Udder Cottage - Wonderful long weekend. Thanks to Chris and David for being great hosts. The cottage is fabulous and much thought around the little details, such as the Forgotten Basket.
Both of our dogs loved seeing Molly and Mumbles and were made very welcome.
The resturants recommended - The Swan at Hoxne and The Four Horseshoes, Thornham were very dog friendly and the food was excellent.

Thank you for a fabulous weekend, Udder Cottage was perfect and so relaxing. We had such a lovely break, we visited Aldeburgh and Thorpeness which were 45 mins away and well worth a visit. We will definitely be returning later in the year. Meeting Mumbles and Molly was also a highlight of the weekend.

Exceptionally well appointed cottage with every modern convenience. Chris and David have thought of everything one needs for a relaxing break.

Mr and Mrs Flitcroft, 

Udder Cottage is a delight ! there was everything we needed and more - for the dogs too. Sadly our stay coincided with a blanket of fog and drizzle so we didnt see much of the glorious ( apparently ! ) Suffolk countryside. A return visit is a must. The dog bath was very useful for 12 muddy paws - a great addition. Thank you Chris and David - I am sure we will be back. In fact we will look at dates when we get home ! Happy New Year and thank you again.

We have had a wonderful relaxing 3 day stay at Udder cottage. Chris and David are fabulous hosts who made us feel very welcome. The attention to detail inside the cottage is stunning, everything you could possibly need to enhance your stay. The comfortable super king size bed, fluffy towels and the forgotten basket just enhance your stay. The welcome hamper was delicious and so nice that it was from the local butchers. Rosie enjoyed her treats too and loved making friends with Molly and Mumbles through the fence. We would highly recommend the Fox and Goose resturant, the menu is mouth watering, the staff attentive and the food absolutely delcious and we cant wait to stay again.

10 days in Udder cottage, me,Indie and Riley ( hubby had to work). We have had a fab time, walking and relaxing in this lovely cottage. It has everything you need and we took advantage of the NEW dog shower and laundry room. The great big bed is so comfy and everything is so quiet, I did not want to get up. We have had great weather and between the walks direct from the cottage ( thank you David for the maps). We have been exploring the many country parks in both Suffolk and Norfolk. Brandon Country Park was a favourite and only £3 to park. Dunwich Health and beach was another amazing place to walk. A gem of a find for a great holiday, Chris and David were fantastic hosts and Molly and Mumbles with thier morning visits to the fence. We very much hope to return.

Michelle, Indie and Riley , 

What a wonderful time we have had the cottage is beautifully decorated and all the extras - welcome food for adults, welcome basket for the dogs and all the extra little bits left out for us were lovely to see. Bailey particularly loved his "zoomies" in the front drive and loved relaxing in the garden. We ate at The Good, Bad and the Hungry, amazing location and food. The Swan Inn, Hoxne - again lovely. Kam Moon - Chinese takeaway Harleston. Eye fish and chips " well worth the drive" Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Had the most amazing and relaxed long weekend in the Udder Cottage.
It is situated in a beautiful location and the views are lovely, there is plenty to do and see around, lots of country walks and only a short drive to the coast.
The cottage itself is impeccably decorated and has lots of luxury touches, it has everything you could need for a short or long stay.
Myself and my partner really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to visit again soon. Thank you!

Laura Marinelli , 
Udder Cottage

What a beautiful cottage.

The decor was stunning - you can see how much time and love was put into creating this lovely getaway. Modern but also cosy and homely. The HUGE bed and the breathtaking view was a bonus!

It’s situated in a lovely village which is in a perfect location for visiting nearby towns, such as Southwold! There’s also shops in the village or a short drive away. You can’t go wrong.

Chris & David were so so lovely, they gave us space but also made it clear if there was anything we needed they’d be on hand.

We had such an amazing weekend and can’t wait to go back again in summer and enjoy the beautiful countryside!

Thank you :) x

Joe & Luci,

I had a wonderful stay in Udder Cottage for 2-nights, with my Golden Retriever! The cottage itself was well laid out, spotlessly clean, the bed was extremely comfortable and views from the enclosed garden were amazing!

If you stay, you must sit out on a clear night to look at the stars!

Very dog friendly area, we walked to a local cafè for breakfast, which had an enclosed dog field too! Then took a trip to Southwold beach.

Thank you Chris and David, I’m looking forward to staying with you again! x
