"Great place to see the real Suffolk."
We arrived on the Saturday afternoon to a very friendly welcome and were delighted to see the quality of the rooms. The layout of two rooms are a mirror of each other and are very spacious and beautifully designed for a home from home, relaxed feeling. Copious tea and coffee options in the room with real milk. The wife enjoyed the chocolate biscuits! After an evening out its a great place to return to. Breakfast was well cooked and plentiful. If you enjoy peace and quiet this place is a must. Read less
Likes:
The rooms are excellent, clean and well laid out with much thought put into their design. Lots of space to relax and the owners who look after you are very warm and welcoming.
Dislikes:
Read the directions carefully and don't trust your Sat Nav.
Response from Cowshed Holidays:
If you put the postcode into your SATNAV you will be directed to another farm. Please put Thorington, Suffolk into your SATNAV to be directed to the bottom of our drive.

Likes:
It had been tastefully renovated
Dislikes:
We couldn't get the sofabed to convert to a bed from a sofa.
Response from Cowshed Holidays:
Sofabed is not usually a problem for guests and we are perturbed that this is mentioned in a review and was not said to us at the time. We could have given assistance if asked. It would be helpful if guests made suggestions as to other facilities that could be provided as we thought we had equipped the rooms thoroughly.

Although peacefully tucked away in the countryside the location is within five miles of Suffolk's Heritage Coast - Dunwich five miles, six miles to Walberswick and eight miles to Southwold. Good A-road links are close by if you wish to travel further afield during your stay, or unwind by exploring the delightful country lanes and local footpaths. Ideal as a base for cycling and walking holidays. Thorington is a scattered community with a wonderful ancient church which is one of only about forty round tower Suffolk churches.
The farm stands on high ground and is reached by a half mile access track. This is an arable farm but there are also productive beehives plus free-range chickens, geese and ducks. In the surrounding open countryside there live a wealth of birds and wildlife - hares, deer, foxes and (of course) rabbits are often to be seen near the farm buildings.
Pets are not accepted but children are welcome - parents should be aware that this is a working farm and supervision is necessary.
The area around Thorington is glorious east Suffolk countryside criss-crossed by public footpaths and with nature reserves, wildlife-rich marshes, rivers, commons and heathlands to explore. The local lanes are a delight for cyclists. Within ten miles is the Suffolk Heritage Coast. Southwold is a delightful unspoilt, but busy, seaside resort with a its beach, pier, working lighthouse and jaunty beach huts. Walberswick and Dunwich are seaside villages where ancient ruins tell of more prosperous times. The National Trust own heathland at Dunwich cliffs where you can watch for porpoises and seals from the lookout. Take your binoculars to visit the RSPB Minsmere Reserve, less than a twenty minute drive away.
