The coach house has been beautifully renovated to a very high standard. We were fortunate enough to have lovely sunny weather and so spent most of weekend in the garden. There were lots of thoughtful touches, such as warm bread in the bread maker and a bottle of prosecco in the fridge. The owners were very accomdating & friendly. We will definitely be back next year!

Girls weekend! We had a thoroughly lovely time and there are lots of positives - hot tub and privacy is amazing. Lovely garden/views from patio doors. Nice open plan living area (mustard rug in need of replacing). Firepit for the evening was lovely with logs supplied and even a smores basket. We didn't use the pizza oven but having left us with a pizza making basket was a nice touch. Heating controls easy to use and felt warm and cosy. Beds comfortable - no need for chairs in the room though as they block the cupboards. Both bathrooms are lovely - nice deep bath and perfect shower! Just some feedback to give: Please make sure you are happy/fit going up and down a spiral staircase - there is no toilet upstairs so you will need to make frequent trips down to to the loo! Asked by owner to strip beds and place in laundry bags at the bottom of the stairs - felt this was an unnecessary request to be honest and when on holiday do not really want to be doing this although this may not bother some people! Karaoke does not work so maybe remove from description or replace. It would be handy to have a antibacterial spray to wash down the kitchen surfaces rather than glass cleaner under the sink. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We only stayed one night for a Girls pre-Christmas get together, but had a wonderful time. The Manor Coach House was so cosy and decorated for Christmas. We were greeted by the host who was lovely, and was welcomed by the smell of warm bread cooking. The House is spotlessly clean and has everything you need and more for a lovely stay. The hot tub was wonderful and the garden was lit with fairy lights so magical for Christmas. We really hope to go back again for a longer stay.

I never write reviews but i’m so impressed at my recent stay here, it is a lot of money per night but i visited for one night with friends for my birthday. From the polite welcome from the owner to arriving to freshly made bread, getting a hamper filled with goodies and a s’mores kit for the fire. It has a hot tub and fire pit. Genuinley really pleasant stayed and thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you!

We have just returned from a fantastic holiday we can highly recommend The Manor Coach House. As a big family and children of varied ages from 8 upto 18 as parents we was worried about keeping them entertained this wasn’t an issue at all from the pool to the table tennis roasting marshmallows to the hot tub we had loads to do tbh we could have done with more than 7 days. The location was fantastic plenty of places near by to visit. Cherie and Andy made our visit extra special by providing birthday cakes cards balloons etc for the 3 birthdays we were celebrating whilst on holiday. Thank you again for a fantastic holiday!

Carlton Stowmarket | Family with adult children

We stayed at the Manor Coach House 9/7/22 for a week and it was one of our best family holidays. We received a warm welcome from The owners who were so friendly and helpful. As we entered the house we were greeted by a delicious aroma of freshly cooked bread and found a warm loaf ready to eat in the bread maker. We had a selection of essentials - butter, milk, jam, prosecco and a picnic basket containing everything needed to enjoy s’mores using the fire pit, there was even a selection of goodies for our dog. There wasn’t anything missing from the well equipped kitchen, everything seemed to have been thought of. During our stay the weather was warm and it was a real comfort to find enough fans to have through out the house. The garden was huge and again had everything you could need - a gas BBQ, fire pit, pizza oven, reclining sun loungers, outside dining area and hot tub. We were also able to use the Owners Swimming Pool which was brilliant. My wife and I, our two grown up children, our Grandson and our rather large dog all had a fantastic holiday and would not hesitate to holiday at the Manor Coach House again.

Easy web site to use. Kept us updated of what was required and when. No problems. We had a great time staying at the Manor Coach House in Aug 18. Very friendly and hospitable hosts. Having the bedrooms downstairs was inspired as the living area upstairs led straight out into the garden. Very comfortable cottage with all that you need. The garden was huge, kids loved playing hide and seek, table tennis and badminton. The bbq area was well done and perfect for the warm evenings. We all loved the pool, especially on the first couple of days when the weather was really hot. The cottage location was ideal as well. Not far at all to travel to lots of different places. Would heartily recommend to anyone. There were 5 of us and it suited us perfectly.

Easy booking process through Mulberry Cottages. We absolutely loved our stay at the Manor Coach House. The children spent as much time as possible in the swimming pool even when it rained. Everything you could possibly need is provided. The sun terrace was gorgeous. The only negative was that the WiFi didn’t work which meant the Smart TVs in the bedrooms were just basic TVs and we couldn’t get the internet (but then at least it meant we had a proper break from work!). We would absolutely love to visit again.

Everything done online and via email. Very efficient and information and directions arrived in good time. Would definitely use again as impressed by the quality of cottages available Cottage was finished to a high standard the owners had thought of everything. They were very welcoming and we appreciated the home made goodies and basic (and not so basic!) provisions in the fridge on arrival. Lovely base from which to explore, just a shame about the weather

Easy to use website, no problems in booking. Ref trough pretty much straight away and as promised emailed details of the property seven days before arrival. Lovely place to stay. A very well thought out accommodation. The owners have provided everything you would need to enjoy your stay. To having some milk, butter and a few surprises on arrival to a bread making machine, children’s garden toys of which my children loved. We even managed to enjoy the swimming pool in late October. Would certainly recommend staying here.

Mulberry Cottages have always been excellent. Our most recent stay the Manor Coachhouse Malmsbury in Kent was fantastic. Accurate reviews and detail of property. The owners themselves are the best hosts ever, nothing was ever too much trouble at the Coachhouse was stunning with high end finishing and beautifully presented. Fantastic hosts, very accommodating to pool opening times, high end finish in the Coachhouse and very tasteful and stylish. Our stay was fantastic with Andy and Cherie making us feel completely at home and cared for. Freshly cooked bread on arrival and a few bits in the fridge too. We will definitely be visiting again. With pretty high standards ourselves we found nothing that was an issue or a negative. If you have seen this property and thinking of staying then do it and get it booked, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Andy/Cherie
