A lovely cottage in an excellent location to explore south Norfolk/Suffolk and the coast - with lots to see and do. The cottage and Eye have everything you need for a relaxing break in the country.
We had a wonderful week in Orange Grove. Excellent communications from owner with lots of extra information.
The cottage is spacious and cosy, in lovely location in the village. Lots in the area to explore. Would return again and highly recommend to anyone intending to stay.
The cottage was exceptionally clean and ell equipped. All amenities very close. Co op 20 yds ,pub 100yds. Great pubs/restaurants near by. Good base to explore Suffolk from.
We had a brilliant week at Eye. Really enjoyed the quiet, yet central location. Very well run village with lots of artisan food shops and beautiful walks. The Cottage is comfortable and specious with everything you need to have a great stay. Having the Co-op across the road is also brilliant.
We would thoroughly recommend this cottage - it's very well equipped, comfortable, and conveniently located in a pretty village. It's also in a good position for visiting various parts of Suffolk. The only issue we had that is worth considering when booking the cottage is parking. There is no dedicated parking and although previous tenants have apparently had no problem parking across the road from the cottage, we were not able to do this apart from once on the day we arrived. This wasn't a problem for us as we just parked around the corner, but might be an issue for some guests. This is the only reason we gave it 4 stars rather than 5.
Eye is a gorgeous location and the cottage is right in the middle of its most picturesque spot. There is a co-op just opposite (not noisey at all!) and the cottage itself is immaculately kept and like the tardis inside - deceptively big. Couldn't find a fault.
We had a lovely time at the cottage which had everything we needed. With the CoOp over the road an added bonus (not noisy). Very pleasant and highly recommended.
The Cottage was clean and had a homely feel. The downstairs rooms were of good proportions. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a bathroom which appeared to have been refitted recently as it was in immaculate order and had a good power shower. The sink is only intended for washing hands and cleaning teeth and the lack of a plug was not really conducive for wet shaving. Three rolls of toilet tissue were provided which was thoughtful. We found the bed (in the main bedroom) to be rather on the firm side. Although we didnât cook here, the kitchen seemed to have everything you need. Washing up liquid and brush were provided. Parking is on street and each time we managed to park almost opposite the cottage so no worries there. There is a small Co-op about 50 yards from the front door and another slightly larger Co-op in the centre of Eye which also boasts a fish and chip shop along with butchers, ironmongers, antique shop etc. Overall, a very good cottage for the price.
Easy to access. Well appointed - it had everything that my wife and I needed for a long weekend break. Parking on the road. Quiet. Very convenient for local shops and pubs. We would be delighted to stay here again.
Eye is very well located for exploring the region. The cottage is comfortable and very well appointed with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay.. A small hiccup with the access code was swiftly and efficiently resolved by our hostess.
Lovely weekend spent in spacious cottage. Good location for the village and exploring the local area.
Cottage was very clean with everything we needed for a weekend away.
Would visit again
Lovely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable holiday.
Lovely cottage, well equiped and very clean. Eye is a charming town with lots of history. The Queens Head pub is a very friendly place with good food.
A very enjoyable few days away.
Eye is a picturesque little village/town and the cottage is close to the centre. It has off-road parking, which was easy to find right outside the cottage, although there was a car-park close by. The actual cottage has been carefully extended and beautifully furnished, with an Ikea kitchen and a very tasteful bathroom and comfortable beds. Ii is hard to criticise the cottage but the only addition I would suggest would be a nest of coffee tables as there was no where to put your tea/coffee/wine/gin-and-tonic.
I would certainly recommend this cottage and it is certainly one of the nicest ones we've stayed in.
A beautiful cottage in a lovely location.
This cottage ticked all of the boxes.
The information pack was well thought out and contained everything you needed to know about the cottage and surrounding areas.
The easy secured access to the property is fantastic.... No need for worrying about losing keys!
We couldn't believe how spacious the cottage is, too big for just the two of us really.
The kitchen is fully equipped, the bed so comfy we didn't want to get up and we relaxed on the big sofa in front of the tv.
We had the most relaxing weekend and would highly recommend this cottage.
We had a great stay at this cottage. There was lots of room and everything we needed for our week. We especially loved the facilities in the pretty village - it even had a chocolatier! on top of a lovely bakers, food shops, lovely pubs and great takeaways. We couldn't of wanted more. Gorgeous.
Spacious , tastefully decorated , immaculately presented.
Kitchen well- equipped.
Property well located for sight-seeing and the late opening co-op opposite a definite boon
Owner left plenty of clear instructions and local information.
Exceptionally clean, comfortable well located accommodation
Cottage : Extremely clean, comfortable and well equipped. Whilst we didn't actually stay indoors for long it was great to be able to come home in the evening to very comfortable sofa and chair, a lovely dining room if you wanted to eat indoors and a very roomy kitchen with a range cooker and an American fridge freezer. Bed very comfortable and bath & shower modern and again exceptionally clean. There isn't a garden but this didn't matter as we were out and about and one evening we walked up to the Castle and sat there watching the brilliant sunset. As there are plenty of windows to open it wasn't hot and stuffy.
Location - Easy to park on the road on the other side of the road but there is a car park behind the Coop which I wouldn't have hesitated to leave the car in if necessary. Eye is well serviced with a good range of shops within walking distance - Coop opposite, turn left and there is a good deli & cafe, turn right & a PO and general stores another Coop, florist & greengrocer, hairdresser butchers, hardware etc. Didn't eat in the pub but went for a drink and saw the huge portions of food all of which was devoured by the diners - there is a beer garden in the back. Eye itself is less than an hour from Framlingham, Southwold and Debenham all of which are worth a day out to. The day we went to Southwold there was a monsoon but we still had wonderful fish & chips on the 2nd restaurant on the pier and when we returned to Eye it hadn't even rained!!
Communication - very good, easy to get into the property as supplied with a personal code so no worry about having to be there for a specific change over time which was emailed prior to our arrive. Despite being away herself Sarah emailed to check everything was ok with her phone number and to liaise about our departure.
Would I stay again? - a definite Yes!
A lovely cottage to base yourself for exploring Suffolk and the surrounds. Very clean and well appointed, a blind over the skylight in the master bedroom would be a good idea.
Other than that an excellent stay.

I live in Hertfordshire, England with my husband and two children. The cottage was refurbished as our second home and, as such, is fitted to an excellent standard. We bought the cottage after being frequent visitors to Eye for many years and used to spend much of our spare time there. My husband and I both work together in our family run business and sadly find that we have less and less spare time with the demands of our family and expanding business, so we've decided to let our cottage for others to enjoy it.
We've always loved Eye since our very first visit some twenty years back and it will always have a place deep in our hearts. We felt so at home in Suffolk that we even chose to get married in Eye some twelve years ago (despite all of our family and friends living in London and Herts). It's a fantastic base for exploring East Anglia and there are so very many interesting places to visit locally and further afield.
