What our customers say about their holidays

  Excellent location and hot shower but everything else is poor.

  No BBQ or fire pit as advertised on the property listing. Could not light the stove as fuel provided would not light even with fire lighters and kindling. So not able to boil kettle for hot drink or heat the tent. This meant very cold nights. No welcome folder with instructions on how to work stove etc or who to contact for help. Would have been nice to have had some info about local area too. Bedding was stained. Poor attention to detail such as would be nice to have some hooks in shower area to hang clothes and towels, sink is too small to be able to fill bottles etc from tap. Description on website says electric heater which gives impression that there is electricity. There is but no sockets available for phone charging or hair dryer etc. This should be made clear on the description as well as no cooking facilities or cooking equipment. Overall a frustrating and cold weekend. Definitely camping not glamping.

  Generally v clean but shower room could have been cleaner around the sink area and bottom of shower screen.

  There were no shelves or hooks in the shower room for towels or toiletries which was a bit awkward. Although it was a very pleasant stay the price charged was a lot compared with other properties available for a long weekend in January considering the basic nature of the internal space. We loved the open field, the privacy and view but the fencing is not secure for small/ medium sized dogs. Our dog managed to crawl under the fence at the back but we caught him before an escape was made! All places we have stayed at with Sykes have a folder of useful information about local facilities and walks in the area, there wasn’t one here which we missed. It was lovely to have a welcome gift for our dog which was appreciated. River Lodge was ideal for a long weekend and was conveniently walking distance of the supermarket and Aldeburgh itself.

  We have had a fantastic one week stay at River Lodge.

  What a peaceful place with beautiful views. The lodge is like a tardis. I managed to get our weeks worth of luggage all unpacked and neatly away. The bed was very comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed. The freezer was a good size for the space and really great for us as our dogs food is frozen. The TV was a nice little extra we weren’t expecting and we could get all freeview channels. The enclosed wrap around garden was huge and our dog loved it. The fencing is excellent and totally enclosed. The local area was lovely with lots of places to eat and plenty of fresh fish. A Tesco and coop in walking distance was really handy. Even with all of this on our doorstep we felt like we were in a very peaceful and private spot. We would certainly recommend and would love to return. An excellent holiday had by all, such a fantastic place.

  On arrival we thought the outside of this particular property needed a little TLC.

  Access step’s & bannister rickety & in need of a repaint. Inside first impressions lovely & spacious, bedrooms fabulous. Facilities good but kettle & cutlery could do with replacing. Lounge curtains too long & bunched up on the floor, causing a trip hazard. The windows were not clean & tap in second bathroom was very stiff. I received the E-mail regarding “no water in the lake” the day we arrived so disappointed it was not as advertised. The site was not clearly marked on the entrance from the road (faded) & the long drive to the site was off putting. However our stay was comfortable & we had fabulous weather (loved the hammock) so enjoyed visiting places we had not been to before. We will use Sykes again of course but check information about properties thoroughly before booking.

  Had a lovely few days with great weather.

  The lodge was very comfortable and contained everything you would need. The decking area was nice and spacious and had very nice outdoor furniture, I particularly liked the hammock. I had to cut back a few bramble runners that were encroaching onto the decking though and some of the furniture had bird poo on it which had to be cleaned off, but for me that wasn't to much of a pain. The one big problem we had though, was getting in, we were putting in the code for the key and it would not open. It was about half an hour later that we found another key box around the corner attached to the front fence which worked. I think that could have been made more clear. The stay far outweighed the little niggles though.
