A beautiful cottage in a lovely location
The cottage is in a great location and is beautiful, a great deal of thought has gone into the furnishing and decor. The owners who live next door are very helpful but not intrusive.

A Pleasant Stay
The Dove House is easily found a few hundred yards off the A1071 and there is parking right outside the apartment. On arrival our host Jonathan had kindly put lights on to welcome us and there was a basket of milk, eggs, wine, biscuits etc. The Dove House is spacious, well designed, well equipped, warm and tastefully decorated. It would be hard to image a more pleasant place to stay.

Second time we have stayed here and we will be back
My partner Claire is writing this We fell in love with this place when we first came in April. It is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated with a really cosy feel. Everything you need has been taken care of. It is new and clean. Lots of information about where to go and what to see. A nice secluded private outdoor space (much more private in the Summer). It feels luxurious. The bed is absolutely huge. We love it here.

Rural comfort in The Dove House.
A well equipped and comfortable property, stylish and beautifully decorated. Could do with a larger fridge / freezer. Idyllic cottages very well run by Charlie Allsop. Owner nearby helpful and friendly yet unobtrusive. Situation excellent if you want a rural position, central to many South Suffolk / North Essex destinations yet shops (in Hadleigh) 7 mins. drive away or in Sudbury a little further. We had a lovely stay and will return next year.

Absolutely perfect
Stayed here for 5 nights after arriving from Australia jet lagged. We couldn’t have been more comfortable. The cottage was presented in immaculate condition and has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Best of all, the king bed was super comfortable and the location is extremely quiet, enabling us to recover from our long haul flight very quickly. Kitchen has just about everything you need, lounge room is spacious and comfortable, large TV with Netflix ect and Wi-Fi is fast and reliable. In fact this place is just as good if not better than the website pics. All the furnishings are stylish and of good quality. We were also very happy with Idyllic Cottages. Their booking process and communication was upfront and reliable. We had no problem booking from Australia.
