• Sunday, 15th of October, 2017, Sue & Paul:
  

  Our first time at Grove Cottages and it won't be our last. We loved everything about it and so did our dog. It is a perfect retreat with lovely accommodation for humans and their 4 legged friends. The extra touches like the welcome basket and flowers, made it really special and the added bonus of a proper pub only a short walk away. Everything was just perfect!

• Monday, 25th of September, 2017, Gill & Malcolm:
  

  Perfection as always. Just like coming home.

• Thursday, 1st of June, 2017, Mandy:
  

  Brilliantly based location for visiting loads of places without having to travel too far. Peaceful and pretty area. You've managed to retain a sense of 'own space' within a complex of several cottages. Many thanks for a nice stay

  A cosy little cottage with beautiful dog walks right on the doorstep.

• Monday, 27th of February, 2017, Amanda:
  

  As always a lovely stay and excellent facilities, in particular the welcome basket, far superior to a lot we have had with other businesses. You can see lots of thoughtful touches, keep up the good work. Always recommend to others especially for dog owners to have somewhere nice to stay.

• Monday, 23rd of January, 2017, Cathie:
  

  Farm Cottage was snug and I really enjoyed a relaxing stay. Even my two boys felt at home. Well done!

• Sunday, 15th of January, 2017, Rosemary & Jonathan:
  

  Our return to Farm Cottage for a weekend break was a perfect antidote to the January blues! Warm and very cosy - perfect battery charging for us and our two elderly dogs who love the fire. Thank you again for the most welcome welcome basket! We hope to be back soon.

• Friday, 13th of January, 2017, William:
  

  Seventh visit - seventh heaven! Thanks.

• Sunday, 8th of January, 2017, Gill & Malcolm:
  

  You would think Mark, that after coming here for 14 years - 30 visits and counting I would have seen everything and done everything. Not a bit of it! There is always a new wonder, this time it was a herd of deer crossing the road on my way to Sudbury. A great seasonal experience. Till the next time Mark...........

• Monday, 2nd of January, 2017, Leanne:
  

  Lovely cottage - we will be coming back!

• Monday, 14th of November, 2016, Gill & Malcolm:
  

  Eating chestnuts cooked on an open log fire - can't beat it! 30 visits plus and always something new to visit and see, then return to the comfort of Farm Cottage. Can't beat it

• Monday, 7th of November, 2016, Rosie & Stephen:
  

  Having previously stayed at Grove Cottages, this visit was even more enjoyable and relaxing. A lovely, cosy, quiet country cottage with everything you need for a perfect weekend away.

• Friday, 28th of October, 2016, Andrew & Donatella:
  

  This cottage is so cosy and cute. This meant in the day we went on long walks with nice local pubs and at night we sat by the fire. Such an enjoyable stay.

• Friday, 21st of October, 2016, Charles:
  

  This was one of our most relaxing holidays, in a tastefully done environment. Plenty of good tourist information and well stocked cottages. Our nicest walk was to the local church through the fields, past some pheasant hutches and a delightful encounter with the horses. Thank you.

• Saturday, 24th of September, 2016, Richard & Gemma:
  

  A little piece of heaven hidden away in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. Everything about the cottages and area was perfect. Thank you for an amazingly relaxing holiday for the 3rd time. Just amazing.

We particularly appreciated the lovely whitewash interior and high quality linens. The welcome basket was also an added bonus. We had a great time relaxing in the cosy sitting room with wine and also using the complimentary bikes to see the gorgeous countryside.

• Friday, 8th of July, 2016, Gill & Malcolm:
  

  Great many thanks for the surprise champagne welcome! We will be back in September. Great chill out!!

• Monday, 23rd of May, 2016, Carolyn & Liz:

• Thursday, 12th of May, 2016, Dudley:

  What a delightful spot this is! Our first visit to Grove Cottages and Suffolk. On arrival we were given a warm welcome from Mark and a guided tour of the property and the cottage. A very generous welcome basket full of goodies (much appreciated) and masses of information, maps etc about the area. The cottage is warm, comfortable and cosy. A perfect retreat to return to after a day spent sightseeing, walking - or maybe just lazing in the lovely garden. We go home with many happy memories - many thanks, Barbara & Roy, Perth, W Australia.

• Friday, 21st of August, 2015, Jane:
  

  Astonishingly quiet, can only hear owls at night - the quietest cottage we've ever had! Our dog loved the orchard - as did we. The space, freedom and simplicity were just what we needed. The cottage is endearingly idiosyncratic and full of thoughtful touches. No general "English Country Cottages" regulation items, but everything well thought out.

