Guests say

Little Wissett in Aldeburgh is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its spacious and comfortable living accommodation, beautifully equipped interiors, and large garden ideal for pets and children. While some minor issues were noted, guests expressed overall satisfaction and a willingness to return.

The property generally received positive remarks on cleanliness, especially the kitchen and bathrooms. However, some guests noted the presence of dead insects and cobwebs in the lounge, and a dirty rug, which slightly impacted the overall perception.

The location is highly regarded, with the property being situated on a quiet road, a pleasant 20-minute walk from the town centre. No negative comments about the location were provided.

Guests found the property to be comfortable, with ample space and a well-decorated interior. The large garden added to the comfort, although one guest mentioned the shower could be more powerful.

Facilities were generally good, but some maintenance issues were reported, such as a faulty boiler and bed collapses. The main bathroom's shower was also noted as less satisfactory compared to the ensuite.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

About this property

Offering guests the best of both worlds: a tranquil setting but within walking distance of the vibrant town of Aldeburgh in Suffolk, Little Wissett is an outstanding holiday home. Perfect for large families or a group of friends, the accommodation has been meticulously planned and finished to an extremely high specification, ensuring guests have a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The open-plan living space is bright and airy and forms the heart of the home with light flooding in everywhere from bi-folding doors, a skylight and large windows. The comfy L-shaped sofa offers a great space for socialising or if you don’t feel like being sociable, make the most of the 50” flat-screen Smart TV or play a game on the XBox. A hatch opens into the stylish, contemporary kitchen which any chef will fall in love with and when the designated chef has finished preparing the meal, take a seat at the elegant dining table which enjoys a superb position next to the bi-folding doors opening onto the gardens. The enclosed gardens are a particular feature at Little Wissett with lawns, a patio and even a playhouse for little ones to enjoy. Plenty of outdoor furniture means whatever time of day it is, there will be a space to sit and relax alfresco whether it's a quick coffee on the terrace, lunch on the lawns or a beer with a barbecue, time spent at Little Wissett is time well spent. All that fresh air will no doubt have tired you out, so take your pick from any of four bedrooms; a super-king-size with its own TV and en-suite, a king-size and two twins. All are stylishly presented and offer a relaxing oasis away from the hurly burly of holiday life. The charming town of Aldeburgh is a short walk with its range of shops and amenities, pebble beach and famous brightly coloured beach huts and a scenic walk along the coast takes you to the picture-postcard village of Thorpeness. Hop in the car for outings to places such as Snape Maltings, concert hall and home to the renowned Aldeburgh Music Festival, Framlingham Castle, Easton Farm Park, Halesworth Museum, Adnams Brewery and Africa Alive Zoological Reserve. Why not pop into delightful towns such as Southwold, Kessingland, Dunwich and Leiston while you’re in the area? If you want to get close to nature, then check out RSPB Minsmere or take a walk or cycle ride anywhere within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and you’ll be rewarded with some great views and wildlife sightings.

The popular, vibrant seaside town of Aldeburgh is famous for its culture, traditional feel and one of the best fish and chip shops in the country! Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings are home to one of the world’s greatest music festivals and has been named as one of the top 50 places to live in Britain. Crag Path runs along the seafront dividing the beautiful pebbly beach from the unspoilt pastel-coloured seafront properties and the town. The beach is a popular place for groups and couples to enjoy the wonderful fish and chips throughout the summer months. The town is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. The town also offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants or why not buy some freshly caught fish from the huts on the seafront and cook up your own feast at home.

    House is lovely. Just the shower in the main bathroom Isn’t great. Other than that the house was perfect.

  • Liz

    Accommodation was very comfortable and the facilities were very good. The large garden was a bonus for our three year old granddaughter to play in.
