Brian T-	Reviewed on 03/23/2011 for a stay on 03/01/2011 A wonderful experience. The property provided something for everyone: well-equiped gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances, ducks in the pond, a large yard with patio, top-of-the-line flat screen tv with dvd. Very comfortable sofas, chairs, linens/pillows, heated floors, a lot of lush towels, large bathroom. Circular driveway made it easy to park our nine passenger van. A vehicle is a "must" to stay here as it requires a drive to reach local towns or villages. We enjoyed identifying the various small animals and birds which seem to thrive in the area. The washing-machine proved valuable for our stay. We would recommend the "Bury-St. Edmunds Farmer's Market" as a 'must-see' experience located in the town on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Do you like "Thomas the Train"? The East anglia Railway Museum (about 50 min south) provides rides on real trains (one appears as Thomas in april). Overall, a very nice experience, check-out was made very easy.

The Henderson family	Reviewed on 09/04/2010 for a stay on 07/01/2010 We all thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night break at Roundwood House. It was charming! The welcome pack was excellent - filled with delicious local fresh products - and the owners had thought of every detail to make our stay as pleasurable, comfortable and relaxing as possible. There were lots of interesting places nearby to visit and plenty of lovely countryside walks. We only wished we could have stayed there for longer!

Mieke	Reviewed on 07/16/2010 for a stay on 07/01/2010 This place just had everything you needed. We were traveling with family from Holland who had arrived at Stansted airport, the cottage is very conveniently situated for Stansted, so this was ideal. After I had booked the holiday the owner had already send us a lot of information on the area so we could prepare for our weekend. When we arrived I was pleasantly surprised, I liked the website of the cottage, but I have to say, it doesn't do it justice as it's much nicer then it's in the photographs. Everything was brandnew too, the kitchen really had everything you needed wih the most beautiful cooker. In every bedroom there was a little soap and some sweets on the beds, the bedlinen was very luxurious. It was very hot the weekend we stayed at Roundwoodhouse but the rooms stayed very cool, and most rooms had windows on both sides which you could open to get a nice breeze. We took our own paddlingpool for the children and the garden was ideal for it. We used the water afterwards to water all the lovely plants. The garden furniture was lovely too, we spent a few very nice evenings eating outside. One evening we had a bbq in the garden, we did move away from the house as it has a thatched roof and therefore we had to be extra cautious. The area is also very beautiful, rich in history with towns like Bury St. Edmunds and Lavenham very close by. We also made some nice walks and part of our gruop visited Cambridge. I can thoroughly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed!

The owner, Audrey, was very welcoming and filled us in on everything we could do in the area. Perfect for relaxing and perfect for action packed breaks. Definitely recommend! April 2011
Keith Brown	The owner of this cottage went the extra mile to ensure that we had a comfortable stay, providing many extras which were unexpected, and was extremely helpful. March 2011.
Anonymous	I would like to congratulate (the owner) on the wonderful cottage, my friends and I have stayed in many cottages over the years, but we felt that yours was the best; beautifully decorated with every little detail in place. We felt completely at home, all warm and cosy. Dec 2010.
