  Had the Potential to be Good. The location within the countryside was great for peace & quiet and observing wildlife from the windows - lots of pheasants all over the place. It is close to the coast & easy to visit the main places we wanted to : Southwold, Sutton Hoo, Aldeburgh & Thorpeness. It was spacious enough inside but we had a few niggles -  It needs some homely touches - pictures, rug, some colour on the walls.  It felt cold & unwelcoming.  The website shows cushions on the sofas but they were not there so we used the spare pillows instead.   There were no tea towels but there wasn't a draining board for the kitchen sink either so nowhere to stack dishes washed by hand. The beds all had duvets & covers that were a size too small e.g. Kingsize bed but must be a double duvet & cover, not good on colder nights, same for the singles beds. Plenty of hot water & the heating was adequate although took longer to react as it's an air source heat pump.  We couldn't find any instructions for the heating except "adjust the temperature" but didn't say how.  We did work out how to operate the controls but others wrote in the Visitors Book that they couldn't use the heating & were cold.  The Freezer was in the Utility room, in a side building but better planning could surely have included it in the kitchen area? Biggest problem - the Freezer was unusable when we arrived as it was frozen solid, the door wouldn't close & the drawers were iced up.  The ice & frost would have built up over time & should have been defrosted well before reaching that state.  This "freezer frozen solid" was actually mentioned in the Visitors Book by the people who were there the previous week but either the book was not read, the freezer not checked (as a matter of course) or totally ignored.  As we expected to be able to use the freezer, we defrosted it ourselves throughout the Sunday.  That meant mopping up drips then drying inside which took several hours & throwing away the frozen food we'd brought with us.

  My husband and I decided to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary at this place and we were happy with our decision 100%!

  We haven’t been away from kids and haven’t spent time just two of us for nine years. And wanted a secluded, quiet and romantic place with a hot tub and fire pit. We got all what we wanted and hosts were so welcoming and hospitable! We felt looked after and at the same time without any pressure or feeling that anyone is around. We enjoyed fire pit and got wood supply without any limit and we appreciated that this hut had everything one needs for a getaway like that. It was cosy, warm, sparkling clean and very comfortable everywhere. It has all a couple needs for a romantic stay! Bed sheets were fresh and crispy and plates, cutlery and cooking appliances were hug quality and it was nice to eat and drink using them. Hot tub was amazing! It gave us couple of hours of joy and pleasure sitting watching stars and enjoying silence and listening to music! Loved every minute there and I agree with other reviewers that this is a place to remember and keep coming back to. It’s definitely on our list to come back when we get another chance! Lovely place! Thank you to the hosts/owners! We will be back :)…

  Spotlessly clean and very cosy and welcoming.

  Love the touches like the pretty cushions and pictures on the wall. Everything there you would need for a lovely break. Location is fabulous for getting out and about too. We took our dog with us too, and it worked well for us. With it being end of October we took clothes etc for all weather, and that is the one thing that would have been tricky if we had got soaked in terms of where to hang things to dry off. We definately will go again. It does say sleeps 4 (pull out sofa bed) but I would say you wouldn't want 4 adults, but would work if two were youngish children or younger teens, as I think they would love the novelty of the Pod. Which, to be honest, was why I picked it too, being a bit of a kid at heart. Our first holiday taking our rescue dog, not sure how she would settle, but she loved exploring when we walked her round the site. If we had been staying longer and weather had been better, we would have used the footpath at the back of the site to walk to Hornsea and the beach

  The welcome pack was very nice and the property is very spacious. The location is very good for lots of places to visit in Suffolk and Norfolk. We enjoyed watching the pheasants in the adjoining field. Most of the equipment we needed was provided ( except a draining board as we don’t use a dishwasher for the few pots that we use ) . This property could be really nice, unfortunately it has not been looked after and is now in a state where it needs a deep clean, inside and out. It is difficult to find as the signage is not adequate. The cleaning does appear to be minimal ( I am aware that the cleaners do not have a lot of time between guests) . Although the booking form says 1000 departure, the cottage information book says 0900 , so we departed a day early. We had very good weather which made all the difference and we enjoyed the things we managed to do.

  Excellent experience, I’ve not stopped in a pod before.

  Decor is minimalist to sophistication,the structural design is well thought to assist guests. A choice of light with glass frontage, makes possible to enjoy the view either from within or preferably to sit out. ‘ there is also seating area to each pod outside’ If required blinds and curtain to close for privacy. There are a few steps to the property, yet inside is one level ,if you struggle with disabilities ‘ maybe a ramp’ . The owners have done a marvellous job by maintaining and organising this place. I was particularly impressed with ‘only chemical free’ products are used for cleaning. There were other guests stopping in caravan’s, motor homes and tents. Although a busy time, the volume was low. Hence a peaceful nice atmosphere. White rose caters for all ages , families thus couples or single persons. Julie
