Clean and well-equipped with all amenities. Very comfortable and quiet. A nice south-facing patio area to enjoy the warm sun. Near enough to the nearest town to make shopping easy but very much a rural spot with some narrow country roads to navigate. Perfect location for us as birdwatchers, being not far from Minsmere but good for the coast too.

Perfect cottage to watch spring unfold, set in beautiful Suffolk countryside. Good base for easy drive to the sea or Forrest. The house was super clean and well appointed with all amenities, good kitchen with all equipment plus appreciated the hairdryer and mirror next to electrical socket. Thoughtful and caring vibe, comfortable and a perfect hideaway from the city. Thank you.

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!

Six nights at Rubblestone Cottage

The cottage is very clean, tidy and cosy, it was perfect for our needs. The garden is beautiful and I loved an early morning coffee outside with the moorhens. Our host, Caroline was friendly and very helpful, her parents at the main house were great too! I would definitely recommend staying here, the peace and quiet is wonderful, I'd hope to visit again.

A delightful return to East Suffolk

In our brief visit we enjoyed two concerts at Snape Maltings, visits to Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, and Orford for a wonderful fish lunch at Pinney's.Rubblestone Cottage was an ideal base and everything possible seemed to have been thought of to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Perfect little cottage for my friend and I to stay whilst meeting another friend. Very welcome "welcome" pack and everything just right for us. Perfect location for visiting various places in the area. Nice to chat to Frank and Hilda and get the history of the farm. Lovely listening to the birdsong and the weather was perfect. Thank you so much

Really relaxing stay, surrounded by green and birdsong.

The property is as described small but perfect for 4 people. Although it is in the middle of farm land it is reassuring to know there are neighbours in the main house. Was very impressed with all the little thoughtful touches eg the welcome sign and tea / coffee / biscuits basket, the cooking oil and salt amd people , thr cute little make up clothes and the auto lights on stairs and by loo. We stayed 4 nights and were exploring Suffolk but could have easily had a day or 3 just sitting sipping wine /tea on the outdoor table watching the landscape. All nicely decorated and got the balance of being homely while avoiding the OMG don't break that worry of some properties esp. with kids in tow. We found the bed a little smaller / shorter than we are used to but after the first night it was fine. Really impressed with the thought put into kitchen equipmemt etc as everything you could possibly want and more was there..We woyld defintely return if in area. Would suggest a slightly bigger sign at the turning and if having non UK quests some instructions for the shower as they are a real British thing. We had read moans

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.
