  On arrival we thought the outside of this particular property needed a little TLC.

  Access step’s & bannister rickety & in need of a repaint. Inside first impressions lovely & spacious, bedrooms fabulous. Facilities good but kettle & cutlery could do with replacing. Lounge curtains too long & bunched up on the floor, causing a trip hazard. The windows were not clean & tap in second bathroom was very stiff. I received the E-mail regarding “no water in the lake” the day we arrived so disappointed it was not as advertised. The site was not clearly marked on the entrance from the road (faded) & the long drive to the site was off putting. However our stay was comfortable & we had fabulous weather (loved the hammock) so enjoyed visiting places we had not been to before. We will use Sykes again of course but check information about properties thoroughly before booking.

  What a wonderful place to stay for a complete rest! The comfort, care and thoughtfulness provided in Garden View by the owners for guests is outstanding. The property is very airy, light and well equipped. We really appreciated the welcome tray with homemade preserves and fresh eggs, tea and coffee. How wonderful also, to be allowed to walk around the extensive gardens of their home, which we loved as gardeners. Parham is a quiet hamlet, but ideally placed to use as a base. We enjoyed the local walks Sue mentioned and our visit to the local garden centre for a lovely coffee and scones, not to mention the well stocked nursery. Brochures galore of Suffolk destinations were on hand to browse. The spiral staircase was not an issue and car parking excellent. We would love to visit again.

  Had a lovely few days with great weather.

  The lodge was very comfortable and contained everything you would need. The decking area was nice and spacious and had very nice outdoor furniture, I particularly liked the hammock. I had to cut back a few bramble runners that were encroaching onto the decking though and some of the furniture had bird poo on it which had to be cleaned off, but for me that wasn't to much of a pain. The one big problem we had though, was getting in, we were putting in the code for the key and it would not open. It was about half an hour later that we found another key box around the corner attached to the front fence which worked. I think that could have been made more clear. The stay far outweighed the little niggles though.

  No details of booking in times and booking out times were available on site until AFTER payment to letting agent. Rigid time limits with no reply service unless emergency of letting agent Incessant same texts on day in and day out from letting agents regarding said times - once is enough. However the owners of the property were lovely and very accommodating and actually let us stay later on the Monday despite letting agent insisting on 9am leaving which is far too early. 4pm is also very late to check in. It does not take 7 hours to clean a property!

  We had a fabulous week in The Hide Out.

  Peaceful location and ideal to explore the local villages and nature reserves. Had it been wet the owners taste in DVDs and books would have kept me happy, all my favourites. The lodge so spacious and well equipped plus extras, ie dish washer tablets, soaps etc. The decking area was lovely, plenty of seating and hammock was fun but the wooden garden furniture was tired and seats were cracked, covers dirty. The lake had dried up, which was a shame, no one’s fault, gave it a neglected air but would return for the peace and quiet and location.
