    The bed was very comfortable but a bit high and as I'm a short person, i found it difficult to get onto it. A low step tucked under the bed would be ideal to help with that. Apart from that, it was excellent.

    Lovely welcome from Rebecca the host. Lots of welcoming touches like homemade brownies, fresh flowers, lavender bags and milk and sparkling water left in the fridge. Lovely, private, wrap around garden with several sitting out places. Well appointed throughout and very cosy.

    The Red Shed is just perfect, we had a very peaceful and relaxing 3 night stay. Rebecca is a lovely helpful host. The extra little touchs are so thoughtful and make this a special place. A lovely little holiday let with its own private garden set in the beautiful Suffolk countryside, just perfect. We will be back.

    As mentioned to Rebecca, you can not see the Red Shed from the road as we thought but other than that the directions were great. Everything else was perfect

    our very friendly hosts who welcomed us as soon as we arrived. Our accommodation was very warm and cosy, very clean with comfy beds, the towels lovely and fluffy. Perfect location for visiting Bury and Lavenham. Loved the vases of red roses and carnations. Your chocolate slice was the best 😋 Being able to park close was a great bonus. Highly recommend The Red Shed.

    What a lovely place to stay! The Red Shed is beautifully furnished and exceptionally clean. Rebecca, the owner, has thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible, like a real home from home. Although in a quiet rural position The Red Shed offers easy access to Bury St Edmunds, Lavenham and other places of interest. We would highly recommend a stay and hope to visit again before long.

    I found the feather-filled pillows uncomfortable as they're too soft. I prefer synthetic fillings for more neck support but this is just personal taste of course!!

    We had a fabulous time at The Red Shed and only wish we could've stayed longer! Everything is exactly as it appears in the photos and just charming. Thoughtfully arranged and immaculately presented accommodation and a beautifully maintained garden. Loved sitting outside enjoying a cuppa and book with the aroma of lavender and hum of bees in the air! Top notch communication from Rebecca - welcoming and available if needed without being intrusive. Would not hesitate to recommend and hope to return in the cooler months to cosy up in front of that log burner!

    Loved everything! From the moment we booked Rebecca was very helpful and the whole experience was so smooth. Everything was perfect when we arrived, all the little touches made us feel very welcome. I have not slept so well in a long time! We have already recommended The Red Shed, aka a grown up Wendy house 😁😁, to all our friends and family!

    The Red Shed is cosy, comfortable and provides everything you need. It was within easy reach of Ickworth House and Bury St Edmunds. I don’t think I have ever given a score of 10 before, but I couldn’t think of anything that would improve it! The host Rebecca has worked hard to achieve this and she has succeeded.
