Summary: A really restful stay in an excellent cottage. Great village location with really good pubs. Cannot fault the cottage for size and layout, with the benefit of a really nice garden with great views. Will be back next year…

Summary: We were very comfortable in your cottage, and found everything we needed for our stay. We explored the surrounding countryside and little villages loved some of the delightful houses in the area, the weather was even better than we expected as it was late in the season thank you very much.

Summary: Very nice property, however, off-street parking is limited and we had to park on the road, which was busy during the day time. As mentioned the property was of an excellent standard and a great option for a couple or small family.

Summary: The cottage is excellent. Everything you could possibly need we found it here. Comfy bed with plenty of space for the two of us. Roomy kitchen diner opening straight on to a delightful back garden, fully enclosed, excellent piece of mind for us with the dog and lots of comfy seating provided with a BBQ should you need it. Parking space at side of house quite tight for our vehicle but always plenty of parking at the front of the cottage. Lots of local info provided and we ate out a couple of times at The Crown in the village which was very good. The only small gripe I had was that the oven needed a good clean and some of the cooking tins and pans could do with an update but as I don't go on holiday to cook this didn't bother us at all as Idylic Cotttages seem on the ball I am sure this will be rectified. Stoke By Nayland is a beautiful area and we are going home refreshed! Thank you.

Summary: We spent a few days at this lovely little cottage. It’s been nicely converted fairly recently and done with flair and thoughtfulness. Any of those little things you may have forgotten you will almost certainly find in a drawer somewhere about the place. The owner has truly thought of everything. We were a tiny bit worried about the car parking, but needn’t have been, we were able to park on the road outside. We chose this place because we know and love Stoke by Nayland. A particularly lovely part of this gorgeous part of the country. Would visit again. Thank you for providing such a cute cosy property.

Summary: Excellent accommodation extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean. Lovely area for walking. Local pubs very good too. My only grumble is not knowing dogs are not allowed upstairs until we arrived although we managed to work around it. Would definitely stay again

Summary: we had a lovely few days at stoke by nayland. box valley cottage was perfect for us, the cottage had been well thought out with nice touches, for example the speaker in the kitchen, nice to have the radio on with a cuppa in the mornings. our very timid dog even settled in quickly and enjoyed running in and out the enclosed rear garden. Welcoming pack was nice, really couldnt fault anything, we particularly liked the seating looking out on to the garden and luckily the weather was nice so we even got to sit on the garden bench before we headed out each day. there are nice walks around stoke by nayland and we also enjoyed trips to frinton on sea, dedham and flatford. The local dog friendly pubs were good, food was excellent. we will defiantly be returning at some point and will be recommending to friends and family.
