The Old Pottery

We stayed here for three nights and wished we had booked for longer. The setting is idyllic and The Old Pottery is unique. It is a historical building but with all the home comforts you could wish for. Sarah, the owner, is a delightful lady who made us feel very welcome and provided a starter pack for our breakfast. Her lovely black cat, Marmite, was also very friendly. The beds were comfortable and the courtyard was ideal for relaxing. Two minutes walk away is The Peacock where we had a terrific evening meal. We recommend The Old Pottery unreservedly. We will certainly stay here again.

We loved staying in the Old Pottery at the Grange in the charming village of Chelsworth. The cottage was warm and comfortable and beautifully decorated. I had no idea there were so many things to do in the area. Sutton Hoo was definitely a highlight and then fish and chips afterwards at Dunwich, make sure you arrive before it closes at 3pm. Melford Hall is well worth a visit at Long Melford, the church is beautiful and there are very good antique shops. Lavenham, Flatford Mill, there are endless places to visit in the area.

We had a much needed break in this cosy characterful annex to The Grange. A change in the weather meant the underfloor heating was most welcome on our return from walks around Southwold and Walberswick. The local pub,The Peacock, served up a delicious welcome supper and a generous Sunday lunch - so lovely to have a pub a stone's throw away. Sarah, our hhost, was so welcoming but also low key, so we felt like we had the place to ourselves. Local walks to villages like Bildeston with wonderful big skies were much enjoyed and East Ruston Old Vicarage Garden near Norwich was well worth a visit.

What a lovely place to stay. They have thought of everything, from the kitchen to the little touches all over the house making the stay feel unique and special. The bedrooms are spacious, comfortable and sunny. The sitting room has books and plenty of toys for the younger ones. The garden is an absolute delight with fields to one side, the village church near by and peace and quiet in abundance.
