The old house is in a remote but perfect location. The owners could not have help us enough when we arrived and kept in touch for the duration of our stay to help us if we needed it. The house has everything you need home from home and is in a beautiful location. We had the best week which was needed after the recent times. Thank you and hopefully we’ll come back one day!

Fantastic family and pet friendly property. Ideal for family wanting relaxation and homely holiday in beautiful rural setting. Cottage equipped with all you need, including information about area for dining out and practical equipment to stay in. Would recommend to others.

Beautiful house, very well furnished and lovely grounds. Very remote with little to do in the local area. Excellent for a total unwind and relaxing holiday.

Fantastic location if you like the quiet life. We had a lovely welcome by the owner Colin who took his time to show us around and talk about the cottages history plus provide us with a welcome pack of cake and biscuits. Although in a rural area surrounded by farms & fields the town of Diss is only a fifteen minute drive away which has a lovely park and main street, it also has several supermarkets. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen, everything you need for a self catering holiday. The garden is huge and is fully enclosed, ideal for any size of dog. A huge bonus was being able to access the adjacent orchard and several fields which are part of the Suffolk common. Almost every day we were blessed with the sight of seeing wild deer roaming said fields. We will definitely be returning next year.

Great place in every detail, very quiet, beautiful and secure garden

Very pretty cottage in quiet surroundings with lovely gardens . Well equipped, though toaster a bit unpredictable and some larger towels would be nice. Very relaxing though a few bumps from low beams for taller people. All in all a great place to stay.

If you are wanting peace and tranquility and off lead walking with your dogs just outside your back gate, and if it is of no concern that it is roughly a 15 minutes round trip just to get the morning paper and fresh bread, then this beautiful cottage is an absolute must. Everything you could need has been thought of down to little boxes of tissues in bedrooms and lounge along with the latest magazines. There wasn’t a utensil we needed that wasn’t provided, and the welcome gifts were generous and just perfect for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage and hope to return.

Lovely comfortable place to stay in. We saw such a lot of wild life including an owl, hares and bats. Plenty of space for children and dogs and such a nice place to chill out. We didn't want to leave!

Lovely period listed cottage.Very spacious ,very quiet location. Brilliant enclosed garden great for pets. Fun to find first time! Well placed as a base to explore local area. One hour from Southwold and Walderswick. One hour from Sutton Hoo. Lovely surrounding villages and pubs. Easy walking straight from the door.

Awesome what a lovely peaceful holiday did not want to leave have already booked for 2020.

Our 3rd time at the Old House...It’s like being at home foot comfort..the 3 settees and the arm chair are all recliners,there’s an open working fire in the kitchen and sitting room..TV both rooms.. Well appointed kitchen.. Walks for the dogs straight from the door.. Knettishall Heath is a short drive .its a marvellous place for walking..acres of land.good paths,a streamfor the dogs to paddle in,wild ponies.. Although there are no shops in Mellis,Diss is good for shopping..3 supermarkets and a very pretty little town.. A short drive to some very good,very old pubs..really good food..highly recommend The Four Horseshoes..an 8 minute drive and well worth a visit..large car park..
