Guests say
Pantiles is a well-received cottage in Suffolk, praised for its warmth, comfort, and beautiful grounds. Guests have enjoyed the amenities, including a notable bath in the main bedroom, and the property's suitability for events like weddings. While some guests found the location ideal for visiting nearby areas, others noted limitations for dog walking. The property's cleanliness and maintenance received positive remarks, though there were mixed feelings about the second bedroom and the restriction of garden access for pet owners.
The property is consistently described as clean and comfortable, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating high standards are maintained.
The location is central and ideal for visiting nearby towns, though some guests expressed concerns about nearby dangerous roads and limited walking paths for dogs.
Many guests found the property warm and cosy, particularly during the colder months. However, one review mentioned an uncomfortably small second bedroom, slightly lowering the score.
Facilities are generally praised, especially for cooking and entertaining. However, comments about a lack of eating area and the potential inconvenience of events in the adjacent barn affect the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
About this property
Indulge in a restful retreat at this beautifully decorated barn conversion. Enjoying spectacular rural vistas, gorgeous historic features and a sunny patio where you can wine and dine to your heart’s content, it’s ideal for couples, friends or small families wishing to explore the natural beauty of Suffolk’s coast and countryside.
Pale and neutral colours used throughout give this former farm building a dreamy feeling, and they contrast beautifully with rugged timber, tile and brick. The open-plan living space is pretty and inviting, and you can stretch out on the sofa while reading, listening to music, watching the TV or simply doing nothing. The U-shaped kitchen has all the equipment a cook could want, and you’ll dine at the breakfast bar which is illuminated by gorgeous pendant lights. There’s also desk space for anyone who has to keep up with admin. The shower room and bedrooms are on the ground floor, too – a delightful single room with a pitched ceiling and beautiful brass bed, and a wow-factor king-size which boasts a sofa, mirrored screen, French-style armoire and a free-standing bath. Relax in the sun on the south-facing patio, enjoying a coffee or a sundowner, or even taking a meal outside to enjoy as the sun sets.
Pantiles is part of a complex of barns including Bobby's barn, Dove Barn and Marsh Farmhouse.
From this idyllic rural area you can reach the charming town of Beccles in just 5 miles, where quirky independent shops mingle with excellent places to eat and drink. Feeling adventurous? Head to the coast at Covehithe, where the secluded beach is only accessible by foot or by bike. Southwold, 10 miles away, couldn’t be more different – fun, vibrant and buzzing, it’s a great day out, whether you want to partake in the amusements on the pier, try some local seafood or take a tour of its famous brewery.

It was lovely and warm, not cold at all. However we went during half term so it was quite busy with children. If you want a quiet stay choose a different time of year.

Pantilles Not suitable for a week holiday for three adults, 2nd bedroom a converted larder very cold, as we paid for our dog we were told not to use the gardens , only small patio with metal table and chairs, very happy there was not a wedding reception as we were right next to it.Also would have been nice to have a table and chaired to eat from. As we had booked a week for a dog walking week , we were shocked to find you cannot walk very far as both ways lead to a very dangerous road . So for these reason we left after three days , we have better walks in Brighton .
