Beautiful 4 Star Rural Suffolk Cottage Overlooking Lake

Lake View was converted in June 2010 from our stables to the highest of standards being awarded 4 stars by the English tourist board and with great reviews. Kiln Farm has the Mary Ley Line running through the grounds, for anyone interested in ancient pathways. The cottage has every modern convenience, with the added benefit of 2 games rooms for guests "sole use". One with pool table (£1 coin slot) and table top football and other small outdoor games, plus a library with adult and children books. The other has table tennis and darts. We also have a small carp fishing lake. We have a 3 hole chipping green and golf clubs supplied. Our chickens roam freely with their young in summer as do the ducks and their ducklings. We have visiting Canadian and Egyptian geese at certain times of year, which have been known to nest on our small lake island. One well behaved dog welcome (small extra charge paid on arrival) must book in advance as rugs removed and different bedding, but must be kept on lead and can be walked around lake walkway. Small enclosed garden with French windows from lounge and en-suite bedroom. Garden table with chairs. barbecue and loungers also available from our fishing hut. Walks abundant from doorstep. Pub nearby, dogs welcome. Home made bread and fresh eggs. Internet in cottage.

Fab place to relax after a day exploring
There is everything you need at this lovely accommodation. Jean is very welcoming & happy to help with any queries. It is so nice to be able to enjoy the large garden area, with the lake and additional small buildings with books, games etc. We could definitely have stayed a lot longer, it is so tranquil.

This is a really lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need in the property. It is very well maintained and the welcome pack of homemade bread and jam, eggs ,orange juice and crisps was delicious. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. Jean and Brian are really good hosts and we would look at retuning in the future.

Great restful countryside getaway
The accommodation was perfect, the hosts have thought of everything. We packed a lot of things that we did not need as so much is provided. There is a radio in the kitchen, large tv and dvd in the lounge along with a huge selection of dvds. There are information folders listing everything from churches to pubs. We tested a few of the pubs and they were great. Diss is a short drive away, with excellent butchers and main supermarkets. Handy for using the BBQ’s on site. The grounds are amazing and plenty of fish to catch on the private lake. The welcome pack was lovely with home made bread and fresh eggs from then chickens on the farm. The facilities go way over what is mentioned on my review. Well worth a visit and we would to return.

A super holiday home in a wonderful setting
The property was exactly as described - better in fact. Very well equipped and presented and extremely clean. Little extras such as free toiletries, cleaning materials and the welcome basket of home-made and home-grown goodies were lovely surprises. The cottage is very private, with lovely views of the lake and direct access into the substantial and very attractive grounds. Jean and Brian are friendly and helpful hosts which added to our "5 star" experience.

Everything thought of!
We knew within the first hour that we would be awarding 5 stars for Jean's property. Everything seems to have been thought of. From the welcome goodies of home made fresh bread and home made jam, to the dog treats for our little fur babies! The accommodation was spotless and of a very high standard. Very comfortable and a perfect location to relax in the peaceful surroundings while enjoying the view of the lake and watching the wildlife. The extra facilities in the outbuildings are a bonus and show how much thought has gone into making visitors stays even more fun. Our round of pitch and put was hilarious and wouldn't have had Tiger Woods feeling worried! Jean and her husband were very helpful and obliging. Would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone.

Fantastic Anniversary Weekend - A Perfect Getaway!
We booked Lake View a while ago having discovered it on Homeaway - it looked like an ideal location to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our good friends. It certainly lived up to, even exceeded, our expectations. Jean made us very welcome and there were special touches like an anniversary welcome card, prosecco, home made bread and jam etc. Lake View is a 'home from home' with no detail overlooked. The accommodation is spotlessly clean, with hand sanitiser at the entrance. The men enjoyed the fishing in the lake, the ladies particularly enjoyed the summer house overlooking the lake! The Nissan huts were brilliant - we used the pool table and the fishing equipment. Overall, an idyllic weekend in lovely surroundings!
