Evans & Bonds families
We have all really enjoyed our stay here. Such a beautiful, comfortable home. The beds were very comfy, loved watching the stars and satellites through the sky lights in main bedroom. We loved Lavenham & Sutton Hoo. Would definitely return here.

We loved it here! Very comfy stay and we had a great time using the garden for ball games. We thought the children's farm trail at Hallow Trees was wonderful and would also recommend Framlingham Castle and horse riding at Twinstead Riding School. We hope to return!
