  Punch Cottage was overall very good, in a beautiful and quiet location.

  Very comfy beds and well equipped kitchen. Thank you for the milk, bread and cookies left for our arrival and for agreeing to allow us an 11am check out on the Sunday. There were a few things, which could be easily fixed, which let the property down as follows: mould on the wall in the master bedroom ensuite; the master bedroom door would not close completely; there was a missing hotwater tap top in the master bedroom ensuite, the net curtain in the master bedroom did not fit properly, it was too long; the sofas needed a little cleaning; on arrival we found half a toilet roll between the two bathrooms with only one full roll spare which for 4 people we considered was not enough. We would have appreciated a few spare rolls. All rooms would benefit from a deep clean and perhaps a fresh coat of paint. We would make a return visit subject to these concerns being addressed.

  Punch Cottage is a delightful and very well equipped cottage.

  We went with my sister and her husband and as the cottage has an en-suite and bathroom we had one each per couple. The day living accommodations are upstairs & open plan and very comfortable. The grounds were exceptional with a lake occupied by six swans, many ducks and a boat, together with gloriously well kept grounds. The Games Room was a bonus for us 'big kids' to expel some energy too. There are walks of medium or longer lengths designed for walking the dog. The location of the cottage is good for day trips out being half a mile from the A12, but it is also very quiet and little effected by the proximity. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised with our welcome 'pack' of milk, bread and scrummy cookies. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr & Mrs Blythe for facilitating our short break away in such lovely surroundings. Excellent !!

  Beautiful cottage, very clean and welcoming with perfect sized rooms. The way the kitchen and living/dining room was set up meant that none of us were cut off especially on Christmas day when there is lots going on in the kitchen. Parking was also a plus point for us, being a party of 5 we came in 3 different cars. There was plenty of parking on the property. The cottage is in a lovely village setting with Knodishall common a stroll away for lovely walks with the dog. Hosts made our Christmas getaway perfect by setting up a Christmas tree and decorations and a welcome card. We definitely recommended Stonehurst for a break and have already recommended to friends. It is not a place that will disappoint!

  The beds in the twin room were a little bit low but once in bed were exremely comfortable. The dining chairs were too low and in one case at least felt unsafe. Cutlery and crockery. the property is advetised as being for six people and there was six of everything, but in some cases, no spares so that if we wanted a snack between meals (and the hildren often did) we had to wash up rather than doing a daily turn in the dishwasher. Also, there were no spare refuse sacks. We are used to bagging gereral waste rather than putting it loose in the bin. Apart from these little niggles, the property was fine. We would certainly consider it for next year, although the location would not be our first choice.

  This is our second visit to the property.

  Easy parking on the street outside. House is very comfortable and spacious. Nice garden and, because we had glorious weather, great for a barbecue or two. The area is very quiet being on the outskirts of town overlooking the marshes. The town centre is 10 minutes walk away (aim for the church). Walberswick is a nice 1.5 mile easy walk. Two great pubs there. Take the path past the old railway station and keep heading straight until you get to the bridge. Also went out to Dunwich, which also has some good walks and another very good pub. Recommend staying in this property if you are in Southwold.
