Crafter's Retreat Reviews

This is a charming rural retreat; totally private and a haven of peace and nature, with the addition of the hot tub to relax into after an active day out.

3rd stay and just as brilliant as the first two times! Hot tub is excellent, especially at night with the fairy lights. And reading on the veranda during some sunny days was perfect!

A beautiful, spacious, cabin with everything you need for a very relaxing, private stay. The cabin was clean and well equipped. We slept very well in the comfortable bed. Lovely gardens and the hot tub was extra special. The welcome treats were a nice touch. Thank you x

Amazing little cabin! We loved it! It was quiet and tranquil and we had everything we needed. We went for walks in the local area, had some dips in the hot tub and relaxed in the cozy living room. It was pretty much perfect for a quiet Christmas. Thank you both

This is the perfect place for peace and quiet. The surroundings are beautiful, the cabin is amazing and the hot tub is superb. Everything you need for a week away home from home has been carefully thought about. The welcome basket is a beautiful touch too. Definitely will be going back.

A massive thank you for the most relaxing & peaceful retreat. This has been the best week for us this year. The cabin is perfect and every detail was catered for. The welcome basket was a lovely touch. Sitting in the hot tub at night, under the lights was so peaceful and relaxing. Listening to the birds in the mornings and watching the squirrels whRead moreile eating breakfast was so lovely. We look forward to a return visit. If you get the chance, go to WORZALS for a meal. The food is amazing and there is a farm shop/gift shop and garden centre. Thank you Simon & Louise for the most perfect retreat. Hide

Thank you for having us!! Cracking cabin and surroundings. The site offered the tranquility we were searching for and the facilities were spot on. Welcome pack was a lovely touch. Note to future guests, plan ahead for local taxis & consider eateries opening hours, especially on Sunday.

What a fantastic little retreat! We truly felt relaxed throughout our stay and the cabin was thoroughly equipped to allow us to achieve this! Louise and Simon have outdone themselves here; fantastic location, beautiful views and true tranquility. The hot tub was everything and more, a beautifully relaxing spot (love the fairy lights). Beautiful gaRead morerden space. We loved toasting marshmallows in the fire pit. Lovely local walks. The recommended pubs looked fab but were mostly full unfortunately, but we enjoyed a Sunday roast to die for at the Oliver Twist Country Inn & Restaurant, 20 minutes drive. Thoroughly recommended. Only grumble would be the low pressure of the shower, but nonetheless a 10/10 stay! Thank you Louise & Simon. To all future guests, you will love your time here and not want to leave Hide

Fantastic location, fantastic accommodation. Privileged to see the green woodpecker, still looking for the deer! Thank you Simon & Louise for being such fantastic hosts!! A welcome change from the realities of the outside world & work.

Cracking place, cracking hosts, cracking surroundings. We did the 2-in-1-day pottery & woodturning if you havent booked, do it. What a lovely day & 2 new crafts to boot, both very good tutors in their respective crafts, loved it all. The hot tub is a little gem, perfect for unwinding with a glass of wine. Visited Worzels for lunch. Lovely settingRead more, nice food for lunch and lovely farm shop for eats in the evening. After our crafting day we went to the Moorings for dinner. Lovely food, really nice actually, but lacked ambience maybe due to midweek visit. The best food recommendation was NAXOS in Downham Market. Absolutely delicious! Give this a go beautiful fresh food from the med and the expresso martini was superb!! Thank you Louise & Simon for a relaxing few days xx Hide

We had a lovely break at the Crafters Retreat, surrounding areas and especially the 1-2-1 woodturning for my husband & 1-2-1 pottery for me with Blended Monkey. A very special break & anniversary.

From the moment we parked the car, we gave it a massive wow. This was our honeymoon & all the extra special touches made our stay even more amazing, event laying out the gifts from the Suffolk Secrets team had sent us, as my husband works with them. A big fat 10/10 from us. We will recommend. Thank you so much. Please can we stay!

Louise and Simon were more than helpful from booking to check in and check out and everything in between. They went above and beyond. The cabin and grounds were beautiful and so peaceful, just what we needed. We only left once to go out for dinner the rest of the time was spent relaxing in the very private garden and amazing hot tub. We would definRead moreitely recommend staying at crafters retreat and will be returning ourselves later on in the year. Hide
