What our customers say about their holidays

  We love the place but it sadly needs some things attended to: 1.

  It is not clean above waist height. Big old cobwebs on shelves and all pictures on walls are really dirty and have never been wiped clean. 2. The BBQ is completely rusted and unusable. It could not heat to a temp that could be cooked on and is a health hazard. Sausages were on it for over 30 minutes with all three burners turned on full blast and they were still not fully cooked. 3. The oven is a similar problem. All the controls have the writing missing and it was impossible to use without knowing what knob does what and seeing the heat settings. 4. The bed pillows are disgusting to behold!!!!! Underneath the clean linen they are full of old hair, dirt and detritus - truly foul and horrible. I want to add that we love Valetta, we have been before and have booked to come again, but since you asked our opinion, I thought I would answer constructively. Regards. Steve

  We had a very enjoyable holiday at Barrie House. A problem with one of the showers was attended to promptly and although unable to be fixed during our stay, was dealt with satisfactorily. Communication with the owner was prompt. The cleanliness wasn’t up to standard. We found a mouldy loaf and wraps in the bread bin and some towels we suspect, weren’t clean. The property had obviously been empty before our stay and should have been checked before our arrival. The property itself was very comfortable and well thought out and instructions very clear. We particularly liked the artwork around the house. One thing we would change, the size of the towels - they were tiny!

  Great location.

  Great views. Pebble beach. Mad people swimming early morning !! Needs a little tlc on paintwork. Heating problem sorted quickly - thank you Miranda. Leak under bath reported to Miranda. Sorry but guests said there was a musty smell in smaller bedroom. Finally found the freezer in the shed but the two fridges were very welcome. Take your own comfortable outside chairs as only a wooden table with benches and one sitting out comfortable chair and one quite old deck chair. Concrete steps to beach quite steep. Garden near beach could do with some tlc. However, all that said - we had a great holiday despite some rain and strong wind. Thank you.

  The Courthouse has a lovely, spacious living / dining area which is perfect for an extended family gathering following a day on the beach or out walking, with a large dining table, separate breakfast bar, not to mention a hideaway mezzanine level perfect for children. As well as this, the house is perfectly positioned in Thorpeness, over the road from the lovely Dolphin pub and only a quick stroll from the golf club. Would definitely recommend this for larger groups, but also, as it has been for us, an opportunity for a small party to enjoy a lot of space, I'd challenge anyone to find a property with more available in Aldeburgh or Thorpeness!

  An Ideal Holiday Stay for an Extended Family ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An excellent property which was ideal for our party of 9 including a 1 year old and 4 year old. The large living area gave the children plenty of space to play. The dining area again was ideal to seat everyone comfortably around the table . The kitchen was well fitted out with everything that we needed. The bedrooms were spacious, bright and clean. The three showers / baths meant there was little queuing in the mornings. The secluded and well kept garden gave a safe and welcoming space to be outside. The house is ideally situated within easy reach of the sea, shop, pub and boating lake.
