Good location and nicely decorated cottage but the front patio was ‘enclosed’ by a very low wall and the mattresses were uncomfortable.

A beautifully presented townhouse tucked away behind the Brudenell Hotel, minutes away from beach, shops, cafes etc. Very steep stairs not suitable for elderly. TV issues irritating but Suffolk Secrets staff couldn't have been more helpful in resolving. Super comfy 4 poster bed.

Cottage very clean and ideally situated close to beach and town. Parking was not ideal as private parking space was taken by a car which clearly had not moved for a few months. We had booked the cottage specifically because of parking so we were disappointed to find a parking space was not available on arrival.
