“We spent a very pleasant week staying here.”

Sudbury is a hidden gem . The owner is very approachable and nothing is too much trouble. The interior is beautifully decorated and although situated on a main road really quiet inside. The only problem we encountered was exiting the property as we found the junction quite difficult .

“We really loved this cottage & felt completely at home when we returned each day.”

It was warm, cosy & well appointed with everything that we needed for our stay. Sudbury town centre is a short walk away, with a good selection of shops, pubs & supermarkets. There are regular buses to Colchester, Lavenham or Bury St Edmunds & the train will take you to connect with the Great Eastern main line if you want to explore further. A lovely property in a great location.

Diane March 2024

“Jenny, the owner, was extremely welcoming and helpful.”

Stable Cottage was very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. It's within an easy walk of the town centre, restaurants and the little Quay theatre. I had a really enjoyable week.

“We stayed at Stable Cottage to celebrate my husbands birthday in February.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, cottage is lovely & cosy, close to the town centre and great to have off road parking. Our host Jenny was very friendly and accommodating. Loved our week there, just a shame about the weather but didn’t spoil play. Highly recommend and Sudbury is a lovely market town. Many thanks Jenny!

“Stable Cottage is a nice, smart property.”

. On arrival we were greeted by the owner who gave us an introduction to the property, heating and hot water system etc, and also some general advice about the local area. The property was very clean and stocked with all the necessary items. Furniture and bed was extremely comfortable. We had a nice stay and will return to this area again.

“We were very happy in Stable Cottage, a good location close to centre but quiet and peaceful.”

Ample of street parking. Cosy cottage, warm and well appointed. Charming hostess who made sure that we had everything we needed. Nothing not to like

Sofka October 2023

“A neat and tidy home from home.”

Well equipped, comfortable and welcoming. Nicely located so everything in Sudbury within walking distance. Jenny was very friendly and helpful.

- Sofka, October 2023
Ruth October 2023

“This was our 2nd stay at Stable Cottage.”

It’s a very clean, comfortable & cosy place. Only a 10 minute walk to the town shops, local walks and a short drive to NT properties, attractive Suffolk villages & Apex Theatre at Bury St Edmunds. Although we’ve usually visited Stable Cottage during Autumn we hope to return sometime during a different season.

- Ruth, October 2023
Ann April 2023

“We had an excellent stay at Stable cottage.”

Jenny the owner was lovely, she met us when we got there and told us everything we needed to know, there was also bread, butter, marmalade, milk and home made cookies waiting for us. The whole cottage was spotless and so cosy, the beds were super comfortable, bathroom large with a really powerful shower with lots of hot water. We would definitely recommend this gorgeous cottage and will hopefully be back soon.

- Ann, April 2023
Mavis April 2023

“Lovely comfortable and warm cottage for our weekend stay in our old home town.”

Position couldn't be better - close to so many historic buildings.

- Mavis, April 2023

Thank you! Property Owner

“Lovely place very tidy and very convenient for Sudbury and surrounding area.”

- Alan, February 2023
Jennifer January 2023

“Spacious accommodation within close proximity of town and busy road.”

Property advertised with WI-FI but only worked sporadically, also affecting the tv internet channels. Agree with previous comments that bar stools at the table would be best replaced with proper chairs. Also found sofas rather soft and uncomfortable. Perturbed when was chased early morning for time we were vacating the property/return of key. Written instructions from Sykes were to put in the key safe outside on leaving.

- Jennifer, January 2023
Barry September 2022

“Clean & comfortable with everything we needed.”

An easy short walk to the shops & market-place with many enjoyable walks nearby makes Stable Cottage an ideal place to stay. Jenny is a welcoming & friendly host without beimd intrusive. We hope to return.

- Barry, September 2022
Susan September 2022

“The cottage was light, spacious and clean.”

It was well equipped and comfortable. However we would agree with previous reviews that chairs for the dining table would be more acceptable than stools.. Stable cottage was convenient for the town, and also river and meadow walks. Sudbury is a busy town with many independent shops and a good market. The walk from Sudbury to Bures was extremely scenic, with a rail replacement bus to return to Sudbury. There are so many nearby walks around Long Melford and Nayland incorporating some interesting old churches. There are also many coffee shops and restaurants. We recommend 'The Codfather' for fish and vegetarian dishes.

- Susan, September 2022
Margaret July 2022

“Lovely comfortable cottage within walking distant of the centre of Sudbury.”

Excellent base for exploring Suffolk.

- Margaret, July 2022
Geoff May 2022

“The property is very well located both for the town centre and for walking along the old railway line path and across the water meadows.”

It was clean and pretty comfortable - particularly when we had turned the mattress on the double bed to counteract a bit of a slope to one side. It is rather odd that the accommodation seems to have been designed without the inclusion of a normal dining table and chairs. We managed with the little drop leaf table and small stools provided but the arrangement doesn't encourage lingering over a meal (and it must be difficult to get 4 people round the table). The property description includes "fridge/freezer" so we were surprised to discover there was only a fridge with a small freezer compartment.

- Geoff, May 2022
Lesley March 2022

“Stable cottage is a comfortable, well resourced cottage in an excellent location.”

- Lesley, March 2022
Susan March 2022

“Clean, bright, good parking space and a short walk from the town centre.”

All the facilities you would want for a nice stay.

- Susan, March 2022
Douglas December 2021

“Lovely cottage with good facilities.”

The only real problem was that there was not really sufficient space for the table so eating in comfortably was a little difficult. Otherwise, for a couple, everything great.

- Douglas, December 2021
Marianne September 2021

“Your directions instructions were not good.”

The map did not show exact location. Did not need tea towel or oven gloves. Cottage lovely and comfortable

- Marianne, September 2021
Anne September 2021

“We spent a week in September 2021 in Stable Cottage in Sudbury.”

