“We have just returned from our holiday at Kessingland staying at Seascape Cottage.”

Everything was satisfactory and we were able to cook some good food every day as the facilities for doing so were perfect. Plenty of hot water for baths and showers. A freezer which enabled me to take my dietary needs. It was home from home, but with the additional pleasure of the sea view. We shall be going back again next year.

Ray September 2024

“Stayed mid September.”

And this was our first visit to the area . Property was nice, well equipped and comfortable. In a good location for day trips. Great views of the sea. We could not fault it.

Colin October 2023

“14 - 21st September 2023.”

We had a lovely week at Seascope holiday cottage. Everything was to our liking and although we had a day of rain we were able to keep cosy and have our coffee overlooking the sea from the balcony. This is really home from home for us. We return twice a year every year. Colin and Margaret

- Colin, October 2023
Roger September 2023

“We enjoyed a great break in a comfortable property with brilliant sea views.”

First impressions of Kessingland were not brilliant but as we got to know it better our first impressions proved erroneous. I'd happily come back! It's a great place for beach and inland walks and the location is really good

- Roger, September 2023
Leigh August 2023

“Seascope cottage was more than we expected.”

It is in a good location with lovely sea views and near all amenities. We would definitely return here.

- Leigh, August 2023
Natalie August 2023

“Had a lovely week, 3rd time of visiting, and everything you needed in the house.”

Great location for visiting other areas Lowestoft, Southwold is gorgeous and Great Yarmouth. Onii lol y thing I didn’t take my hairdryer and there wasn’t one but I managed. Will be back again.

- Natalie, August 2023
Simon July 2023

“Excellent stay as always, 6th year on the bounce and already planning a return.”

A real home from home.

- Simon, July 2023
Jacqueline June 2023

“The cottage is very well appointed and very well looked after, we really enjoyed our stay.”

The only problem was the TV aerial cable seemed to work sometimes then signal would drop and think there was a lose connection in the lead. Also the TV remote did not function very well so probably needs new batteries or the buttons are worn. The DVD remote did not work at all and when we looked to see if needed new batteries they wee leaking inside the handset. We reported these issues to the maintenace man so he could sort out for next arrivals. Apart from that it is a great house and very comfortable. Beds are a bit hard for us but that's just us. Could do with a freezer compartment to make ice or put ice cream in but apart from that a great place to stay. I know there are no bins in the house so we took our own bin bags and we had no issues. The bathrooms could do with a couple more hooks and a towel ring/rail near the sinks. Would definately recommend.

- Jacqueline, June 2023
Carole June 2023

“We have stayed in many cottages with Sykes, this is the first one that did not have bins for waste, this was very awkward as the bins were in the car park, which meant you need bin bags to put rubbish in to take to the bins, again not something you normally take on holiday.”

no cleaning products such as bleach for the toilets or cleaning spray for the kitchen(not something you would normally buy or take). It would have been nice to have an ice box in the fridge. The views are fabulous and it was very peaceful stay

- Carole, June 2023
Chris May 2023

“The overall experience was amazing.”

Support was really good from a man called Pete. Would loved the corner suite instead of 2 small sofas but like I said the experience was amazing . It was clean and fresh. The local amenities covered what you needed it if you didn't need to go anywhere. The walk on the seafront to lowestoft is great and you can catch the 99 bus back to the house

- Chris, May 2023
Mark And Tracey April 2023

“Lovely comfortable accommodation with a nice sea view.”

The corner shower was great. A lovely welcome pack as well. There's only a larder fridge. It didn't effect us this time but if we were there in the summer I would miss not being able to freeze some ice blocks.

- Mark And Tracey, April 2023
Colin March 2023

“We have had many happy holidays at Sunscope and hope to have many more.”

It offers all the facilites required for a good holiday.

Colin November 2022

“We have just returned from a week at this property, and had a really lovely week.”

The weather was mixed but in spite of this the accommodation was perfect whatever the weather. The facilities are ideal, all we needed to make some good meals, and the views of the sea are the icing on the cake. It's our favourite holiday destination.

- Colin, November 2022

Thanks for the feedback. As always we hope to see you for many years to come. Peter Property Owner
Michael October 2022

“A good place to stay, nice outlook over the sea and a good base to explore the area”

- Michael, October 2022
Susan October 2022

“Had a most enjoyable week in mid October weather kind to us.”

