  Arrived at Marsh View for a four night stay on 7th October, from the moment we arrived and was welcomed by the owner and her two delightful dogs. Our stay here has been relaxing and peaceful. With fantastic views overlooking the river and marshes. The property is in excellent order and well equipped with all mod cons. The welcoming hamper of basic food bread, milk eggs, cereal etc is a very nice touch. All little things to make you feel welcome. The property is Set well back from the main road into Aldeburgh with no traffic noise. For the energetic a must, is the walk from the premises to Snape Malting around 4 miles following a well marked footpath through woodland, heather and wonderful views over the countryside along the way. Arriving at Snape Malting and in need of refreshments and lunch this was taken at the Café 1885 on the first floor. We both ordered the sea food platter which was delicious an excellent choice. After lunch we strolled around the many retail outlets. All the staff we encountered here were very friendly and helpful. Time was approaching 16:30 walking back to March View was out of the question, which would mean returning in the dark. Phoned for a local taxi which arrived within 15 mins to take us back to March View. The next day was spent exploring Aldeburgh sea side town, a stroll along the beach with its many huts selling freshly caught fish. quaint houses and unusual shops. We stopped for lunch at the Lighthouse restaurant in the high street which had been highly recommended to us. The food and choice on offer are is excellent. Our four day break soon came to a end. However, I’m sure we will be back again soon to explore this part of the world again. Thank you for making us feel at home. We will return.

  This is hard to evaluate as we booked this for dates in May to coincide with a reunion event in nearby Verwood.

  Then came the virus and lockdown, the reunion event was obviously cancelled but this was not an option on this cottage without losing our full payment so we had to change our dates (for which we were charged extra). So a cottage which would have been perfect in May when we didn’t expect to spend much time in it was less comfortable in mid October. That is not a criticism of the cottage which was nice and set in a delightful location but it is a criticism of Sykes and their policy of not allowing a cancellation with a full refund. I’m sure that we had been choosing a cottage for October, we would have chosen something a little bigger and more comfortable. Sadly, we have the same problem with a cottage originally booked for July this year. Because of the extended lockdown in Scotland we had to move this to next July! Again, at extra cost to ourselves. No cancellation was offered. Our emails weren't even answered. We have been loyal customers over a number of years and stayed in a number of cottages but will not be booking a cottage holiday again.

  The apartment was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The bed linen and towels were of a high quality and the apartment was very well equipped with everything you might need for the stay. It was in a very quiet location even though it was quite close to the main road into Aldeburgh. The views from the living room and bedroom were lovely and we were lucky that the weather was very nice so we took advantage of sitting in the beautiful front garden. The only negative is that the apartment is described as being within walking distance of Aldeburgh High Street. This is misleading as it is two miles along the busy Saxmundham Road with no footpath in places. This meant that we had to drive every evening into town to eat/drink which is not ideal if you have already been driving in the daytime. On the plus side there were several lovely walks close by to the apartment, in particular the Sailors Path which was only a hundred yards from the entrance to the property. We would definitely recommend Marsh View and hopefully will return next year.

  I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Little Granary with my dog, and I can honestly say it was the perfect retreat!

  From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease in the tranquil and picturesque setting. The view of the pond was absolutely breathtaking, providing a serene backdrop for our getaway. The accommodation itself was cozy, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully designed, offering every comfort we could ask for. The attention to detail made it feel like a true home away from home. My dog loved exploring the nearby surroundings and lounging by the pond while I soaked in the peaceful atmosphere. It’s rare to find a place that combines such beauty, comfort, and pet-friendly hospitality. The Little Granary exceeded all my expectations and provided us with a much-needed escape. I can’t recommend it highly enough for anyone looking to unwind in a stunning rural setting—whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with your furry companion. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
