Liked: Such a peaceful retreat. Lovely location. Perfect spot for reaching places of interest in Suffolk. Hosts, Rachael and Guy, were on hand but not intrusive. We are already thinking of how we can visit again next year. Strongly recommended.

Liked: Lovely secluded location with everything you need in the tent, shower room and kitchen area to ensure you have a peaceful and relaxing time. Comfortable bed, bedding and towels provided. Good instructions and treats left by the hosts. Outdoor lighting was very pretty and effective. Would go again! Also the Turkish Restaurant (Cappadocia) nearby was recommended by the hosts and was really lovely food.
Disliked: Wooden walkway could be slippery when wet. You may need something to stand on to reach the kitchen sink as we found it was slightly too high up for us.
