SUPERB AND IMPECCABLE This place is idyllic - and we had the best time! I am a disabled lady, so I was very nervous when I booked this holiday. I need not have worriedfrom the moment we stepped inside it blew us away! You can definitely tell it has been purpose built as every detail has been thought of.

We loved our stay at The Rectory Cottage. It was immaculately clean & very well equipped. The bedrooms were light & airy, the beds very comfortable & lovely quality linen & fluffy towels - we liked that you could access the garden/jacuzzi area from your bedroom. Lots to do in the area - we especially liked the Saturday Farmers Market in Wyken, BanhRead moream Zoo & Lavenham. Overall great place to stay, lovely hosts & brownies were wonderful!! Hide

Keith

We enjoyed our stay at the Old Rectory Cottage, two weeks of relaxation in this spacious and beautifully crafted cottage. Adding to the experience we were on the grounds of the Old Rectory itself, an impressive building and all of it nestling in the Suffolk countryside.

This was our third visit to this wonderful cottage and we fully intend to visit again soon. Highly recommended.

Ian

Due to owning a dog we tend to Holiday in the UK 3 times a year and we would have to say this is one of the best Holiday Cottages we have stayed in. It had all you could want for a restful, peaceful stay with the Cottage fully equipped and it was so relaxing watching the Hares playing & boxing along with the Pheasants & Deer. Katie & Kevin the owneRead morers were really nice and we have already recommended this Cottage to Family & Friends & will we look forward to coming back again, Ian, Julie & Bonnie Hide

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.

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.

Jonathan

We have holidayed twice at Burgate in recent years and it is now causing us huge difficulties when researching future holidays. It is a unique property offering superb facilities at a reasonable cost in a lovely location. With a limited number of holidays per year we have to take the opportunity to explore other areas. Trying to find accommodation Read morethat comes anywhere near matching Old Rectory Cottage is very challenging indeed. We wish we could pick it up and take around the country with us. Hide

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!

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.

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.

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.
