Lovely cottage, beautiful location, dog walkers paradise with added bonus of lovely cafe very near to hand. Very well situated for lovely tourists spots e.g. Ickworth, West Stow country park and further afield. Would highly recommend.

We loved staying at Gardeners Cottage, it s perfect for exploring such a beautiful area and so many things to do there on site and Ickworth is close by too. We hired bikes for the day there and loved it. Coffee machine is a filter machine not a Nespresso machine which was a shame. Beds comfortable, all very clean, would certainly return.

We had a lovely long weekend staying in the cottage with the family. The location was perfect for us having the dog. She loved the garden and being able to walk in Nowton Park. The dining room was brilliant for our evening board games plus a big roast dinner. We would absolutely recommend the cottage to anyone.
