The majority of guests found the beds and seating very comfortable, contributing to a homely experience, although one review mentioned the beds were not supportive, slightly lowering the score.

Wow! What an amazing place to stay. Fantastic location it was lovely to watch the pheasants strutting round the garden in the mornings while we were having breakfast. Really comfortable beds, powerful showers with loads of hot water. Lots of comfy places to sit and enjoy the stove, we lit it to enjoy the fire, not because it was cold the cottage was lovely and warm. Fabulous accommodation 20/10 everything was exceptional. I never cook on holiday but if I did this kitchen had everything you could possibly need, plus some. Would I recommend coming here. No. I want to keep it a secret so I can have it all to myself. Seriously Walcott House Stables is probably the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in, and we've stayed in loads, it is everything you need, peaceful, clean and very comfortable. The Christmas decorations were a bonus and very tasteful.

This was a fantastic cottage, great for going out for days around Suffolk and Norfolk. Everything you could want for a great break in the country. Very homely, and well equipped with everything you could need, comfortable beds, and 2 ensuite bedrooms. Loved our week here, and we travelled just over an hour to the numerous National Trust houses, and Sandringham in the north, and Southwold in the west.
