What our customers say about their holidays

  We all had a lovely Christmas stay at Meadow Lodge in Ufford, Suffolk - all the furnishings and touches made it a real home from home experience, beds were extremely comfortable, kitchen and equipment including the utility room were excellent and the real Christmas Tree in the lounge and all the Christmas decorations, wood burner as well as the very welcoming bottle of fizz and Christmas Card from Costas and Caroline made our stay all the more enjoyable! It was truly lovely thank you :) I would like to say however that for the price we paid the upstairs was disappointing and let the property down as carpets had numerous stains and should be professionally cleaned, the upstairs bathroom and ensuite to the twin bedroom both also require upgrading as the taps are very old and worn and sadly not in keeping with the rest of the house which is gorgeous. There was a large amount of limescale on them as with the sinks and toilets - sanitary ware should all be changed as in sinks and toilets to both. This was disappointing and let the property down as I said given the price for the property, that these aspects have not been rectified as there are many comments to this effect in the visitors book since 2013 which have not been taken on board. We also had a problem with the large amount of leaves directly around the property, particularly at the back, I appreciate that there are a significant number of beautiful trees in the grounds to the property, but as the leaves were immediately outside the doors it was difficult keeping them there and not walking or them being blown in!! - Perhaps a gardener could be employed with a leaf blower to remove the leaves directly around the house once they have fallen in Autumn?

  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.

  Did a last min booking for a few days here early October.

  We were really happy with the property. Good for parking. It was really well maintained and very clean with good quality linens and furnishings. Lovely comfy double bed ( also good sized bunk beds in 2nd bedroom but just used this room for out bits n pieces) good sized shower. A lovely seaside theme running through. Bright and modern. It had a private footpath close by leading to steps down to the beach. It was a great base for visiting places along the coastline, Aldborough thorpness, Southwold, beccles, Orton broads. We did so much walking. It is quiet in kessingland beach but does have a nice pub restaurant and fish and chip shop within 5-10 mins walk. Thank you for the lovely welcome items. The only thing was there was no Wi-Fi/broadband. We Had a really lovely chilled out few days and would love to go back again. Thank you June Royce & christine

  We did have a lovely stay and the weather was very kind to us which makes all the difference. The house itself is a lovely setting, and a lovely layout. Generously sized and worked really well for us as a family of 5 (and a dog). It was well located too for ease of getting to different places (Southwold, Thorpeness etc). However, I have to say that parts of the property are in less than perfect state of repair. There were a number of little niggles (such as a plethora of dead insects and cobwebs upon opening some of the bedroom windows which appear not to have been opened in a while, dead butteries in the remote, tired decor, stains, limescale taps, worn carpets etc) which should not be present in a property at this price point. At one point i'm sure it was all new and fresh but currently there are parts of the house that need redecorating and renovating.

  South Lodge was nicely furnished, comfortable and well equiped, with a pretty garden and garden room. We enjoyed staying there but the Lodge is situated on a busy road junction and noisy traffic is constant for almost 24hrs a day! Windows cannot be left open at night for fresh air and siting in the lovely garden is spoiled by the noise. Also, the access point is close to the junction and dangerous. We were almost rammed several times. This feature of the property is not mentioned in the advertising material. The property information literature instructs visitors to leave by 9am so, to avoid an early morning rush, we decided to leave the day before. Whilst leaving, we received a text from you advising that we should leave by 10am !!!!!!
