“This property is well located giving a very quiet and peaceful ambience to a stay.”

The rooms are extremely spacious and well decorated and furnished. The grounds are attractive and well kept. However, a few things need urgent attention by the owner :-. 1. There is no handrail on the steep staircase which contravenes current Building Regulations. 2. The pull switch for the bathroom light is incredibly, positioned BEHIND the door, which has to be opened fully to reach it - this can be hazardous. 3. There was a serious house-fly infestation in the main bedroom which rendered it ...

The rooms are extremely spacious and well decorated and furnished. The grounds are attractive and well kept. However, a few things need urgent attention by the owner :-. 1. There is no handrail on the steep staircase which contravenes current Building Regulations. 2. The pull switch for the bathroom light is incredibly, positioned BEHIND the door, which has to be opened fully to reach it - this can be hazardous. 3. There was a serious house-fly infestation in the main bedroom which rendered it unusable, although being just a couple, we used the second bedroom. My last grumble concerns the locked connecting door in the lounge between the adjoining house. Much noise can be heard through this door when the other occupants are using their entrance hallway or kitchen, which abuts the doorway. Bricking it up would seem the only answer here. It's a shame that these problems have marred what is a very fine restored farmhouse, but we did enjoy the stay which was blessed with unusually good October weather. Regards Michael P Keen

“Photos do not do justice, the cottage was just lovely.”

Quiet, peaceful location. Easy to find. Very comfortable, spotlessly clean, all facilities available and everything thought about to make an excellent stay. Would highly recommend.

“We were lucky to be the first people renting this property.”

It really did exceed our expectations - the online photos don't do it justice. It was beautiful inside and outside. The house was thoughtfully furnished and equipped (perhaps consider adding a cafetiere). We loved sitting in the yard with the sunset in the evenings, with a seriously good and restful view. We enjoyed local walks and appreciated the suggestions for local amenities in the folder. We left a note recommending the pub at Sibton for eating but also enjoyed other places in Peasenhall and Yoxford. The property is also well placed for visiting elsewhere, e.g. Snape Maltings. We were lucky to be sole occupiers for a week. Perhaps the communal back yard might not always work if two sets of occupants both want privacy. Also, other people might be irritated by our dog! We couldn't find instructions about putting bin out and recycling in the folder. The owners responded amazingly quickly when there was an issue. Overall, a great stay - thank you

Thank you for this wonderful feedback, and we are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your relaxing break at South Grange Cottage. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner
