Lovely cottage inside and out

The Shearers' Cottage was in a pretty location and was everything we could have wished for. There was a fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms with modern ensuites, a lounge with TV, a dining area and a utility room with washing machine. Outside there was an outdoor setting, access to a washing line and children's play area. There was wine and milk in the fridge and tea and coffe making essentials. All bedding and towels were provided and we spent a lovely few days there. I wish we had booked for longer. Thanks, Helen.

Cosy cottage

Clean and comfy well stocked kitchen and eating places nearby. Though it was a bit of a walk three quarters of a mile about. The cottage was warm and welcoming so we will be back

Lovely

The property was spacious and clean. The rooms were large and comfortable. The two bedrooms were warm and the kitchen was modern. The living room had two large sofa’s and a lovely round dining table. It was a nice touch to have wine and milk waiting for us when we arrived. The owner also introduced herself during our visit which was nice. The location was excellent, very quiet but also near to Sutton Hoo and the pleasant village of Melton. I highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Helen Shand

My name is Helen Shand and I and my husband Garrow bought Castle Farm in 1987. We are from suffolk farming stock and wanted our four children to have plenty of space to play in safety. Shearers cottage was at that time an old sheep shearing shed in our front garden and we felt it would make an ideal holiday cottage. That was 24 years ago and now Shearers Cottage has been extended and re-furbished to a very high standard. We are therefore on hand if our guests need anything.

Why they chose this property

We bought Castle Farm, a 50 acre farm, to have more space for Garrow's contracting business and for our children to have plenty of space for horses, cars, bikes and loads of fun! We love this part of Suffolk as there is so much to do, the varied countryside, with woods, beautiful coastline and wide open spaces to explore, has something for everyone.
