  The House was situated in a beautiful place with lots of outdoor space.

  Rooms were big and ample space. When we got there it was quite dusty and we had to dust everywhere as lots of flies on the window sill , in corners etc. For a place that holds 14 people the fridge/freezer was very small. Not enough pots and pans and we had to call the person in charge every so often as we weren’t sure about things in the house. The place was very cold when we got there and majority of the fire places were there for show. We weren’t told about the fire place that did work and had to go to the local Tesco to buy fire lights and matches to get it started. We had to find the the log cupboard which was situated at the back of the house but the neighbours told us where that was. One of the bathrooms needed a lot of work , lots of rust and just didn’t look nice, had a dirty feel to it. The toilets downstairs were so old and horrible as well. In general the amount of money paid for the week is really not reflected in the house. The internet was awful and never worked . We then found a fireplace in the kitchen actually worked and had a small fan heater under it but we discovered it 5 days after we got there. It’s a beautiful house and very close to lots of local places and I would go back as we know how to work the house and what’s where. But a lot of work needs doing in the house or the price should be dropped. The post stated 7 rooms yet we only had access to 6 , the beds were quite squeaky , so every time you turned it made a noise . All rooms had a sink but half didn’t work. There was no wood burning stove as stated in the post either . Some of the windows didn’t open either as it’s fire hazard as well . We were not told how to get rid of rubbish either but after speaking to the person in charge that was explained. Like I said it’s a beautiful house but needs modernisation. If your like us and happy to go in and dust it down you are fine. Just need a book of instructions on what works and what doesn’t and what’s where .

  Overall an excellent place to stay with a large group.

  The rooms are lovely and well furnished. The facilities are excellent. A couple of niggles: - The light in the fridge is flickering like crazy which is surprisingly unpleasant - blinds were not dropped in bedrooms despite it being a sunny day and the house was stiflingly warm (especially top floor) on arrival. Suggest you shut windows and blinds if you anticipate a hot day. - no blinds on south facing windows in the hallways, which meant on a sunny day it just got hotter and hotter. It would also help with heat retention in winter. - window opening set too small to produce a significant breeze. I appreciate that it is a safety feature, but could you have the locking bolts set a bit further up for a larger window open gap? Or fix the bottom window and allow the top to be dropped further thus giving a much larger opening? - the neighbouring pub was very noisy until 2am and then the clientele staggered around the high street shouting at each other. This may have been the heat or maybe this is just a normal weekend. Either way several of our guests suffered very bad night's sleep. I'm not sure what you can do about this. Is the area around the town hall designated as residential? If so, a statutory nuisance order would be possible. It was really very noisy! All of that said, it is a wonderful property for a large party. I would happily book it again for a similar event. All our friends thought it was fabulous. Many thanks. Marty

  This is possibly the biggest and most impressive house we have ever rented as a family.

  It is huge! The bedrooms and bathrooms are all beautiful. Also loved the lounge and kitchen area. The dining table is so big, even 10 of us only half filled it. Couple of things like the fridge needs fixing. It works but the door is slightly faulty and there's a flickering light. A toilet seat was coming off in one of the rooms but was fixed within a couple of days when I contacted the owner. As the previous reviewer mentioned, there's building works going on right outside the property. The time they start has changed to between 7.50 - 8am. First 2 days they blasted their music at this time! I let the owner know and this stopped so I do recommend letting her know if there's a problem as she did sort it to be fair. If I was the owner I'd be going nuts actually as these builders make the most noise 8-9am and then appear to do very little. We couldn't help feeling they were doing it intentionally. Don't let this put you off staying here as it's an amazing property. Carparking is across the road. Download the Ring go app. Not sure there's a way round this but I had to wake up 8am every day and pay for each 24 hours. £5.20 a day I think it was. There's a pub opposite called Cookfella's and we recommend trying this place. We all had a fabulous meal here. Love the location, so close to shops, take away's etc. If you want to stay in the town, this is the place to stay. It really is a beautiful building.

  This property saved our annual family holiday. We had our booked property cancelled a day before travelling so needed somewhere to stay in the Lowestoft area. We definitely got lucky with this choice. We rented the main house and basement apartment for a multigenerational family group of 15. Both properties were spotless, well equipped and incredibly comfortable. The first floor front lounge had incredible views out to sea, as did several of the bedrooms. The kitchen/ dining room became the hub of our stay- the kitchen was well equipped to cope with cooking for a large group. Bedrooms were all very comfortable and much sleep was had, despite the short lived dawn chorus from the seagulls in the area. Location of the property is great. Easy access to the south beach, or a stroll along the prom to the harbour and beyond. The cafe opposite serves good lunchtime food and the putting green next to that was well used by our group. From this base you have easy access (although not quick access- nothing seems to move quickly around this part of the country) to Southwold, Framlingham and other great Suffolk locations to the south, or the Broads or Norwich to the north. Plenty of good pubs outside the town make finding somewhere to eat easy. This is a great place to stay for large gatherings.

  Very highly recommended. We took over both the house and flat for a mixed family party of a dozen at the end of July and it was absolutely ideal. A fine house with well-maintained public gardens in front followed by a wide car-free promenade and an excellent sandy, clean and supervised beach. We used the public tennis courts which are only seven minutes walk away. The house was spotlessly clean and very well-equipped with kitchen and dining utensils together with a utility room with washing machine. Beds very comfortable. There are two sitting rooms on the first floor which we hardly used as the weather was so good. At the back is a patio and small, but pleasant and useful garden with three dedicated parking places behind (and free on-street parking at the front if you are lucky, which I was). The stairs might be a challenge to a less-able person - this is a mid 19th century house with high ceilings. Kirkley is definitely the best part of Lowestoft and behind the house is a very useful small High Street with shops selling everything you might need in a hurry. The composer, Benjamin Britten, was born in a house a few doors up the hill. The owners communicate very helpfully and unobtrusively.
