Monday, 22nd of March, 2010, Rebecca and Nigel:
We recently spent a wonderful 6 months at Scrumpy's whilst in the process of relocating to Suffolk. The barn made an extremely comfortable and cosy abode for our extended stay, with all the home comforts we could have asked for. Scrumpy's is in a fabulous location; nestled in a quiet spot which has an abundance of walks on the doorstep (including many which are very dog friendly and safe), and so a step just out of the front door can take you in a few different directions to enjoy the peace and scenery. The barn has very easy access to many wonderful places that Suffolk has on offer including Long Melford and Lavenham, in addition to a long list of good pubs and all the amenities and sites of Hadleigh even closer to home. We were made to feel very welcome throughout our stay, and feel lucky to have started life in Suffolk in such a beautiful spot.
Friday, 2nd of October, 2009, Margaret:
A lovely place to stay - we felt very welcome.
