There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score for this category.
The location is frequently described as beautiful and peaceful, perfect for a quiet retreat and exploring Suffolk. Its rural setting and proximity to local attractions like Southwold and Dunwich Heath are appreciated by guests.
Guests find the cottage comfortable and relaxing, with a warm atmosphere and cosy features such as a woodburner and underfloor heating. The comfortable beds and accessibility for less mobile guests are also highlighted.
The property is well-equipped with a store cupboard, chest freezer, BBQ, trampoline, and play equipment. The presence of farm animals adds to the enjoyment. However, the distance from amenities and the advice to disregard sat nav instructions suggest some room for improvement.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident through welcome gifts like cake, Easter Eggs, and the opportunity to interact with farm animals. While such gestures are highly appreciated, guests should note that these are personal touches and may vary with each stay.

Mrs Tiller
We had a wonderful time at Shepherd's Watch. It was great to be on a farm and wake up every morning to see the hens and sheep. We also had a good friend in the peacock and her chicks. The cottage was perfect for our needs and really cosy. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would definitely come back in the future.

A very comfortable stay, cannot fault property or care given by the owner. Nothing too much trouble. One word of advise driving down Capps lane … turn off your sat nav and follow written instructions as mine said turn right … please don’t …
