Church Farm, Dunwich

• "Our third time at this great Farm House, which we love."

  Really spacious and comfortable accommodation and easy to live in and fantastic having easy car parking. We would suggest that the hand washes in the bathrooms should be topped up (some were empty) and a hand soap offered. There should also be a few logs and kindling as a starter and a wi-fi speaker for music. Also the welcome pack should include something in addition to a marzipan cake e.g. a bottle of wine and savoury nibbles or biscuits etc.

• "What a wonderful property."

  We have searched for a long time for a property with three double bedrooms and three bathrooms for ourselves and our two children and their partners. This was perfect and very well equipped. Great location too.

• "This is our second visit to Church Farm with all the family."

  The house is in a lovely position, 10 minutes walk to the beach and a very good cafe and 5 minutes to the Pub. It has lots of room for everyone. We would love to go again but the house is on the market so maybe the new owners will not rent it out. We love Dunwich.

• "A really beautiful house and well situated for the immediate area and beyond."

  Only negatives were that some comfortable garden furniture would have been good and we were a little disappointed at the level of cleanliness, especially around toilets and bathrooms.

• "We enjoyed an excellent extended family holiday at Church Farm - the three dining spaces(big enough for the 8 of us) suited us brilliantly not to mention the 2 dishwashers when it came to clearing up."

  The setting is very peaceful yet the Adnams pub just a short walk away was most handy. We all just loved the house with it’s distinctive windows and style.

• "We loved our stay here."

  The bedrooms were clean and extremely comfortable. The house had character. The kitchen/s are extremely well stocked and the variety of tables for eating mean that you can be flexible in terms of where you eat depending on the weather and your group. We also loved the pretty, secure garden.

• "A wonderful place to stay."

  Dunwich is just excellently located with pub and team room close and ditto plenty of great walks. The house is spacious and gracious with plenty of bedrooms and a lovely garden as well as a well equipped kitchen (two in fact!). Great fun to be had in the billiard room, too. We do think a second lounge would be good (it could easily replace the large table in the conservatory). A technical issue during our stay was immediately resolved which was much appreciated.

  Would have liked easy chair in conservatory.Owners helpful & friendly. Beds comfortable. Great location for bird reserve and walks. Generous parking space.

• "Three generations celebrated a major birthday and the property fulfilled our needs well."

  3 spacious double bedrooms and an attic for kids (stairs up rather steep). To have three and a half bathrooms was great but layout not ideal as only one properly ensuite. A curious house with two kitchens and two dining tables, it was generally very well equipped and comfortable. Well positioned with five-minute walk to a good pub, yet very quietly situated with lots of parking.

• "We very much enjoyed our stay at Church Farm for Christmas."

  The house has lots of character, is in a fabulous location and is very well equipped for entertaining. Our party was actually only five so the house is very large for us but I think we made good use of it all! Our dog loved the garden and of course the walk on the beach. We also explored the local heath and forest which was great for walking. Thank you for having us ☺️

• "Perfect in every way - unless you need hermetically sealed windows and constant heat, because 140 year old single glazed windows in an old house gets a little leaky in the winter."

  Having said that, heating is modern and efficient so overcomes that. Very well appointed with lots to do ‘at home’ and out and about. A great place from a great agency with advice and instruction accurate and timely as always.

• "Lovely stay."

  Great position. Walled garden a bonus. Wonderful walking from the property. Well equipped. Plenty of fridge space. Plenty of hot water. Quiet location. Older property so expect drafty windows a bit of dust and a few cobwebs. Would be good to have full toilet rolls in Bathrooms to start with or a least a full one left in each. Info dotted around but could not find a file of information. If there isn’t one that would be useful as one of point of reference for everything about house but also info on area. Maybe we did not find it. We asked for cot to be put up and it wasn’t did not really matter but would have been useful. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

• "We loved our stay at Church Farm."

  Although some aspects of the property are little 'tired' it was perfect for us (you never really feel comfortable in a 'perfect' property!). The only downside was that the descriptions and photos on the website do not accurately represent the current layout/furnishing of the property (the study is now set up with a pool table and the conservatory was set up as a further dining space). Although this did not really detract from our enjoyment of the property, it would have been nice to have been informed of the changes before the holiday commenced as the property was not set up as advertised and, as we were a multi-generation group, it would have been nice to have 2 separate sitting areas.