• Sunday, 26th of July, 2015, Mikaela & Alex:
  

  Extremely relaxing weekend. Good homely feel and the White Horse pub is a must visit! We will be back to this little slice of heaven!

• Saturday, 4th of July, 2015, Rebecca:
  

  Wonderfully peaceful time. Beautiful setting, comfy beds and great customer service. Would have loved another night or two. Very restful.

• Friday, 25th of July, 2014, Patricia & Michael:
  

  Grove Cottages are that "something special". Soothing and calm when you need a break, a romantic special hideaway. Tastefully furnished throughout to the highest standard. We often stay in country cottages and at the first chance of a break, this easily comes top of the list - a class of it's own!

• Tuesday, 1st of July, 2014, Matt:
  

  Beautiful, tranquil, rustic, chic stay was all too short!

  A beautiful peaceful weekend in your gorgeous cottage – just what we needed.

• Thursday, 27th of March, 2014, Mary:
  

  Grove Cottages expect very high standards from the owners of cottages listed so you will not be disappointed with the cottage of your choice! They are so individual that choosing is very difficult!

• Sunday, 23rd of March, 2014, Elizabeth:
  

  Lovely spot – peaceful! Welcome basket most welcome! A plus for us was the bikes – made for a good trip on the quiet comfy loves.

• Monday, 20th of January, 2014, Fiona:
  

  An ideal place to listen inwards while walking or cycling among the flat green fields. Then very lovely to come back to the warm (heating is excellent), elaborately furnished and perfectly lit Rose Cottage. The old wooden floor, beautiful carpets, radio, candles and table lamps make the space very cosy. Ah and a great welcoming! Lovely place, lovely people.

• Saturday, 18th of January, 2014, Lettice:
  

  Not sure if we want too many people discovering this absolute gem! Rural bliss for everyone, dog, children and adults, NOT to be missed. Blazing fires in picture perfect countryside... The welcome basket and supplies were exceptional. A generous and thoughtful touch to make you feel at home and connected to the country, also very practical as we could only bring so much in the way of supplies. Log fires were a high spot AND having country walks straight from the front door was ideal with 3 children and a dog. The cottage is very well thought out and your hospitality with the bikes, animals and local knowledge really takes Grove Cottages into a league of its own.

• Friday, 3rd of January, 2014, Neil:
  

  A relaxing, restorative New Year break after a tough year – just what we needed!

• Monday, 30th of December, 2013, Natalie:
  

  Our second time staying here, we loved staying in The Bakery on our first visit, so thought we would bring the kids to stay for the Christmas season. Once again had a wonderful time, fire was going 10 minutes after arriving and didn’t stop the whole time. Fab. Although the cottage was a little small, it is perfectly formed for a lovely cosy stay. Thanks again. See you in the summer.

• Sunday, 8th of December, 2013, Panos & Gloria:

  Charming, well stocked cottage. Beautiful grounds and welcoming hosts. We will return for a longer stay next time!

• Friday, 4th of October, 2013, Margaret:

  Like walking into a Constable paining – our cottage was the perfect compliment to the idyllic Suffolk county selling surrounding it. Each morning we had our fire going and sat with our farm bread and bacon watching the ducks, moorhens and pageants gathering their own breakfast. One duck friend went missing for two days, only to reaper with 5 little ducklings in tow!

  Batteries charged for another 3 months! See you in February 2012. The only Olympic events I want to watch is 1) the high jump - which moorhen can get to the roof of the bird table 2) Sprint - which duck gets to the bread first and the marathon - how far can I walk on the footpaths before I hear a car or have anything disturb the tranquillity.

  I stumbled across Grove Cottages website whilst searching for a cottage in rural Suffolk. What a fantastic surprise - Gun Cottage is the most cosy and romatic cottage that you could wish for. We had a blissful weekend and hope to return. We were most appreciative that you allowed dogs into your beautiful cottage.

  Brilliant weekend - would love to move here !! Sad to be going!!

• Sunday, 28th of March, 2010, Gill :
  

  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!

• Saturday, 6th of March, 2010, Colin:

  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.

• Friday, 6th of November, 2009, Liz:
  

  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.

• Monday, 19th of October, 2009, Melissa:

• Friday, 13th of February, 2009, Adam:
  

  Gun Cottage far outweighed our expectations. It was the dream short break in every respect. This to us was how self-catering should be done. The accommodation was better than advertised. Please speak to our employer to give us more days off to visit you on a regular basis!

• Friday, 30th of January, 2009, Ed & Lisa:
