The Kennels at The Yair

The Kennels is a lovely comfortable and clean property located on a beautiful estate. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, eating leisurely breakfasts on the sun soaked terrace, whilst looking out over a small but pleasant garden and listening to birdsong. Olly was very welcoming and we couldn’t fault the cottage in any way. We plan to return! Thank you. Hilary (Ipswich)

Wonderful anniversary

Well, we have just returned from Kennel Cottage and we are already looking for when we can come again. This is a beautiful property with a beautiful surrounding estate. There are few words to help describe how amazing our little weekend away was. It was unforgettable and Olly was super helpful. A hidden gem! We will definitely be back!
