Everything was absolutely perfect. We had plenty of space to park our two cars. Itâs a very peaceful street and just a couple of minutes walk into the centre of Aldeburgh. Weâd love to come back again. We didnât have children with us but it looked great for families with the stairgate, toys and big garden with a play house.

We love the space it offers and the configuration of the rooms is perfect. Very little to fault. Itâs a big house and only thing that needs improving is the standard temperature the house is set to. We were unable to adjust it. It was quite cold whilst we were there and just added an extra layer. Other than that we would return in a heartbeat!

Only disappointments being no real welcome essentials, thanks for the bubbly but bread and milk would have been nice. Also just 3 small logs for the log burner seems very mean! Those things meant after a 6 hour drive on a Friday pm we had to go straight back out to stock up. Otherwise a fab stay.
