Caution. On arrival the unit was locked. We were not given codes/passwords. The telephone numbers we were given went to voice mail. There is also no reception in the area so normal phones do not work so you can’t call the number. Fortunately we found a neighbour who allowed us to use their WiFi. A helpless situation. You’re left in the middle of know where with no access to emergency number.

A great holiday property in a great location especially for wild life lovers, or a great introduction to wild life. A place to recommend your friends to stay Good food at the Guinness Arms and at the cafe at the Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds.

The cottage was part of a small gated complex. It was mid terrace and located a few miles out of Bury St Edmunds. There was a wildlife reserve and beautiful walks all around the property which were amazing if you enjoy these activities. The property was cosy, comfortable and had most things you would need for a self catering break. We enjoyed the ease of parking by the cottage and pretty grounds full of birds.

Lovely accommodation, spacious, warm and very comfortable. Beds were also very comfortable. My only negative comment is about the road condition from the main road down to the cottages - lots of large potholes with parts of the road in very poor condition.

Beautiful accommodation very well equipped and presented. Set in a stunning location. We were very pleased to have selected Lackford Lakes Barns. Will visit again.

I absolutely loved our stay! It was very comfortable and felt like home. The only thing I could not figure out was the heater/towel rack in the bathroom was not turning on. There was fresh milk in the fridge for coffee or tea (both were provided with sugar) and biscuits (cookies). The kitchen was stocked with plates, pots and pans, utensils, everything we needed to prepare and eat a meal. Each room has its own bathroom, which is great when you have teenagers. The beds were very comfortable. We will definitely stay again the next time we visit!

lovely accommodation. relaxing stay.

We staid in the Holm Oak Barn, this is a very roomy place. The bedrooms are quite large and have a plenty of root to maneuver around. There’s a bathtub in one room, a standing shower in another and a handicap bathroom in the master bedroom. The beds are comfortable and pleasant to sleep in. The kitchen has all the pots & pans you would need, with plenty of utensils. The location is certainly located to a few towns and makes it easy to run out for food and groceries. We had a few improvements suggestions: there were dead bugs on the counter and floor, the furniture is dated and well worn, the bench on the patio wasn’t usable due dry wood and spiders.

The pictures do it no justice! The place is huge and has everything that you would need. We were very comfortable and it felt like home! We will definitely be visiting again!

Comfortable, well equipped and clean

Great accommodation which had all the amenities we needed. It’s in a quiet safe location so we slept well.

This place is fabulous, I had Curlew Cottage for a few nights in January and I will definitely use it again. It’s very cheap for what you get and the facilities include a large bathroom, a great kitchen, a large comfy sitting room and two bedrooms. The lady running the show is also very friendly so get booking now! It’s very rural and quiet but I didn’t get chance to walk around the lakes as the weather wasn’t great.

This is my fourth or fifth visit. Everything was great as usual. My daughter who’s a bit of a chef Found the cooker and the cooking utensils a bit of a challenge - The oven needs looking at I think. Thanks for being the same, reliable !

Quiet and cozy with very nice walking nearby.

Lovely stay for us. Great to be able to book a nice holiday cottage for non routine dates rather than the usual Saturday to Saturday or Friday to Friday only. We stayed Saturday to Tuesday which was perfect for us. A very spacious cottage. Rustic rather than modern but clean, tidy and lots to do inside and out. Will definitely go back.

Fantastic and beautiful! :)

Great location with plenty of easy to reach things to do. Lackford Lakes wildlife park very good and on your doorstep. Plenty of good restaurants within close proximity.

Overall it's a lovely property, let down by the cleanliness on arrival. Emergency no. we were given was not picked up. So there were many dead flies (some squashed on blinds), clearly not hoovered (chocolate button, crumbs and flies on the floor) Also more worrying, a tablet left on the bedroom dressing table on dish. Thankfully we didn't have children with us! We sent an email on Saturday as no answer on phone, the reply came Sunday evening, saying house keeper would resolve Monday, no real attempt made, someone did come on Thursday even though we said pointless as leaving Friday. Allegedly enhanced cleaning for Covid and hence late check in's - hmmm really?? Soured the stay

We enjoyed a lovely short break (4 nights) at Lackford Lakes Barns,wonderfully located adjacent to a nature reserve and close to the amenities of Bury St Edmunds (about 5 miles away). The cottage was very well equipped but was showing a few signs of wear and tear.

Fantastic short stay , the cottage had everything needed was very comfortable and warm. WiFi excellent. Very quiet area alongside the Nature Reserve. Very highly recommend a stay there.
