Babbelkous, Bramfield Reviews

The Philpotts & The McKee's (& Millie Dog)

What a beautiful space you have created. We have enjoyed every moment from the house to the land that you are fortunate custodians of. It was the perfect place to gather our family, young and old. Dad had 39 species of birds, muntjac deer, brown hare, rabbit, frog, newt & stoat. We hope to visit again soon.

Dodd Family

Thank you for a wonderful stay. We are three generations of a family, gathering for a week away we like in Yorkshire. We had the best weather, perfect for trips to the beach, the broads and exploring the local area including the pubs! We ventured to Southwold, Thorpeness, Aldeburgh, Snape Maltings, Wroxham and took a boat trip on the Broads.

Maxine And David

We have greatly enjoyed our week in the wonderful Babblekous in such a beautiful and tranquil location, renewing our love of Suffolk where we lived for 7 years nearly 40 years ago! It has been great to come back. Thank you

The Shaws And Chaters

Such a wonderful stay in a stunning holiday home. Some fantastic memories made amongst three generations. We would love to return in the future, thank you!

The Gohil's And Patel Family

Babblekous Team! Thanks for an amazing stay. Such a wonderful house, we all have had an amazing stay.

What a beautiful house ,plenty of space for all three generations of the family to enjoy. We loved relaxing in the wood burning hot tub and the children all enjoyed making pizza from scratch and cooking them in the pizza oven . Lots of fabulous memories made in this amazing house

Hannah

Had a fabulous time celebrating the new year in your lovely home! Kitchen was equipped with everything we could possibly need. Thank you so much for a lovely stay. Happy New Year!

Carmen

We absolutely loved our stay. A beautiful house, handsomely designed with gorgeous views. Beds were immaculate and very comfortable, bathrooms perfect with the most amazing showers. We have stayed in many houses, but never one quite as stunning as this one. We hope to return. It made for the perfect Christmas.

This place was absolutely amazing and far beyond exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely beautiful and had a real luxurious feel to it. I chose this place to propose to my partner at the little pond to the rear and it was stunning. The rooms are large and bed so comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need and a wonderful touch that we received a recipe and ingredients for the pizza oven. The hot tub was great. We all loved our stay here and we would like to come back every year! Thank you so much!

Raymond

When we booked Babbelkous we had wondered whether it would live up to the photographs, it did and more. This eco house sits perfectly in its landscape and offered something to each of our family spanning three generations. Of note was its open aspect much glass affording many views, the overall comfort, underfloor heating giving consistent temperatures throughout, spaces in which to hide away with a book and the large sociable kitchen. Then outside, in the courtyard area, entertainment was to be had as cooking and heating with wood was successfully mastered and the welcome pack of pizza ingredients put to good use. The wider outside spaces offered walks and opportunities for much wildlife spotting. And, whilst Babbelkous location is rural, access to our favourite coastal locations was easy, the best of both worlds. We very much welcomed this opportunity to live in such an amazing home with an eco focus and look forward to coming again.

Babbelkous is an amazing property, juts like something from Grand Designs. It is a fabulous family home, let out as a holiday property. The spaces are light and warm, with plenty of places to sit although not together and nice views. The beds are comfortable, with nice linens. Although the property is between a railway line and an A road, it is peaceful and quiet. There is a courtyard garden with long tables, barbeque, pizza oven and hot tub. All those modern conveniences mean that this is a complicated house. There are a dozen thermostats, an air exchange system where the fans run all night, windows that confuse grandparents, and soooo many unlabelled light switches. It would all be obvious when you lived there for a while, but turning the lights out before bed invariably took ages. Similarly the wood fired pizza oven and hot tub are not easy things to get right on your first attempt. We had a lovely week there, but at times it did feel more like a working holiday than a holiday.

Fantastic setting and had a great family weekend. Some issues with level of maintenance which took the edge of the stay. Kitchen sink was unusable due to leak Reported but not repaired while we were there. Both ensuite shower doors upstairs did not close due to faults on runners and seal. Downstairs shower steam room drain was slow so any shower of more than a couple of minutes had water up to the shower door.

Thank you so much for letting us enjoy the wonderful Babbelkous! We've had a wonderful 10 days making happy memories.

Stunning house is idyllic location Babbelkous is a stunningly designed and beautifully furnished house set in the wonderful Suffolk countryside and we spent the most relaxing time there enjoying the extensive grounds, watching the dramatic weather come and go and visiting many of the charming villages and lovely coastline that Suffolk has to offer. The owner was a fantastic host who could not have been more helpful. Thank you for a very special stay!

Amanda B

This house is fabulous. We were searching for a large house that could accommodate our families for a long weekend. We couldnt ask for anything more. We loved the excluded property, modern design of the house and of course the pizza oven! The house owner was very informative and helpful with our needs. We had a lovely welcome basket which was very thoughtful. The house had all the amenities you could need. All of the beds and pillows were very comfortable not to mention everything was spotless. I was really impressed of how eco friendly the house was with all renewable energy. Heated floors were a hit. The sunken garden In the backyard is absolutely fabulous, we loved being able to spend time outside together. The only thing we wanted to change was that we wished we booked our stay a little longer. We enjoyed it so much we didnt want to leave. If youre looking for a jaw dropping stay this house will impress.

We had an amazing visit! The accommodation was beautiful and the scenery stunning. It was very well equipped and was great for my mum who was in a wheelchair as it had the ground level bedroom with ensuite. One suggestion I would make, to make all facilities fully available to everyone, including those who have mobility difficultieswho are disabled is to have a television on the ground level as my mum was unable to get up the stairs to the TV area so we was unable to enjoy a cosy family movie night one evening. Other than that the accommodation is perfect for a wonderful break away and the Pizza Oven was a lovely added touch! Maybe a hot tub in the future could be an added bonus! Thank you for a wonderful stay x

Rimmels

Our family had a lovely short stay here. The house and the countryside are both beautiful! Hope we can come back again.

Beautifully contemporary designed modern barn style home The owner was very helpful and the clean lines and slick architecture of the property made the space a bright, airy as well as a very comfortable and homely base for our two week stay. Well located for shops and coasts yet set in a wonderful easy accessible location looking over fields. The house was very spacious with good bedrooms, great ensuites and all modern comforts and conveniences. Would definitely stay again. Thanks.

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.

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.

This award winning wildlife attraction has much to offer both families and couples looking for a fun and educational day out. 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 attraction is fantastic value for money and highly recommended. Their latest event is the Snow Leopard Club Naming Auction and there has recently been a baby giraffe born at the zoo.

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. You can even book your ticket online and beat the queues by visiting their website where you can also view video clips of the park. This place is also the setting for the book 'A Boggle at BeWILDerwood', by local children's author Tom Blofeld. Parents are not left out either as you're encouraged to take part and play alongside your children.

Melsop Farm Park - NR20 3DT

about 29 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.
