What our customers say about their holidays

  Vine Cottage is just what we hoped it would be. It’s large enough for all eleven of us ( eight adults, two children and a baby) plus two Labradors, to be together. Both the house and the garden are well equipped. We loved the hot tub. In the house we really appreciated having two fully equipped kitchens, including two fridge freezers and two dishwashers. The dining area was big enough for us all to eat together. There are two sitting rooms so one turned into a play room. The bedrooms were clean and attractive. The beds were comfortable. A great advantage, because of the children and dogs, was that upstairs is accessed by stairs with doors that can be closed. It’s just a stone’s throw from beautiful Walberswick beach, with its crabbing bridges. On the green there is a small play park for the little ones and several shops just a stroll away. We ate at The Anchor and the cafe, which were both enjoyable. A high spot was the ferry across the river to Southwold where we ate at the Harbour Inn and strolled into the town, returning along the beach. We thoroughly recommend Vine Cottage for a delightful break.

  A lovely, characterful cottage, or two in reality, merged into one. Two kitchens, which was handy as we had both meat eaters and vegans amongst us. The setting in Walberswick is really lovely, affording interesting walks and sunsets over the trees and the water. Visiting in winter parking was not a problem (four cars) within the small drive and the street where the cottage is. Restrictions apply at other times. As a setting for an annual weekend away for our amateur writing group the cottage suited very well, with lots of corners to hide away and write, and a generous sitting room to come togehter as well. A splendidly big table was great for shared meals! We all agreed, despite a few minor niggles (the house was freezing cold when we arrived, would have been good if the heating had been turned on for us) we would definitely come again.

  We absolutely loved the Walberswick area. We took our dog with us and the walks from the house were varied and interesting. We are certainly looking to visit this area again. There are so many places to visit in Suffolk that a week was not long enough, hence the need to return soon. Fairhaven is a lovely house with plenty of room for a family. A huge, well tended garden and everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The beds are very comfy with good quality bedding. Plenty of fridge and freezer space and lots of storage cupboards in the kitchen. I would certainly choose the same house again if I was having a family holiday. The garden is a great asset, especially if there are young children who need to have room to run around. The kitchen is well equipped except for sharp knives. A few more for food preparation would be useful.

  The property is wonderfully situated in Orford with brilliant views over the river. The access is easy, although don’t drive the lane more than five miles an hour, its bumpy. There are a lot of stairs and some don’t have hand rails. There is no toilet on the middle living level where the kitchen and lounge are. You either go up to the master on-suite or down to the bathroom downstairs. The house though is very comfortable and well presented. Although we did report some issues with the kitchen equipment and the patio doors. But urgent request did get fixed by the local team quickly. The pool is massive and heated, so kids will love it. We will return next year, as it’s such a well-placed property with great 180-degree views and these are hard to find.

  Lovely weekend spent here.Beautiful house and gardens .Very well equipped for all the family inside and out .Only a few problems,one including the smoke alarm in the kitchen being situated right above the cooker and hence constantly going off ,beautiful open fire but just a few logs to burn ,a few lights not working but no spare light bulbs .In the second double bedroom the hairdryer was getting very hot !!,Only small things otherwise perfect .All the family together for a wonderful fun and relaxing weekend .Such a shame that we could not get in until 4.00 and had to leave at 9.00 Sunday morning ( hard with little children ) and no time for breakfast.Hopefully times will change when Covid eases.We would definitely like to return.
