The house itself was spacious and well kept. Little touches of toiletries similar to a hotel was lovely, and there was a great welcome pack with lots of information. There was also plenty of parking which is always a bonus. The kitchen was well equipped, and the whole please was clean. All in all, it's a very pleasant place to stay, and we would recommend to others.

It was nearly impossible to get a taxi. Every company listed in the welcome pack would charge an extra fee because we were further out, and one had retired 15 years ago! The showers could do with a descale too, and maybe some net curtains in the window for privacy. We had to close the curtains and put the light on to get dressed.

Wonderful location and well fitted for us. Quiet neighborhood and everyone was friendly. Convenient to walk to the park, Nisa and a few restaurants. Very economical and in our price bracket.

The beds were a bit soft for my wife and myself. Ended up using an air mattress for my.wife.

Location was perfect for our stay. Safe neighborhood. The accommodations were clean and we had virtually everything we needed for a week+ stay. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

The master bedroom mattress is due to be replaced.

All amenities were available and fully working if needed at Thistle Cottage; the whole house was very comfortable and clean making it a perfect choice for a short stay in the beautiful surroundings within easy reach of RED LODGE. The property was very easy to find and parking was also very good; the neighbours were very friendly and the local shops were also well stocked with items that were required. It is a very pleasant area to stay in and explore: Mildenhall was only a short drive away and has a host of good places to eat or, if preferred, takeaway meals to suit most tastes. Chippenham Park is also a must see beauty spot where you can peacefully walk amongst excellent acres of delights. A most green and pleasant experience in a lovely part of the U.K.

It was sad to leave but fond memories were made during that short visit to Red Lodge and Thistle Cottage. This property will be recommended to friends and family should the opportunity arise in the future. Many thanks.

Spacious house. Well equipped.

Communication via Booking.com was very confusing. The company got back to me straight away. They were great. The lights in the bathroom were far too dim -could barely see. Carpets very stained.

So roomy. Three bedrooms was perfect. Nice to have all the amenities of home.

Not a complaint but: I didn’t know you had to raise the handle to the the door. I think it is common in England, but I didn’t know. An ice tray would be helpful for the Americans who are accustomed to ice in every drink.

Clean and comfortable, great shower! Was able to relax and beds were great Nice location for me as I was on business in Newmarket

Only one thing if I'm being critical, There was a funny smell when entering the hall which I presume is from not being lived in day to day,apart from that none,

Location. Space in townhouse. Easy parking.

Couldn’t get heaters to work. Had no hot water first day and night. Couldn’t figure out the dryer and host said to google it.

The location was good.

The host sorted a problem with incorrect wifi information so that was fine. My only criticism was that liquid soap and a hand towel in the kitchen would be beneficial.
