Guests say
Guests appreciate the cosy and comfortable beds, the well-equipped kitchen, and the property's central location in Aldeburgh, close to the beach and local amenities. The sunny, private courtyard is a highlight. Some guests noted the property's period charm, despite mentioning steep stairs and some maintenance issues with plumbing and worn furniture.
The property is generally well-kept, with no major complaints about cleanliness. However, there was a mention of having to unblock a sink, suggesting a slight deduction for maintenance affecting cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for being central, with easy access to the town, eateries, and the beach, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing stay.
The beds are consistently described as comfortable and the courtyard as sunny and pleasant. However, some guests found the furniture, particularly the sofa and chairs, to be well-worn and in need of replacement.
The kitchen is well-equipped, but several reviews mention issues with plumbing and the need for maintenance. The steep stairs may also pose a challenge for some guests.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the owners, so it is not possible to assess this category.

The bed was really comfy and the settee and chair were fine There was a plentiful supply of crockery, cutlery and kitchen equipment. An amount of mobility is required to negotiate the stairs but that is to be expected in a period property. I would definitely stay there again.

Lovely and cosy, warm and the bed is soo comfortable. Sunny courtyard which is private and quiet. My only comments would be, a new more up to date hairdryer and a small coffee table in the lounge please.
