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.

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.
