A peaceful stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at Rubblestone Cottage. The cottage was warm and comfortable, with everything we needed. A cosy living room with a window that looks over the meadow, which allows you to watch the visiting wildlife. Main bedroom was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare food and the owner provides a great list of pubs, restaurants and takeaways. The lighting through out is well placed and there are some strategically placed night lights that are really useful. The communication , before, during and after our visit was superb. Directions to the property in particular were very good. Nice to meet the owners during our stay as this doesnt seem to happen as often these days. Internet and phone signal were excellent. The peaceful location was perfect and yet close to Saxmundham and the coast. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Comfortable period cottage in delightful quiet location
The cottage was very well presented with all facilities we expected and the location next to the old farmhouse was wonderfully rural and quiet. Saxmundham with shops etc is a short drive, and there are many other lovely places in the area.

Perfect all round
The property was perfect and exactly as described. Clean and comfortable. The location was beautiful and quiet, within good distance of local beaches. The town near by was about 10 minutes max drive and had everything we needed. The hosts communication and the information provided to us before our stay was exemplary. The host went over and above to go out of her way to help me with an issue I had (OF MY OWN CAUSING). Couldn't recommend more. I will definitely be returning with my family.

Getting away from it all . . . .
The property was perfect for our needs and set in beautiful surroundings with not a streetlight or siren around - no pollution of any kind. The sun shone on the patio every morning even on duller and windy days! The local town, a short drive away, had everything we wanted including a railway station. Lots of pretty villages in the surrounding area and everyone was very friendly.

Such a peaceful and tranquil place to stay but near to so many lovely places to spend the day. The cottage really does have everything you can think of & is spotlessly clean. We had some lovely days out and excellent meals at nearby towns. Perfect stay with friends. 5⭐️

A relaxing break
Just the place for a relaxing break. Very peaceful but also well situated for visits to places like Southwold and Aldeburgh. A comprehensive visitors’ book with suggestions for places to visit and postcodes - essential as all the lanes look alike! Careful thought had been given to providing everything we needed from kitchen equipment to the welcome pack. Good communication, too. Very enjoyable, thank you.
