Burgates Old Rectory Cottage Reviews

Christelle

An absolute gem of of a place. This was our 6th visit and we have already booked next year. Great location with so many walks available either directly from the property or a very short drive away.

Dawn

Very dog friendly with good walks. Several small personal touchs such as chocolate brownies, milk, bread etc very much appreciated.

Emma

Beautiful Lodge one of the best dog friendly lodges we have stayed in! Spacious, modern, clean and in a beautiful location

Stewart

Had a week break here with another couple and it ticked every box. Spotless accomodation, 2 good sized bedrooms with comfortable beds. The ensuite and bathroom were excellent, great showers in both. Kitchen area was well equiped with top quality utensils and had everything you should need. The lounge area had everything for a comfortable stay, it hRead moreas a mini library and boardgames along with smart TV. Relaxing in the hot tub in the evening watching the stars was one of the highlights. 5 star Hide

Robert

Our 4th time staying at this beautiful cottage! I think that says it all! Great location, cottage has everything you need and the hot tub is a bonus and very much enjoyed! Lovely owners too, thank you, best regards Rob, Kirsty and Violet x

Sarah

A little gem,

Laura

Fantastic place - super clean, great amenities, lovely hosts, so doggie friendly. Lovely little touches by the hosts really make this place stand out such as the brownies, fresh flowers, dog treats & bowls, crisps, bread, fizz, milk and butter. Dont change a thing as youre doing an amazing job at an affordable price. 10/10!

Stefan

Had such a fantastic time at the Old Rectory this August. Katie and family really made our stay an absolute pleasure, and we appreciate how much time and attention has gone into property. Perfect for our family of four (plus dog). Will be booking again in the near future :)

Kathryn

Beautiful cottage & spotlessly clean on arrival. Lovely food essentials,Prosecco & delicious chocolate brownies all left for our arrival. Owners live on site & very helpful with local knowledge.

Judith

By far the best cottage we have stayed in and worthy of its 5 star rating. Everything had been thought of and we were welcomed with Prosecco and delicious home made brownies. The location is stunning and we walked through miles of beautiful countryside directly from the property. The secure garden was perfect for our cocker spaniel. Flatford Mill, Lavenham and Southwold all lovely places to visit and nearby Thornham Walks were wonderful (excellent cafe). We cant wait to return.

Andrew

Excellent accommodation in a superb setting. Ideal base to explore the joys of glorious Suffolk. Highly recommended

Georgia

This was my second time staying at Burgate's Old Rectory Cottage. It is the perfect place to wind down and relax. With beautiful rural views, luxurious surroundings and a fabulous hot tub - what more could you want! We all had a wonderful week including JR (dog) who loved looking out and laying in the sunshine. The owners are both lovely, extremely discreet but around if needed. There was nothing we would want to have changed, apart from maybe the weather and staying longer next time.

Laura

Beautiful. Spotless and well maintained! Lovely hosts and the accommodation is kept at an extremely high standard. Peaceful, quiet countryside and had local amenities in town. Been here before and will 100% be back! The paddock at the side is an absolute gem - great for the dog to play and run off lead but safe. Beds are super comfy, kitchen has ev ery utensil you need, hot tub is cleaned and checked, parking secure, really safe and the nicest hosts you could ask for.the place is perfect!

David

Fabulous accomodation in a very peaceful setting - the ideal place to get away from it all and enjoy nature (as we've just done for the second time). Katie and Kevin have done a brilliant job with the property and are the perfect hosts. We cannot recommend staying here highly enough!

Michelle

This was our 2nd visit and it was just as good as the 1st. This is a good base for exploring. Some excellent dog friendly pubs a short drive away. The hot tub is perfect for star gazing. Deer and Hare play outside the cottage every morning. Spacious, welcoming and equipped with everything you need, even games and books. Would highly recommend. We w ere sad to leave. Thanks Kevin & Katie.

Mark

Really the only words are that is all you can want for from a cottage holiday

Christelle

The fact that we have stayed at this cottage 5 times in 6 years, and have already booked for next year. says a lot! Everything about the old Rectory is perfect; its location, views, tranquillity, dcor, cleanliness. The hot tub is fantastic! Everything you would want in terms of tech and mod-con is there. To top it up, the welcoming brownies, which are just sublime!

Simon

We had a lovely weekend in this amazing property. It was spotless and warm on arrival. The owners leave a great mix of welcome bits including delicious brownies. It was our second visit and we will definitely be back.

Stephanie

Had a wonderful week, very comfortable facilities and really enjoyed the hot tub and wood burner.

