Guest reviews

• We had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage in July. We thought the cottage was welcoming and cosy and had everything we needed.
  We particularly liked the long dining table downstairs, and sat each end to have our meals!
  The rooms upstairs are lovely and light and the double bed was extremely comfortable and we also appreciated the lovely linen and bedding.
  Wenhaston is a sweet village and we had great trips around the area, particularly the walks to Walberswick across the heath.  L&HB July 2020

   

   

  Had a fantastic fortnight here in this beautiful cottage, the wood burner has certainly kept us warm and cosy!
  We have spent many hours in Southwold - our dog Skippy loves the beach, especially Gun Hill, and we enjoy refreshments in the Pier cafe.
  Looking forward to our next visit and thanks for having us. It was good to meet you Trish - you are always so helpful and accommodating when we book.  Thanks also of course to Maggie and to Jenny for presenting the cottage to us so clean and tidy and welcoming (the bottle of wine is a lovely gesture!)

• A really comfortable and picturesque cottage.  We had an excellent meal at the Star (booking is recommended).  We went to Snape Maltings for a concert - do try and go - the Alphabet museum is a must! We did a very pleasant day tour of Halesworth - a wonderful town, Beccles, Bungay, Africa alive is well worth a visit with or without children!! Southwold (and the ferry) of course, is a must.  There are buses from the end of this road too.
  Also do not miss the famous Doom painting in Wenhaston church - a remarkable medieval survival! Blythburgh Church is in a beautiful peaceful village and Orford is a lovely place too.
  Woodbridge is also very pleasant, we went twice! Phew! should keep you busy! P& H September 2018
