Enjoyable stay, excellent facilities and good location. Would stay again. Parking is difficult if you have a large car.



Beautiful property in a great location

This is the second stay for us five friends in an Idyllic Suffolk property and again we were not disappointed. From the thoughtful arrival basket to the excellent location just off the high street of Hadleigh, our weekend break was just perfect.

Yes, the parking is very tight, but not impossible. The cottage had everything we needed and more - a very well-equipped kitchen complete with dishwasher and washing machine, four very comfortable beds (we chose twin option for the king sized bed in the second bedroom, and the steep stairs to the loft reward you with a beautiful slipper bath in the master bedroom.

Our only "complaint" was that the central heating was too good for us to consider using the logs and kindling left for use in the woodburner, as the weather was still quite mild when we visited.





A perfectly relaxing, long-awaited break

A gorgeous cosy cottage. Perfectly situated. We've not visited Suffolk properly before and this was an excellent location to get to the beautiful inland villages and also the stunning coastline. We found the Idyllic Suffolk website so useful for the places and pubs to visit. (We visited nearly all the pubs - and they were all excellent!) The location of the cottage, behind gates in the centre of the pretty market town was perfect for us. Both pubs in the town are worth a visit, we ate in the Kings Head too and it was lovely. We also used Spice the Indian takeaway and the Co-op on the main street was really well stocked, I think we were in there everyday! The locals are so friendly too - that doesn't happen everywhere. We've stayed in a fair few holiday cottages over the years and I'd say this one was up there in our top three! We certainly hope to come back again soon. Fabulous!



Great Location

A nice, well equipped cottage in a central location. Nice places to walk nearby and everything you could need in the town itself as far as nice pubs and shops go. The parking space is snug - as it states in the information. If you have a second or large car you can park in the nearby car park which is 24 hour for about £4 a day.
Only negative is that the cottage sleeps 5, but there are only 4 dinning chairs, and it would be a bit snug getting 5 round the table anyhow. And the loft stairs are very steep - again as stated in information.



Lovely old property in an ideal location.

The main problem we experienced was getting our SRV into the car space. My husband managed every day but it was difficult.



We generally had a good time in Hadleigh at the White Lion Cottage. Sadly some of us were ill.

On the plus side : Great Wi-Fi and a decent TV. The location is great for walking round Hadleigh for shopping : Being next door to the George Pub is a plus. Some parking was provided but my car was too big to fit. The local people we talked to were all very friendly. Charging for my electric car was available, provided by "Plug-N-Go" at a car park just up the road. A nice welcome pack of bread, milk, butter & bacon was provided.
On the minus side : No mop or broom was provided for cleaning . One of the the two ovens was too hot and the other was too cool. The Shower overflowed.
Sadly , we were not well that week. I had diarrhoea early on and my grandchildren were sick later. Not the fault of the house !
On balance it was a really good family holiday for the 5 of us.



very pleased

We had a great stay at White Lion Cottage. Located just off Hadleigh high street there is a great selection of shops, takeaways and restaurants close by. The beds were comfortable as was the seating downstairs. Wi-Fi speed was super fast, enough to stream on multiple devices. The cottage was well equipped and the welcome pack, thoughtful and well thought out. We had two cars with us, I managed to get the smaller of the two (a vw golf) in the parking space but it took 5 minutes or so manoeuvring back and forth. It’s not so much the width of the space but the angle. Long stay car park is really close so not an issue really.
