Red Brick Retreat Reviews

Christine
Lovely cottage in a great location. Mike & Julie are fantastic & friendly hosts. Everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. Thank You. xx
Excellent, Stayed last year and was so impressed stayed again this year when we usually like to explore different places. Its small but has exactly what was needed for a very relaxed short break. The only difficult thing is not loosing track of time and staying up late .
Really lovely property ideally located for Bury, Norwich, Ipswich and the coast. We were visiting family pre Christmas so out and about all day. It was lovely to return to a cosy base and clean hot tub each evening. The property is very clean with a decent mattress, decent shower, quality towels and plenty of them and hot tub checked daily when we go out. We have stayed at few places in the area and these are the things that make a difference and we will definitely book again. Owners are on hand if you need them but leave you to enjoy your break. The welcome pack was very good too, plenty of tea, coffee and essentials as well as some special treats which we very much enjoyed. Keep up the good work Mike and Julie, youve got something very special here.
We had a lovely time! The cottage was lovely and clean and Mike the host was amazing! The hot tub was brilliant!
We stayed at Red Brick Retreat in November. Mike the host was great, very friendly, funny and put us instantly at ease. On arrival there was welcome gifts of prosseco, cake, eggs, bread, butter and more. The cottage itself is super cosy, clean and decorated beautifully. It has everything you could need for a break away they haven't forgotten anything. The hot tub is big and very clean and comfortable with built in lights. You're not allowed to go in the hot tub after 1030pm which isn't ideal for a romantic break but we still loved it. There was no smoking and for this I would suggest allowing a designated outside smoking area as long as guests leave it how they found it. The hot tub was cleaned regularly but unlike some other cottages where the owners turn up without letting you know, Mike would only come through the garden to clean it when he knew we were out or said he would text if we werent going out. Which is really great and adds to the privacy. This cottage is in the owners garden and is right next to their house and the neighbours, this wasn't a problem for us but if you're looking for something more remote then it is worth noting. The bed was super comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for Mike he was very kind and a great host. We've given 5stars because it deserves 5stars.
A great wee retreat in a good spot. Diss railway station took us to Cambridge, Bury st Edmonds and the Norfolk Broads. A good wee golf course in Diss as well. Julie and Mike were very friendly and welcoming, taking time to settle us in. There was a lovely welcome pack too. We had one minor issue and it was dealt with quickly and pleasantly. Couldnt ask for more. We would recommend the Retreat to anyone.
Amazing retreat! So cosy and comfortable and has everything you need for your stay including some welcome treats which were highly appreciated. The bed is super comfy and the hot tub is a fantastic way to relax. The hosts have truly made a beautiful retreat and Mike met us on arrival and showed us the workings of things we needed to know. We would highly recommend this to any couple as the perfect get away.
We had a delightful stay at the Red Brick Retreat. Julie and Mike were very welcoming. The hot tub was lovely and immaculate, as was the retreat. We will be staying again. 1010 all round!
Mike was an absolute gentleman couldnt wish for a better host. Loved the welcoming pack.cake to die for
Nicholas
From the moment me and my partner arrived to the moment we left Mike and Julie made us feel extremely welcome . We was only there for a 2 day romantic break but on arrival we had a prosecco waiting for us along with a lovely piece of cake. The red brick retreat was exactly what we needed and we struck gold finding this place when we arrived it was immaculate and was a home from home we made full use of the facilities not to mention relaxing in the hot tub after a day on the Norfolk broads. I cannot recommend this place enough and without a doubt we will be back for a longer visit .
Beautiful property offering all luxuries of home. Only downside was the proximity to a fairly busy road.
Claire
Do not have a negative thing to say about the red brick retreat it was just perfect from the location to the hot tub and everything in between. The accommodation was top class well equipped with everything needed for our short break with the added bonus of the lovely welcoming gifts fresh cake and prosecco and lots more to be enjoyed. Mike and julie well done for creating a small piece of heaven .Definitely will be booking again.
The cottage is fabulous what can you say about the hot tub wow superbly maintained everything you could wish for. Mike and Julie are the perfect hosts. The welcome pack was greatly appreciated plus all the little extras that were provided were wonderful. The bed was so comfortable the place so clean in fact we couldnt find anything that was even the slightest bit negative. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Beautifully presented and a very warm welcome including a welcome pack Great base for touring around and every comfort included.
Totally amazing stay we had a fantastic time really couldnt fault a thing about the property or are hosts very lovely people thanks so much we will be back.
Louise
We stayed here from the 3rd to the 6th june and it was just perfect. One of the deciding factors of booking here was that the hot tub was covered which came in very handy when it poured down one afternoon! On arrival there was cake, juice and Prosecco amongst other things and after 5 hour drive coffee and cake went down a treat. The property was immaculate all the way through and the kingsize bed was very comfy. Im already planning another stay for next year!
Nathan
Lovely host, very helpful and friendly. The retreat was very nice and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. A nice place to go and relax from the hustle and bustle of work.
Cannot fault the property at all the place is amazing. Every detail has been thought of. This was our first little break away as a new couple and we had an amazing amazing time. Cannot recommend red brick retreat enough we will happily return in the not too distant future. Thank you again to our hosts who made our short little break one to remember.
Trevor