We spoke to at least 3 owners of properties on site & was encouraged by how happy they are there. Property was clean & comfortable location great. If owners want to reach 5* they could consider hand towels for each person + 2pillows per bed. Luckily we took our own. The reasoning behind having no bins in the property due to lingering odours does not make any sense, as you have to keep food waste & any other rubbish hanging around on the worktop over night, it is totally impractical to walk through a very poorly lit carpark in the rain & dark every time you have rubbish.

- Susan, October 2022
Heather October 2022

“Very nice with a great view.”

Lots of DVD's supplied. Nicely decorated. Well equipped. TV remote needs replacing. One three seat sofa would be nice because both were very small two seat. No rubbish bin in the household at all. Had the information warned me, I would have taken bin bags. Last part of directions were poor. We had to wander around to find it, lots of 'private ' signs made us think we were in the wrong place. Information booklet was written in 2015, with no mention of 'Sykes' anywhere.

- Heather, October 2022

Prior to all guests arriving we send a text or email fully advising on the recycling and to prevent odours we do not have rubbish bins in the property. Nobody has found the directions difficult to follow in all the years we have been renting out through Sykes Cottages. Lastly if there is ever an issue we also supply a personal phone number and for maintenance and cleaning to make contact. Stay safe and well. Property Owner
Dave August 2022

“Excellent location, lovely place to stay I didn't give full marks for facilities because the shower in the upstairs bathroom did not clear fast enough and being a shallow tray water spilled out over on to the floor.”

- Dave, August 2022

I wonder if removing the plug would have helped? Property Owner
Laurence August 2022

“Cooker had food stuck to element.”

Wrong door code given and inner door lock to entrance needs fixing. Everything else was lovely and the view is spectacular. Would definitely stay again as overall the property is lush.

- Laurence, August 2022

Hi Laurence, we give both a cleaner and maintenance phone number to contact to put right any issues. Had you called the element could have been sorted. As for the key code it was sorted immediately. We strive for 100% feedback as given by most of our guests and this could have been achieved had you called. Apart from that you are welcome back anytime. Stay safe and well. Property Owner
Michael July 2022

“Small freezer would have made the property perfect in the hot weather to store ice cream and make ice for drinks”

- Michael, July 2022

Agree Michael but space is an issue and to put a total home from home kitchen in is difficult. Hope the holiday went well. Property Owner
Simon July 2022

“Returning for 6th time, feels like a home from home.”

Always an excellent and enjoyable stay

- Simon, July 2022

Thanks Simon, be trouble getting you to vacate next time… Property Owner
Brian June 2022

“The property was very well presented.”

Clean,cwell equipped, and beautifully positioned. It lived up to the expectations we had from the listing and would highly recommend it.

- Brian, June 2022

Thanks Brian, we aim to please. Keep safe and well. Property Owner
Siobhan May 2022

“Lovely cottage, great location.”

We had a fantastic stay. Would thoroughly recommend. Special thanks to the House Keeper, Louise. Not only is the property spotless, but Louise also helped us with some other issues (ours not the property) and could not have been more helpful or kinder. Will be back! Thanks again for everything.

- Siobhan, May 2022

Thanks so much, our team pride themselves on guest relations. Glad we could help. Property Owner
Fiona March 2022

“One of the nicest places we have ever stayed at in UK.”

Hope to return.

Barbara November 2021

“Seascope was located in a fabulous location overlooking the sea.”

The property it self exceeded our expectations making our stay very comfortable. Thank you for our enjoyable welcome pack. We will definitely be back for another relaxing holiday

- Barbara, November 2021
Michael October 2021

“Very relaxing and quiet location overlooking the sea.”

No need to go any further if you don't want to, close to shops and eateries. Stunning scenery, look forward to returning next year.

- Michael, October 2021
Susan September 2021

“Lovely area and property very good.”

Good walking from the door. Parking good.

- Susan, September 2021
Belinda August 2021

“Really enjoyed our stay at seascope ; it proved to be a perfect base for going off exploring the stunning coastline and surrounding areas.”

Having the garden with a private entrance to the dunes was a highlight of the property and a perfect quick access for one eager pup. Having a 2nd bathroom off the kitchen with a bath was also ideal for cleaning pup down after a dip in the sea. **The property doesn't have a freezer or icebox so might be worth bringing your own ice making machine if the though of a warm g&t of an evening is not appealing. On a whole we thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay and would highly recommend.

- Belinda, August 2021
Susan August 2021

“The lock on the downstairs toilet is is very stiff.”

