Spacious accommodation for a large family
With huge dining table large relaxing areas and a shower/bath in all 7 bedrooms this was ideal for two families with a wide spread of ages (2-19) plus adults. Isolated location but within easy reach of lots of attractions. Only main drawback at this time of year is the prevalence of flies (it is set on a farm) but these did not affect our enjoyment of this spacious accommodation.

Fantastic!
We had a wonderful time at Marshlands! The property is in a stunning location and was clean, tidy, and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment to make food for our party of 11. We made use of the outdoor space and used the BBQ and the hot tub in the evenings. The instructions on arrival were clear and easy to follow. The property is situated in the country but is just a short drive from food stores. We visited Easton Farm Park whilst we stayed and participated in the goat yoga class, which we highly recommend if you're visiting! Great weekend, thank you :D

Lovely weekend spent celebrating my daughter's hen weekend with close family and friends.
The property was excellent and exceeded my expectations. Great space for family or friends to gather and enjoy. Bedrooms good size, fresh and clean all with ensuites. Kitchen was fully equipped and large dining area, seating 14 comfortably. Very comfortable lounge area. Patio and garden was also great to socialise and the girls got plenty of use out of the hot tub. We had lovely weather which was a bonus as we had outdoor activities planned in the garden. I would definitely recommend Marshlands.

House is in need of some TLC. Eg no handle on shower, new toilet seat required, etc. Only one frying pan! Breakfast for everyone therefore tricky. The BBQ was old and filthy. Awful problem with flies in the house drove us mad. Garden NOT dog friendly as not secure. Dogs can run into the lane or into adjacent fields and farmyard. Made the best of it and enjoyed holiday but for this money it should be much better.

Too many flies
Lovely place. Really big and well laid out. Went there for the hot tub but missed out on whole day and night of hot tub. It should of been checked that it was working before we arrived. The flie situation was crazy it was way to much there was 100s all over the place. But other then that it's a beautiful place to stay

Great escape for large numbers
Booking and check in was easy with plenty of helpful information and instructions. Everything was well cleaned for our arrival. Down side was quite how many flies were there and lack of drinking glasses for everyone.

Great weekend place
Stayed here as a group of 12, the house is brilliant and kitted out perfectly for a weekend away. Lots of fun had and great to get out nearby for some walking and down to the beach. Loved it and would recommend to anyone looking to go to Suffolk for the weekend

Absolutey amazing! Highly recomended!!
This place was fantastic. The house is great and beautifully decorated. The open plan layout was perfect for our group and meant we could spend some quality time together. It was really good to have en-suite bathrooms for all the bedrooms. The hot tub was so relaxing. Sam was quick and responsive and we would definitely come back!! Thanks Sam.

Beautiful place but we struggled with the flies
This is a really spacious house and a short drive from lovely places like Aldeburgh and Thorpeness. However there were so many flies as there's a pig farm not too far away. The owner had provided fly guards for the windows and swatters but they managed to come in whenever the door was opened. We were there on a really hot week so maybe it's not so bad when the weather is colder but it really did affect our stay. Also there's not a great deal in this area for families if you're staying for a week or so. We did love the open space downstairs though.

Great place, pity about the flies. Accommodating an extended family of 12 with an age range of 8 months to 80 years is not easy so Marshlands was ideal. The kids enjoyed the freedom of the lawn to play cricket and football.

We had an amazing time at the house. The only let down was the amount of flies in the house. The beds could have been a more comfortable to. Otherwise clean and fab grounds to entertain the kids.

Perfect for larger groups
We had a fantastic weekend stay at Marshlands after rain threatened our camping weekend. The barn is stunning and perfectly set up for a few families looking for a comfortable place to stay. The layout is fantastic and means there’s plenty of space for everyone without tripping over each other. It’s also brilliantly appointed from great linen to every cooking utensil you could wish for. The hot tub was a real bonus and the perfect place to hang out and enjoy the view across the garden in to fields and surrounding woods. The perfect country retreat.
