What a wonderful place to stay with very lovely and accommodating hosts. We spent a long weekend here with young children where could go swimming whenever we wanted and the owners let my children bottle feed the lambs. A perfect stay in the countryside with many placed to visit locally. Highly recommend
Beautiful cottage and gardens. Property had everything we needed for a weeks stay .The indoor swimming pool was a lovely bonus and we enjoyed the cats, kittens and feeding the chickens. The hosts were just great, all in all a perfect weeks stay.
Beautiful property and hosts. Weather was awful but swimming pool helps with the wet days. Sheep and chickens to feed. Lovely walk to Cretingham Bell and can highly recommend prawn sandwich on granary. Pauline & Norman are lovely non intrusive hosts who are only too willing to help if required. Property well stocked with cooking equipment and bedding and towels an added bonus.
Really nice house. Has everything you require and more. The pool was a really nice addition.
Temperature of the pool was a little cooler than expected due to the issue with boiler other than that a really nice stay.
Thank you
Beautiful period property with stunning views of the countryside. We enjoyed a very relaxing week here, in the comfort of spacious, well decorated rooms and we made the most of the wood burner on cooler evenings. Our teenage boys loved the private pool and we all enjoyed the garden and nearby meadow, where our puppy was able to run freely. Everything was provided for a comfortable stay, and cleaned to the highest standard. Set in a beautiful location, this peaceful property is a great base from which to explore the English countryside.
Friendly sociable hosts who provided comprehensive directions to the property, and a very good introduction to the property and its surrounding gardens and nearby private swimming pool. Authentic old property with modern fittings, large rooms although the ensuite facilities were a little compact to fit in the space between beams etc. The swimming pool was modern and available any reasonable time. The shower facilities next to the pool were excellent. Plenty of nature in the grounds, flowers, fruit trees etc and sheep, chickens to be fed, and lots of cats and kittens. Altogether a fabulous experience for the 10 nights, it was great to wake up to countryside views every morning. Thank you Pauline and Norman
First of all, the first impression was Pauline herself who was very welcoming & showed us around the cotttage & how things worked. The Yew tree cottage is a very lovely cottage with it's own swimming pool, garden area, pond with fishes, cats running around, a swing, it's barn area, some sheep & chickens and obviously the nice owners. My kids 8 & 4 year old thoroughly loved their time whilst there especially swimming in the pool and when Pauline showed us around the lamb & the chickens. The inside of the cottage has it's original features but brilliantly modernised where you won't miss the comfort of a modern home. Overall, the owners are very nice people and caring. The cottage is superb. We had a splendid family time. I would recommend this cottage to anyone without any hesitation.
The fire was lovely very warm, the pool was clean and well looked after. The host was kind and friendly and we met her sheep, chickens and cats and daughters dog. She made us feel welcome
Very quiet with a beautiful garden setting. The cottage was very charming. My wife and I stayed here for three nights while visiting ancestral sites in the vicinity. Pauline and Norman were very kind.

A gorgeous period cottage that felt home from home. It is fully equipped and the swimming pool is an added bonus.Pauline and Norman are wonderful, they give you your privacy but are on hand if you need anything.Thank you Pauline and Norman for your wonderful hospitality and the drinks and snacks by your pond was a lovely surprise.If we come back to Suffolk, we will definitely stay here again.
Just what we needed after Christmas. Pauline and Norman are very friendly. The pool was a great bonus as others have said. Location is lovely and so quiet. Lots of fantastic dog walks, hikes, bike rides and country pubs. The house was very cosey and we loved the fire. Would stay again!
There is nothing to fault with this property. From Paulineâs warm welcome with fresh eggs and milk in the fridge, beautiful interior, wonderful wood burner and cosy feel weâve had the best pre-Christmas break.
The cottage is extremely spacious and perfectly decorated. The kitchen has everything you could need. The indoor pool is fabulous and there are even pool towels ready.
We will definitely come again. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!
A lovely break in Suffolk. The cottage was lovely and had real charm. There was a lot to keep out three year old occupied and we enjoyed using it as a base to explore Suffolk! Thank you for Pauline and Norman!
What a fantastic find this was, everything was perfect from the moment we booked. The cottage was charming, Pauline and Norman such welcoming hosts and a great location for exploring Suffolk.
And to top it all off, a surprise proposal by the cottageâs open fiređ
Bought Yew Tree Cottage 6 years ago and it forms half the house in which we have lived since 1979. We completely refurbished Yew Tree Cottage as a fully equipped holiday home. Now semi retired and keep a small holding with sheep and chickens. Someone should be around most of the time to help with queries/directions etc.
Yew Tree Cottage is in a quiet rural location with views over the meadows and farmland. The cottage is timber framed with many original features but fully equipped kitchen with all mod cons. Gas fired central heating with underfloor heating in the kitchen and a wood burner in the lounge to keep you cosy no matter what the weather!
