A delightful return to East Suffolk

In our brief visit we enjoyed two concerts at Snape Maltings, visits to Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, and Orford for a wonderful fish lunch at Pinney's.Rubblestone Cottage was an ideal base and everything possible seemed to have been thought of to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Really relaxing stay, surrounded by green and birdsong.

The property is as described small but perfect for 4 people. Although it is in the middle of farm land it is reassuring to know there are neighbours in the main house. Was very impressed with all the little thoughtful touches eg the welcome sign and tea / coffee / biscuits basket, the cooking oil and salt amd people , thr cute little make up clothes and the auto lights on stairs and by loo. We stayed 4 nights and were exploring Suffolk but could have easily had a day or 3 just sitting sipping wine /tea on the outdoor table watching the landscape. All nicely decorated and got the balance of being homely while avoiding the OMG don't break that worry of some properties esp. with kids in tow. We found the bed a little smaller / shorter than we are used to but after the first night it was fine. Really impressed with the thought put into kitchen equipmemt etc as everything you could possibly want and more was there..We woyld defintely return if in area. Would suggest a slightly bigger sign at the turning and if having non UK quests some instructions for the shower as they are a real British thing. We had read moans

Peaceful and relaxing stay.

We stayed as a family of 4 with two kids aged 6 and 9. The location was perfect for us to reach areas we wanted to visit without having to drive more than 30 minutes. Southwold was a highlight and we enjoyed a delightful dinner at the Boarding House in Halesworth. Orford Quay was also brilliant and Caroline was so kind as to share a crabbing line and net so our boys could spend a morning crabbing on the quay. There was a day where we had poor weather but that didn’t dampen our spirits and we spent it playing board games and puzzles available in the cottage. An 8 minute drive got us into Saxmundham for a takeaway, and at the Pinch Cafe down the road you could pick up some delicious dessert pastries and coffee. The garden was very relaxing and we exercised here and played football when the sun came out. Communication with Caroline was excellent. We needed to adjust our stay due to work and was able to do this with ease. We can understand why there are so many repeat visitors! We hope to be one of them too. Thanks for the warm welcome Caroline. It was so lovely to spend time in such a beautiful part of the country and decompress from London life if only for a few days.

A little slice of tranquility

My family and I had the most wonderful stay for 2 nights. We wished it could have been longer. The house is lovely, quaint, clean and quiet. We really enjoyed the quietness of the area and lack of road noise. There is very little light pollution so the skies at night were spectacular. There are beautiful old trees and a fantastic meadow in front of the property teaming with butterflies. The owners are really lovely and couldn’t have done more to make our stay better.. thank you so much. We’ll be back!

Peaceful short stay

We stayed 2 nights in the cottage with our 2 children. We cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped with just the right amount of things you might need during your stay. The welcome basket of teas and biscuits etc is a lovely touch. The grounds are beautiful and very peaceful. We had a 2 year old with us so we requested a stair-gate for the top of the stairs which was provided. It’s not actually a gate but a piece of wood which fixes to the wall but it does the job. We brought our own bed guard with us which wasn’t the end of the world but would be nice if one could have been provided. Not a game changer though. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay here and will definitely look to stay again. Many thanks

Lovely stay near Minsmere

Really nice experience in booking and pre- information. The cottage is annexed to a main farm house and sits in the grounds of an old farm. It's really secluded and beautiful place to stay. It's really close to RSPB Minsmere where we spent much of our 3 day stay and close to Southwold which is a well worth spending time. The cottage is very clean, spacious and good amenities, I would highly recommend

A peaceful stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Rubblestone Cottage. The cottage was warm and comfortable, with everything we needed. A cosy living room with a window that looks over the meadow, which allows you to watch the visiting wildlife. Main bedroom was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare food and the owner provides a great list of pubs, restaurants and takeaways. The lighting through out is well placed and there are some strategically placed night lights that are really useful. The communication , before, during and after our visit was superb. Directions to the property in particular were very good. Nice to meet the owners during our stay as this doesnt seem to happen as often these days. Internet and phone signal were excellent. The peaceful location was perfect and yet close to Saxmundham and the coast. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

The property was perfect and exactly as described. Clean and comfortable. The location was beautiful and quiet, within good distance of local beaches. The town near by was about 10 minutes max drive and had everything we needed. The hosts communication and the information provided to us before our stay was exemplary. The host went over and above to go out of her way to help me with an issue I had (OF MY OWN CAUSING). Couldn't recommend more. I will definitely be returning with my family.

Getting away from it all . . . .

The property was perfect for our needs and set in beautiful surroundings with not a streetlight or siren around - no pollution of any kind. The sun shone on the patio every morning even on duller and windy days! The local town, a short drive away, had everything we wanted including a railway station. Lots of pretty villages in the surrounding area and everyone was very friendly.
