“The Peach House is beautiful and feels like a home rather than just a holiday home.”

We appreciated the little touches and all the furniture and equipment - thank you! The location is ideal for exploring Aldeburgh and our stay was excellent - cosy despite the poor weather! We did feel that there were a few areas of maintenance and repair to be undertaken that would make the Peach House perfect - some of the tiles in the largest bedroom en suite were loose, and the showers could benefit from a deep clean. These aren't showstoppers and hopefully can be completed in the quieter ...

“Peach House was a lovely place in which to base ourselves for a week in Aldeburgh.”

The location is ideal since it is one road back from the seafront and has a long drive so that it is peaceful and private. We didn't move the car all week since the seafront, all walks, the shops and the smokeries are right on your doorstep. The house was spotlessly clean with some wear and tear in the showers but no more than in a normal home. The rooms are large and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and the host was very responsive when we wanted to let ourselves in early. Aldeburgh is a wonderful place for a holiday and we would stay here again.

“Well kitted out, very confortable.”

We enjoyed our stay very much. Only small problem was no hand shower in the bathroom - wet hair unavoidable! Thank you for a great stay.

“Good property usually.”

7th stay. Unfortunately lack of communication meant a plumber turned up one morning expecting the property to be empty so he could do 2 days work on the boiler. He asked to do make a repair and we allowed him in for 3 hrs while we went for a walk. An email arrived from Skyes as he was leaving. I rang but totally unsatisfied with explanation. They said they would ring to check all ok but didn't. The boiler stopped working day before leaving. I emailed Sykes, no reply.

“Great location, well equipped but could do with some updating in bathrooms and a fresh coat of paint throughout.”

If updates were made to decor and tiling fixed in bathrooms this would be a 5 star property Unfortunately the pipe issue resulted in us losing a day but the service and support was exemplary from Best of Suffolk.

“Very comfortable and well equipped.”

Slight problem with mould caused by condensation in the middle bedroom's bathroom. Problem with door handle in 3rd bedroom's bathroom. Someone got locked in twice and had to be let out from the other side. It would have been nice if the heating had been set to come on before our arrival instead of after.

“Peach House was perfect for our needs - three couples (and a dog) celebrating a birthday.”

Three double bedrooms, all with en-suites are difficult to find and the beds were very comfortable. The house is in a great location in Aldeburgh near the beach, shops, pubs and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return. One minor point to make is that glass bottles and jars must not be put in the recycling bin. We didn't realise at first and as they are put in our recycling bin at home we started putting them in and had to remove them again! Although there was a note in the information folder, perhaps a note by the recycling timetable in the kitchen would be helpful?

“We’ve all stayed here friends together and separately at other times with family.”

Every time peach house has been exactly what we’ve wanted. We will be booking again next year. Thank you

“We’ve stayed in The Peach House a few times over recent years.”

Overall it’s been fine & the layout & position suits us. There is an air of neglect about the garden now. Unkempt & weedy. Shrubs in dire need of control. Grass uncut. Exterior woodwork in need of attention. Interior needs a repaint. A small thing but the ‘Henry’ vacuum cleaner was absolutely chock full..I managed to remove some of the bag content but a new bag needed..I dare say the owners are considering a general overhaul.. I met them a few years ago & they seemed quite pleasant..I wish you & them well. Edward Jowett

“We did have a very enjoyable holiday at The Peaches.”

We have been here once before in April and will probably come again next year. The beds were very comfortable and in general the place was very warm and cosy but, and these aren't complaints but comments/observations on Peach House. The area around the showers where water had come through needs looking at as it is taking the paint off the walls. The toilet seat in the main bedroom is coming away and needs fixing. I know they had trouble with one of the showers which does show up on the kitchen ceiling quite badly. I also feel that the TV is very old and really needs replacing with a bigger screen. I know we don't go on holiday to watch TV but nearly everywhere awe have stayed in the last few years has a much better TV. None of these things would put us off going back again but I really feel the time is right to give the place a makeover and sort out some of these problems. I shan't be giving it a bad review as I would like to go there again next year. Thank you

“We have stayed at Peach House several times, and always enjoyed it.”

You can't actually see the sea, but it's only a short walk to the Moot Hall area of beach. The house is well-furnished, the cupboards well-stocked, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Housekeeping has always been excellent. There is a separate fire in the main room for cold spells/evenings, plus a good range of children's toys and books there. Outside is not quite so suitable for younger children: no contained space for toddlers, or play things, and there is an enticing but potentially dangerous spiral staircase) But there are a table and chairs for adults. I would advise you to bring eye-masks. The bedroom window coverings are attractive but let though light. Our bedroom faced the morning sun early on. Peach House is in a central position (easy to walk in to town too), nicely luxurious with its en suite bathrooms and wide beds, and a happy holiday base.

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!
