The hot tub was definitely a highlight and the welcome pack of goodies was delicious. Julie and Mike were brilliant! We would have no hesitation recommending!

My wife and I throughly enjoyed our stay. The welcome we received from Mike & Julie made us feel at home immediately. A thorough tour of the property was given to us along with detailed explanations of the main facilities. The owners were always happy to help whenever needed. A five star cottage , strongly recommended.

Lovely property hosted by two excellent owners. Hot tub a real treat!

We had a fantastic weeks holiday. Perfect accommodation, very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Mike and Julie were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Welcome pack and hot tub were an added bonus. Only wish we could have stayed longer!

My partner and I had a lovely break at the red brick retreat! I would recommend 1000 times. Mike and Julie showed us around the beautiful property and made us feel very welcome with some lovely cakes, Prosecco and other goodies. It was a very relaxing retreat and the hot tub was amazing! I will definitely be booking to stay again. Lots of local shops! The only downside is the chickens on site did wake us up a few times in the early hours. Overall I highly recommend!

Perfect little getaway. Really relaxing area and the hosts were amazing. Welcome package on arrival added that extra touch. Such a peaceful few nights away!

An absolutely perfect property to unwind and relax in, with attention to detail here being 5. Hot tub was tested daily and was spotlessly clean every day, as was the property when we arrived. Beautiful welcome pack to include the essentials needed for your immediate needs along with a lovely home made cake. The hosts were wonderful and friendly, but did not encroach on your privacy at all. Cant wait to return later this year. Thank you

Lovely hosts, welcome package was amazing, everything in accommodation was excellent quality. Would highly recommend

An excellent little retreat a great place to unwind just what the doctor ordered. Mike and Julie are very nice people friendly, helpful and welcoming in every way they made our stay just wonderfulso much so we would definitely go again

The property was excellent , clean ,well equipped , everything was provided that you would need for you stay , the welcome pack was the best we have ever had . The hot tub was super , well maintained spotlessly clean .

The retreat was very well equipped with all mod cons , lovely welcome pack , incl fresh eggs from their free range chickens ,very friendly and attentive owners if needed , hot tub lovely for a relax . All adds up to a relaxing break

Red Brick Retreat is an outstanding cottage where the hosts Mike and Julie made us feel extremely welcome. The location coupled with the accommodation made our short stay most enjoyable. The cottage itself has everything you would want with the added bonus of a private Hot tub. This was only our second stay at a Sykes Cottage but I can assure the reader my wife and I will be using Sykescottages again.

Lizzie

The place was absolutely spotless and you can see the care put into it. ALL the little details really made it, such as, cake, eggs, butter, milk ect there waiting for us, robes, plenty of towels, skimmer for hottub and more. We were welcomed with a friendly Mike who wasn't in a rush to show us around and make sure we were happy with everything. Even though Mike and Julie's property, along with a neighbours, was just behind us, you completely forgot they were there as you rarely saw anyone and had complete privacy in the back gardenhottub where you are encased in your own little sanctuary with all mod cons. The cleanliness was top notch, even the hottub looked like it was brand new and wasn't overfilled with chemicals. If you are after a couples getaway, this is definitely the place to go. Thank you so much

Amazing place to stay. Lovely friendly owners. Beautiful property with so much attention to detail. Perfect place for a mini break. Loved it.

Hayley

The perfect retreat. The owners have thought of everything for guests comfort. A great location to explore the surrounding areas. Would highly recommend this property and we hope to return very soon

Caitlin

We were welcomed from the moment we arrived and given a tour of the property which was helpful. The owners gave us little welcome bits like wine, Prosecco, homemade cakes, bread, eggs, milk etc. The property was perfectly clean throughout and was modernised which was a surprise. The only issues were that because the property is new, there were some maintenance issues.

Danielle

Honestly had an amazing weekend! Was an absolutely beautiful place to stay! The hosts were so welcoming!

Hosts were excellent cottage was perfect in every way ,recommend to anyone would use again. Thanks for lovely stay.

Really beautiful location and sweet and cozy house. Mike and Julie couldnt of been nicer to both of us and went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Would recommend this retreat to anyone

This amazing owl sanctuary located in the Stowmarket area of Suffolk should be high on your list of places to visit in the area.

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.

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.
