  !st week of September booking for us - our Anniversary! We couldn't have chosen better - it was a home away from home

  . Everything was thought of - even a hairdryer (although it was suited for drying not styling). The kitchen was fully equipped - all the tools you could possibly need on holiday, and some you might not - even a fully loaded spice rack; condiments, and tea, coffee, sugar. As a conscientious renter we did make sure that we replenished any of the consumables - seems only fair! Plenty of blankets, for those chillier nights - not that we had any on our stay. A super comfortable bed ensured a good nights sleep. I did take my eye mask, so as to ensure no light pollution woke me too early, that did serve me well. The bathroom was spacious, with a good shower over a deep bath - absolutely splendid. Will, the owner, left a really useful information pack on the table, detailing local places to visit, and the history of the cottage - very informative, and most useful. If any further info was needed there was a very knowledgeable neighbour (Pete) popping into view most days - he was friendly and helpful. We made use of the recommended local chippy and Chinese takeaway (who delivered to us). Both were detailed in the info pack - and yes, they were definitely worth making use of. With some doggy treats left for our four-footed fur-baby, we were totally settled for a delightful week-long stay. Would we go back? A resounding YES! Anything we would change? No, everything you need is there - it is for a self-catering holiday after all! Thankyou Will - we loved it!

  We loved the beautiful view of the sea from the bedroom each morning.

  The accommodation was very comfortable although lacked attention to detail. The shower upstairs dribbled out small drops of water and was unusable. The shower downstairs kept sliding down and was difficult to use because of this. The kitchen utensils for cooking were very poor quality. We had to buy a large frying pan and the one there was small and very worn. The curtains in the lounge were hanging off in parts. The interior front door didn’t lock. The pillows were very flat and uncomfortable. However, the location was wonderful. You must keep your dog on a lead on the front green area but once you get to the beach, down some very steep steps, they can run free. The Sailor’s Home pub is to the right, about a ten minute walk along the beach, and serves home cooked food at a reasonable price. It’s dog friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our week but probably won’t return due to the above mentioned points. These things make a wealth of difference to me and would be easily put right.

  6 Coastal Cottage was perfect for our two-night weekend stay.

  We were three adults and two dogs, using the cottage as our base while visiting our daughter who lives in Suffolk. The cottage was warm and cosy during a cold spell, which was a comfort after beach walks with the dogs. The cottage came with a full list of instructions for utilities, including heating. The oven instructions were particularly helpful, as it had a quirky way of being turned on involving the clock/timer. The cottage presented well upon our arrival. It is small, so for a longer stay with three adults and two dogs, we would look for something larger, especially as we had our daughter and her partner visit for an afternoon. However, the images and description on the website accurately reflect the cottage. During the summer months, the outside space would be a bonus. The dishwasher was a bit tired but still functioned fine. Ideally situated for beach walks, which are just a two-minute walk away. Overall, a comfortable stay.

  The cottage is very well appointed and very well looked after, we really enjoyed our stay.

  The only problem was the TV aerial cable seemed to work sometimes then signal would drop and think there was a lose connection in the lead. Also the TV remote did not function very well so probably needs new batteries or the buttons are worn. The DVD remote did not work at all and when we looked to see if needed new batteries they wee leaking inside the handset. We reported these issues to the maintenace man so he could sort out for next arrivals. Apart from that it is a great house and very comfortable. Beds are a bit hard for us but that's just us. Could do with a freezer compartment to make ice or put ice cream in but apart from that a great place to stay. I know there are no bins in the house so we took our own bin bags and we had no issues. The bathrooms could do with a couple more hooks and a towel ring/rail near the sinks. Would definately recommend.

  The cottage was very cosy with ample facilities.

  I particularly liked the dog biscuit bowl and dog cleaning facilities. The welcome bottle of Cava was a nice touch. I also loved the historical photos in every room. The inside of the cottage had obviously been recently painted to a high standard and I really liked the colour scheme. The position of the cottage was ideal for us as we wanted to visit the nearby bird reserves and quaint seaside towns. The short walk to the beach and dunes was ideal for dog walks. The enclose garden was also ideal for our spaniels. It was also touching to receive regular messages from the owner, Will, who could not have been more helpful. We has a wonderful week of great weather and some breathtaking wild life encounters at Minsmere and Dunwich Heath.
