  The Old Town Hall was in an excellent location for our needs (three of our guests were taking part in the Dunwich Dynamo). The description on your website explained that the first twin bedroom had a connecting door to the second twin room. This did not prepare us for the reality. The second twin room was only accessible via the first twin room and then the shower room. The en-suite was en-suite for both rooms. The WC (with a faulty flushing mechanism) was so close to the second twin room with the charming thin door that it could have been in the bedroom. This trip was a treat for friends and I was embarrassed when we eventually found the fourth room hidden away behind the downstairs loo. The fridge was also woefully small for a house of 8 people. The additional tiny fridge balanced on the freezer in the cupboard just frozen anything we put in. FYI, we could not find a teapot though one was listed on the inventory - just thought you should know that. Nevertheless, we had a lovely time, eating and walking on the beach. It was just a shame about the bedrooms and the faulty WC.

  The School House in Dunwich looked exactly as it does in the pictures on the website. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the laundry facilities were great. For our group of 5 adults, having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms worked really well. It was exceptional value for money. Dunwich is located in an area of the Suffolk coast which is convenient for visiting our relatives, so the location also worked well for us. It was an easy walk to the beach, although the weather was not ideal for that. The location is also great for walking and bird-watching, and there are a lot of nearby seaside towns to visit within an hour’s drive. The tea room at the end of the street was really nice, and we had a great Sunday lunch at the Ship Inn, where they were able to accommodate our family gathering in a private room. Overall, we highly recommend the School House.

  A group of friends staying in Dunwich for the weekend and this was the perfect location. The property was very comfortable and very warm - which for an old property was a pleasant surprise. The heating was still needed as mornings / evenings were still a little chilly. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. And we all agreed that the living room was very cosy in the evenings.. There are steep stairs but there is bedroom (2) / bathroom accommodation on the ground floor so this shouldn't cause a problem. Brilliant outside space as well.. And we all loved the characteristics of such an old house with all the beams and slopping floors... A very unique property and would definitely recommend staying here... Oh, and just across the road from Dunwich beach and a lovely pub a few steps away.. Everything you need...

  What a gorgeous cottage! We were so lucky with the weather too. The beach is just a few minutes walk and you can see the sea and the marshes from the lovely lounge window. The sofas were really comfy and the kitchen well stocked. The courtyard garden had sun most of the day and had masses of seating. Cottage location is hard to beat and the short walk to Greyfriars in the evening was so peaceful. We even saw scarlet tiger moths in the churchyard and it was possible to watch the marsh harrier from the lounge/main bedroom - we didn't though as we spent most of the days outside :) There are three different places to eat in the adorable village and the museum and Ship Inn are both fabulous and just three doors down! Walks everywhere! Gorgeous in every way and mum had the best birthday yet (this one was her 80th!) Hard to beat.

  Lovely, well-equipped and spacious cottage with magnificent views over the coastal marshland. Comfortable beds and sofas. Located a couple of hundred yards from the sea. The owners, were very helpful and responded rapidly to fix an issue we experienced with the heating. The highlight of the week for us was watching red dear and muntjacs grazing on the marshes, marsh harriers hunting above and great spotted woodpeckers, long-tailed tits and many other birds enjoying the trees and feeders in the garden. Friday Street Farm Shop, on the Aldeburgh road south of Saxmundham, provided all our provisions from local, high-quality sources. Visits to the charming towns of Framlingham, Southwold and Woodbridge were easy and pleasant. Minsmere RSPB reserve was a joy. A memorable week indeed.
