Faith Cottage in Bury Saint Edmunds

"This Chocolate Box cottage is as lovely as the photo. Cosy, yet spacious rooms with tasteful decor, very comfy beds and large kitchen with every utensil you would ever need. Very large gardens with trees and lovely countryside views. Well placed for Bury St Edmunds, which is a very nice town just a few miles away with good shops and a very interesting Abbey and grounds. Close to lovely Suffolk villages like historic Lavenham and Constable country of Dedham and Flatford. You will not be disappointed with Faith Cottage - a perfect place for a peaceful and very interesting holiday. The owners have worked very hard to get it to this standard, all credit to them. Great place to stay!"

"We have been here many times, both in the winter and the summer. This has been a refreshing haven for us both as a couple and with our two children. In the Summer you can really appreciate the grounds and in the winter its great to curl up with the warmth of a log fire. Carol and Colin help make your visit easy and relaxing as they present this in perfect condition with all stocked crockery and cooking facilities. The local woodland area, just a walk down the lane this all adds to the Charm and beauty of Smallwood Green. We totally recommend this cottage for relaxing and refreshing the soul as a break from all our busy lives."

"We are just returning from an amazing 2 weeks at Faith COTTAGE. Not only does it look beautiful but inside it is so well equipped. Carol and Colin have spent a long time making this cottage so special for our holidays. Everywhere you look there are fields and lovely views. Perhaps one thing I should mention that we needed to go out in the car every day as the nearest pub and shop were about 1.5 miles away . However there were great places to visit...Lavenham, Suffolk Owl Sanctuary with crazy golf, Bury St Edmunds itself, Ipswich, Norwich, Banham Zoo, Kentwell Hall and Gardens and so on....... But you will thoroughly feel at home at Faith COTTAGE. THOROUGHLY RECOMMENDED."
