Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as very clean and well-maintained, with several guests specifically noting the cleanliness upon arrival.
The location is highly regarded for its sea views and proximity to the beach, with easy access to local towns and attractions. Some guests found the immediate beachfront less sandy but appreciated the natural beauty.
The majority of guests find the property comfortable, with a few suggestions for improvements such as better access to sockets and heavier sliding doors. The presence of a choice of bedrooms and seating options contributes to the comfort level.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the property being well-equipped. Some guests mentioned minor issues with appliance access and a desire for air conditioning, but overall the facilities meet guests' needs.
While guests express gratitude for the homely touches and the welcome pack, there is insufficient information to determine if gifts are consistently provided, and therefore a score cannot be given. Guests should note that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

The property was clean and well maintained and had everything that you would require from a holiday property. We thoroughly enjoyed a peaceful break. It is a beautiful part of the country. Thank you

Good facilities and small but useable kitchen. Having a bathroom and shower room was helpful - just have to watch the door seal and bath screen seal as if not in place can cause both showers to leak. The weather in March was a little chilly and using panel radiators and towel rails kept a steady temp around 16 to 18 C and the electric fire topped up if a little chilly. The conservatory was perfect for sitting in the sun for lunch. If you like fresh fish the world of fish near Morrisons a 7 min drive away is excellent. The more local shops about 5 mins walk away are good with bakery, chip shop and co-op. Great communication with the owner and easy to access. Hope to return again. Also the local church has recently been completly re-thatched and can see it easily if you take a walk around the area.

It's a lovely place with great views over the sea, it's clean and comfortable and altogether very nice. They are looking to come back next year and stay here again. Just one niggle, the kettle was caked with limescale despite having a filter on it. Suffolk has extremely hard water so perhaps the kettle could be descaled once a month - just saying.