Julie

The Old Rectory is STUNNING, it is very well equipped with everything that you could need, it was lovely & warm too. HUGE separate walk in showers in both bathrooms along with huge baths. Beds were very comfy. The home made brownies were to die for!!!!!! Parking is great and right outside the property. Also lovely countryside walks from your door & only an hours drive to the coast. Kevin & Katie were lovely hosts and we will definitely be returning in the future. Best wishes Stuart & Jules x

Robert

Fantastic property, our third visit and weve booked for next year. All you could want from a holiday cottage. Our favourite holiday home

Christine

Beautiful property that has everything, wonderful location with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside. Slide the large patio doors back to bring the outside in. Katie and Kevin have thought of everything. If you think it looks good in the photos wait till you get there, its even better. Crisp bedding on comfy beds, fluffy towels and hot tu b towels. Beautifully furnished throughout. The kitchens has everything. Relax in the hot tub and enjoy the log burner. Best place weve stayed in. X

This cottage has to be the best we have ever stayed at. And we have stayed at many. Its fully equipped with everything you need. Its so clean throughout. The beds are exceptionally comfy. The bathrooms are beautiful and huge. The cottage is so peaceful. The owners Katie and Kevin are very welcoming, but dont intrude. They leave you a lovely welcomi ng pack. If you want a cottage thats outstanding, this is the one to choose.

My sisters and I have the most wonderful long weekend away together staying here. Katie and Kevin have thought of it all and weve never felt so seamlessly part of the rental were staying in. If youre on the fence, jump fully into staying at this wonderful spot. :)

Stephen

We were delighted with the welcome and facilities upon arrival. The property is extremely well presented, with amazing views and facilities including very comfortable beds.. This was a relaxing holiday for 4 nights and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a rural setting but near enough to larger towns including dog friendly beaches.

Alexandra

Fantastic property and such helpful hosts on hand whenever needed, have already booked for next year, cant recommend this property enough

Michelle

A great place to unwind and do as much or as little as you want. Fantastic welcome from the hosts with just the right amount of communication throughout the stay. The hot tub is a great way to start and end the day with views over the countryside. Plenty of books, games and puzzles to keep you entertained and a great set of binoculars to view the d eer, birds and hares. A great base for surrounding towns with many interesting shops and walks. We loved our stay and was so sad to leave.

Karen

Had a wonderful break away from it all - beautiful views, dog friendly and thoughtful hospitality. Appreciated lots of little touches that made me feel welcome right from the start, and became firm friends with the hot tub! Only an hour from the coast making it convenient to explore a little, but was just as happy to stay in and enjoy the comfort o f all the cottage has to offer. Really appreciated how clean and well kept it was. Big double thumbs up from me!

Iain

Really nice cottage in lovely quiet location

You can discover a whole wild world of animals with over 1000 different animals from around the world. You will probably want to try and spend the whole day here so you don's miss out on anything.

This amazing owl sanctuary located in the Stowmarket area of Suffolk should be high on your list of places to visit in the area. The attraction is also a registered charity and carries out important work in the care & rehabilitation of owls from the region. The sanctuary also raises awareness of owl conservation throughout the UK. Between April and the end of September there are two superb flying displays each day so you should try and make your visit coincide with one of these displays if you can.

Melsop Farm Park - NR20 3DT

about 16 Miles

We love this attraction in Scoulton, Norfolk with a great collection of animals. Children and adults alike have the chance to get hands on with the animals in the special handling areas. On rainy days there is always the indoor play area for the little ones and when it's time for a bite to eat the cafe on the farm is open all day selling drinks and snacks. Hot food is available over lunch times.

Africa Alive is one of Suffolk's largest attractions and one of the most popular in the whole of the UK. The Africa themed park is very unique and gives visitors the chance to see some amazing creatures in a habitat which is as close to nature as possible. The park can be explored by car and on foot and Hyenas and Giraffes are just some of the animals you will encounter as you make your way around the park. Watch out for the lightning fast Cheetahs and keep your eyes peeled to spot the more reclusive creatures. During a day at Africa Alive there will be plenty of shows and educational talks taking place and if the weather turns then the indoor Adventure Play Ground comes in very handy. The site also has a well stocked Gift Shop and a Discovery Centre.

Bewilderwood - NR12 8JW

about 29 Miles

Bewilderwood is a fun day out for the whole family located in the Wroxham area of Norfolk. This imaginative adventure park has won awards and we think kids especially will love the characters and the magical tree houses.

This place is also the setting for the book 'A Boggle at BeWILDerwood', by local children's author Tom Blofeld.
