Another fantastic stay at one of the Grove Cottage. Everything is laid out so thoughtfully, and the refurbishment and decoration of the cottage makes them both comfortable and full of character.

It's so comfortable here it's like coming home. Aaargh! Lovely.
Lisa on Friday 27th of August 2010 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
Even though the weather was awful it gave us the perfect excuse to stay inside this cosy cottage. Beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything you need. We had a relaxing four day stay and hope to return soon.
Sarah on Friday 27th of August 2010 about the stay in The Bakery
I usually stay in 2 'Premier Cottages' each year. This time was different as it was a last minute break. I was very impressed by the Bakery, your website and speed/politeness of response and welcome. The cottage is beautifully presented. I like your eco-friendly approach. The written literature was super-really informative and useful. Travis the Spaniel was very happy and the stone floor very dog friendly. All in all, just a fabulous cottage holiday!
Al and Becky on Friday 27th of August 2010 about the stay in Gun Cottage
We had a lovely relaxing week here, Beautiful cottage. Lots of attention to detail and so much local information to hand, which was fantastic, we have been looking through the book of all your other cottages and deciding which one to go to next!!!
Keith and Karen on Friday 27th of August 2010 about the stay in Dons Barn
Don's Barn is the perfect romantic getaway and the reality is even better than the website. We loved the old rustic charm combined with all your creature comforts provided for. Lots of hot water, great shower, lovely views and a great roaring fire. Max the cat made it a real home from home.

This place is a sanctuary away from the hussle and bustle of city life. It is literally an idyll. The cottage is beautiful and it feels like you are stepping back in time as you walk inside. We loved the surrounding areas as well so we will be back next year hopefully.
David and Phyllida on Friday 13th of August 2010 about the stay in Rose Cottage
Lovely peaceful place to stay in order to explore this beautiful, unspoilt and ancient part of the country. Lots of interesting things to do or just enjoy sitting in the gardens. Rose Cottage is full of character and in many respect home away from home.

A wonderful cosy cottage, beautiful surroundings. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Our black lab 'Ashley' had the time of his life. There is lots to do in this great part of the country! The beaches at Dunwich and Felixstowe are dog welcoming. (No dogs allowed on beach at Aldeburgh) Dogs and owners stay side by side here...it's great!

One week of enjoying life like 'The Larkins', only with electricity, mod cons and no children. In short, 'Heaven'! You will be hard pushed to find a holiday home that's had more thought and consideration put into it.

Although we lived very near here some 25 years ago, we had forgotten just how picturesque it is round here.

Beautiful cottage and setting, welcoming reception and hamper a wonderful touch. Guides and maps very useful.

Thank you!!
Mark and Verity on Sunday 9th of May 2010 about the stay in The Bakery
We stay at a lot of different places and often feel let down on arrival that the place is not as it appears in the pics on internet. Not so here, it's the first time we've felt the pics just don't do it justice. The actual experience is difficult to capture in a picture - It surpasses what is already v.good on internet. Bono the dog agrees...He felt very welcome and the dog biscuit a lovely touch!
Ian and Anne on Sunday 9th of May 2010 about the stay in Rose Cottage
Cute, warm and cosy cottage. Would love to have stayed longer, but other destinations booked ahead. Maxi the cat slept on my lap by the fire for an hour! Love those ducks peaking in the window! Will return if in the UK in future.

Beautiful cosy cottage, with the most romantic feel. Waking up to the view from the superb floor to ceiling windows was a welcome change to the view from our London flat. The cottage is beautifully presented with great attention to detail. We've taken away inspiration for the cottage we'll hopefully buy and restore one day. Thanks for a relaxing stay-just what we needed.

Fabulous short break. Rose cottage and the surrounding area is brilliant to visit and unwind no matter what the crazy English weather does.
Elizabeth and Mark on Friday 2nd of April 2010 about the stay in The Bakery
Excellent dog walks - wildlife we spotted were deer, fallow, golden Plovers in a flock, munkjac and otter tracks, buzzard, lapusing, linnets, gold finches, moorhen and of course less wild 'the ducks'. Interesting churches and local history to be discovered - good art galleries in Lavenham particularly the contemporary art gallery of Paul Evans and the wildlife one. The tapestry shop is good too with tapestries from Belgium well worth a look, and local crafts as the Kersey Pottery not to be missed.
Laura and Jim on Friday 2nd of April 2010 about the stay in Dons Barn
Cute, cosy cottage - perfect for getting away from it all. We hope to be back soon!

Gill on Sunday 28th of March 2010 about the stay in Gun Cottage
It's so exhausting at 'The Grove' feeding ducks, watching the superb Suffolk sunsets, glorious walks and sitting next to a log fire finding new treasures to seek out from Marks guide - seven years of visits - never grow tired of it!

