School Farm Cottages

We must start by saying how amazing our hosts were Claire and David could not have been more welcoming and helpful during our stay. (They live on site, in the farm house) We have stayed in many Airbnbs, and similar over the years but this place is by far the best equipped and the cleanest! There are four cottages, set in an L shaped terrace. The cottages are very well equipped, immaculately clean and furnished to a very high standard. Claire and David have clearly taken a lot of time and trouble to ensure that quality furnishings have been used and that the cottages are made to feel very welcoming and homely. We stayed in North Cottage and Swan Cottage in the Easter school holidays. These two have lockable interconnecting doors on the ground and first floors. North Cottage has a double room, a twin room upstairs, and a double sofa bed in the lounge. It has a toilet and shower upstairs. The kitchen/diner has an extendable table we sat nine round it comfortably. Swan Cottage has a double/twin and a toilet and bath (with shower over) upstairs. Downstairs there is a combined kitchen/lounge/diner. There is a sofa bed in the lounge area. In both cottages the stairs come down into the lounge. The equipment included full crockery/cutlery/glass sets, all the cooking utensils you could need, microwave, cooker, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, hair dryer, unlimited hot water, great central heating, board games, radios, TV, dvd player, ironing board, hoover and fast internet Wi-Fi. Our hosts had provided tea/coffee/sugar/milk, biscuits, juice, toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets and very kindly Easter Eggs for the three grandchildren. There is a separate shared laundry room with two washing machines and a dryer, washing powder and conditioner. There is also a large shared games room, with a pool table, table-football and table-tennis table (each cottage has its own set of bats and balls) the building also has its own toilet and kitchenette. In front of the cottages is a large gravel parking area, a charging point for electric vehicles, a fenced lake with seating, and a football pitch with goals! Behind the cottages is large fenced shared lawn area with tables and chairs for each cottage, and play equipment suitable for young children. (Just down the lane is the village park, with play equipment suitable for older children.) Also in the garden is a rabbit and free-range chickens and the children loved collecting the freshly laid eggs. Nearby is the town of Halesworth which has a large Co-op. (13 min drive) Southwold - lovely beach and town (30 min drive set satnav to go via Halesworth or youll go most of the way on single-track roads!) Old Hall Southwold great childrens play park and caf/restaurant. (27 min drive again go via Halesworth). Lots of great local walks, all carefully drawn out in the information pack in each cottage. School Farm Cottages are an amazing place to stay after our week there no one wanted to leave thoroughly recommended thank you Claire and David - we will definitely be back!

Beautiful cottages kept to a very high standard. The outside space is amazing with a games room, fishing lake, as well as a lovely rear garden with outside tables for each cottage and a football Pitch. This is our families second visit and I would highly recommend this great location to stay. Plus the owners are lovely and are always there if you need anything. Another great weekend, thank you.

We've just got back from the loveliest weekend at School Farm cottages. Our families hired 3 of the cottages and they were all so beautifully furnished. Claire and David asked about the kids / families and advised on which cottage would be best for which family and it all worked perfectly. The kids loved being just next door to each other! The grounds are just stunning and we really lucked out with the weather so we could really appreciate it all. The kids (and us!) had the best time playing in the gardens, playing football in the front fields, going to see the horses and chickens and of course in the games room! In total there were 10 of us (one being a very new baby and then 3 small kids). North cottage worked well for when we were all together, the table very comfortably sat the 9 of us and we could all sit comfortably in the lounge too. It really was a lovely weekend away, I hope to come back for another stay here!
