  We had a lovely week with our dog in this cottage at the end of April.

  It's attractive, comfortable and well-equipped, and the sand and shingle beach is just a few minutes' walk away, so it is wonderfully situated for long walks with the dog, either along the coast or into Lowesoft. The area is quiet but there are shops and takeaways conveniently nearby, and also an interesting art gallery. The thatched church is also worth a look round, if you're into old buildings and local history. (There are also several pubs around, but we never went to any of them so I can't comment!) The owner, who lives nearby, was very helpful but not intrusive. The house was warm, and the woodburning stove was an added bonus for the still chilly nights. The bed was comfortable, although proper reading lamps for both sides of the bed would have been appreciated. I would concur with other reviewers that the stairs are a bit steep, but perfectly manageable unless you have a mobility problem. Those with mobility issues should be also be mindful that the bath is quite high-sided to step into when having a shower, and that there is no in-bath mat to prevent slipping. All in all, it was a lovely place to stay and I would recommend it.

  Punch Cottage was overall very good, in a beautiful and quiet location.

  Very comfy beds and well equipped kitchen. Thank you for the milk, bread and cookies left for our arrival and for agreeing to allow us an 11am check out on the Sunday. There were a few things, which could be easily fixed, which let the property down as follows: mould on the wall in the master bedroom ensuite; the master bedroom door would not close completely; there was a missing hotwater tap top in the master bedroom ensuite, the net curtain in the master bedroom did not fit properly, it was too long; the sofas needed a little cleaning; on arrival we found half a toilet roll between the two bathrooms with only one full roll spare which for 4 people we considered was not enough. We would have appreciated a few spare rolls. All rooms would benefit from a deep clean and perhaps a fresh coat of paint. We would make a return visit subject to these concerns being addressed.

  I must agree with everyone’s review it is a lovely cottage love the decor and it’s comfortable .

  Bus stops just up the road don’t really need a car , the is within a 5 min walk found an art gallery which was amazing . The Jolly sailor is great for dining out with sea views . So all in all a great place to stay to explore the area. One thing cut our stay short 3rd day in we found dog fleas up in the bedroom with an odour of dog until then we had all windows open day and night so never noticed the odour . We decided to leave the next morning I contacted the owner who said they would sort this out but I knew this could not be sorted in within an hour or so .They did apologise but as we had already left couldn’t do anything for us . Sykes said the same thing . We have been renting properties with Sykes for many years now this was the first time this has happened to us . Sykes never got back to us regarding this matter :(

  Lovely light seaside cottage.

  Cosy and comfy. Perfect for a little doggie too. The welcome gifts of wine, milk, crisps, cookies and bottled water was a very thoughtful touch. Quiet and peaceful location. Just a short stroll from the lovely Pakefield beach. The cordoned off steep-stepped private area of the cottage was at first intriguing to my doggie but first step up I said no and he didn't bother with it any more. I would say that if anyone is travelling alone, and likes to check out all of the house for peace of mind, no bogie man lurking etc , then this may not be for you with the cordoned off, but not locked away, upper floor. This wasn't a problem for me but could be for others. A lovely Sunday to Wednesday stay in early May! Thank you.

  Enjoyed our time at Gulls Nest.

  Good location, near the beach. Local shop/ 2 good pubs serving food nearby. My only criticisms would be: lack of a vacuum cleaner/broom. Wasn’t possible to keep floors very clean as there was only a long handled brush and dustpan. It would have been good to at least be able to remove dog hairs and any crumbs etc regularly. Also, instructions for the induction hob would have been useful.Not everyone has one at home !! we never did work out why it kept turning itself off during cooking !!!! Overall our stay at Gulls Nest was very enjoyable. It was well maintained and nicely decorated.
