"Fabulous week"
I had a fabulous week at The Gig House. Ian provided very clear directions to their place - in a very peaceful village. The bed was super comfy with lovely bed linen and the property was extremely well equipped for self catering. The private garden was very relaxing and parking on the driveway was perfect. Highly recommended. Everything was fabulous. Thank you."

"Ideal location"
"We had a very good time in our fortnight at The Gig House. The owners are very attentive and kind and the kitchen is extremely well fitted. There is also a delightful secluded garden only for the guests. Due its central position in the county, Stonham Aspal is the ideal location to visit Suffolk, but also Norfolk and Essex are very easily reachable, as sandy beaches with dunes. Absolutely recommended. Excellent"

"Comfy"
"We had a wonderful week at Ian and Janine's place. The bed was extremely comfortable and the cottage was comfy. Ian was very friendly and came to introduce himself on our first morning. We were around 15-30 minutes for most of the things we wanted to do and places to eat. We felt very relaxed during our stay."

"Perfect spot"

"A lovely week"
"I had a lovely week staying at the Gig House. Ian welcomed me when I arrived and replied to any queries I had very quickly. The Gig House has everything I needed including parking right outside, internet, a comfortable place to stay including a log burner and ideally situated for all the places I wanted to visit. Would definitely return if in the area again."

"Great little cottage"
"We really enjoyed our stay at The Gig House. The cottage was clean, cosy and very well equipped. The communication with the owners (Ian & Janine) both before and during our stay was spot on. The owners live in the adjoining property so were on hand if needed, but respected our privacy too. Many thanks". 🙂"

"I've stayed in a lot of AirBnB’s, never felt more at home"
"Ian and Janine were incredible hosts. The accommodation was amazing in such a beautiful rural part of Suffolk. It’s incredibly homely and in a beautiful part of the countryside. I've stayed in a lot of AirBnB’s, never felt more at home."

"Thoroughly recommend a stay"
"Ian and Janine could not have been more helpful. The accommodation is comfortable, clean, warm and well maintained. The wood burner stove is outstanding in the amount of heat it produces. It has kept us toasty in the cold weather. Lovely walks around the local footpaths and good communication with surrounding area. The kitchen is well equipped. Thoroughly recommend a stay."

"Peaceful hideaway in the Suffolk countryside"
"A lovely little cottage, situated behind the owners' house, but with its own private garden. Ideal location for the main towns nearby and for trips to the coast. Quaint but comfortable with all the facilities required for simple self-catering and wonderfully helpful hosts. This was our second visit, as we had enjoyed it so much previously."

"Lovely field walks right on the doorstep"
"The Gig House was a great place to stay. Ian and Janine were helpful hosts. The accommodation was thoroughly clean and comfortable, and in a good location to travel around different parts of Suffolk. Lovely field walks right on the doorstep - ask Ian for details!"

"Quiet and restful"
"The cottage had mostly everything we needed and was quiet and restful. Not having been in that part of Britain before we found many historic sights to explore and National Trust places to visit. It is close enough to the coast for day trips and we enjoyed the RSPB sites particularly. It was good to have a comfortable place to come back to after a pleasant day out."

JS, Wales - April 2019

"Pleased with every aspect"
"This cottage is just the right size for two and has a very private garden. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed ready to hand. The bedroom had plenty of storage room and a very comfortable bed. Bed linens were good quality and towels soft and fluffy. We were very pleased with every aspect of this property."
