Amazing Peaceful Stay / Oct 2024
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We’d love to thank Andrea and James for our lovely stay. We was recommended by friends and it did not disappoint! We stayed In the Shepard's hut and it was so homely and just what we needed after a busy year! We loved the fire and how cosy and warm it got! Our Bertie loved the outdoors and playing fetch on the grass.
Bunkers Hill Farm Byre Cottage / Oct 2024
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We stayed in Byre Cottage for six days which is so homely and in fabulous grounds with everything you could wish.All the Suffolk coast is so close and we had many days in Southwold down to Orford buying the local food and taking it home to eat in a lovely well equipped kitchen.The local pub is so friendly and does excellent food if you don’t want to cook at home.The welcome produce provided by Andrea was a lovely surprise and much appreciated. Charlythe four legged guest was very sad to leave as she was able to out of the door and have a large field to romp in.
Country escape / SEP 2024
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Lovely place. We had a few nights in the Byre which was very comfortable. Well located for the coast. Also for Helmingham Hall, if you like a good garden. Great pub 20 minutes’ walk away across the fields - made for an idyllic summer evening stroll with the dogs. Our kids have grown up now but years ago they would have loved all the outdoor space. Lots of footpaths nearby, great for exploring the countryside.
Fantastic stay at The Stables / AUG 2024
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Gorgeous setting in the Suffolk countryside just a 15min drive to the beach and the pretty little seaside village of Southwold.The accomodation was clean, well equipped and spacious even for a family of 5 with a baby and 2 dogs. The grounds were beautiful with plenty of space for the dogs and kids to have a run about. It was lovely and peaceful (when the kids were in bed at least).The owners left a lovely little welcome hamper with all the essentials and some scrummy local treats.Great location for exploring both Suffolk and neighbouring Norfolk. Would definatly visit again! Loved it!

What a place! / JUL 2024
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful farm. We had the most brilliant time in Woodpecker shepherd's hut to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. It was much more spacious than we imagined and it was equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor kitchen was ideal and the proper bathrooms above the cart lodge were an added luxury. We had a great walk in the surrounding fields and the sunsets were stunning. We would love to stay again!
Relaxing Oasis / JUL 2024
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
I cannot recommend this property enough for a relaxing break away.I stayed here with my husband and 2 small dogs and it was perfect.Lots of green space for the dogs to run around safely, and a lovely private outdoor space to dine or relax outdoors.Inside was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed.It is in a great location between Southwold and Aldeburgh both of which we wanted to be close to. This is my second visit and we will be back!!

Idyllic, peaceful weekend away / JUN 2024
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We stayed at Bunkers Hill Farm in Woodpecker shepherd’s hut in June 2024 and had a lovely weekend. The site is well located in the village, within walking distance to the Queens Head pub.The shepherd’s huts have an outdoor kitchen facility which is very well equipped with sink and gas hob, as well as bbqs and a fire pit for each hut. Internally the hut was a in good condition, and tidy with a very comfy bed.The site has lovely walks around the grounds and is really well maintained.There is a shower block and toilets above the cart lodge as well as composting toilets by the huts.We had such a lovely time and are already planning when we can come back!Thank you to Andrea and James for their hospitality and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
A extremely quiet, relaxing 5 star stay / MAY 2024
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The Byre is a super place to stay, so quiet and immaculate in every way. It catered for all our needs and the welcome pack was lovely. We had a delightful week there and loved Suffolk. We have stayed in many places in UK and this was one of the best. Highly recommended. We hope to come back at some point.
