Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Hidden Gem
We stayed for a stag do over a weekend and booked the whole place. Julie was really helpful and emailed over a lot of information as we were arriving later on. The place was amazing, perfect for what we wanted and everyone was blown away! Julie also gave us information to book additional activities such as football darts and an inflatable assault course, which was put up seamlessly on Saturday morning. I would thoroughly recommend booking Suffolk Retreats. Thank you so much.

Great place for a party!
I had an excellent stag do here. The accommodation was fantastic and the amenities were a huge highlight, including the multiple hot tubs, sauna, and fully kitted-out games room. We had a great experience dealing with Julie and Brian, and we would definitely consider coming back for a future Birthday party!

Blow away
Where do I start. So my amazing friends and family booked this for my hen do and it was above and beyond what I would ever have expected. Speechless from when I arrived to when I left. The rooms where like a 5* plus hotel and we have everything we needed and more. The hosts left us alone and they didn't batter an eye lid with the noise/carnage. A beautiful setting and the pub was a small walk away. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much for making my hen do truly amazing. I will defo be back xx

A dream came true.
A family Christmas, meeting with son, daughters, their partners and grandchildren , our wonderful "patchwork" family able to spend this special time together. The accommodation had everything you could want and more, the children absolutely loved the hot tub, they enjoyed table tennis and the freedom that this property provides. As for the grounds well, if the weather had been different we would have spent a lot more time outside; a lake & stream, woodland walk, swans, peacocks and deer, superb. This property needs to be seen to appreciate it, we would not hesitate to recommend it.

Great Hen do
We very much enjoyed our stay. The grounds are beautiful and the location is stunning. The house has every you would need. The games room and hot tub area are great. The disco lights give it a real party vibe. This is the first self catering house I have stayed in which provides the basics you need which is an extra bonus. The pictures do not do it justice. Julie was a available to answers all my questions before our trip and Brian was on hand during our stay fo answer any questions.

Just Amazing!
We had a cracking time! We booked the granary for my mother in laws 50th Birthday and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. There just isn’t a single thing that wasn’t thought about we had everything we needed from the kitchen to the games in the playroom to the hairdryer in the bedroom it was just brilliant! Th property is Very well set out and ideal for family gatherings! We are super glad we booked the hot tub for usage over our stay it just put the icing on top of the cake! Unfortunately Christmas and New Years are already booked as we would have booked straight away! Super clean, perfect set up just amazing if I could rate 11 out of 10 I would!

Chill out
Spent 4 days in the 2 man 🛖 yurt we found it to be comfortable and clean . Wood burner if it got chilly with wood on site. Shower and toilet block across the way we’re clean with good supply of hot water . We felt very relaxed sitting by our yurt and the water where the black swans would come to say hello . There were some other animals to be seen a peacock some goats plenty of birds and the occasional squirrel. Plenty of food to be had near by at public houses the plough very close good food and great views all in all a great short break
