“A beautiful cottage, lovely surroundings and countryside.”

The owners were so welcoming and were available on site if any problems occurred. A gorgeous welcome hamper on arrival, it was late in the evening due to traffic holdups when we arrived, Anthony immediately on hand to help us with luggage, cottage was lovely and warm and cosy, never needed to light the fire even though logs were provided,also must say, the most comfortable double bed I’ve ever slept in with beautiful luxurious bedding,can’t say enough, a lovely comfortable cottage.

“Wonderful cottage, grounds and hosts!”

The accommodation was just what we wanted and we were not left wanting for anything, the place is very well appointed, comfortable for 4 (plus a dog) and in a lovely rural but well connected location, with walks from the door. It is a wildlife haven (we saw a barn owl, tawny owl and bats to name a few highlights) and the owners commitment to nature really resonated with us. They have planted 1500+ trees, creating a wonderful fenced off woodland that is great for 4 legged friends and use lovely eco friendly products throughout the property.

“The cottage was simply fantastic.”

Extremely well presented and exactly as listed. We only wish we could've spent more time there to relax and unwind. We will be back.

“Thank you to the host of the property for being so accommodating and helpful.”

The welcome gift was very much appreciated. The location is idyllic and was so lovely to be allowed to visit the farm's animals. The cottage lived up to expectations and had all the facilities you would expect and more. The guest book was also very welcome as it had all the information you would want to have for a holiday trip. It was very extensive and useful. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend it for a peaceful trip amongst lovely wildlife and everything around being in easy access. Thank you.

“A nice place to stay for a holiday break.”

The owner very friendly and helpful. All very positive for comments apart from two matters....... 1) Front door doesn`t lock correctly. 2) From 1st floor to ground floor there is no lighting. Transferring via the stair during the night is "risky" (many of us have too!!) This is quite a potentially serious H&S situation.

- Janet, June 2023

The front door can sometimes be a little stiff to lock. A quirk of a 16th Century Barn. However there is an additional slide bolt that can be used on the inside for added security. There is a light above the dressing table which illuminates the stairs. Property Owner

“We were absolutely delighted with the cottage which was very comfortable, well equipped and spacious and yet had great charm with wonderful exposed beams.”

It made an excellent base for touring the many attractions of this part of Suffolk, but we were also pleased to discover that it was surrounded by countryside rich in wildlife. The owners are very considerate (we much appreciated the welcome pack) and their eco-friendly approach struck a sympathetic note with us.

“We were a party of three adults,loved the cottage as soon as we saw it.”

Made to feel very welcome by Anthony & his wife,who showed us where the meadow for dog walking was our little dog loved it. There was a wonderful welcome pack to greet us even biscuits for milly the dog, The cottage itself is of a very high standard,very cosy with everything you would need for a good holiday. We would highly recommend Wassicks cottage, and would hope to visit again sometime. Ann&Denis Westpfel& Sharon Hunt

The property

The front door of this detached holiday cottage takes you into a porch where you can leave outdoor gear, then to the hall with access to the kitchen, bathroom and large living area. The twin bedroom is at the far side of the kitchen and stairs rise from the dining area to a unique galleried bedroom. Wassicks Cottage is surrounded by enchanting gardens and is a peaceful retreat for family and friends, from where they can enjoy so many sights and activities that Suffolk and neighbouring Cambridgeshire have to offer. There’s ample parking on the main drive (shared with the owners). Ground floor Follow the path around the beautiful water fountain and enter into the large porch with stone tiled flooring and hang your hat on the feature horse head coat hooks before you continue through into the hallway which leads ahead to the bathroom, left to the kitchen and twin bedroom beyond and right into the open plan living and dining area with stairs leading to the mezzanine master bedroom above. Kitchen You’ll enjoy preparing meals in this spacious bespoke handmade kitchen with plenty of cupboards, very deep wood effect worktops and handsome corner cabinet. There’s a free standing cooker with oven, grill and four ring ceramic hob, an under counter washing machine and refrigerator and a microwave. Living/Dining Room From the hall, step up into the attractive dining area with substantial extending table and six chairs, dresser and handmade curtains and blind at the windows which overlook the rear and side aspects of the garden. Through a wide gap between the exposed vertical beans sits the elegant living room with a large stylish Chesterfield Sofa and matching armchair with footstool. This double height room is bright with huge windows gives a feeling of calm and the fabulous open fire brings warmth and comfort during the cooler months. There is a flat screen tv with DVD player which lets you enjoy your favourite programmes films together and this room is also a great place to play board games with family and friends. Bathroom The bathroom has been completely refurbished to include a large walk in rainfall shower. There is a WC and wash basin. Twin Bedroom Through a door from the kitchen is this charming bedroom with matching white wooden full-size single beds a central bedside table with lamp and blanket boxes for storage. With oodles of character, the twin has painted stone walls, a window overlooking the courtyard and soft carpet underfoot. First floor From the dining area carpeted stairs with bannister rise to the mezzanine master bedroom. Mezzanine Master Bedroom A very pretty room in the eaves of the building with a double wrought iron bed. The room overlooks the living area with bannister and view of the garden beyond through the full height windows (curtained at the bottom with vertical blinds at the top). For storage, you have a large wooden chest of drawers, two bedside units and a cupboard with hanging rail. There is a lovely dressing table with hinged mirror and an A-frame full-length mirror. Outside The five-bar gate at the top of the drive encloses this most magical garden with large pond which wraps around the cottage. With exquisite topiary, stunning feature roses and so many nooks to explore, this glorious garden really is special. At the front of the cottage is a water fountain with lilies, which the kitchen window overlooks. It provides the tranquil sound of trickling water and a super place for birds and other wildlife to drink. At the rear of the cottage there are two picnic tables by the pond for al fresco dining, with BBQ provided, and a small piece of lawn. There is no fencing around the pond so children must be supervised at all times. Dogs are welcome downstairs at Wassicks Cottage, and although they must be on a lead within the garden and farm because of the animals, there is a meadow next to the cottage where dogs can freely enjoy the space.
