The Cottage at Barkwith House

Central location, very friendly host. There was no breakfast included in the price, however she left fruit, juice, milk, bread, butter, marmalade, cookies, cake, tea and coffee in the kitchenette which was really lovely.

I couldn’t take a shower without getting the floor really wet. My sister took a bath which she really enjoyed.

Small self contained cottage ‘hidden’ down an access road. Adjoined to the house it has a key safe; code provided. Inside it is old and quirky. A nice French style iron framed bed with nice clean bedding placed centrally. ‘Settle’ seating on the wall with cushions overlooking the bed! Plenty of cupboard space. Tele, hairdryer, hot water bottles. Tea and coffee making facilities in the separate small kitchen. Microwave, fridge, sink etc. The very big and impressive bathroom (as big as the bedroom?) with centrally placed lovely roll topped bath with shower over. Toilet and sink and good towels. Outside a small courtyard with a round table and two chairs and some nice sculptures and plants. The contact lady was very responsive.

It’s quite expensive for no breakfast. Having said that there was two cling filmed grapefruit halves, a carton of orange juice, butter and marmalade and milk in the fridge. Also two packets of Rice Krispies, but, no bread for the butter and marmalade! Nor easily found. No shower/bath gel.

Super comfortable bed. There were some food items in the kitchen that was a lovely touch and there was lots of tea and coffee

There was no iron and it got quite cold in the evening

Bed was really comfortable and it was just a super cute place. A great pub a short walk away for dinner!

The bath is a bit tricky (as you can only really have a bath) but that is also made clear in the photos - so there's no surprises.

The cottage was so welcoming, its warm and cosy with lots of light and is so cheery with the yellow running throughout the cottage. There were some welcome supplies to welcome us after a long drive. The attention to detail is lovely and I would highly recomend a stay here. Bed is super comfy, lots of extra snuggly blankets too. The roll top bath is gorgeous too. Thank you so much for offering such a beautiful space for our mini trip to Suffolk, was the perfect location., will be lovely to come back again and explore more of Suffolk and use the cottage as a base again, Many thanks indeed, Francesca

Needed Thicker and larger quilt

Its the second stay at Barkwith as we loved it so much last time. Really cosy little place, love the decor and style of the place. Also really impressed with the little extras, breakfast, milk, shampoos etc.

Nothing we didn't like, we'll stay again for sure.