Jenny, the owner, was there to welcome us and proved to be a very helpful and charming hostess. We appreciated her welcome pack of milk, bread, butter, marmalade and home made cookies. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and has recently been repainted. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom is modern with a walk-in shower. We slept well, despite the occasional traffic noise. The location of the cottage is perfect, as it only takes a few minutes to walk to the historic town square, local restaurants, supermarkets and the lovely meadows. Sudbury is the ideal base for visiting nearby Long Melford, Cavendish, Clare, Lavenham and Bury St. Edmunds as well as for longer trips to the coast, Sutton Hoo and Flatford Mill. There is so much to explore in this peaceful and picturesque county that we will definitely be back.

- Anne, September 2021
Helen July 2021

“Stable Cottage is a lovely welcoming and comfortable home.”

It is a very successfully converted characterful property that has been recently renovated. It is light and airy and in an excellent location. You can walk easily into Sudbury or drive to the beautiful surrounding towns and villages. It is quiet and peaceful and the owner absolutely charming. It is well equipped and tastefully decorated. We will definitely be returning in the future if possible. Thank you Jenny for a brilliant weekend .

- Helen, July 2021
Kate July 2021

“Lovely cottage.”

Excellent location for exploring the Stour Valley, Suffolk and the Essex coast. Very well equipped - all the required kitchen accessories to make feeding a family easy. Comfortable beds and bathroom. If you had an easily-woken baby or are sensitive to road noise then the squeaky floorboards and proximity to the road would need to be considered. Very friendly and helpful host - nothing too much trouble. Would definitely stay again.

- Kate, July 2021
Sue July 2021

“Brilliant host obviously takes pride in providing a first class property with more than essential items included in every room and plenty of space which made it feel like home from home.”

The cottages is light and airy and having stable door open was great. The lovely villages to visit locally as well as the one hour trip to find the sea at Felixstowe were a lovely surprise as never visited this area previously. Lots of walks and definitely a relaxing weeks holiday. Would have liked to have seen a breakdown of your company charges on the initial first page on your web site and also explained when speaking to your call centre who offered to complete the booking as I was having difficulty with my internet and then adding of a further small charge for that service.I was only given the total of my booking on the phone. I obviously expected a charge but on questioning the amount of £65 after receiving my receipt of my last minute booking I was told it is not a set amount or a percentage of the cost but automatically worked out. I am not criticising your follow-up emails or call centre service just your transparency of booking charges.

- Sue, July 2021
Tom April 2021

“Lovely converted stables / cottage in the heart of Sudbury.”

Close to shops and the beautiful Stour valley. The Stables were spotlessly clean, well-equipped and very comfortable. Lots of nice touches including homemade biscuits and marmalade and fresh flowers made our stay even more welcoming.

- Tom, April 2021

Keith August 2020

“Staying in Stable Cottage was our first experience using Sykes Cottages.”

It was exceptional, and by far the best self-catering cottage we have stayed in. We will definitely recommend Sykes Cottages and hope to book again in the not too distant future.

- Keith, August 2020
Megan July 2020

“Wonderful cottage within walking distance of Sudbury town centre.”

Great base for exploring surrounding beautiful villages/many visitor attractions. Countryside is very clean (very little litter - unlike some parts of the country!) and all local people were very pleasant and very helpful (again unlike some parts of the country).

- Robert, June 2019
James May 2019

“Stable Cottage is a beautifully maintained cottage with a delightful host.”

Located in Sudbury it is a 5 minute walk to the Market Place and centre of town yet it has beautiful meadow and river walks right on the doorstep. The cottage had everything we needed to have a perfect weeks stay. It does not have a washing machine/dryer but just an 8 minute walk takes you to an excellent laundrette. Could have easily stayed longer.

- James, May 2019
Helen May 2019

“Lovely comfortable cottage , nice welcome and plenty to do in the area.”

Would certainly use again if staying in the same area.

- Helen, May 2019

“Cottage located in a town with an excellent array of shops/places to eat.”

All within walking distance.Beautiful countryside and quaint villages in the vicinity as well as NT properties to visit. The cottage is compact but has everything you need and the beds are very comfortable. Great shower. Ideal location for visiting “Constable country” and the Suffolk coast is within reach. Aldeburgh and Southwold very picturesque.

About the location

SUDBURY

Colchester 15.5 miles; Dedham Vale 11.2 miles

This small market town in Suffolk boasts pretty half-timbered houses, characterful sloping roofs and is home to the famous painter Thomas Gainsborough. Take a stroll along Gainsborough Street and down a little alleyway where you will find Gainsborough House, his birthplace and where he resided for many of his younger years. In this modest, late-medieval brick house is a marvellous collection of some of his finest work to be admired. Resting in the Stour Valley in an Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty, the surrounding majestic countryside of Sudbury is what inspired most of his paintings. Stroll along the River Stour and soak up the tranquil atmosphere or meander through The Croft with its green lawns and pretty wildlife, a lovely spot to take the kids to feed the ducks. Enjoy the beautiful architecture in the area, Sudbury presents a combination of Victorian terrace houses, Georgian manor houses and medieval timber framed Halls. Belle Vue Park is a lovely spot for kicking back and watching the world go by and there is an array of shops in the town to delight in. This ancient market town is only fifteen miles from Colchester where you will discover Colchester Castle, an 11th century edifice and manicured grounds, Hollytrees Museum showcasing local history exhibits, Colchester Zoo and the stunning High Woods Country Park. Sudbury is also not too far from the coast so why not take a day trip and explore the 350 miles of stunning shoreline in Essex, it is one of the most diverse places of surprising, natural wild beauty. This is a delightful town and a spectacular location to base your family holiday.