Douglas
This property exceeded our expectations, everything you require is available and maintained to a very high standard. Mike and Julie were the perfect hosts, available when required but leaving us to enjoy the peace and tranquility.

Agnieszka

Michael
Excellent welcome pack including wine, bread, and home made cake. a warm and inviting property with the hot tube well maintained. Owners close at hand should they be needed, Plenty of parking room. Felt very comfortable.
What a lovely little place with everything you could need for a home from home stay. The little extras that were added were such a lovely touch, the cake and prosecco went down a treat. Even the hot tub area was made homely and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to friends. Mike and Julie the hosts, are so friendly and on hand to help out if needed but leave you to just enjoy your holiday, you couldn't wish for better hosts with lots of knowledge about the area. Lots of places to go and visit if you don't mind a drive out and nice places to eat or order in a takeaway. And final note, the bed was so comfortable we didn't want to leave.
Excellent place to stay. good introduction by owner then only contact if wanted. Had no problems everything worked was warm and comfortable and perfect for couples wanting an intimate break together.
Red Brick retreat is a very well appointed, cozy, comfortable, well positioned place to stay. Dark skies provided great views of the stars at night. Mike and Julie are very welcoming and helpful, provided a generous welcome package that was much appreciated and who doesnt love a hot tub. We really enjoyed our time there.
Isabel
The cottage was lovely, warm and cozy. It was perfect for a short break away. The hot tub was a perfect temperature for the cold evenings and luxurious. Also wasnt expecting all the complimentary treats left for us including a bottle of Prosecco. Would recommend!

Anthony
Very nice property, we really enjoyed staying there. The host was very friendly and helpful, the welcome pack was amazing
Mike and Julie really looked after us and the house was perfectly set up. Every detail was well though out and made it a home from home.
We stayed for 3 nights. Every detail was well thought out right down to a reserved parking space. We loved our stay from start to finish and could not fault it. The hot tub was definitely a highlight and the welcome pack of goodies was delicious. Julie and Mike were brilliant! We would have no hesitation recommending!
My wife and I throughly enjoyed our stay. The welcome we received from Mike & Julie made us feel at home immediately. A thorough tour of the property was given to us along with detailed explanations of the main facilities. The owners were always happy to help whenever needed. A five star cottage , strongly recommended.
Lovely property hosted by two excellent owners. Hot tub a real treat!
We had a fantastic weeks holiday. Perfect accommodation, very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Mike and Julie were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Welcome pack and hot tub were an added bonus. Only wish we could have stayed longer!

Debbie-jo
What a fantastic find this place was, we were not disappointed and spent a wonderful weekend just relaxing in this excellently renovated building and most importantly the hot tub which was beyond all expectations, Mike and Julie were very welcoming and the hosts of hosts with their exceptional eye for detail and such a lovely thought out welcome pack on arrival. I would give more than 5 stars and would recommend to family and friends and most definitely be returning later in the year. Thank you Mike and Julie it was such a pleasure. Debbie and Andrew.
My partner and I had a lovely break at the red brick retreat! I would recommend 1000 times. Mike and Julie showed us around the beautiful property and made us feel very welcome with some lovely cakes, Prosecco and other goodies. It was a very relaxing retreat and the hot tub was amazing! I will definitely be booking to stay again. Lots of local shops! The only downside is the chickens on site did wake us up a few times in the early hours. Overall I highly recommend!
Lovely place. Owners had thought of everything even provided a lovely care package with everything you need. Very cosy and modern would definitely recommend.
