Heart's Ease in Dallinghoo nr Woodbridge

Very satisfied with this characterful country cottage.

Pros: The cottage had lots of character and excellent linen and towels. The garden was very large and full of birds and rabbits. There was plenty of space for a large group of people with two reception rooms and a well stocked kitchen. There was an excellent library of books to choose from. There were umbrellas provided in the hall.

Cons: A bottle of kitchen cleaner would always be useful and it would have been nice to have hair and body wash provided plus a complimentary bottle of milk. Some venues do provide this. Also there was no mention of a hair dryer but I checked beforehand and brought my own.

Pros: Beautiful cottage. Me and my family fell in love with this place. We didn't want to leave.

It was idyllic. Even in February!

Pros: A wonderful situation in rural Suffolk but only 15 minutes from Woodbridge. Fantastic views, clear starry skies by night and perfect peace. It’s a house that feels like a home not a hotel and carries centuries of history. Lots of books, comfy beds.

Cons: Hot water in bath very slow to run (but fine in shower).

Perfect, very relaxing, couldn’t ask for more !

Pros: Stunning property, extremely clean would definitely stay there again !

Cons: Nothing !

Lovely, character property for a family holiday with dogs.

Pros: The Management Company were very helpful and responded to our requests for assistance courteously and promptly. They arranged for maintenance support to come to the cottage on the day after our arrival. I cannot fault the responsiveness of the Management Company. Top marks!

Cons: There were minor difficulties on arrival. A number of bulbs (more than half a dozen) around the cottage needed replacing including the hallway which is safety issue when your arrival time is 4pm and it's already dark. I don't think previous guests had been advising the management company of these issues! There was also a problem with the central heating upstairs but portable heaters had been left in the hallway for our use. We had use of an electric cooker but only one of the two ovens working. Cracked glass items left in the cupboards from previous visitors - again, I assume unreported. Not the smooth start to our break that we had hoped.

Pros: A really good layout and use of space, particularly useful to have a little office nook for anyone needing to work whilst away. The garden was lovely, if a little uneven underfoot, just be aware if you aren't too steady on your feet. All beds were very comfortable, and there was lots of storage space for clothes and other belongings. Appliances were all well maintained and easy to use. Overall, a very comfortable and characterful property.

Cons: Not the most accessible property for the more senior members of our party. Some of the uneven floors were a little tricky to navigate, and it might be advisable to mention that those with mobility or sight issues might find the property unsuitable.

A great place

Pros: Instantly soothes the soul. Comfy and had everything we needed.

Pros: Very spacious cottage and great location. Beds were very comfortable. Will definitely go again.

Relaxing and peaceful stay within easy reach of the coast.

Pros: Well appointed house with lovely secluded garden. There are some areas in the garden that are shaded with the trees. Such a peaceful environment with just the occasional rumble of a passing tractor.

Cons: Lack of a parasol for dining outside and no BBQ was a real shame.

Pros: The cottage was lovely , lots of space, clean, nice big garden.

Cons: The heaters did not work and the cottage was cold until we got some logs and lit the fires. Toilet leaked in upstairs bathroom floor was wet.
