    “From our earlier stay in April to this latest stay, not sure why the house has gone downhill so much?”

    The curtains in the lounge won’t properly draw and need taking down and re-hanging or replacing with new heading tapes and hooks. There is a foul aroma of urine in the ground floor WC that comes from the toilet brush. The main bathroom shower surround is falling off and the rotten/black mouldy wood is showing underneath. The garden wasn’t even swept or shrubbery trimmed. There is no welcome pack of any description, not even any kitchen roll or even 1 extra toilet roll. For the money charged ...

    The curtains in the lounge won’t properly draw and need taking down and re-hanging or replacing with new heading tapes and hooks. There is a foul aroma of urine in the ground floor WC that comes from the toilet brush. The main bathroom shower surround is falling off and the rotten/black mouldy wood is showing underneath. The garden wasn’t even swept or shrubbery trimmed. There is no welcome pack of any description, not even any kitchen roll or even 1 extra toilet roll. For the money charged for this house it’s quite unacceptable. I’ve stayed twice now, but for this standard, at such a high price, there won’t be a third stay.

    - Nikki, September 2024

    I'm very sorry to hear that you were disappointed. We do make it clear in the property details that no welcome pack is provided although one can be requested from Best of Suffolk in advance. We left the house in early September - I'd personally trimmed the bushes, jet washed the garden and swept up the leaves. The cleaner does sweep the garden but leaves will fall. I can only apologise about the curtains, they have now been rehung, thank you for pointing out the issue. The shower has been fixed. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

About the location

ALDEBURGH

Thorpeness 2.1 miles; Saxmundham 7.2 miles.

The popular, vibrant seaside town of Aldeburgh is famous for its culture, traditional feel and one of the best fish and chip shops in the country! Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings are home to one of the world’s greatest music festivals and has been named as one of the top 50 places to live in Britain. Crag Path runs along the seafront dividing the beautiful pebbly beach from the unspoilt pastel-coloured seafront properties and the town. The beach is a popular place for groups and couples to enjoy the wonderful fish and chips throughout the summer months. The town is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. The town also offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants or why not buy some freshly caught fish from the huts on the seafront and cook up your own feast at home. For those wishing for a more action-packed holiday there is excellent walking, cycling, sailing and golf at Aldeburgh. Growing in popularity you will want to return to Aldeburgh again and again!
