My wife and I took our two grandsons to Sutton Hoo for their half term break. The boys found the accommodation met all their needs with plenty of space outside to play their ball games. The facilities were excellent and would be ideal for anyone having an extended stay. In the area there was much to find for our lively grandchildren plus Sutton Hoo just five minutes up the drive. Would almost certainly visit again as a couple.
From being a young teenager Iâd always wanted to visit Sutton Hoo. Now in my 80th year and with mobility problems, Iâve achieved my ambition. Shearerâs cottage was everything we could have wished for. Helen, our host, was friendly, helpful provided us with Additional furniture to take into account my particular needs.Being so near to the NT entrance, I was able to have several visits as we were so close to the site. Thank you!
The cottage is set in peaceful wooded location, it has lots of space and an enclosed outside area which was perfect for our pup. There is lots near by such as a gastro pub, unruly pig, lots of lovely walks, nearby fishing and golf too. Perfect for a UK get away so much so we have visted twice in 3 months and look forward to visiting again soon.
A lovely relaxing stay, which was just what we needed. Very comfortably beds and well equipped cottage. Good location for the surrounding area. Our dog enjoyed it too.
Shearer's cottage has proved to be the perfect base, it was so comfortable, particularly the beds.
And there was everything we could need to cater for ourselves.
The copses and garden that surround are filled with birdsong too. So utter bliss.
Lovely time, as before, clean and tidy with nice complementary bottle of wine and milk
Would have been nice if the small garden lawn had been mowed as on presentation looks nice plus makes it easier with having small dogs to clear up after
Been twice now, lovely accommodation, clean, warm and tidy - everything you need and more, like home to home. Very peaceful and owners are delightful, canât fault it at all, deserves five đ âs
We stayed in this lovely rental for a short stay. It was easy to find, the owners were helpful and the interior was superb - really comfortable and well maintained, with great appliances and lovely touches such as soap. The welcome pack was most welcome! Lovely part of the country and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, despite the 'big' storm coming along at the end!
Had a lovely stay at Shearers cottage, great location and smooth check in. Thank you Helen for checking in on us and for the wonderful welcome of a bottle of wine and milk in the fridge on arrival. Definitely recommend to friends and family. Thanks again.
My name is Helen Shand and I and my husband Garrow bought Castle Farm in 1987. We are from suffolk farming stock and wanted our four children to have plenty of space to play in safety. Shearers cottage was at that time an old sheep shearing shed in our front garden and we felt it would make an ideal holiday cottage. That was 24 years ago and now Shearers Cottage has been extended and re-furbished to a very high standard. We are therefore on hand if our guests need anything.
We bought Castle Farm, a 50 acre farm, to have more space for Garrow's contracting business and for our children to have plenty of space for horses, cars, bikes and loads of fun! We love this part of Suffolk as there is so much to do, the varied countryside, with woods, beautiful coastline and wide open spaces to explore, has something for everyone.
