The Hen House Reviews

Nishanth
Was a lovely place felt cosy and homly
Linda
Excellent accommodation set in a working farm environment Highly recommended
Angela
A lovely spacious house in a peaceful location, despite being adjacent to a very large chicken farm. Very comfortable and well equipped. Highly recommended.
Nigel
We rented two units that can be joined together to form a single property with seven ensuite rooms. The place was spotless, well equipped, warm, comfortable and pretty spacious. The farm setting is delightful. We have no qualms about recommending the place unreservedly.
Jo
Everything about this property was spot on, it surpassed our expectations and Bob and Helen could not have been better hosts.
Deborah
The Hen House was a fabulous property for a party of 6 couples as we all had our own en suite bedrooms and the communal living areas were very spacious. The property is in a lovely setting and it was wonderful to be so close to the multitude of hens, the goats and the sheep.
John
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hen house and loved the wild life surrounding us!
Alison
A perfect place for family gatherings. We had four generations (eldest 84 and youngest 14 months) under one roof for a week and it suited every single one of us. We all said we would love to go back!
Paul
Superb, well equipped cottages, with the added benefit of all rooms en-suite and adjoining door for our larger family to share two cottages. Perfect location for all the area has to offer and a further benefit of being child friendly but surrounded by farm animals a real bonus for 2 under 5â??s. Highly recommended properties and very friendly host.
Jade
I cannot recommend the hen house highly enough. We had the most wonderful stay. Everything you need and more. We had a beautiful time in the garden with the garden games that were there such a lovely extra. The location is beautiful, the hosts so welcoming. A must stay
Barbara
The complete package! Location and comfort. Help when needed.
Graham
The Hen house is a lovely very well equipped cottage, and very clean. Lovely to find good quality glasses, and crockery and plenty of them.The BBQ 's too were of good quality and usable. Helen and Bob are very pleasant and welcoming.
Louise
Lovely cottage in a lovely setting.
Bridget
Six of us relished the peace and space of the henhouse for a writing retreat. It was very comfortable very well equipped. The bedrooms provided a place for working during the day wild the comfortable sofas a place to meet in the evenings. We will be returning!
Claire
Beautiful cottage, lovely surroundings, fully equipped for our 3 night stay, spotlessly clean and very spacious, each room has its own en-suite, it really is a gorgeous place to stay
Sarah
We go away as a group of 12+ every new year. The Hen House was probably the best house we've stayed in over the last 34 years! Well equipped for such a large group. Nice to have an ensuite in each bedroom. Large table to allow us to eat together. Owners were friendly and couldn't do enough to make our holiday amazing! Lots of great walks from the door. Great pub in nearby Bungay.
David
Excellent equipment, fully equipped with more than expected. Plenty of cutlery and crockery. Nice extras left, logs for the fire, tea, coffee, washing up liquid, cookies, cake and farm fresh eggs (that are exceptional). The barn is spacious, the kitchenâ??s are a good size and as it is open plan is a great space for cooking family meals regardless of the size. Every bedroom has its own on suite, which is clean and very modern. Can not praise this property high enough we had a wonderful week staying in the hen house and will be back for our next family get together
Carmel
Wonderful accommodation, celebrated a special birthday with family & friends.

The Hen House is the perfect venue for a crowd of very good old friends to get together and have fun. The beautiful surroundings of the farm and the peace and quiet are so relaxing. I. Sure we will be back again.
Teri
We had such a fabulous weekend. Both Cottages were spotlessly clean and comfortable. The kitchens were well equipped, wood for the fire and there was even a cupboard full of games. The surroundings were beautiful. I would certainly recommend this property. Five stars from us!
