Bluebird Cottage

The cottage was as described and well equipped.

Mary was welcoming and very helpful in suggestions for places to visit and the welcome pack of eggs, milk etc together with selection of tea/ coffee was appreciated. We all slept really well in this quiet location. Being the month of June the heating was efficient when we returned to the property!! Would we recommend? Definitely.

Bluebird Cottage was a wonderful place to stay for our short break.

It was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. It was particularly lovely to hear the sparrows chattering outside the windows. A handy place for exploring the area; we had great day trips to Duxford, Ely and Cambridge.

Lovely cottage in pretty village.

Ideal location for visiting family and Bury St Edmunds.

A lovely well appointed, comfortable and immaculately clean cottage very well situated for visiting Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds.

Mary was very helpful when there was a problem with our arrival courtesy of Sykes Cottages.

The accommodation was very clean, well equipped kitchen, large bathroom with a great shower, plenty of towels etc. Good location being close to several surrounding places.

Our family enjoyed our stay.

The cottage is conveniently located to Bury St Edmunds and A14. The cottage was well stocked. Mary was kind and helpful.

Our second time at Bluebird Cottage.

It's such a lovely place – quiet, very clean, and equipped with everything we needed. There's plenty to explore nearby too. Mary is very helpful, thoughtful, and welcoming. We’ll definitely be coming back again.

Great location for visiting attractions with easy access to fast roads yet quiet, peaceful hamlet.

Accommodation clean, comfortable and well appointed. Very comfortable beds. Owner very hospitable and attentive to our needs. Highly recommend this property.

The cottage was perfect for our needs.

The owner was extremely helpful and checked in with us during our stay to ensure all was well. I would stay here again.

An excellent cottage to stay in and Mary was there to greet us.

We would have no hesitation in booking again. The place is well located to access many surrounding places. The village was lovely and quiet too.

Lovely stay at the cottage, so much so we've booked for next year already!

A perfect stay, a great host, a great cottage, and thankfully good weather. Thank you Mary! Vanessa & Steve

This is a very clean and comfortable cottage in a quiet location but within minutes of the A14.

We had a very good week. There are lots of lovely places to visit within easy reach.

We had a wonderful few days at Bluebird Cottage.

It was so comfortable and well equipped, and Mary was on call if needed. Thank you, we shall re-visit again.

We were given a very warm welcome by the owner.

The cottage was very clean and beautifully quiet - no noise from the neighbours or the road. Very convenient for A14.

Bluebird cottage was a perfect retreat, beautifully decorated and cosy.

In a perfect place for visiting local attractions.

Incredibly comfortable cottage that was the perfect base for our stay around Bury St Edmunds.

The cottage is beautifully presented and has all you could need for a very relaxing week away. Mary was very helpful and accommodating throughout our trip. I would highly recommend Bluebird Cottage to anyone looking for the perfect place to stay around the Bury St Edmunds / Newmarket area.

We had a great week at Bluebird Cottage.

Greeted by the owner who showed us round and made us feel very welcome. Nice welcome gift hamper too. Quietly located which is what we wanted, off road parking which we also seek. Good point to set out from to see the numerous places we wanted to see, good bus service from the end of the road to save the hassle of parking. Very clean and well equipped. Highly recommended.

Lovely typical homely cottage in a very quiet village.

So clean and well kept property. The welcome pack and milk were very much appreciated on arrival. Would consider booking again if holidaying in the area.

A lovely cottage in a very quiet location but close to many places of interest.

Ickworth, Anglesey Abbey, Melford Hall, Lavenham Guildhall & Wicken Fen, all National Trust & well worth a visit. There is also an excellent park and ride into Cambridge. We had a very nice week in Bluebird Cottage despite the mixed weather.

lovely, clean, comfortable cottage with good parking, vehicle access not a problem.

The owner met us on arrival and explained everything we needed to know, a pleasant change these days of remote key codes! We had a restful week here and found it perfect for access to the main roads for days out in Suffolk. Even the sun stayed with us!

A wonderful stay at Bluebird Cottage in an excellent position to explore three (if not four) counties within 30 minutes.

A comfortable, quiet cottage with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. Mary was the perfect host who went above and beyond to ensure our every comfort - the welcome basket went down a treat! We very much hope to return.

We really enjoyed our stay at this delightful cottage.

It was quirky but very well maintained. As someone who enjoys cooking the kitchen was excellent with everything you could need. It was also in a very good position with easy access to a lovely surrounding area. There were shops and a very nice restaurant in nearby Barrow. We met the very helpful owner, which was a lovely touch. It is a cottage to which we hope to return in the near future.

Amazing property in a quiet location.

Fantastic amenities. Spotlessly clean and so comfortable. Nice welcoming touches and provisions for our stay. Host met us on arrival as well as contacting us with directions, any requests we might have etc. Wish we could have stayed longer will definitely consider if we are in the area again. Highly recommended.

lovely cottage.

Lovely welcome pack provided which the owner tailors to your dietary needs if required. The access road to the parking space at the back is narrow so be aware if you have a large car, but we found it fine. Very quiet and peaceful location - village handy for attractions in Cambridgeshire and west Suffolk being close to the A14.

Immaculately clean, very well equipped and very comfortable.

A lovely welcome and good communication with Mary.

A lovely rustic cottage set in an extremely quiet area.

Ideally situated to visit many interesting places within say 20 miles. The cottage was very clean and well equipped and we were left a lovely welcome package. The owner kept us well informed prior to our visit.

We've had a very good week in Mary's cottage.

A wonderful welcome! We 'ml come back! Merci!

Lovely little cottage, we enjoyed our stay.

It was nice and clean. Good location. The host Mary was quick to respond to messages and was very accommodating. We enjoyed the welcome hamper. Thank you

Bluebird cottage is a beautiful holiday home.

It is lovely and clean and has everything you would need. It also felt very spacious. The cottage is in a great location for exploring Suffolk. Mary, the owner, is very friendly and approachable and provided a wonderful welcome hamper. We would definitely return to this cottage and highly recommend.

Couldn’t have asked for more , this cottage was perfect in every way and Mary was so helpful and caring when we had to leave early due to me being poorly .

I managed to stay for my birthday and visited Anglesey Abbey to see the spring flowers . Maybe we will be back as it’s only a short ride from home x

Lovely cottage.

Has all the "cottage feel" of beams etc but rooms are far more spacious than you would expect. Well equipped kitchen and bathroom. You have all the benefits of being in a peaceful small village with no traffic but at same time you are close to a junction of the A14 so can quickly get to any attraction. There is a good sized parking space at back of cottage but you need to get through a narrow lane between cottages to access. That said a neighbour can get his work van through the gap and we had no problems...but a nervous driver might struggle. Mary made us most welcome. Loved it!

We had a very pleasant welcome from Mary who gave us a tour of the property.

The cottage was quiet and restful for our stay here, we had excellent weather, plenty to see of the local towns, Would highly recommend this property. Linda-Ken-Stuart

Lovely cottage and got everything we needed.

The cottage is in a nice quiet area and very handy for A14 that takes us to many visiting places. Love to come back.

Beautiful cottage in lovely location, perfect to unwind in.

Very well equipped and looked after and all very comfortable. Will recommend and would definitely stay again. Lots to do in area.

‘The cottage is delightful, as is the owner, Mary.

Nothing is too much trouble, both to help guests and in the way the house is presented. It is both elegant and functional, which is never easy to achieve, especially with a holiday property. We had such a snug stay that we were often tempted into staying at ‘home’ rather than going out to explore. Everything you could want plus such a comfortable bed!’

Relaxing stay !

The stairs are indeed very narrow with a curve at the top.

There is plenty to hang on to, however. The house is extremely quiet.

This the second time we have been to this cottage.

Situated in a nice quiet hamlet just a few minutes from Bury-St-Edmunds. All the mod-coms in the cottage and done to a high standard. Mary(the owner)is always there to welcome you on your first arrival. There is plenty to do around the area,the lovely tea room in Lavenham up on the square (making a reservation is best,this place gets very busy)

Thank you Mary, we had a very comfortable stay in your charming cottage, we enjoyed the goody hamper you left for us to enjoy, and knew we could contact you if we had any problem.

The cottage was on a quiet road and we woke refreshed in the very comfortable beds.

We had everything we needed in the cottage.

It is deceptively bigger than the photos, and renovated to a great standard. Very comfortable beds, lovely garden to sit in, lots to do in the area and a friendly welcome from the owner.

Bluebird Cottage was the perfect place for us to relax as the location was quiet without being too isolated.

It is only a 5 minute drive to the A14 and most places in East Anglia are accessible from there easily. Mary, the owner, was there to welcome us and the cottage has obviously been renovated to a high standard recently. We had everything we needed and Mary was on hand to answer any questions. Ickworth House, Bury and Newmarket are all one 15-20 minute drive away and Cambridge, Ely and Ipswich are reachable in less than an hour. I would recommend Bluebird Cottage to any couple or small family who want to escape the noise and do a little sightseeing as well.

We had a lovely 3-night stay in Bluebird Cottage in Feb 2023.

Leading up to our stay, we received plenty of information well in advance and so were able to find and access the cottage without any issue at all. The cottage itself is perfect - well maintained and with all of the appliances you would need. The beds are super comfy, the living room is cosy and the bathroom is great with both a power-shower and a big separate bathtub. The cottage is also perfectly located to be able to explore the local area and beyond. Mary also made the time to pop-by before we let - a lovely touch and so nice to meet you Mary! We would definitely recommend Bluebird Cottage and will absolutely be staying again!

