From the minute we arrived we felt at home in this beautiful characterful cottage. The home made cake certainly helped (thanks Sue) & the welcome bottle of wine & milk was a nice touch. The communication throughout with the owners Richard & Sue was fantastic & made for a smooth arrival. The kitchen was a great space & renovated to a high standard with all amenities catered for. Loved the steps leading down from sitting room into kitchen which gave the space great character. The conservatory was also a fab extra space & quite the sun trap! We actually used this back entrance of the cottage (through conservatory) rather than the front door as it was easy access from car park & meant we could leave shoes in conservatory rather than traipsing through house (easier with teenage boys). My fave room however was the front sitting room with cosy log fire. All bedrooms of good sizes & was wonderful & quiet. Was lovely being so close to nature & hearing the owls in the early hours. If you want to explore the beautiful villages & coastline of Suffolk then you won’t get much better than this. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & highly recommend Meadow View. Thank you Richard & Sue for such a memorable stay at your cosy cottage.

We had a wonderful 4-day stay at this idyllic cottage. Richard and Sue were very responsive to any of our concerns (i.e. wifi connectivity), and Sue made us a delicious lemon cake! Would definitely stay there again!

Absolutely couldn't fault this place. Cottage was spotlessly clean. There was some milk and wine left for us and the owner even made us a cake. Plenty of cleaning products and all the other bits and kitchen utensils etc. you need in a home away from home. Rooms were good sizes and the kitchen / dining area looks out onto a lovely garden and is really light and airy. Our 2 year old told us it was just like the Goldilocks cottage and we couldn't have summed it up better if we tried. There was a high chair and travel cot available if needed and it has its own parking space which is really handy. Wifi worked a treat. Really lovely place and really lovely hosts.

Meadow view is decorated and furnished to a high standard. It's situated in a great location for travelling to all areas of Suffolk. The lean-to sunroom is an added bonus to relax in and watch the local wild life and sunset. Sue is a perfect host and communicated very quickly.

Sue and Richard could not have been more helpful and the location of Church View is great for exploring the Suffolk area. Lovely surprise to find a smashing lemon cake waiting for for us on arrival to enjoy with a cuppa. Lack of mobile phone signal within the cottage was fixed by switching to wifi calling, which worked a treat. A wonderful break from London life!

The cottage was lovely and very comfortable with everything you need. The garden and views were absolutely beautiful, it was lovely to sit in the conservatory first thing in the morning and at dusk. The village also has a great pub where the food and beer were excellent. Overall a great stay, I would highly recommend for families or couples>

Thank you

Hi Richard and Sue. Your cottage is lovely, as are the surroundings. I would add a couple of items for comfort, as you are asking; Peg hooks and hangers in the two front bedrooms as there are no wardrobes in these rooms. I moved the TV table to make a central coffee table in the lounge which we needed, so if it had a footstool or table here that would have been lovely. Matches would be handy for the fire (we got the logs and kindling then forgot the matches!) Thank you for a lovely restful stay.

I booked 4 Kingshill Cottage for a very special celebratory short break for my brother and I and my 80 year old parents. Our Mum was 80 the day after we arrived. It was perfect! The cottage was beautifully furnished, cleverly renovated and very clean and comfortable. Sue and Richard communicated promptly and efficiently all the way through our stay and were very gracious and accommodating when we locked ourselves out. (We are so very grateful for your polite forbearance) Sue left an exceptionally delicious homemade lemon cake and clearly from previous comments, this is a regular treat! We loved exploring the surrounding area and the cottage is well positioned for this. We would love to return to Meadow View and cannot speak highly enough of every aspect of our stay. Thank you.

Beautiful cottage well placed for exploring the Suffolk countryside and coast.

We so enjoyed our stay at this beautifully renovated, cosy, characterful cottage in Earl Soham. Stunning walks and bike rides from the doorstep including a lovely walk through fields and woods to Huttons in Earl Soham for coffee and a bacon butty breakfast on the first morning. Cycled to the Bell at Cretingham for lunch. Our first time to Suffolk and this particular area was like stepping back in time - gently rolling fields, friendly locals, a slower pace of life and characterful Suffolk pink farm houses and cottages around every corner. Walked from Dunwich along the coast to Walberswick and Southwold one day, and returned through the woods and countryside to Dunwich having stopped for very good chips and the infamous Suffolk Adnams Cider in the garden of the Bell Inn at Walberswick. Just perfect! Loved the board walk from Snape towards Orford and from there through the marshes to the sea. Would love to return to Snape when the concerts begin again. We were overall so impressed with the area - and this cottage was the perfect base. Lit the woodburning stove in the evening and relaxed over supper and a glass of wine after a busy day cycling, walking and exploring this beautiful area. Would highly recommend and will definitely return! Thank you to Sue and Richard for your hospitality and creating such a relaxing space to enjoy a few days away.

A very nice property in an excellent location to get to Aldeburgh or Thorpeness etc. Very clean and well laid out, but the garden is not fenced, so not ideal for letting pets out or young children, unsupervised. The owners gave us a superb home made cake and a bottle of wine, which were much appreciated. The host also, kindly, came over to fix a problem we were having with the internet. All in all we had a very nice stay there and would happily recommend it to others.

A sympathetic restoration of a beautiful cottage. Quality modern fittings complemented its period features. Superb views from the bedroom windows, including for us, some spectacular sunsets. Communication with the owners Richard and Sue was excellent and enhanced our stay in a property which was charming, well-appointed and ideally located for visiting inland and coastal Suffolk.

wonderful break

We had a wonderful short break in this cosy, comfortable cottage, situated on the edge of the pretty village of Earl Soham. We couldn't fault the property and its owners were attentive and delightful. The cottage was spotless, well equipped, well presented and the neighbours were friendly. There were lovely views over farmland front and back. The only slight disadvantage for us was that the garden isn't very private and the garden doesn't actually look over fields itself which I thought it did from the photos. This is the reason I have given this 4 stars, otherwise I would have given 5.
