  I had a wonderful 28-day stay in this beautifully set and thoughtfully designed property. It had absolutely everything you could need for a comfortable, relaxing break. One of my favourite daily rituals was watching the sunrise at 6.30am, coffee in hand, as the frosty morning mist lifted to the sound of birdsong – pretty special (see video).It was incredibly peaceful – the perfect place to focus and get work done, and relax after a stressful period.The shower pressure was brilliant, the bed super comfortable, and the whole place was spotless. I loved lighting the stove burner while cooking a Sunday roast, listening to a favourite podcast as pheasants and rabbits foraged on the front lawn. The blossom tree in the cottage garden was just coming into full bloom while I was there which was an unexpected joy.Jessica and Peter were fantastic hosts, and Lucy the cleaner did a great job each week – the fresh flowers she left were a thoughtful, welcoming detail.There are stunning walks from the doorstep, and Sudbury is only a short drive away. I genuinely can’t think of a single negative… other than wishing I could have stayed longer!A big thank you for making my stay so seamless and comfortable.

  This property is exceptional. It is located in Little Henny, a very small village right in the beautiful,bucolic Essex countryside. The cottage has a small, tastefully landscaped garden. There is a large forested area that starts at the bottom of the garden. There are a several country hikes that start near the cottage.The interior of the cottage is modern, clean and spacious. Everything is new, and , again , tastefully chosen. The bathroom has a clawed bathtub , and a new, modern shower. The bedroom is located on the upper floor, and is comfortable and bright. All of the appliances and kitchenware are high quality. The host Jessica was pleasant to interact with, and and efficiant in responses. Based on my experience with similar rentals, this place is a bargain and I highly recommend it.

  We loved the cottage. It was bright and perfectly furnished and very comfortable. We loved the wall -charging torches and have ordered some to have at home. We appreciated having a bath and a walk in shower. We weren't sure how to access the wifi and the link answered our phone query. We felt the key placement was not easy for oldies like us and had we arrived in the dark, it would have been very difficult to access. The height of the hood over the hob meant that we bumped our heads and felt that was a bit dangerous. But neither the key placement nor the hood level spoiled our holiday in any way. The location was perfection for us. We loved being in easy access to so many towns and villages and houses of interest.

  We had a great stay at The Granary.

  We are originally from the area, so were staying to visit family and friends locally. The accommodation was wonderful, with everything we required for a comfortable stay. The grounds were stunning, and there were plenty of options for walking our little dog right from the doorstep. Alice, the owner, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The games room was a great feature, and we enjoyed playing pool and table tennis during our stay. We were a little early for the pool to be open - but hopefully next time! We will definitely be back when we are next visiting Suffolk. All in all a fabulous location, great cottage and host, excellent facilities and would highly recommend.

  I enjoyed my stay at Vine Cottage, The place was warm and had everything I needed to be comfortable.

  I didn't want to go home. I've been trying to arrange to come back in December. The owners (Dan and Juliet) always have the best interests of the guests at heart and are always on call if I need anything, even if it isn't house-related. Dan was so kind to give me helpful advice on my car whilst I had engine trouble. The whole week was a magical stay and I'm so glad to have visited such a wonderful village. The people are so welcoming. I would highly recommend staying at Vine Cottage, it's a good price, nice and private for a peaceful getaway. Thank you, Dan and Julliette, Hope to see you again very soon. :)
