Cleanliness
Most guests found the cottage to be well-appointed, though one review mentioned the need for a better clean between stays, suggesting some inconsistency in cleanliness. The issue seems isolated rather than systemic.
Location
The location is consistently described as beautiful, peaceful, and idyllic, with guests appreciating the rural setting and proximity to nature and local attractions.
Comfort
The cottage is frequently described as comfortable and cosy, with a high standard of furnishings. One mention of a very soft main bed suggests a preference for firmer mattresses by some guests.
Facilities
Facilities like the swimming pool, tennis court, and stables are highlights, though there are comments about the need for better kitchen equipment and a plumbing issue that caused some disturbance.
Thoughtfulness
Guests mentioned a generous welcome pack and the accommodating nature of the host, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, future guests should consider this a delightful possibility rather than an expectation.

The beautiful market town of Framlingham is mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086) and has been known since Anglo Saxon times, when it consisted of several manors which William the Conqueror (1066-1087) presented to Roger Bigod. The town is of particular interest as it has a large castle and mere which was built between 1190 and 1210. The town is surrounded by lovely villages to explore and has two of the oldest working post boxes and one of Britain’s smallest houses, with the footprint measuring 6.1x2.2m! Today, the town offers a number of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and it is also home to Framlingham Summer Arts Festival.