• "Excellent accommodation for our needs - both house & garden."

  Good location for beaches & local towns; we stayed fairly local. Plenty of food storage space esp fridge & freezer and for our clothes. A few spare loo rolls would have been nice. We had excellent seafood platters from the Sole Bay fishery. Very friendly local community who were very helpful when one of our dogs escaped over the front wall! All in all a very enjoyable holiday.

• "The house had a lovely feel to it."

  It wasn't perfect but then neither are we! It did have everything you could possibly need, especially it's nearness to the pub and beach! The beds were comfy and we slept well with all that sea air coming in the windows. There's loads to do in the area around the house. We even tried on the headgear in Dunwich Museum.

• "The property was ok but over priced for what it is."

  There is plenty of parking and has rooms as described but lounge isn't spacious, conservatory feels dirty, water stains on kitchen ceiling, butlers kitchen all a but of a mess. Left over consumables, looked at the olive oil, decided not to use. Main bathroom door doesn't shut properly so no real privacy, other items similar. It's a pretty property but isn't that well kept. It feels that it needs a complete refurb and scrap the old linen etc if you want to retain the rental fees. Location wise it's tucked away for a nice retreat, pub, tea room and beach just round the corner.

  Perfect for our large family and 2 dogs. Lovely location and we would definitely recommend a stay here. Thanks for the chance to share your property. The only thing we could have done with was a parasol for the garden there was a base but no parasol. This is just a comment and not a moan.

• "We had a lovely week and the property is ideally situated to the coast."

  The pictures on the site and descriptions are not totally accurate and although lovely to have big tables to sit round there was nowhere for us all to sit comfortably together. The pool table was a bonus. The level of cleanliness could have been better there was clear evidence of pets, hairs over the upstairs Rugs and old balloon, dust etc around the sofas in the conservatory. The were no hand towels left for the 3 sleeping at the top of the house. It is a lovely property, the garden was very safe for our 2 year old to enjoy especially when the rabbits and deer came calling. Finally may be good to mention the parking area is also access for the adjoining property. We had to move cars for them to gain access especially with the gated area where work is being done.

• "Church Farm is a beautiful house, spacious and full of character."

  The layout encompassing the dining area / kitchen / orangery is particularly impressive. Plus there is an additional kitchen / utility room. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms adds to the scope. There is also a lounge and games room, which are nicely situated away from the other areas. The front garden is a good size and therefore provides important outdoor space for children and pets. The location is very peaceful and just a few minutes walk from the beach, and an excellent local pub within a very small village. Overall, an ideal set-up for a large family get-away, or just a couple.

• "We booked this fabulous property as part of my wife & my 60th birthday year celebrations & stayed with our immediate family incl 2 dogs."

  The house is shabby chic & was perfectly imperfect for us, not pristine but very comfortable & somewhere we could easily relax & enjoy ourselves. The main bedrooms are large & the beds are very comfortable. The photos don't do justice to the amount of downstairs space there is which has 4 main areas being the lounge, the snug / games room, the huge kitchen / diner & the big garden room. The house has everything we needed & more & it's located in a beautiful area with many varied walks directly from it, to a huge local forest, the beach & coast or heathland (or a combination of the 3?). There's plenty of parking for 5 cars or more. We had a fabulous week here with family & friends visiting & we made lots of happy memories & we were very sad to leave. We are thinking about making this an annual pilgrimage, we will definitely be back.

  We don't live far away, but Church Farm has been the perfect setting for us all. A wonderful murder mystery night on the Saturday evening set in the 1920's which we held in the conservatory was just fab! We had family over on the Sunday and I made scones here for afternoon tea. We all loved this place so much. It had everything we could possibly wish for and we will definitely be returning. Aged 10-84 we played games, walked in the woods, to the beach, days out in Southwold, Snape, Thorpeness and Aldeburgh. The beds were so comfortable and we loved the open fire too. My husband and I decided this place is just imperfectly perfect. Thank you we will be back!

• "We had a pool table with no pool cues that worked."

  A log basket was empty. I felt the lounge was not suitable for the 8 people that went with me some had to use the conservatory for comfort Too many bathrooms only had baths so we all had to use the family bathroom to shower The cost was nearly £2600 Local pub put a service charge on everything even drinks. Lunch was the same as evening so no nice sandwiches. Pub was very busy as nothing anywhere near by
