The property is absolutely fabulous - well designed and equipped to a very high standard throughout. Just perfect! We will be back sometime in the future for sure. The secure access and lock to the side of the house is a great idea for security. I think the shaded position helped in this current heatwave, so that was good.. Thank you James for Read moreall the goodies left for us on our arrival. Very much appreciated! It was great to meet you.

Lovely accommodation and very clean with good quality fittings. In a very nice village. For us with our dog we felt restricted being at the end of the owners garden and having to walk down the side of their garden every time we went out. It was uncomfortable for us.

We had a fantastic time in Debenham where there are lovely tearooms and numerous walks on the doorstep. The lodge itself is in a secluded location at the very back of a large garden. The living room / kitchen was spacious and well equipped and the large bathroom - with a fantastic shower - was superb. The bed was very comfortable. The small encloseRead mored garden with the lodge was useful for the dogs first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Some goodies as a welcome gift were much appreciated by us and both our dogs. An excellent 5 days. Highly recommend. Hide

After being campers/caravanners for many many years we didnt know what to expect from a cottage holiday. After a couple of hiccups when we first arrived mainly due to us oldies, everything went well. The rooms were much larger than we envisaged and the bathroom shower and toilet all looked brand new. Several sample sized shampoo /conditioner/hand cRead morereams etc was a nice touch plus the reading books, and the informative leaflets. Mustnt forget the lovely loaf of bread, butter and milk. Phoebe dog was also happy with the treats left for her, even dog bowls were provided Weve nothing to judge this against as this is a first but itll be hard to beat. Well done James and Claire Hide

A lovely lodge in a peaceful location. Although situated at the end of a garden, it was a very long garden and you didnt feel overlooked at all. Only a short walk to the village where there are 2 pubs, 3 cafes and a co-op. If you wish to have dinner at The Lion, I would recommend booking. There is a Thai mobile takeaway restaurant on a SaturdayRead more night which was very good. Hide