Amber and David on Sunday 14th of March 2010 about the stay in Rose Cottage

Emily and Rosie the pooch on Monday 8th of March 2010 about the stay in The Bakery
I have had a very special weekend at The Bakery - perfect in every way and completely lived up to expectation. Love this cottage: the beams, bricks, warmth, candles, fire, lamps, rugs, fairylights in the garden! I could go on. Peaceful, safe, happy weekend which included two beautiful walks using the U.S map you provide. So lucky to have sunshine too! Thank you for creating such heavenly holiday cottages.

Jaclym and Jay on Monday 15th of February 2010 about the stay in The Bakery
A romantic valentines weekend in an idyllic cottage. If you want to getaway from it all, cosy up to your loved one in front of a roaring fire, this place is for you. We chose The Bakery based on the pics on the website but the reality surpassed our expectations. The service is great, even Maxi their cat is friendly! We'll certainly be back to try the other cottages.

We loved our stay in Rose Cottage over the New Year, walking our dogs in the glorious snow-covered countryside and returning to the joy of an open fire. The local villages and small towns of kersey, Polstead, long Melford and Lavenham must be amongst the most beautiful in the whole country. Do not miss!

Kris on Sunday 6th of December 2009 about the stay in Dons Barn
Having stayed at Holmwood Cottage in September we expected nothing less and was not disappointed. Dons Barn is cosy, romantic and perfect for 2 people and of course their dog.

We had a wonderful relaxing time at Dons Barn. What a beautiful and lovely cottage in such an idilic setting. We enjoyed having a roaring fire each night and trying the local pubs. The Crown in Stoke-by-Nayland did lovely food. We'll definately return once baby is born and I can walk again so we can enjoy all the walks! We loved the cat Maxi too - he was lovely for snuggling on the sofa! Friendliest cat ever and we didn't even have to feed him!

Nancy on Thursday 12th of November 2009 about the stay in Snow Cottage

Judith on Saturday 7th of November 2009 about the stay in Gun Cottage
Wonderful. Our second visit to The Grove, a different cottage this time as we brought our daughter (Gun Cottage) and our stay was every bit as pleasant as our stay at The Bakery. A few days in the calm of Suffolk and the gentle pace of life in the cottages and we feel refreshed and renewed. Thank you all at The Grove Cottages. We will be back.
Liz on Friday 6th of November 2009 about the stay in Gun Cottage
I can't tell you how much this 'Me' time has meant. On my first night here I stepped out of Gun Cottage and stood looking up at the stars - Chicken Soup for the soul. I don't remember the last time I woke up, decided what I'd like to do and just went and did it! It's been a relaxing, battery charging; ignoring the clock, fun time and I can't thank you enough for your kindness.
Arunan on Friday 6th of November 2009 about the stay in Rose Cottage

The cottage was a relaxed, peaceful haven surrounded by nature. It is the perfect location to revive and restore both mind and body.
Ian and Yvonne on Friday 18th of September 2009 about the stay in Snow Cottage
Found this cottage just by chance, how lucky we were. Fab cottage and location, just a few miles from home but feels like a different country. Snow cottage is comfy, cosy and quirky and very dog friendly, but we are not sure the chickens enjoyed meeting him when he escaped!! We would like a return visit to Grove Cottages.
Ben and Deborah on Friday 18th of September 2009 about the stay in Dons Barn

We couldn't have had a better time anywhere - you have no option but to unwind and relax.
Steve and Joanna on Friday 28th of August 2009 about the stay in The Bakery
What else can we add that has not already been written here! Its all true. The Bakery is one of the most romantic relaxing and beauitful bolt holes you could ever wish to find. We have had a week away together and have managed to let the whole real world disappear just for a short while as we explored beautiful Suffolk. Max the cat has been our companion and his gorgeous furry body has kept our knees and feet warm many times. What a lovely cat! Go to the Great House in Lavenham for wonderful food - We did and my wonderful boyfriend asked me to marry him there! And I said yes! So we leave with very special memories and we will definately return- and yes I think we did give D and T a run for their money! (D and T's comments could not be published due to being too x-rated!

An utterly charming cottage. If, like us, you crave a slice of Olde England, look no further. Peace, comfort and tranquility with just the amount of 'mod cons'. Full marks to all who have made this possible. What a find!! Just don't tell everybody. We want to come back.
Bryn and Julia on Sunday 5th of July 2009 about the stay in Rose Cottage

One of the best dog friendly cottages we have stayed in. Excellent welcome pack of groceries. The OS map with everything marked-out really helped us for great walks and places to eat. The location of the cottage is brilliant. Does what it says on the tin!! Thanks.
Rhiannon & Robert on Tuesday 15th of July 2008 about the stay in Rose Cottage

We came to stay at Gun Cottage straight from a 17 hour flight with 2 children and no car. The welcome was great, the cottage delightful and we’ve had some excellent cycle rides. A wonderful way to recover from jet lag & enjoy the best of the English countryside.
Rhiannon & Robert on Monday 7th of July 2008 about the stay in Rose Cottage
Thank you so much for providing excellent accommodation; it exceeded all our expectations. The pictures on the Internet make it look good but really didn't do it justice.

Great Cottage, well-equipped. Lots to do in the local area come rain or shine. Dog (and toddler) well-catered for. Great to have bikes to use (especially with child seat) as the landscape is so kind on the legs! We hope to be back and will try not to bring a weather front with us next time!

Lara on Friday 6th of June 2008 about the stay in Snow Cottage
Grove Cottages offers the perfect escape only 2 hours from London and you feel like you are in another world! Marks passion for his special place and surroundings is truly contagious! But best of all Grove Cottages offer the best of both worlds the chance to do nothing or activities in the English countryside

Graham, Fiona & baby Jack on Wednesday 4th of June 2008 about the stay in Rose Cottage

Mark & Lottie on Wednesday 4th of June 2008 about the stay in The Bakery
If you have booked a weekend, make it a week. If you have booked a week, make it two. Whatever you book it won't be long enough as, like us, you won't want to leave. What a gem - we really ought to keep it to ourselves!
Shaun & Megan on Wednesday 4th of June 2008 about the stay in Gun Cottage

Kirsty & Mark on Friday 26th of October 2007 about the stay in Dons Barn
Really wonderful. We loved the cottage & the surroundings. Wonderful attention to detail - someone obviously has a really good eye for decor, furnishings & refurbishment. Absolutely lovely. We’ll definitely be recommending it to friends. Only problem is it makes us really dissatisfied with our own home !!
Simon & Fiona on Friday 24th of August 2007 about the stay in The Bakery
The map of the area provided by Mark should be your bible. It has everything listed from pubs to beaches, walks to wildlife. Use it, live it, love it!!

Lovely cottage, lovely countryside, lovely holiday!!
Mike & Lin on Sunday 12th of August 2007 about the stay in The Bakery
Enjoyed a relaxing week at The Bakery. Mark made us and our Westies very welcome. We felt particularly at home in the en-suite- with its Jim Lawrence loo roll holder- identical to the one we have in our cloakroom at home! It prompted us to go over to their showroom in Stoke by Nayland and get a few more fittings!! We loved Suffolk- our first trip there and hopefully not our last- it is a beautiful setting and so much more to see.
Jo on Thursday 9th of August 2007 about the stay in Snow Cottage
Stylish rusticity in the heart of beautiful Suffolk, combined with a genuine welcome for dogs – that is something rare and special.

I just wanted to say that we had a fabulous time over the weekend. The directions were great, the welcome was outstanding and we felt part of the Grove Cottages family straight away! The Barn was delightful, and very well equipped. We had a most relaxing, enjoyable time and will definitely be coming back. We walked down to the pub in Edwardstone Friday evening and came back by stunningly bright moonlight. We also did Marks walk to Little Waldingfield on Saturday... what beautiful weather too! We couldn’t have asked for better.

Max & Melissa on Friday 1st of December 2006 about the stay in Dons Barn
Once you’ve stayed at Grove Cottages, hotels seem sadly lacking – it manages to combine all the elements of a boutique hotel, with the magic of a self catering retreat. Simply perfect!
Matthew & Juliet on Sunday 26th of November 2006 about the stay in Gun Cottage
A sublime weekend. Thank you so much, the cottages are truly beautiful.

Richard & Fay on Sunday 19th of November 2006 about the stay in The Bakery
The Bakery/The Grove was a haven – the perfect place to chill out and get away from everyday life. Lovely walks in the fresh air, pretty villages to explore, and lots of wonderful antique shops to browse around. Finish the day off with a blazing log fire or dinner in one of the many yummy eateries – what more could anyone want from a holiday?
Bernadette on Sunday 22nd of October 2006 about the stay in The Bakery
We stayed in The Bakery – not on honeymoon, but we did get engaged !!

As always – just perfect. This beautiful place “bathes my soul”. I can only hope I will return soon.
Andy & Gill on Friday 13th of October 2006 about the stay in Dons Barn
It’s always difficult going somewhere that is recommended by friends. This however is totally bullet proof. The Grove provided everything you need to help you relax. Mark is the Holy Grail with What, Who and How to see it – Listen to him ! The accommodation is superb – so is the welcome. Enjoy it you deserve it !!
Michael & Heather on Sunday 17th of September 2006 about the stay in Snow Cottage
Hi Mark, Thank you for continuing to send us your newsletters about the cottages - I forward them onto colleagues of mine looking for great short breaks! When I booked the last break we had, for Valentines week, my name was Heather Lay - you may remember me as the lady who burned the kettle! On Valentines day itself, Michael got down on one knee and proposed - so the picture of Snow Cottage brings back lovely memories. Since then, we have married & living in wedded bliss. So thank you for that - thanks to you we have some very special memories of those wonderful few days
Paul & Natalie on Monday 19th of June 2006 about the stay in Dons Barn
Simply the most amazing and friendly cottage that we have stayed in. The ducks, wildlife and beautiful countryside make The Grove a dream to stay in. Can’t wait to return and breath 100% true, traditional ‘Englishness’ again. We’ve stayed in many cottages, but The Grove beats them by a country mile!
Andre & Lisa on Friday 26th of May 2006 about the stay in Snow Cottage

Have had a fantastic time – Gun Cottage is so cosy, comfortable and quiet, and it’s nice to hear the ducks splashing in the pond – much nicer than the alarm clock!
Andy & Mary on Friday 12th of August 2005 about the stay in Snow Cottage
We have felt that The Grove team have made it a matter of personal pride to provide a beautiful, spotlessly clean cottage, and warm and informative welcome. They have gone on to respond to any concerns during the week speedily, but without any fuss. We could not have been more delighted.
John on Saturday 23rd of July 2005 about the stay in Dons Barn
Ahead of our hectic wedding schedule, an ideal place to relax, catch up and plan! Sights and smells second to none!

Ashley & Sue on Friday 3rd of June 2005 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
Work? Stress? After a few hours here we have forgotten it all. Orchard Cottage is the perfect chill out haven to return to, after a days exploring. This place combines the luxury of a Boutique Hotel with the sense of feeling at home. Log fires, ducks quacking, the scent of beeswax and honeysuckle – it appeals to all the senses – you really have thought of everything!
Jane on Monday 9th of May 2005 about the stay in Dons Barn
This is the perfect antidote to London life. We can’t praise the place highly enough, even though we realise this might mean it’s fully booked, next time we want to come! The cottage definitely has the “wow” factor. We were totally in awe of all the finishing touches that really set this apart from other self catering accommodation. We will definitely, absolutely, without doubt be returning at some point in the near future!!
Ross & Sarah on Monday 25th of April 2005 about the stay in Gun Cottage
A beautiful relaxing hideaway – this place needs to be kept a secret!!
Neil on Sunday 17th of April 2005 about the stay in Gun Cottage

Chris & Gillian on Wednesday 30th of March 2005 about the stay in Rose Cottage
Peace and quiet. “Just what the Doctor ordered”.
Stephen & Janet on Monday 14th of March 2005 about the stay in The Bakery
So relaxing, the stress of work was gone within the first few hours. Wish we could have stayed longer. Just what we needed to re-charge the batteries. Charming cottage, everything we needed on hand.

With snow every day for 2 weeks, we could not have picked a cosier or more relaxing place to be. Don’s Barn was the perfect place! This is a really classy place to stay!
David & Anthony on Friday 25th of February 2005 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
Orchard Cottage was spacious and stocked with everything you need for a nice, relaxing break. We’ll definitely return soon, and anyone who is reading this, BOOK NOW!!
Marion on Monday 21st of February 2005 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
It was certainly worth the journey from Holland, to stay in your cottage. We love the place. Great walks, good pubs, warm welcome. We’ll recommend you to our friends and family.
Karl & Diane on Thursday 13th of January 2005 about the stay in The Bakery
The warmest, cosiest cottage experience in England! The attention to detail (local artwork, food provisions, suggested attractions, restaurants, rambling trails, fresh flowers and guest amenities), made the transition to settling in seamless. Instant relaxation. Your hosts are also very accommodating and professional. Well Done!
Tim & Kath on Friday 7th of January 2005 about the stay in Gun Cottage
10/10 again and again!
Steve & Claire on Friday 7th of January 2005 about the stay in Rose Cottage

Believe the comments & pictures on the website - Its great here - very relaxing & cosy, plus it comes with a free cat!!
Dave & Patricia on Thursday 16th of December 2004 about the stay in Rose Cottage
Our only complaint is that 3 days is not enough! Relaxed, easy going, peaceful atmosphere and mercifully free of “boutique hotel” attitude (we’ve had bad experiences!). Charm and luxury without fuss.
Andrew & Ann-Marie on Sunday 12th of December 2004 about the stay in The Bakery
We had an excellent & relaxing week’s break. A real ‘Home from Home’ – a million miles away from the stresses of modern life but with all the creature comforts. It was a wonderful surprise to come back to the Christmas Tree in The Bakery – Just another of the wonderful attentions to detail. Our first visit to Suffolk & we look forward to returning in the future and making The Grove Cottages our base.
Gill & Malcolm on Friday 10th of December 2004 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
The twinkling Christmas lights welcome you back to The Grove. The smell of spice, poinsettia’s in the window and roaring fires complete the festive mood. Merry Christmas to all !!
Leslie on Friday 3rd of December 2004 about the stay in Snow Cottage
What a great surprise the Welcome Pack was, we have been self catering 30 years and this is the first Welcome Pack we’ve had. Great little Cottage - tranquil surroundings and the flowers were lovely. Thanks.
Marna on Monday 29th of November 2004 about the stay in Dons Barn
Thank you for making our first anniversary in England a special one. What a great idea to be able to discover the English countryside on bicycles! We especially loved the farm style atmosphere provided.
Pete & Nicky on Thursday 25th of November 2004 about the stay in Dons Barn
Fab, Fab, Fab. Will (reluctantly!) have to recommend to our friends, and no doubt they along with us, will become repeat offenders!! Felt right at home, as soon as we arrived.
Jim & Donna on Friday 19th of November 2004 about the stay in Dons Barn
Another great stay, we will definitely be back – Again!!
Craig on Monday 15th of November 2004 about the stay in Snow Cottage
Idyllic cottage in a beautiful part of the world. Thanks for the warm welcome and directions to so many stunning villages…and pubs! Our first time in Suffolk and we will certainly be back.

You’ve got it right – a warm welcome, a comfy and well equipped cottage and complete privacy. Thanks!!

Enchanting….Like in a children’s Fairy Tale ! Gorgeous
Selena & Alan on Thursday 4th of November 2004 about the stay in The Bakery
A very peaceful place and great for quiet contemplation but also a big adventure for toddlers who like ducks, chickens, tractors, bikes, deer, dogs, cats, and Autumn leaves.
Avril & Alison on Friday 29th of October 2004 about the stay in Snow Cottage
Bliss – Perfect - No Hassle - Every need provided for.
Sarah on Monday 18th of October 2004 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
Felt like home down to the open fire and ‘rent-a-cat’. We will definitely be back!
Steve & Liz on Tuesday 12th of October 2004 about the stay in Rose Cottage
Squashy bed and sofa, open fire, quiet roads, deer roaming the fields, great pubs serving real ale. Can’t wait to come back – we’ve had a fabulous time!
Tasha on Saturday 9th of October 2004 about the stay in The Bakery
We had a perfect weekend break. The Bakery is very cosy and the mattress, duvet and pillows were so comfy, and the bath towels so fluffy. It was an effort to get out and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and abundance of things to do. We highly recommend Grove Cottages, and hope to return.
Malcolm & Gill on Monday 4th of October 2004 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
Mark has created a sanctuary for all seasons.
Sally, Wahab & Flori on Sunday 26th of September 2004 about the stay in Dons Barn
Very relaxing! An authentic country retreat. Great place to escape from the hustle and bustle and to recharge your batteries.
Patricia on Sunday 26th of September 2004 about the stay in Dons Barn
We particularly enjoyed the quiet, rural setting, the hooting of owls and the visits of Maxi the cat!
Bill on Friday 24th of September 2004 about the stay in Snow Cottage
First Class Accommodation. Everything we needed was provided – it lived up to the website description ! We are keen walkers and were amazed at how attractive this area is with its rolling hills and rivers. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay made doubly so by your excellent facilities.
Tim on Sunday 5th of September 2004 about the stay in Dons Barn
We think of Grove Cottages as our ‘bolt hole’! A true escape.
Lizzy on Sunday 22nd of August 2004 about the stay in Rose Cottage
We had a fantastic weekend and can’t wait to come back again. Rose Cottage was perfect; a true fairytale cottage!
Matt & Emma-Jane on Saturday 14th of August 2004 about the stay in Rose Cottage
The beautifully simplistic interior and the exquisitely tranquil exterior, come together in such a way, that can only inspire you to want to live the rest of your life as Tom and Barbara, rather than Margot & Jerry!!
Jim & Donna on Thursday 12th of August 2004 about the stay in Gun Cottage
What a great cottage, bags of character, fantastic location and can’t wait to come back!!
Steve & Phillippa on Friday 6th of August 2004 about the stay in Snow Cottage
What a marvellous area this is! It has to be one of the most beautiful areas in Great Britain and there is so much to do. The accommodation and the site are excellent. It is great to have such a good central location.
Len on Friday 30th of July 2004 about the stay in Dons Barn
I booked Don’s Barn on the images on the website. The reality far, far exceeded those images. Great atmosphere, great comforts and great location in the heart of magical country and villages. Len - Australia
Ian, Carol & Imogen on Friday 23rd of July 2004 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
The three of us and our dog had a really good stay. The surroundings were very peaceful, the owls, the peacocks and the rooster added to our enjoyment. We have tried several times before to visit The Grove, and this is the first time we have been able to get in. Our expectations and hopes were very fully achieved.
David & Susan on Thursday 22nd of July 2004 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
Staying in this delightful cottage has been everything we expected and more. The accommodation is charming, the facilities provided for all our needs. The thoughtfulness which so obviously pervades every inch of the cottages and gardens is apparent in every detail. We have enjoyed the tranquillity, the dogs have enjoyed the country walks. We will definitely come here again!!!
James & Kate on Sunday 18th of July 2004 about the stay in The Bakery
A home away from home –quiet, peaceful and tasteful. I’d recommend Grove Cottages to anyone and everyone. We were both thoroughly impressed with your set up. The properties themselves were gorgeous and your guest info superb. Even though it rained, your provision of bikes and general local area info meant that we found plenty to do and enjoy. The only disappointment is that we didn’t stay longer. Kate Pain, Editor, Fitness First Magazine.
Roscoe & Grace on Friday 16th of July 2004 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
It is so refreshing to have a quiet country cottage, that is self catering and so beautifully decorated, it should be tried by everyone on holiday. Beautiful countryside and we were well taken care of. We appreciated the basket with the goodies, and the extra touch with the flowers. The Grove did an excellent job taking care of us!
Sue on Sunday 11th of July 2004 about the stay in Snow Cottage
What a delightful place! The pillows and bed were so comfortable and snug, almost a shame to get up! A most beautiful piece of England and so peaceful. Thank you for the hamper!
Paul & Berit on Friday 9th of July 2004 about the stay in Rose Cottage
We were looking for something special – and we found it! Thank you very much.
Rob & Jessica on Sunday 4th of July 2004 about the stay in Rose Cottage
With excellent local information and mountain bikes to use, we had great fun exploring the area, before returning to our cosy cottage to relax in front of the fire.
Gill on Monday 28th of June 2004 about the stay in Gun Cottage
Better than spending time in a health farm! The tranquillity is priceless.
Tina & Andy on Sunday 20th of June 2004 about the stay in Dons Barn
Absolutely Fantastic ! I’d like to say ‘Home from Home’ but home isn’t this wonderful. Thanks x
Janet on Monday 17th of May 2004 about the stay in The Bakery
Splendid atmosphere – we arrived wired as you do when you live in London, and after 3 glorious days feel completely at peace. “An Oasis”.
Liz & Dewole on Friday 14th of May 2004 about the stay in Rose Cottage
We had a lovely time, the surroundings were beautiful, calm and relaxing, we could have stayed forever. Mark made it really easy for us to find things to do and visit nice places. Although the cottage was so nice, sometimes we just stayed in bed! We had a wonderful honeymoon!! We had a great time, hopefully, we will come back once the baby is born!
Louise & Tristan on Sunday 18th of April 2004 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
We have had a lovely weekend in your gorgeous cottage……peace, quiet, birds and stars – thank you!
Darren & Kate on Friday 9th of April 2004 about the stay in Snow Cottage
Wonderfully relaxing environment. What every townie longs for (whether they know it or not) and what every local takes for granted. These three days of peace will see me through the next three months of London’s drudge. We look and feel human again after three day’s.
Gill & Malcolm on Friday 9th of April 2004 about the stay in Dons Barn
Don’s Barn; the place where dreams come true beside a roaring log fire and a panoramic view.
Jonathan & Catriona on Sunday 28th of March 2004 about the stay in Rose Cottage
The perfect romantic hideaway and a great place to spend one of our last weekends alone together before our first baby arrives!
Karen on Monday 22nd of March 2004 about the stay in Gun Cottage
Blissfully peaceful, a slice of a quieter era, where the pace of life is as slow as you want it!
Neil on Thursday 18th of March 2004 about the stay in Gun Cottage
We have had an absolutely fabulous holiday. The area has so much to offer and to have somewhere to also bring our dogs, has been just fantastic. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Grove Cottages to anyone else who would like a quiet or fun packed holiday.
Sam on Sunday 14th of March 2004 about the stay in Snow Cottage
Thank you for providing such a lovely accommodation in beautiful surroundings. It’s the perfect ‘get away from it all’ place. Fantastically well equipped compared to other cottages we have stayed in, the welcome basket & map with walks marked were especially appreciated.
Caroline & Tuula on Saturday 13th of March 2004 about the stay in Rose Cottage
Everything was absolutely perfect and exceeded our expectations. A dream come true!
Janis on Friday 12th of March 2004 about the stay in Dons Barn
Very lovely place to stay for a few days unwinding reading, painting……..I had everything I needed and more!!
Bill & Marie on Monday 8th of March 2004 about the stay in Rose Cottage
Our long weekend at Rose Cottage enabled us to walk in Constable country, visit a market in Bury St Edmunds and a recital at the fabulous Cathedral, returning always to a lovely log fire – perfect!!
John & Beverley on Friday 5th of March 2004 about the stay in Dons Barn
What a fantastic weekend. The Grove was way beyond our expectations. A real treat to find such a dog friendly place. Even the information pack was full of places to eat, that welcome dogs. The Red Rose at Lindsey even provided a bowl of water for our two thirsty hounds! Thanks Mark – we’ll be back!!
Mike & Pat on Friday 20th of February 2004 about the stay in The Bakery
Wonderful time. Great welcome to a beautiful cottage, with music playing quietly as we arrived, and flowers to move us - a breakfast hamper to fill us. The eggs were delicious. Warm, friendly and helpful hosts. Thank you so much. A real bolthole away from the rush of life and quietness to be together.
Canon MacRae & Ruth on Friday 13th of February 2004 about the stay in Rose Cottage
There’s no better place to be warm and snug on a winters weekend. It must be amazing in the summer!
Kate & Ian on Sunday 25th of January 2004 about the stay in Rose Cottage
Having just been proposed to I didn’t think the weekend could get much better. This cottage was a fabulous surprise - It is beautifully renovated in a rustic style but with all the mod-cons you need for amazing comfort. The surrounding area has beautiful walks and amazing country pubs - couldn’t get much better for a romantic weekend away from London. I highly recommend the place to anyone - you won’t be disappointed. Kate.
Joanne & Peter on Saturday 27th of December 2003 about the stay in The Bakery
Perfect place to recharge our batteries ! Really enjoyed it, as did our dogs. Thank you !
James & Jackie on Monday 24th of November 2003 about the stay in Snow Cottage
Mark, you have found the famous formula of location, amenity and friendliness that everyone who wants to get away should be looking for! Three weeks of bliss, thank you.
David, Pippa & Lydia on Monday 17th of November 2003 about the stay in Gun Cottage
Thank you for a lovely relaxing long weekend, which started with our little girl picking apples from the garden! Didn’t realise places like this existed. Lovely country roads with hardly any traffic and beautiful villages to admire. See you next year!
Ian & Celia on Friday 24th of October 2003 about the stay in The Bakery
We came back within 6 weeks – what more can we say!!
David & Valerie on Friday 24th of October 2003 about the stay in Gun Cottage
Very welcoming, with lovely touches seldom found, such as ‘welcome’ pack of food and fresh flowers. Lovely to see paintings, making homely atmosphere. Beautiful scenery and so peaceful and relaxing.
Ian & Celia on Sunday 14th of September 2003 about the stay in Rose Cottage
We cannot remember a better holiday and will be returning every year. Need we say more?
Rob & Sarah on Friday 5th of September 2003 about the stay in The Bakery
Wonderfully calm and relaxing – the perfect ‘Honeymoon’.
Amanda & Richard on Friday 22nd of August 2003 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
So sad to leave. We have had a magical time. Mark has made us feel very welcome and is full of useful information and recommendations. I will miss watching the sunset over the orchard while enjoying a glass of wine. I will recommend you to all my friends. Amanda.
Jackie on Tuesday 12th of August 2003 about the stay in Gun Cottage
Mark - Just thought I’d drop you a note to say how much I enjoyed staying at Grove Cottages. Snoozing under an apple tree while my kids laze around and amuse themselves is truly my idea of heaven. (Note to self : MUST bring cider next time). Thank you for a fab week - sadly I am back in the London smog, quaffing cocktails in Charlotte St and wearing my Prada ...See you again soon, I hope (and for a long weekend without offspring too!)
Justin & Maria on Sunday 10th of August 2003 about the stay in The Bakery
For our 2 hour drive we found a real sanctuary. Stressed? Need a break? Grove Cottages is the place….. and don’t forget the Pimms, Mark can provide the fresh mint!!!
Gill on Friday 1st of August 2003 about the stay in The Bakery
The only ‘rush hour’ at The Grove is the ducks passing your door heading for breakfast. Each visit holds new delights. See you next time.
Shaun & Megan on Friday 2nd of May 2003 about the stay in Gun Cottage
So glad we found this beautiful place! Our cottage was delightful, oozing with style and set in picturesque countryside. So much to see and do – our eight and ten year old children didn’t even miss Playstation!! – thank you so much, we will be back soon!!
Deon & Tabatha on Wednesday 2nd of April 2003 about the stay in The Bakery
It was a brave step to book our honeymoon here sight unseen, but I could not have wished for a more perfect setting. The attention to detail, superb interior design and stunning over all effect made this a place I would recommend to anyone who respects and searches for beauty. Antique hunting (& finding !), canoeing down the Stour & gourmet dining – wonderful.
Andrew & Theresa on Monday 31st of March 2003 about the stay in Rose Cottage
We have enjoyed ourselves immensely. We have escaped many times from London but the attention to detail here makes this the best short break we have ever taken.
Simon, Sarah & Oscar on Friday 28th of March 2003 about the stay in Gun Cottage
Positively charming – just the right mix of old and new
Rachel & Dave on Sunday 23rd of March 2003 about the stay in The Bakery
A 30th birthday to remember. Breakfast on the lawn was brilliant - even the dogs didn’t want to leave!
Antonio & Vicky on Monday 10th of February 2003 about the stay in The Bakery
Romantic - Cosy - Roaring log fires - Beautiful walks. Fantastic Local Pubs and wonderful pets to borrow….. A little slice of Heaven on Earth.
Charlie & Simon on Wednesday 1st of January 2003 about the stay in Rose Cottage
Hello Mark, Thanks for your newsletter with regards to your winter offers ...Unfortunately we probably wont be staying with you this year because, after we had such a wonderful time here early last year, we have moved here! In fact, we are sort-of neighbours; we live on school corner, the other side of grove field to you. So, this is really just to say hi. Regards Charlie & Simon
Michael & Wendy on Saturday 7th of December 2002 about the stay in Rose Cottage
Warm, Welcoming & Wonderful Walks ! So good to find somewhere that well behaved dogs are welcomed – even encouraged. A truly relaxing Winter weekend !
Mark, Lottie & Anya on Friday 22nd of November 2002 about the stay in The Bakery
This was our third visit to The Grove Cottages – and what a fantastic surprise holiday, thanks to our competition win (thank you Mark for the nicest email we’ve ever opened!). If you have booked a weekend, make it a week. If you have booked a week, make it two. Whatever you book it won’t be long enough as, like us, you won’t want to leave. What a gem – we really ought to keep it to ourselves. Thanks again, We’ll be back !
Deborah on Sunday 17th of November 2002 about the stay in Rose Cottage
The weekend was everything I had hoped it would be and more. I hated to leave and have found myself sitting at my desk daydreaming about being back! Beautiful surroundings, so peaceful after the noise of London - just a wonderful place to be! I am coming back again soon!
Charlotte & Friends on Sunday 17th of November 2002 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
Once again The Grove Cottages never fail to produce the perfect place to come to totally unwind, relax & shake off the cobwebs. Winter or Summer the ideal country retreat. We will definitely be coming to visit again – Charlie (our little Westie) was also made to feel very welcome. Recommend a visit to The Red Rose at Lindsey – would suggest however not eating for a few days in preparation as the portions are extremely generous.
Rae & John on Friday 25th of October 2002 about the stay in Snow Cottage
In all our travels around the UK, we have never found a more beautiful spot. Little hamlets & thatched cottages throughout the area. And the ambience of The Grove Cottages! just what we like. Great local pubs with excellent food, favourite place Lavenham & further afield, Orford for the oysters. Wish we had another week!
Paula & Kelly on Monday 21st of October 2002 about the stay in Rose Cottage
Stylish. Cosy. Comfortable. Unique. Beautiful Surroundings... are just a few words that we can think of to describe this gorgeous cottage. We will be back !!
Bridget & David on Monday 14th of October 2002 about the stay in Rose Cottage
I don’t know what was more heavenly: stretching out on the leather sofa watching lazy Sunday afternoon movies in Snow Cottage or burning up in front of the log fire in Rose Cottage. These Cottages have serious style (and bed linen and showers to die for). ‘Hip Hotels’ eat your heart out………. We’ll be back… Thank you.
Dave & Sue on Sunday 13th of October 2002 about the stay in The Bakery
When we pulled up into the car park, the welcome we received was wonderful and when we entered our beautiful cottage we knew that the Rest & Relaxation that we desperately needed was going to be ours for the weekend. This cottage has been our sanctuary & the peaceful, homely and relaxed atmosphere will be remembered by us always. Thank you.
Margaret on Sunday 6th of October 2002 about the stay in Gun Cottage
Delightful, warm welcoming place. Totally private. Personal plus point - I can bring my dog!
Veronica & Lucy on Thursday 28th of February 2002 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
We’ve had such a happy time here. A lot of thought has been put into getting it right - comfortable beds, cotton bed linen, feather duvets (yum), fluffy towels, shower that works - and Maxi the cat. Thanks for a wonderful stay !
Mark, Alison, Isaac & Ursula on Thursday 28th of February 2002 about the stay in Gun Cottage
We loved the flowers everywhere. The staircase hidden behind a door. The ducks and the conker tree. We felt completely at home, sorry to go so soon !! will try to come back soon. A thoroughly welcoming place. Well Done.
Sam on Thursday 1st of January 1970 about the stay in Dons Barn
Wonderful relaxing stay, many thanks !
Chris and Julie on Thursday 1st of January 1970 about the stay in Dons Barn
Had a fabulous time, we're refreshed and the dogs are exhausted. Excellent welcome and information packs. Pub and walking map was particularly useful. It would be lovely to come back if only to use the wood burning stove as the weather was beautiful.
Peter, Tracey, Connor and Patches the dog on Friday 3rd of September 2010 about the stay in Orchard Cottage
The cottage itself is absolutely beautiful and was presented superbly along with the great welcome. The welcome basket was superb and made us more aware of the extra special taste of the natural countryside. Our expectations have been surpassed. Upon arrival it was like stepping into a dream world, as we have longed to find somewhere just like Orchard Cottage for so long!! The welcome, the surroundings, the cottage, the wonderful wildlife outside our door. Wonderful idyllic and simply perfect. Thank you so very much.
