Summary: We had very specific needs in that we lived between Glemsford and Fenstead End (same road as Cockles) in the early 1970s and we wanted to return and inspire memories of very happy times there. Cockles was the ideal location being away from the village and incredibly quiet - and light-free at night. In fact, I got good milky way shots with both my cellphone and my camera. So, Cockles is incredibly quiet and peaceful. The house itself is large and rambling with lots of character plus several rooms in addition to the four bedrooms, two of which have in-suite showers. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you can imagine or need if you wish to self-cater. The booking process was quick and easy, while Mark was very quick to respond to questions. Perhaps I can summarise by saying that this trip comprised only my daughter and grandson (other family members missed the trip through various circumstances), but I hope to return with my wife and her two daughters from California in the near future because it's a perfect base from which to explore the fascinating beauty and history of West Suffolk (I was born and raised in East Suffolk).

Summary: We enjoyed a relaxing few days in Suffolk. The house is a comfortable family home full of character set in a large garden with an eclectic mix of artefacts and a massive book collection. The living /dining area is spacious, the kitchen well-equipped and the bedrooms large and airy. It was however quite dirty in places. We needed to wash some of the cutlery and crockery before use and the kitchen work surfaces were sticky. One of the mattress covers was stained. And there were quite a lot of cobwebs. All these issues could easily be rectified and once addressed would enhance the overall experience.

Summary: Stayed for 4 nights with extended family over Xmas: Lovely time had by all! If you’re looking for modern and pristine, this isn’t the place for you. If you’re looking for character and country charisma, is this the place for you. Spacious, comfortable and full of interesting things to look at. Perfectly equipped for a large group over a festive period, with great views and fresh air too. Great! Tip: Definitely access the property from the road to the West rather than the farm track Google maps might want to take you from the East (Google thinks this is a road… fine if you’re in a 4x4, interesting if you’re not!). Host gave us a heads up on this ahead of time but one my party still took the track…!

Summary: We stayed here for new year. There were 8 of us, 4 adults and 4 children. The house is very quirky and unique. Full of books and old gimmicks. We loved how the house is remote and surrounded with fields. It was perfect for our little getaway. We will book again.

Summary: Farmhouse is as described , lovely rural location; lots of places to visit both National Trust and Bressingham Gardens. House has tremendous collection of books. Decorations a bit dated but serviceable. Problem with ladybird and fly hatching one day, but this was resolved quickly by local contact and owner.

Summary: Coming from the city, we loved this rural location, the lack of traffic, and the woodpecker daily visiting the beautiful garden! The Cockles country house is full of history, having loads of interesting books and interesting architecture, with a definite family feel. Some of the rooms might benefit from an update, eg the ensuite bathrooms, but equally this can be part of the quirky charm! Storage heaters and under floor heating worked a treat once they had warmed up. The hosts were kind and helpful, and keen to sort out any issues as promptly as possible. Recommended!

Summary: Lovely house in plenty of grounds in a quiet area with just the odd tractor going down the lane by the property. The house itself is full of country charm and character and very well equipped for your stay. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is definitely the place to stay. Our 2 dogs loved exploring the grounds and the size of the garden made sure they slept well every night!! There are walks from the cottage or a short drive away. Would recommend Clare but our favourite was the National Trust House and Park at Ickworth, just 15mins away. For shopping Bury St Edmunds is a lovely town. Communication with the owner was excellent and after checking there was a suitable area for a bbq before we travelled Mark made sure a grill was left out for us...nice touch.. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone
