Wonderful house
We really enjoyed our stay at this thatched house near Bury St.Edmunds and we found so much to do in the area that our week-long stay passed very quickly. We particularly enjoyed the comfortable bed and the perfect garden, enjoying several meals at the outside table. An very unusual place that we were fascinated by was Grimes Graves, a Neolithic flint mine.

Wonderful Property
What more could you ask for! Stunning property with everything you could need. Bedding and towels were luxurious, open fire made the living area very cosy, the garden was great for the children to play in -as was the green opposite the cottage. Tracy was extremely helpful throughout. We will definitely be back.

Great stay
An excellent place to stay to explore the area. The property is well equipped and spotless. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Lovely welcome basket on arrival which was great after our long journey. We could buy fresh eggs every morning, which was a treat!

Beautiful Cottage In A Peaceful Village
Set in a quiet peaceful village with beautiful garden and a variety of sitting out areas yet only 5 miles out of historic Bury. Good on drive parking. When entering the cottage it was clear how well kept the cottage is and how clean clearly keeping to COVID guidelines. There was a welcome basket in the kitchen and various information sent before arrival. The map of West Stow Country Park very helpful. It is also well worth visiting Fuller Mill garden. The latter 2 are quite near the cottage. Please be aware that there is a steep step in the bathroom before getting to bath and toilet and a steep step into the lounge. There is a large twin room upstairs, double is on ground floor. However, you need to be quite agile to use the stairs.

Beautifully decorated thatched roof cottage
A lovely cottage mixing the traditional with the modern. A lovely welcome basket with bread, milk, cereals & homemade delicious jam. Kitchen had plenty of pots & pans as well as plates, glasses etc. Beds were very comfortable & our son loved his bedroom which was under the “ thatch” & accessed via a narrow, steep spiral staircase. Very quiet & lovely to sit in the backyard in the afternoon & listen to the birds.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location!
This cottage served as a great base of operations for a short holiday exploring Bury and its surroundings. Our boys loved the twin beds in the roof and the space for play on the landing outside, though two adults might feel a little cramped in the same space. There was plenty of space in the living area and kitchen and all you could need for self catering, even sharp knives! The back garden was beautiful, it was a shame we couldn't spend more time out there due to the weather. Highly recommended :-)

Classic, charming and delightful
Tracy's cottage is a charming example of English country cottage, updated just enough (but not too much.) The important things are modern: heating, kitchen, clothes washing, bathroom. And the important parts are classic: thatched roof, cottage interior. A lovely location on Flempton green within easy drive of our favorite places around Bury.