A very warm and cosy cottage and appreciated the arrival information and welcome from Mary.

Loved the good quality kitchen equipment (so often lacking in holiday cottages) and wonderful bath. Ideal base from which to visit local area and we will seek to use again.

We had a lovely stay in this surprisingly spacious old cottage recently renovated to a very high standard.

Good mix of old and modern, with comfortable memory foam beds, a practical and well-equipped kitchen and the best bathroom we’ve seen in any holiday rental. Set in a quiet village yet only two minutes from the A14 so connections are good.

A wonderfully well equipped property in beautiful countryside and an ideal base to explore East Anglia

The property is situated in a quiet village and is close to Bury-St-Edmunds and Cambridge.

Mary & Nasser have made this mid-cottage a delight to come to. The areas in other comments are a must to visit. If you are in the Thetford forest area on a Sunday,a visit to the Elveden Estate shop & restaurant is a must,the roast dinner is an explosion of tastes. Mary is always on the end of the phone to help .

Bluebell Cottage has been very stylishly furnished with a lot of thought put into everything a visitor could possibly need.

The beds are extremely comfortable, there are outdoor seating areas both front and back to follow the sun and even an Ordnance Survey map provided of the local area. The owners are readily available should you need any advice or help and two well-stocked shops are just a short distance away in Barrow. We definitely plan on returning. Wendy

The cottage is lovely and the location is very peaceful.

Even though the cottage is in a terrace, you don't hear a soul! There is everything in the cottage that you need - it is very cosy and comfortable. Mary (and Nasser), the owners are very friendly, helpful and always available should you need anything. The car parking was great and easily accessible. Mary left us a 'welcome basket' of bits and bobs which was really nice - the strawberries and ice cream were delicious too. The cottage is easily accessible to Bury-St-Edmunds, Cambridge, Ely and a lovely village called Lavenham (thank you Mary for the recommendation). There's a lovely tea room in Lavenham (Lavenham Blue Vintage Tea Room - highly recommended). My Mum and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bluebird Cottage and would highly recommend staying there. A little gem and I'm glad I found it!

We spent a lovely week in Bluebird Cottage in August 2022.

The interior of the cottage was as good as new. Stylish and tasteful. The modern and complete kitchen inventory makes it a pleasure to cook your own meals. The quiet hamlet of Higham is an ideal base for day trips to (for example) Cambridge, Ickworth and Lavenham. And last but not least: the kind and very approachable owner, Mary, is a paragon of hospitality and helpfulness.

Bluebird cottage was absolutely beautiful and we had the most comfortable stay.

Mary the owner was very welcoming and took time to show us round the cottage and all it had to offer. Mary also left us and abundance of treats in our welcome basket along with fresh strawberries and ice cream. The cottage had everything we needed and we loved our stay. We will definitely be back soon.

We booked last minute to stay at Bluebird Cottage, it’s a really lovely cottage, very clean and very well equipped with everything you need to make it feel like home from home - I could have easily moved in and lived there.

Mary the owner met us on arrival and showed us the cottage and gave us some tips on what to see and where to visit whilst we were there. We had an unforeseen problem due to the crazy thunderstorm but Mary & husband Nasser we’re quick to sort it, they were great and just a phone call away. Location is great too, ideal to visit Bury, New Market and surrounding areas, Tesco a few minutes drive away to get and bits you might need and plenty of places to eat out if you prefer. We will visit again!

What a lovely clean and welcoming property.

Well equipped, Mary even provided a fan at short notice given the weather was very hot. In general the location is quiet so sitting outside watching the housmartins and bats of an evening was a delight. Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge are all within a half hour drive. Being aircraft enthusiasts the bases at Mildenhall, Lakenheath and the museum at Duxford are also close by. We would highly recommend this cottage and plan to visit ourselves again soon.

Charming quaint cottage with original features set in a small rural village in close proximity of two major towns.

The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped for our stay, a real “home from home” A fantastic welcome pack on our arrival was very much appreciated. We would recommend Bluebird cottage and look forward to staying there again in the future.

A warm personal welcome from Mary and a thoughtful selection of goodies (including icecream in the freezer on the hottest day of the year!

) were a lovely start to our holiday. The cottage is a delightful mix of character with modern amenities and proved extremely comfortable. 'Live' TV is only available on some channels via apps through a NOW TV box as there is no Freeview - probably not a problem for 'on demand' viewers but complicated for us oldies! This was an ideal base to visit the churches and villages of West Suffolk which feature in our family tree, and we would love to return to explore further. Thank you, Mary, for a great week.

We had a lovely stay at Bluebird cottage!

It is easy to find from the A14 and very well appointed with all the essentials and comfortable beds. Mary is extremely helpful and welcoming and made every effort to check that we had everything we needed (which was very welcome with 2 small children!). Fish and chips from nearby Barrow and a visit to Ickworth House are thoroughly recommended.
