  My wife and I were very disappointed with our stay at your cottage in Aldeburgh.

  We only stayed 2 out of 4 nights because out of all honesty the accomodation was totally inappropriate for us, both in our 80s. The steep staircase had no hand rail and was lethal especially coming downstairs. The bathroom door opened outwards onto a small landing at the top of the stairs and there was a huge risk of falling back down them - there should have been a safety gate. Surely when you are advertising you should make mention whether it is suitable for elderly people. Additionally, the television was intermittent, dangerous bunk beds sticking out and we both hit our heads severely. The courtyard is dreary and unwelcoming to sit in and the front garden in much need of attention. We are not whingers, but we are very, very disappointed by the lack of space and the dangerous facilities which meant our holiday was cut short.

  Thank you for asking for feedback.

  Gosfieild Cottage is a rather tired property on the High Street. Overall I did enjoy the stay, but there really is room for improvement. The property has been modernised but I would suggest not recently. There is paint peeling and generally the feel is a somewhat tired property which is a real shame as it has the potential to be much better. The listing suggests it dog friendly, but on arrival it states dogs much be restricted to the kitchen, this should be stated on then details as I would not call that dog friendly. The cleaning was poor and it does need a deep clean, cobwebs and dust we easy to see on harder to reach areas. Maintenance is required, small things like the kitchen tap turns on its mounting and the shower riser comes out. I would class the cottage as below average and in need of work and ongoing maintenance.

  We stayed at Poppy Cottage over Christmas.

  It was cosy enough to stay in and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Suffolk countryside, punctuated only by the ducks on the pond and the faint noise of a train in the distance, while also being close enough to so many wonderful locations when we felt like venturing out. Poppy Cottage is probably the best situated of the cottages in the complex for huddling down in bad weather; it looks out onto the sheltered courtyard, so we never felt battered by the occasional squalls of heavy wind and rain. When the weather permitted, we took trips to Aldeburgh, Sutton Hoo, and Framlingham, all of which were short pleasant drives; the location really couldn't be better. Lyndsey was friendly and helpful, and dropped by with mince pies to make us feel welcome. I can highly recommend a stay at Poppy Cottage.

  The cottage was absolutely delightful and the courtyard and surroundings were very well planted out and looked after.

  Very tranquil and most pleasant to sit outside at any time during the day. Very good location to tour the area. Essentially everything in general was great but there are a couple of small points we would like to mention. There was no booklet giving details of refuse collections, doctors, places to eat and procedures when leaving; usually found at all previous cottages. Not a real problem as we just carried out what we thought were adequate procedures and left the cottage in sound frame of mind. Also the shower was quite basic off the taps and not adjustable; also no grab rails. May seem rather nit-picking but everything else was really fine and these points just put the icing on the cake.

  The property should not be advertised as pet friendly.

  On arrival we discovered that dogs must be left in the kitchen at all times, separated by a baby gate. This is pet cruel not friendly and I would not have booked if this was known. I have a small, hypoallergenic, cockerpoo who does not moult. I had him groomed and bathed the morning of arrival. I bring bedding, blankets, towels and he is cleaned after his business and if it’s wet or dirty outside. He is cleaner than many humans. He has separation anxiety and I would not dream of locking him in a room at home while I am there let alone a strange environment. There was no trace of him being there and we left the cottage in excellent condition.
