"Just back from a wonderful stay at Old Hall Farm House. The property was a fantastic base for 3 families with young children. They loved playing in the garden and having access to the Maize Maze for the week was a real bonus. We had lots of wonderful trips out to Southwold, ROARR, Africa Alive and the East Anglia Transport Museum. The house was very clean and comfortable and we would definitely recommend" - Pam Knight

A substantial former farmhouse, this Suffolk retreat makes an outstanding base for a family holiday. Sleeping up to 10 guests, the six-bedroom, pet-friendly property is set in farmland grounds next to neighbouring Southwold Maize Maze, in Reydon, 2 miles from the coastal town of Southwold. Make the most of the complimentary entry to the maze when it is open, take the children to the play park and enjoy the wildlife walks available across the site. Head into town to spend time on the sandy beach, go crabbing from the quay and stroll along the pier, with its unusual water clock and under-the-pier show. Southwold is also known for its many colourful, independent shops and boutiques, as well as its varied pubs, cafes and restaurants.

We were six friends visiting the house for a couple of days. All of us agreed that the house is spacious, comfortable and well situated. We enjoyed a day exploring Southwold and the beach. All of us agreed that we would like to visit again, for a longer stay; and we would recommend to family and friends. Thank you. C. Harris Hertfordshire.

Well located and well proportioned property. Ideal for large family or groups. Nicely situated next to Southwold Maize and cafe. The property had been cleaned well for our arrival. However it is definitely in need of some freshening up of home furnishings and needs a new mattress and proper wardrobe in the master bedroom. We felt it was more of a 4Read more star property. Hide

The property provided us with the perfect venue to stay, as well as explore the surrounding area. The cafe and play area next to the cottage were a real bonus. Our only complaint is that we felt the arrival and departure times imposed on us were overly restrictive.

Very nice location, plenty of space and well equipped for families. Our stay was over a cold and wet March weekend so it was quite cold, but once we got the log burner going it was nice and cosy downstairs. Nice outside area and plenty of parking.

A property of this size usually means that reunions, or friends get togethers, are likely as in our case, and it was ideal. The location, which included free access to the children's play area and maize was a bonus and the walks from the site were ideal. We enjoyed it.

Small things, but they make a difference! Only 2 dishwasher tablets were left which we thought was a bit tight. There were no oven gloves and the bread knife was broken. The shower leaked. A plumber was called but did not solve the problem. Overall, the farmhouse was lovely and suited our needs very well. Thank you for a lovley stay!
