“The place was cozy, clean and warm with a welcome tray of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits!”

There was a trainer toilet seat and beach toys for children. There was a stool for the shower if needed and plenty of toilet rolls. Towels were lovely and soft. Tea towels were provided. There was also cleaning equipment! The bed was comfortable with pretty bedding. Hot water bottles were also available as well as an electric fire in case you got chilly. Lots of DVDs to suit everyone. We had a lovely, peaceful time and would definitely go again.

Carol October 2024

“Spotlessly clean and well appointed cottage.”

So much care has gone into making this a most enjoyable place to stay. So many “ extras”. The welcome tray even had decaf coffee, most unusual but very welcome. Fixtures and furnishings are many , all in good order and maintain a warm welcoming ambiance of a seaside cottage. Generally the cottage is well situated in a private well maintained complex with unobstructed sea views. All in all a most pleasant stay, highly recommend it and needless to say, we shall be back!

Steff April 2024

“Our first stay at Sunrise, and it won't be the last.”

....definitely a five stars score....it had everything we needed and more. We used it as a base for visiting various nature reserves, and to come back to the cottage after a long days walking was lovely. Sitting in the porch/conservatory , with the early morning cuppa, watching birds, the sea and ships was an ideal way to start the day. An excellent place to stay.

“We were lucky to see the owner as we got to the car park and she gave us a lot of useful local information.”

At the cottage we were very pleased with the cleanliness and the equipment in the cottage left nothing wanting, in all we were very comfortable and the bathroom was very good. The view was the icing on the cake across the lawns strait over the dunes to the sea and plenty of booklets with interesting walks and plenty of good eating places locally.

The only downside was the size of the fridge/freezer which was mini and inadequate for the food needed for a self catering holiday.

Michael October 2020

“Cottage immaculately clean and comfortable.”

Had everything we wanted and was very well located near the Suffolk Coastal Path, with a clear view of the sunrise. Our first time in the area which we found fascinating. The countryside and coast was fascinating; we did a lot of walking and running. So many nice resorts nearby and many upmarket villages and towns e.g. Dunwich. We got to see the Broads as well and many historical places including Framlingham Castle, Sutton Ho and even Great Yarmouth with the faded grandeur of its Golden Mile.

- Michael, October 2020

After they had left we found extra treats as in a box of biscuits and maltesers. We have been doing self catering holidays for forty years and we can honestly say this property is way and above anything we have been to before and when we visit this area again sunrise will be our first choice.

- Richard, October 2016
