  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.

  When we arrived all was good so we both went out to the garden without our two dogs just to check that the garden area was secure .

  we found that the two gates on either side of the garden were open so we shut them then let the dogs out . all was good for the next couple of days . we did see that the bin for the rubbish had been removed but the gates were then closed . on our last night we came in at about 4.30 pm let the dogs out and I then picked up the black bag to put out and then I found that there was both gates wide open and one of our dogs was missing . my self and me wife then started to shout out for our dog and could not see her anywhere . at the end of the houses to the right there was an alleyway to the main road so we both went down the alleyway to the front of the house which is on a main road . I went to the right and my wife went to the left and while my wife was looking she saw our dog at the edge of the road so she shouted for her to stay and she did so my wife was able to get her and bring our dog back . both of the neighbours knew that we had dogs as they had seen them so why they left the door open . my wife was in bits all night thinking what could of happened . we put our comments in their book at the property stating that we would never come back to stay at this property . if they can’t guarantee that the gates are closed the they should have another gate put up at the end of the patio where there is a wall in place and then this could be locked and you could let your dogs out into this safe area before they go into the main garden. I do believe that all dog owners and parents with small children should be aware of this problem .

  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.

  We stayed for a weekend just before most schools break up.

  Getting the key was smooth and trouble free.We found it clean, comfortable and very nicely decorated. The kitchen is stylish and equipped with everything you would need for your stay. The bathroom (which is on the ground floor) is modern and has both a bath and a very good shower. There’s a long, narrow and rather featureless garden with patio and lawn. The location is very practical if not particularly picturesque. It’s just a ten minute stroll to the seafront. We had no problem parking right outside the property while we coming and going. For shopping there is a Co-op very close by. I was going to list some criticisms but then they were so trivial I thought they looked a bit silly so I deleted most of them. Elderly or very young guests might find the stairs a bit steep. It might make sense to have the Wi-Fi password on a sign in the kitchen rather than slightly buried in the property information file.
