What our customers say about their holidays

  On arrival the first thing I didn't like was the parking space, it was very tight.

  We entered through the back gate and this was our first clue, the latch was broken so if the wind got up it would bang all night. The yard we entered was unclean with rusty old steps going up and a rusty metal plate on the wall. We retrieved our key from the dirty key safe and entered the kitchen, our spirits raised a little as this was a spacious area and looked not too bad but there was a strong musty smell that wasn't nice. There was no welcome pack of any sort. As we explored the kitchen we found the freezer to be full of food with no room for anything we may have wanted to put in it. We then went to the living room at the front of the property and again there was the musty smell with the furniture covered with old musty blankets and certainly not where we could spend our evenings. At the back of the property was the bedroom which was like a cave ! There was only the overhead light, which had a low voltage bulb, with no bedside lamps. The pictures on the Web site showed 3 or 4 lamps in the room which I liked as I enjoy reading before I go to sleep, but they were non-existent. Finally there was the bathroom. This may well be the worst room of all. It was dark, damp and had mould on the shower curtains, horrible. This was the final straw for us, we phoned Sykes and told them we would not be staying. Due to health problems in the family this was my first holiday for two years so the last thing I wanted to do was leave but there was no way I was staying there. In fairness to the owner we were given a refund a week later. If the property had lived up to the advertising, without the smell, it would have been good, it looks as though it needs some TLC

  1 Millstones was an ideal holiday cottage for the two of us and our dog but plenty big enough for two more people in the twin bedded room that we did not use. The house was absolutely immaculate, very comfortable and very well equipped. The garden was sunny, large and very pretty. It was also safely fenced, so we felt confident that our dog could not escape. Not that he would have wanted to — he loved both house and garden. We took his bed and sleeping crate and he was totally happy. Walberswick is a lovely place. It has a good village store and an excellent little delicatessen, The Black Dog. There are also two tea gardens. We enjoyed wonderful walks through varied landscapes, and on lovely beaches, including a fun walk to Southwold including the famous Ferry ride across the small river, the first time our dog had been in a boat. He loved that too. The cottage kitchen was good for cooking in, with a large pine table, but we ate most evenings at The Anchor, about 150 yards from the house, which has a large, heated marquee, perfect for these Covid times, and good food. Other details: the cottage bathroom was clean and pleasant, with a good shower over the bath. The WiFi worked well and the TV included access to Netflix. This was a special holiday for us, our first time away for very many months. I would recommend 1 Millstones and Walberswick and the surrounding area to anyone. Who would need to go abroad?!

  A super apartment with everything we needed for our stay in Southwould, booking was easy and all communication good.

  On arrival we had an issue with bed linen being stained which was promptly rectified by very helpful team both on the phone and in person which was awesome thank you. The apartment is in a super location and well designed and maintained however the apartment above could do with better soundproofing particularly in the bedroom section. We were unlucky that during our short stay both groups/family’s that stayed above us were up VERY early in the morning with alarms going off and showers being taken at 4 am and 6 am/6:30am so disturbed both us and the children in the bedrooms bellow. With the second set of guests arriving we sighed relief feeling we would have better luck however we were then met with very loud snoring and yet again another very early wake up call. Soundproofing was not an issue in the lounge / living area so it was a shock the bedroom was such a issue. Is it possible also that there could be an anti allergen pillow/ bedding supplied? … the beds were very comfortable however I’m allergic to feathers and the down bedding meant I slept with jumpers between my face and the bedding so as not to suffer soo badly. On vacating the apartment we also found the hoover broken with a note attached to say that it was out of order by a previous guest. It meant our experience in the apartment was mixed this time yet having stayed with bestofsuffok before we were expecting good things.

  Beautifully renovated property, lovely kitchen space, great heritage colours, superb location.

  Great books. Had a few issues though, drain outside bathroom overflowed into back yard which we had to clear out, perhaps needs mesh cover to prevent leaf debris etc. Water temp. setting o.k for shower (not steaming hot but acceptable), but bath temp. no good, used once but luke-warm. Disappointing as beautiful bathroom. Back yard could do with sweep. T.V reception for BBC no good, got for about 30 mins in whole week! Is booster needed/possible? DVD player would be good offering if better tv reception not possible. Used radio a lot! General other feedback .... lounge furniture looks nice but not very comfortable and some cushions/pouffe a bit faded and tired. Difficult at night on arrival to find parking area, a number on the wall and gate would be really helpful at the end of a long journey! Went round block several times. In the property more door hooks would be good or perhaps a coat-stand, only 2 hooks on back of bathroom door. Bathroom supplies hadn't been replenished. Despite above feedback, we still enjoyed the property very much and exploring the area.

  We were impressed with the quality of the property, for example the well-equipped kitchen, fluffy towels and gorgeous bedding.

  It felt like a lot of thought had been put into making sure everyone has as good a stay as possible. The photos don't really do justice to some aspects of the property, like the spacious king size bedroom, high ceilings and elegant hallway. We also loved the access to the Common. This isn't mentioned in the property description, but provides a shorter route to the seafront. (Having said that, the location is incredibly central anyway, while also being quiet and tucked away.) My only criticism would be that I'd have appreciated a summer weight duvet. But the property worked brilliantly for the 3 of us and we'd happily stay again. For anyone thinking of booking, don't be put off by the lack of parking. We always managed to park virtually outside, despite visiting in the main school holiday period.
