  We had a lovely stay here.

  We literally booked at 9.30am on Monday morning to arrive at 3pm that day and the house was ready for us: clean, tidy and warm. On the first night, we had a few issues with the lights and we thought there may have been an error code on the hot tub. The owners arrived within 10 minutes and sorted everything for us - it was just a lightbulb and no concerns with the hot tub. Before we arrived, we were concerned about possible building works next door which had led to a previous bad review but Sykes contacted the owners who said the works had finished. Day one was fine but we could hear some works on day two. These did not bother us though as they weren’t very loud and could only be heard when we were out in the garden but the owner popped across with a bottle of wine to apologise (we had not mentioned the noise to the owner at all.) This was quite unnecessary but was a really lovely gesture considering the owners could do nothing about it. The house was a really good size and the utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer was super handy. The front room was really spacious and the three sofas gave us ample room to spread out. We loved the large kitchen table - it set the scene for a dramatic game of Farmopoly - the boys loved the alternate version of Monopoly and the other games left for us. All in all, we would highly recommend Waldegrave Barn.

  Although I have a few complaints, after we settled in we had a great time and a good stay at this property.

  The camp site was clean and the on site restaurant was a nice place to have food and the staff were very friendly. The property we stayed in was very modern and very spacious, the 2 bedrooms were very nice and the beds were comfortable. Bathroom and kitchen were also great. The lounge area was also spacious with 2 lovely comfortable sofas. Unfortunately there were a few things that let it down. There was no mention that the swimming facilities were not free. Only free if you book through Hoseasons I was informed. This became quite an extra expense on top of the holiday price. There were lots of cobwebs in the corners of the property. There were human hairs on the dining table. There was an awful smell at times from the sink in the kitchen. The fridge didn’t have a frozen compartment (being self catering you would expect one) After we cleaned this property ourselves we had a great time. Lots of lovely walks and lots of things to do. I feel the above complaints are all things that can easily be rectified by yourselves for you to then receive perfect feedback by other's.

  Generally this is a very nice property, it is in a quiet Location with a pretty (but rather neglected) garden. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds comfortable. However there are a couple of things which would probably stop us booking again, we make regular trips to Woodbridge to visit family. These are 1/ the hot tap in the en-suite runs at such a low pressure it takes a number of minutes to receive hot water and then fill the basin enough to have a wash. 2/ the central heating is controlled remotely by the owner and the guest has no ability to regulate this- for us in a heat wave this was not a problem but in cooler weather it would not be acceptable. The owners need to appreciate that when they let their house out to guests the guests need to have control over their comfort. We do not feel that the owners have accepted this, their guest instructions are very much oriented towards those things you may not do, places on the property which must not be used. It is this and the implications which prevent me from giving more than a good overall assessment.

  When we arrived at Marsh Bungalow the first thing we noticed from the outside was that there was no decked area.

  This was contrary to the description given on the details. However the Bungalow was clean so this, although disappointing was not going to affect our holiday too much. The bed was really comfortable and the bedding had a lovely fresh smell but pet owners beware. We have a young dog who is well behaved but unfortunately he got onto the bed unnoticed by us and left behind some dirty marks. I was devastated and embarrassed by this and more than happy to pay for replacement bedding, however, I have been charged for two bed sets at £49.99 each. Upon asking the owners why they needed to buy two when only one was soiled, I have not had a satisfactory answer. This Bungalow should not be advertised as pet friendly, particularly as the bedding is white. I know my dog should not have been on the furniture but unfortunately as most dog owners will admit, these things happen. This is definitely not pet friendly.

  We found the property very comfortable and had a very enjoyable time.

  There were two small items we would like to mention. The lack a a freezer section in the top of the fridge, this is a necessity in a self catering property, not everyone can afford to eat out every day and having to shop every day takes time out of your holiday. Also were were not able yo use our freezer bag as wew could not freeze the blocks. The second item was the fact that there were two wardrobes in the main bedroom and not one in the second bedroom. The storage cupboard in the second bedroom could have been in the other bedroom making room for a wardrobe. This is for the site, there were three washing machines in the laundry and no dryer. We were there for two weeks and blessed with hot weather but wet weather would have made it difficult to dry anything, especially families who may be there with young children. Overall it was a very nice holiday but these small things in self catering properties do help
