Our first visit to Hillcrest and hopefully not the last!
By Vera and Malcolm on 03-May-2026Our first visit to Hillcrest and hopefully not the last! We so appreciated Julia's warm welcome to this lovely house and beautiful surroundings together with watching the antics of the bantams! The welcome pack was so generous and delicious, thank you. The chocolate cake and ginger biscuits were such a bonus on the top of everything else discovered on the table, fridge and bread keeper. There are so many details Julia has included in Hillcrest which have made our stay so relaxing, comfortable, happy and not wanting for anything. We have been so fortunate in having wall to wall daily sunshine so that our visits to villages, towns and the coast have left us with many memories. A wonderfully happy and relaxing few days which have left our batteries recharged.
Everything feels so welcoming
By Paula, John and Ralph on 22-Apr-2026Returning for another stay and it's just as fantastic as we remembered. The location is absolutely perfect, the house is stunning and everything feels so welcoming. The Welcome Pack is such a thoughtful and generous touch. Already looking forward to coming back again.
We spotted Roe Deer, Muntjac and Marsh Harriers.
By Stephen, Gilly and Bonsi the Cockapoo on 10-Apr-2026A wonderful stay at Hillcrest and we lucked out with glorious weather which enhanced the views from the garden onto the fields. We spotted Roe Deer, Muntjac and Marsh Harriers. Thank you for going to the extra effort of making vegan biscuits, cake and jam in the welcome pack!! We've definitely wound down staying here and our Cockapoo Bonsi loved it too. Favourite places we visited - Walberswick & Orford. Sutton Hoo was amazing and great picnic area in the riverside field overlooking Woodbridge. Southwold and Aldeburgh worth exploring too. We will be back again!!
Hillcrest is amazing and the welcome pack is second to none.
