Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Rural Idyll A lovely place - the sort of house and garden you might see on Springwatch. Rubblestone Cottage adjoins the main farmhouse, and is a completely self-contained place with 2 bedrooms, bathroom, lounge and kitchen. Spotlessly clean, well appointed kitchen with everything you need for a stay - and a really nice welcome from Caroline, with fresh milk in fridge and biscuits on the table when we arrived.The house is only 10 minutes drive from Saxmundham, but feels like a world away - all you can hear is birds, insects and now and again a very distant train. Amazing to sit on the front patio, overlooking hay meadows, listening to grasshoppers and watching green woodpeckers and other wildlife in the garden. Perfectly placed for Dunwich, RSPB Minsmere, Southwold, Aldburgh and Walberswick. Definitely somewhere we'd like to visit again. Thanks for a great stay Caroline! ##### Nigel B.

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. ##### Emma D. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul B.

We wished it could have been longer. The house is lovely, quaint, clean and quiet. We really enjoyed the quietness of the area and lack of road noise. There is very little light pollution so the skies at night were spectacular. There are beautiful old trees and a fantastic meadow in front of the property teaming with butterflies. The owners are really lovely and couldn’t have done more to make our stay better.. thank you so much. We’ll be back! ##### Paul B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew W.

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. ##### Andrew W. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul R.

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. ##### Paul R. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jade B. Jun 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful short stay We stayed 2 nights in the cottage with our 2 children. We cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped with just the right amount of things you might need during your stay. The welcome basket of teas and biscuits etc is a lovely touch. The grounds are beautiful and very peaceful. We had a 2 year old with us so we requested a stair-gate for the top of the stairs which was provided. It’s not actually a gate but a piece of wood which fixes to the wall but it does the job. We brought our own bed guard with us which wasn’t the end of the world but would be nice if one could have been provided. Not a game changer though. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay here and will definitely look to stay again. Many thanks ##### Jade B. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Viet Anh H. Aug 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful and relaxing stay. We stayed as a family of 4 with two kids aged 6 and 9\. The location was perfect for us to reach areas we wanted to visit without having to drive more than 30 minutes. Southwold was a highlight and we enjoyed a delightful dinner at the Boarding House in Halesworth. Orford Quay was also brilliant and Caroline was so kind as to share a crabbing line and net so our boys could spend a morning crabbing on the quay. There was a day where we had poor weather but that didn’t dampen our spirits and we spent it playing board games and puzzles available in the cottage. An 8 minute drive got us into Saxmundham for a takeaway, and at the Pinch Cafe down the road you could pick up some delicious dessert pastries and coffee. The garden was very relaxing and we exercised here and played football when the sun came out. Communication with Caroline was excellent. We needed to adjust our stay due to work and was able to do this with ease. We can understand why there are so many repeat visitors! We hope to be one of them too. Thanks for the warm welcome Caroline. It was so lovely to spend time in such a beautiful part of the country and decompress from London life if only for a few days. ##### Viet Anh H.