Afraid a child could lock themselves in and unable to unlock it from the outside.

- Susan, August 2021
Sarah July 2021

“Seascope far exceeded our expectations, with its best feature being the location.”

A stroll down the steps led to the vast grassy dunes and the pebbly, dog-friendly beach beyond. Considering we were visiting in peak summer time, it was like having the beach to yourself, with other beach users just a speck in the distance. . The property itself was tidy, light, clean and ideal for our requirements, and the view of the morning sunrise from the main bedroom was truly amazing.

- Sarah, July 2021
Daniel July 2021

“Lovely cottage with fantastic views of the sea.”

I miss waking up to that view! I will be back one day I hope

- Daniel, July 2021
Simon July 2021

“5th visit , always enjoyable , a real home from home”

- Simon, July 2021
Ian June 2021

“This was our second visit to Seascope and we had a wonderful time.”

The cottage was as well maintained as it was 5 years ago infact most of the furniture had been upgraded since our last visit. I would like to say that we would return again but looking at the vast increases you have imposed for next year {almost £2250 for the same week} it is very unlikely

- Ian, June 2021
Roger May 2021

“The position of the cottage was excellent as there were lawns in the front which led down to the cliff face with its own private gate to take us down to the beach and excellent views of the sea with yachts sailing by.”

- Roger, May 2021
Neville April 2021

The hot water needs to be turned down as it is far to hot and in fact it's almost boiling it would be nice to have a refrigerator with an ice box and a larger frying pan and some more teaspoons but the beds are very comfortable and of course the views wonderful

- Neville, April 2021
Michael October 2020

“An ideal place to have a very relaxing holiday, peaceful with a great view of the sea, we hope to return”

- Michael, October 2020
Ian October 2020

“A special thank to your Becki who, when you had to cancel our original booking literally the morning we due to leave for our cottage near Holt, found this special place for us.”

The views were brilliant and the ability to just walk down onto the beach from our cottage was brilliant. Lovely and well kept place and our thanks to the owner who let us use it. my only comment was if they had left a bucket and mop |I would have washed the floor before we left. Nevertheless this place is highly recommended.

- Ian, October 2020
Melody October 2020

Diane February 2020

“We love this cottage and return time and time again in fact we book the next visit while we are there!”

Its a lovely cosy cottage beautiful new comfy beds well furnished the owners a joy to do buisness with. I cannot praise Sykes enough pleasant, courteous and quick, efficient, makes our holidays perfect. And the spectacular view, even in Febuary the sunrise never fails to lift the heart.

- Diane, February 2020
Neal December 2019

“Was a lovey setting, and was exactly as the description, any questions we had were answered very efficiently and then followed up to ensure there were no further problems.”

Beds were comfy and the view on Christmas morning was stunning looking out on clear blue skies and the sea as a mill pond. I would definitely recommend the property to anyone visiting the area, especially if you are a dog owner, there are some beautiful walks and the beach is dog friendly. Thankyou for a great Christmas week, made even better as the property had been festivly decorated which was a fantastic touch.

- Neal, December 2019
Alison October 2019

“We loved the beautiful view of the sea from the bedroom each morning.”

The accommodation was very comfortable although lacked attention to detail. The shower upstairs dribbled out small drops of water and was unusable. The shower downstairs kept sliding down and was difficult to use because of this. The kitchen utensils for cooking were very poor quality. We had to buy a large frying pan and the one there was small and very worn. The curtains in the lounge were hanging off in parts. The interior front door didn’t lock. The pillows were very flat and uncomfortable. However, the location was wonderful. You must keep your dog on a lead on the front green area but once you get to the beach, down some very steep steps, they can run free. The Sailor’s Home pub is to the right, about a ten minute walk along the beach, and serves home cooked food at a reasonable price. It’s dog friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our week but probably won’t return due to the above mentioned points. These things make a wealth of difference to me and would be easily put right.

- Alison, October 2019
Shirley June 2019

“Very comfortable cottage.”

Fantastic position overlooking the sea. Well equipped and clean. Only downside were the showers. Very low pressure especially upstairs.

- Shirley, June 2019
Neville March 2019

“Curtains at front window in need of repair.”

Kitchen utensil 's bit cheap especially the potatoes masher Shower upstairs bit slow & downstairs the cold water tap was not usable. Otherwise a lovely cottage in a beautiful location we shall return again .

