What do our customers think about a break in Suffolk?

"A small quirky glamping site in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. The yurt we stayed in was lovely and enough room for a family of 4. We made use of the jungle shower and the pizza oven!

Beds were really comfy and wood burner was great. All the solar powered fairy lights and candle lanterns provided gave it a really magical feel.

Location very private and there was the added bonus of electrical charging points in the toilet area for your devices."

Review for Alde Garden

"The Granary certainly fulfilled our expectations. A wonderful, clean comfortable, cosy cottage with so many extra little treats for a truly warm welcome. We visited Shingle Street, Dunwich and Thorpeness. Lovely meal out at the Stowupland Crown and Cretingham Bell. Thank you for our wonderful break."
