Lovely
The property was spacious and clean. The rooms were large and comfortable. The two bedrooms were warm and the kitchen was modern. The living room had two large sofa’s and a lovely round dining table. It was a nice touch to have wine and milk waiting for us when we arrived. The owner also introduced herself during our visit which was nice. The location was excellent, very quiet but also near to Sutton Hoo and the pleasant village of Melton. I highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay in this area of Suffolk
Very comfortable and cosy property to stay in. Well equipped and comfortable beds. Nice little enclosed area outside for the dog and walks directly from the property. We would definitely stay here again if visiting this area again.

Amazing stay - great location
The cottage is set in peaceful wooded location, it has lots of space and an enclosed outside area which was perfect for our pup. There is lots near by such as a gastro pub, unruly pig, lots of lovely walks, nearby fishing and golf too. Perfect for a UK get away so much so we have visted twice in 3 months and look forward to visiting again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Helen Shand

Host profile image
My name is Helen Shand and I and my husband Garrow bought Castle Farm in 1987. We are from suffolk farming stock and wanted our four children to have plenty of space to play in safety. Shearers cottage was at that time an old sheep shearing shed in our front garden and we felt it would make an ideal holiday cottage. That was 24 years ago and now Shearers Cottage has been extended and re-furbished to a very high standard. We are therefore on hand if our guests need anything.

Why they chose this property

We bought Castle Farm, a 50 acre farm, to have more space for Garrow's contracting business and for our children to have plenty of space for horses, cars, bikes and loads of fun! We love this part of Suffolk as there is so much to do, the varied countryside, with woods, beautiful coastline and wide open spaces to explore, has something for everyone.

What makes this property unique

Shearers Cottage has plenty of living space and beautiful surroundings while being close to lots of Suffolk's best amenities.
