These areas are well worth visiting and both are ideal for taking a trip to the Heritage Coast and the Minsmere Reserve (rspb). Other nearby attractions include Southwold with its pier, Aldeburgh with its many restaurants, and Dunwich Beach renowned for its fish and chip restaurant situated on the beach. The wonderful beach resort of Great Yarmouth is also worth a trip and is just under an hour’s drive away; with fantastic sandy beaches and a bustling town centre waiting to be discovered, you are sure to find something to keep the whole family entertained.

The layout was great for a group booking and initially all looked to be fine, however it shortly became clear that a lot needed to be improved. Note: I have booked a lot of properties with Sykes over the years and can confirm that the standard of this property was suboptimal as described below: - The welcome gift of wine and biscuits was not provided. - The pots and pans had to be cleaned before we could use them, some having burnt on food. The pans in the oven were in the same state. There was a rusty colander. - Lots of mugs and plates were chipped. - The dishwasher didn't clean properly due to dirty filters and clogged spinners and had to be cleaned. - The power socket to the left of the patio window in the twin room was loose and not flush to the wall. - The garden side of the house has four patio doors of which only two could be opened and these could also do with attention. The other two doors and windows could not be opened due to lack of keys. - The patio is also in need of attention with weeds growing everywhere. - Towels and bed linen were of very poor standard, thin, ripped and frayed. Originally white but were grey and unpleasant. - The games room/garage had not been cleaned in a long time and was not a great place to spend any time. - The house was advertised as providing BBQ facilities, but these proved to be old, dirty and rusty. - The garage contained a water filter/ conditioner unit. Again it was extremely dirty both inside and out. - The washing machine again dirty. So much so that we did not use it. - The snug has two settees, both well past their best and uncomfortable. One has lost its base structure so that when you sit in it you struggle to see over the arms to see the TV and it's hard to get up from. It is a shame as the house could be nice and is situated in a lovely village. This is the basis of the review I plan to provide.

Great location, everything we needed was available especially kitchen items for all ten of us. A lovely warm welcome with the heating on and the log burner was used to make it even more cosy. Thank you for our stay