- Neville, March 2019
Colin March 2019

“We have just returned from a week staying at Seascape and have really enjoyed it.”

The cottage is comfortable and well maintained and the view is spectacular. We will definitely be returning later in the year for another enjoyable week.

- Colin, March 2019
Karen March 2019

“Back bedroom needs a mirror for ladies getting ready to go out .”

My friend struggled with a small hand held mirror. Need an internal bin as you don't take rubbish out immediately so end up with recyle stuff hanging about looking a mess.Used the bag for messy black bin stuff but again it's hanging about on show.maybe a nice bin in the corner of the front porch. Everything else was delightful loved sitting on the upstairs bedroom balcony taking in the view. Thank you was a lovely holiday.

- Karen, March 2019
Diane February 2019

“As ever a wonderful week in a delightful warm and cosy cottage.”

Lovely interior comfy large bed everything we needed in cottage beautiful sea view all you could ask for.And springtime weather Sunshine aii the way!

- Diane, February 2019
Diane November 2018

“Everything about this holiday was perfect the holiday cottage was well furnished warm and inviting.”

2 bathrooms in a 2 bedroomed house is a luxury. Wonderful sea view upstairs balcony and a small sofa in the seafacing bedroom was the icing on the cake.we watched the waves ships and dog walkers on the beach on the sofa! A lazy wonderful week.already booked for next year.

- Diane, November 2018
Trevor October 2018

“We would have liked an enclosed area to allow the dog out without having to put a lead on and take it for a walk.”

Generally we would pick a cottage that has a garden.

- Trevor, October 2018
Gilmour October 2018

“The location the view very handy to get around”

- Gilmour, October 2018
Michael September 2018

“The location absolutely brilliant, views across a well kept grassed area straight to the sea.”

Very quiet and relaxing, car almost essential, within easy reach of Lowestoft, Southwold and Aldeburgh and for a bit longer day out, travel to Felixtowe (this town amazed us, really nice and well kept) with it's nature reserve and container ship watching as they come and go from the port. All in all a great stay in Suffolk.

- Michael, September 2018
Pamela August 2018

“On Arriving cottage had not been cleaned.”

Went back at 3.30 st cottage not been cleaned was told it would be 2 more hours before we could get in. Finally got in at 5.45 to no loo roll dirty curtains on patio doors, bedroom lamps dirty and the shade falling apart. Very little water pressure on both upstairs and downstairs shower. Sofas totally different to what was in the pictures at time of booking. In able to lock inner patio doors no key plus hand clip broken. Boiler in master bedroom came on 3 times throughout the night every night. Boiler not boxed in so it’s the first thing you see when you open the wardrobe. Second time we have stayed at the complex different cottage last year. This year loved the holiday let down by accommodation.

- Pamela, August 2018
Mark July 2018

“This is the second time we have stayed with Sykes and are returning in December and have had superb time however on both visits it's just tiny things that let it down for example The kettles in both houses are always in very poor condition The upstairs shower had no power The inside patio door did not lock There is no kitchen bin The blinds in the bedroom were falling to pieces They may sound petty but they are things you use every day and just let it down a little bit it's just attention to detail that spoils an otherwise superb accommodation it's not so bad that we would never return,we are there again for Christmas!”

Just updating the well used items would be the icing on the cake and doesn't cost a fortune Otherwise a cracking holiday with superb views first class beaches and Mediterranean weather!!!!!! We will return time and time again Many thanks for a great holiday Susan & Mark Shaw

It would have been nice to have a small freezer,overall the holiday was good and excellent location,we had to contact owner and he was very helpful in sorting our problem out

- Tommy, June 2018
Allan April 2018

“We had a great quiet week at this property.”

it was warm and comfortable even when the weather wasn't so kind. The best bit was waking to the bright sunrise through the front windows, where the view of the sea and beach area was amazing. operation of the door locks and window handles were quite stiff and in need of a service but were functional.

- Allan, April 2018
Andy March 2018

“The cottage was extremely well equipped.”

Location was perfect for beach walks with our dog. The area between the 2 sets of French doors was perfect for drying off us and the dog. Internet was good enough to stream catch up tv. Pub is also a short walk and dog friendly

- Andy, March 2018
Neville March 2018

“The key safe is a bit of a problem it needs a little wd 40 or possibly replacement The lock to the steps was impossible to open possibly due to the weather but it's not as descriped by jml as a key code lock it's just operated by a large key .”

