Our stay at Willow cottage was everything we imagined, compact but comfortable, the host was readily available and pleased to help with any inquiry. The property was clean and well stocked with all cleaning materials. The setting is tranquil quite with moor hens, adult trees and other wildlife, the nights are very very quiet. Local shops are a drive away about 5 miles. There is takeaway information and local eateries ie pubs ( which I can highly recommend) all in all , if you want a relaxing, private away from the hassle and bussle, i can recommend this location. My only criticism is that the TV is on the small side.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Willow Cottage. We had a friendly welcome and our hosts even helped us to unload our luggage from the car! We had some lovely edible gifts and the cottage was warm and welcoming - on a chilly day. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Suffolk Seclusion

Only slight downside was distance from car park to property across grassed area and stones - not too difficult for this aging 70+ couple but could be awkward for those less able. Overall, a very pleasant stay in secluded area.

Hello David We’re pleased that you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to meet you both. I should point out that we have a parking area very close to the cottage through the side gate which is used by the less mobile. In fact we’ve had wheel chair users stay in the cottage. If necessary guests can park on the gravel area immediately outside the cottage. I really hope the access wasn’t a problem for you because had I known otherwise I would have offered the more accessible parking area. Kind regards Tina

Willow cottage Badingham

Ideal location for touring, close enough to coast and central villages. Willow cottage has everything you need in a peaceful tranquil setting, the deck overlooking the pond a nice place to sit back with glass or two after touring each day. Only draw back were the bugs off pond be sure to take insect repellent.

Heaven

We have just had such a relaxing break. Spotlessly clean, comfy bed and comfy settee - major pluses for us. Just loved sitting on the decking watching the fish - only sound was birdsong. Tina and Chris were a super couple - they have it just right - friendly, helpful but not at all intrusive. Would thoroughly recommend.

Home from home

A restful, silent place to retreat to, with beautiful nature with lots of residents to put a smile on my face such as the moorhen- to be family, wounded pheasant, 3 musketeer ducks, playful squirrel and an explorer fawn if you are lucky. Even when it was raining for a couple of days, it was blissful. Walk in any direction where your heart takes you. Would stay here again. Loved my week.

Wonderful peaceful place

I wonderful little bit of heaven not far from beaches towns and pubs. Had a lovely weekend only thing I would say but this is personal preference I would put the living room tv in the bedroom and a bigger tv in the living room even with my glasses on I found it have to read the program list but like I said that's just me. Will still be rebookin very welcoming hosts and amazing place to stay.

Recharged and Refreshed

Willow Cottage is gorgeous. It is clean, comfortable and the perfect size for two people. Added to that is the location, in a setting that encourages complete relaxation, with only the sound of birdsong to break the silence. There are walks into open countryside from a footpath that runs close to the property, and yet within a short distance are numerous lovely towns and villages. We returned from our break completely relaxed and would happily recommend the cottage for a break.

great property

Had a good week att the willows which was very clean and well prepared. The property is situated in beautiful surroundings which were very quiet and ideal for watching nature. Our only problem was car parking not very close to property when we arrived but Tina and her husband were on holiday. When they returned all problems were resolved and we had access right up to and very close to the bungalow. Would not hesitate to return at a later date. Lovelly property and people.

Phil’s Review

The property is ok and is situated by a pond,in the garden alone we saw deer believe they were muntjacs several species of small birds and the resident moorhens,however the weather was generally chilly and did not allow us on to the decking overlooking the pond.Facilities inside the property were generally first class although the shower was difficult to work.Other than Southwold which is an excellent visit,and fairly close we spent a lot of time travelling to attractions,this was our fault having never been before we under estimated how far away they were,local bigger towns/villages Framlingham and Saxmundham were a dissapointment.However Norwich (Norfolk)and RAF Lakenheath and Bury St Edmund we’re good visits.Unfortunately we are not walkers because this appears to be an excellent area for that.A good week but heavy on the car fuel,thank our hosts for having us

Excellent property in a lovely, quiet setting. Generally well-equipped, although some comfortable outdoor seating would have been welcome. Also, given that we were there during a heatwave, a parasol would have been nice. These minor points apart, we had a great time. Many thanks to Tina.

Relaxing Oasis

The property was everything me and my husband were looking for. It is quite and relaxing away from the rush of normal life, it is so easy sitting in the living room enjoying a drink, watching the world go by and enjoying the joys of watching the wildlife. Thank you to Chris and Tina for allowing us to enjoy this property and have such a wonderful time.
