A really lovely, cosy, very beautifully renovated space. Small but very functional and well thought through. Tucked in behind the main house, so just a little traffic noise in the day and absolutely quiet at night. Make sure you follow well described instructions on how to get to private parking area right by cottage.

We had a thick duvet on the bed when it was 25 degrees outside, all good when we took the duvet out of the cover.

The cottage was really comfortable and we felt at home as soon as we arrived. We had bottles of wine, tea, jams, milk and biscuits to welcome us. The bathroom was great. We both woke up feeling great.

It was a little hard to find the car park, but got there in the end.

I was only there for a single night, but the place was scrupulously clean, there were a couple of snacks and the makings for Tea and Coffee, an actual Roll Top Bath and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I love the original features of the cottage that had been preserved and place the place a real character. Kind of wish I had to stay longer but if i'm coming back to the area for work again I will actively try to stay here again.

No walk in shower, but then it wouldn’t have fit with the style anyway.

It was really cosy and clean.

I liked everything!

Tucked away and cozy, this felt like the perfect private hideaway. I loved the bathtub and the yellow wallpaper!

Maybe a shower curtain would be a good idea? The roll top bath in the big bathroom was fantastic but it was difficult not to get the floor wet when using the shower. A small bottle of shower gel would also be a bonus as I thought this would be provided, luckily I had a small bar of soap in my wash bag! These are very, very minor criticisms though and I have only highlighted these to help make a great cottage fantastic and they should not detract from what is a lovely place to stay. I would 100% stay here again, it was great.

A lovely little cottage in great surroundings to stay in with a little patio at the front to enjoy breakfast. The owners were very understanding of my difficult travel arrangements due to the very poor weather and my late arrival. Communication was excellent. The cottage provided a very warm welcome after a five hour journey on a classic motorcycle with tea and chocolate biscuits to greet me on my arrival. A very big bonus was the litre of milk, cereal and porridge provided for breakfast. The bed was very comfortable and the whole place was cosy.

Not a dislike… a point to note is the door was a little difficult to open!

Lovely self contained cottage… excellent communication with detailed instructions for finding the property. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The owner provided some milk, orange juice and some breakfast items which was a lovely touch. We only stayed very briefly (bed for the night) but would have no hesitation in staying here again.

Absolutely nothing.

The cottage exceeded my expectations. It’s so cute. Really cosy - I could literally live there. Beautifully decorated and furnished with lovely touches like a continental breakfast bag and bathroom things. Absolutely loved it.

Under the drainer was full of crumbs and the honey and jam were already opened and used

Loved the bathroom and the cuteness of the place

You’ll need a torch to find your way through the path at night.

Lovely decor, such a sweet little mini apartment with a kitchen and big bathroom.

Gorgeous little bolt hole

We would have loved a coffee press.

Really lovely cottage. It was cool indoors during a baking hot summer and there was a comfortable outdoor seating area.

Stayed in September 2023

We wish that we could have stayed longer.

It was perfect- quirky, comfortable. We will definitely stay there again. The bed was very comfortable. We loved the thoughtful treats in the kitchen. The bathroom was also WOW! The garden path had the most beautiful scented plants and flowers. The owner is friendly, interesting and helpful.

Stayed in July 2023

We could not get the TV to work but we were in and out and did not ask for help. If we were in the room longer we would’ve asked for help.

Location, thoughtfulness, decor, warmth friendly welcome.

There was no iron and it got quite cold in the evening

Super comfortable bed. There were some food items in the kitchen that was a lovely touch and there was lots of tea and coffee

Stayed in March 2023

The bath is a bit tricky (as you can only really have a bath) but that is also made clear in the photos - so there's no surprises.

Bed was really comfortable and it was just a super cute place. A great pub a short walk away for dinner!

The cottage was so welcoming, its warm and cosy with lots of light and is so cheery with the yellow running throughout the cottage. There were some welcome supplies to welcome us after a long drive. The attention to detail is lovely and I would highly recomend a stay here. Bed is super comfy, lots of extra snuggly blankets too. The roll top bath is gorgeous too. Thank you so much for offering such a beautiful space for our mini trip to Suffolk, was the perfect location., will be lovely to come back again and explore more of Suffolk and use the cottage as a base again, Many thanks indeed, Francesca

Nothing we didn't like, we'll stay again for sure.

Its the second stay at Barkwith as we loved it so much last time. Really cosy little place, love the decor and style of the place. Also really impressed with the little extras, breakfast, milk, shampoos etc.
