You show Sink Farm but the sign at the entrance shows Ore Valley Holiday Cottages.. We drove past it to the end of Church Road then realised we had gone too far and had to turn back to find it. The site is excellent. So are the cottages and staff.

Mrs Evans

The signing for sink farm was low down on a log making it difficult to spot as we drove by.. , while the sign for the holiday cottages was much more clearly , and largely , printed above. And gave a completely different name. We drove past this entrance twice before stopping to ask at a nearby commercial centre , and being given this information. After a busy drive from London this confusion was very tiring and frustrating.

Perfect location to explore Suffolk.. The Weather was a bit cold but the cottage was really cosy and warm. Went there in October would like to go back in the summer.

Poppy is very lovely but because of Mrs Blythes circumstances in need of some serious cutting back of shrubs etc around the cottages.. This has led to many many flies. We were unable to open windows because of this which in this heatwave was stifling. Cleaning team were a bit hit and miss and didn't leave clean towels or when they did left the dirty ones as well. Overall we had a lovely time. I expected Sykes to have made contacted whilst we were there to check on things. Nothing until now, Hadn't realised you were only a money collecting agent. I have never been to this part of England and we both really enjoyed both the setting of Poppy and the area.

The cottage was absolutely delightful and the courtyard and surroundings were very well planted out and looked after.. Very tranquil and most pleasant to sit outside at any time during the day. Very good location to tour the area. Essentially everything in general was great but there are a couple of small points we would like to mention. There was no booklet giving details of refuse collections, doctors, places to eat and procedures when leaving; usually found at all previous cottages. Not a real problem as we just carried out what we thought were adequate procedures and left the cottage in sound frame of mind. Also the shower was quite basic off the taps and not adjustable; also no grab rails. May seem rather nit-picking but everything else was really fine and these points just put the icing on the cake.

The cottage was clean and comfortable.. Parking was good. Lovely outside space but due to the weather we were unable to make use of it. We would use the cottages again.

It would have been good to have had some information about re-cycling - we ended up with a full black bin bag of rubbish, most of which could have been re-cycled.. One and a half loo rolls was a bit mean, but otherwise the cottage was perfect for our needs, and the dog was happy too.

The cottage was well equipped but there is a strong smell of the oil fired central heating when you first enter the property.. The cookies, milk and bread was a nice welcome gesture along with a visit shortly after we arrived to see if everything was OK. Although the property was generally clean, some items are due for replacement, ie toilet brush, towels. Overall, we had a most pleasant stay. Thank you.

The owners could supply a chopping board (bread board).. Not good chopping on kitchen surface. It is set in a wonderful setting. The owners are very helpful and we enjoyed staying there.

This converted stable was like a home from home. The beds were extremely comfortable and the grounds surrounding our holiday let were super, our dog was very, very happy. There were washing machines available, a lovely games room, and a special area for young children with swings and toy ride-on tractor. The owner was a lovely lady - I would thoroughly recommend this holiday home to anybody.

This property is in a beautiful peaceful area of Suffolk. The owner was very friendly and we arrived to milk in the fridge and bread and cookies, a very nice touch. Would highly recommend this property for a break from the hustle of every day life. Brilliant property.

The whole experience was brilliant as we had never taken our dogs on holiday before. We were greeted by the owner who made us feel very welcome, she explained about where to take the pups whilst on the farm and also the games room utility room. A very nice touch was the provisions that had been left for us on arrival. The cottage was really comfortable, had everything we needed and was nicely decorated. There is plenty to keep you busy, both locally and a short drive away. We totally enjoyed our stay at Poppy Cottage and recommend a stay here.
