“Super location for touring Suffolk.”

A lovely and unique property just right for two. Set in stunning grounds and private garden. Nice welcome from the owner. Waitrose and Tesco a short distance in Saxmundham, and a good eatery, The Plough & Sail, nearby at Snape Maltings. A relaxing, peaceful, rejuvenating and idyllic stay.

“We really enjoyed our stay at the bothy, we have a couple of suggestions to improve the experience, the sofa and armchair are a little uncomfortable, perhaps a couple of footstools would help, the bed was very hard, again we suggest maybe a mattress topper might be of use and lastly a draining rack on the side of the sink would be a good idea, but honestly we would highly recommend it to family and friends.”

“The Bothy lived up to expectations for peace and quiet in a verdant location.”

Parking good but a little way from the property. The bed was harder than we're used to and we would have liked to see mattress and pillow protectors used. Excellent shower and well equipped property.

“Just spent a lovely week in the bothy in a lovely quiet area with safe parking, although the property is small and compact we had a lovely big garden that was very safe for our cocker spaniel to run around which she loved, the owners were very informative about the best places to see and to eat and very approachable if you needed anything.”

“We had a very comfortable and enjoyable one week stay at the Bothy.”

The setting is both tranquil and beautiful and it was a pleasure to sit on the patio in the sunshine listening to the birds sing. A perfect antidote to busy city life. The area around the Suffolk Coast is also both beautiful and interesting, and the Bothy provided easy access to excellent walks, interesting history (e.g. Sutton Hoo, Framlingham Castle) and brilliant music at Snape Maltings. The accommodation itself was clean, well maintained, well equipped and ideal for a couple. We would be very happy to return. ,

“Matt and Aline were very welcoming and we felt that nothing would be too much trouble.”

Matt loaned us a larger saucepan to accommodate our Christmas pudding. We were also given a bottle of wine to celebrate with. We had a very enjoyable week and would certainly consider returning.

“A very comfy and cosy place to stay.”

A couple of things, which didn’t detract from the stay but I wanted to mention. The bed squeaks ( I accept I am quite large!) and some salt, pepper and olive oil would be a nice touch as most places we stay have these. Unless I missed them?

- Graham, October 2025
Mary October 2025

“I had been going through a rather stressful time but arriving at The Bothy soon had me relaxing.”

The grounds with the beautiful trees and generous garden for my two little dogs just added to the peaceful setting. I also found lots of interesting places to visit within easy driving or walking distance. I would love to return in the future .

“Great garden for our dog.”

Bed was very creaky, mattress was a little bit too soft for us.Facilities were adequate. The property looked a little dated and could do with a little bit of an upgrade.Overall good location for access to local beaches and tourist attractions.

“A Pleasant base for our visit to Suffolk.”

Uneven pathway to gateway and broken slab on steps by gate. When we arrived the shower was broken when and the oven and fridge wasnt clean. Numerous cobwebs found and the whole property couldve been better. House keeping certainly needs attention. Nice sized garden for our dog,, however grass left very long in places so difficult to pick up after Blaze. The small patio area could be tidier. Nice to have a bottle of wine left for us, Nice quiet location.

The bedrooms opens off the living space with chic shower room beyond and hard flooring throughout with rugs. The wonderfully private patio, fondly known by the owners as the G&T patio, is an ideal place to unwind in the sun and watch the sunset over the paddock beyond, which features a 1920s era petrol pump, with its artistic qualities it has been nicknamed as the "Hambling." Living/Kitchen/Dining Area A sociable space which has been cleverly designed with the kitchen running against one wall housing an under counter fridge, slimline dishwasher. electric oven, microwave, ceramic hob and counter top freezer. The sitting area has a two seater sofa and arm chair, positioned so you can enjoy the view, the warming wood burner or watch the telly with DVD player. If you enjoy dining in your holiday home there's a table and couple of chairs, with ample crockery and cuttlery in the dresser.
