Lovely stay at this unique, characterful, comfortable property. Walks from the door and plenty of wildlife, saw a barn Owl every evening doing his hunting! And deer in the garden. It made our week. We and our dog loved the Walk through fields to the village with lovely pub, shop and beautiful church. To make it absolutely perfect we’d suggest a door on the shower instead of a curtain. Very generous welcome basket. Highly recommended this property for nature lovers and bird watchers and Suffolk is a beautiful county !

Lovely village and location but cleanliness could be improved especially kitchen stuff. Feels like it needs a deep clean.

We had a wonderful week at the Pump House.The location was perfect and plenty of wildlife.The Pump House was quite quirky with propeller type steps up to the Mezzanine and everything in keeping with the original building.We decided to be self catering, we would say the kitchen dishes were not very clean and had to scrub two saucepans and bought foil for the oven dish as it looked like it had not been cleaned properly by the previous occupants, however it did not detract from the overall stay at all, this was just an observation.When we arrived we were met with some lovely cake,biscuits,bottle of wine and cornflakes.We were suitably impressed.Thank you Hollie and Charlie, we would stay here again.

We had short 3 night break but wished we had stayed longer. The Pump house has been beautifully restored into a lovely holiday cottage and had everything we needed. We did a number of long walks directly from the cottage as there were number of public foot path so close. Our dog loved the garden and the river ( typical Labrador ). The pub is in easy walking distance. There is a fantastic information book in the cottage, with all the info you need to enjoy the area.Perfect break just what we needed. Thank you.

Fantastic location and comfortable base for us and the two dogs. Good clear walking and friendly local pubs. Ground source heating was brilliant and the Pump House was always warm to return to. It was a very easy and relaxing place to stay