All in all its a lovely cottage and to be able to lay in bed and watch the waves is a sheer delight

- Neville, March 2018
Trevor March 2018

“Owner was most polite and helpful when there was need to contact him.”

- Trevor, March 2018
Emeritus Professor C February 2018

“A good site with excellent parking.”

One or two small household appliances were missing and would have helped. We left a suggested list. The site is spacious. Excellent beds.

- Emeritus Professor C, February 2018
Heather December 2017

“Fabulous cottage just minutes from the beach we walked miles along the coast and actually our springer pup was worn out a difficult thing to do !”

Quiet area with fantastic views especially from the bedroom.

- Heather, December 2017
Neville November 2017

“Internal door doesn't lock otherwise everything else was fine & the cottage was in a beautiful location one of the nicest we have ever had the beach was a joy and totally unspoilt no complaints at all thanks hope to come back next March.”

Jane November 2016

“Good value for money.”

Clean warm and comfortable The view is why I booked

- Jane, November 2016
Stephen October 2016

“An excellent property in great condition.”

Although sleeping four there were only two cereal bowls. The corkscrew was broken and there was no can opener. Very minor defficiencies although quite significant when you are trying to open a non ring pull can ! Lovely location for great beach walks. Would highly recommend and would definitely be interested in rebooking.

- Stephen, October 2016
Patrick October 2016

“I have never been into a rented cottage that was so clean and inviting,especially the main bedroom with the butterfly duvet cover.”

Very Lovely .The one thing I will say is that a harder and higher armchair would be fitting for older couples as we are,and I am disabled so I found the sofas too low and soft for me. Also a dishwasher would be nice too.

- Patrick, October 2016
Philip September 2016

“The most tranquill and relaxing we have ever had.”

The only problem was the distance we had to travel. Pity the property and location wasn't a lot nearer!!

- Philip, September 2016
Martin June 2016

“The property was excellent, we were very impressed and we have already booked again for next year.”

The property was very clean an spacious and a wonderful view. We would definitely recommend this property to family and friends.

- Martin, June 2016
Jennifer June 2016

“We love the location of this holiday cottage.”

The facilities are excellent. We came last year and immediately booked for this year and are going to book for next year.

- Jennifer, June 2016
David July 2015

“The location of the property was excellent in relation to the beach which was found at the bottom of some steps at the back of a grassed area.”

Amenities like shops and pubs were within walking distance through the village or via a short walk along the beautiful beach. There were absolutely fantastic sea views from the property particularly from the balcony on the first floor double bedroom - the sunrise in the mornings was a great way to start the day. An ideal property for those who have a dog as there are beach and coastal path walks on the doorstep. There were plenty of laundered towels available in the property which was a real bonus, and the property was well kitted out with other household items. We had a wonderful holiday and have recommended to family and friends. We would definitely return if the opportunity arose.

- David, July 2015
Jennifer July 2015

“We loved the location of the property and its immediate surroundings.”

The view was outstanding.

Lynn October 2014

“The location of Seascope is wonderfully quiet with a superb outlook and we loved the proximity to the extensive beach and walks, it was all very relaxing and the cottage was ideal.”

- Lynn, October 2014
J July 2014

“Comfortable property, good views and great walks.”

- J, July 2014
Terry July 2014

“Unique coastline.”

Good view. Not a typical beach front for bathing etc but relaxing and slightly wild. There are many historically interesting and attractive places nearby. I feel close to older cultures when I move around the churches, pubs and broads. I am a big fan of Ronald Blythe, the local author whose books have lived with me ever since I started reading him thirty years ago. I found brasses in churches that I had rubbed thirty years ago so it was pretty special.

- Terry, July 2014
Larry June 2014

“We enjoyed it from the moment we arrived, it was better than expected.”

We felt whatever the weather it could not hinder any of the location's enjoyment. There were great views of the sea. The people around were friendly and even our dog loved the walks. We have stayed in many places, this must be counted in the top ten for views, amenities and general all round well-being.

- Larry, June 2014
Edward February 2014

“Good views of the sea and the location around the property.”

The beds were very comfortable and the bed linen and towels were excellent; lovely and warm for a winter stay and there was plenty of hot water. This was our second stay and we will be back again.

- Edward, February 2014
Melanie February 2014

“We loved the location and how comfortable the cottage is.”

It really felt like a home from home. It was nice to have the Co-op nearby and the big Morrisons just up the road. The views are amazing and direct access to the beach was a great plus. We would definitely stay here again.
