  We had a lovely stay at the house.

  I feel one point of the description of the house is completely misleading though - “freshen up in the sleek shower room before heading downstairs to the well equipped kitchen”. The shower room (which I would say is clean and functional but not exactly sleek) is downstairs, next to the kitchen. I feel this should be clear on the description, not implied that it is somewhere it clearly isn’t!! Not everyone would choose somewhere with the toilet on a different floor to the bedrooms, and maybe this is why the description has been done as it is. But it is wrong to do so. We couldn’t find a tin opener but other than that it was great. Yes I would stay again. The bed was comfy, the view from the main bedroom afforded a pleasant sea view between other properties on the site. The balcony is small but just wide enough to sit out on for the morning sunshine. Access to the “beach” is off the site, a five minute walk (once you have gained access to the code to the shortcut gate) , down a lot of steep steps. This leads to a path which goes in both directions. From there you have to walk a fair way before you can access the beach without climbing through the railings onto the rocks. We drove to Lowestoft for better beach access for my elderly dog.

  Another excellent cottage found via your website.

  Good communication for directions etc from owner, which was just as well as the cottage is sort of back to front i.e. Accessed from garden, with no apparent front door. Very pleasing nautical decor particularly the 2 bedrooms and comfy bed. The Kitchen had plenty of accessories including some basic condiments, even washing machine and dish washer tablets. Living area well laid out with pleasant suite, TV and DVD player and selection of books, if needed. Our dog was also very happy with the fenced garden and we were happy with the stair gate keeping her downstairs knowing she was not allowed upstairs saved us from nagging her all the time ! The location was also good for us, short walk away from garden gate to a brilliant beach of shingle and dunes which was dog friendly, our dog just ran and ran. There is a very friendly Pub off the beach with good basic pub food and dogs accepted inside plus choice of fish shops if you didn't want to travel far but the cottage is sited about half way between Southwold and Lowestoft, both good places to visit In all a good week's holiday - home from home and an extra touch was a welcome card. Chocolates, biscuits, bag of sweets and biscuits for our dog left for us - very thoughtful.

  What a gem of a cottage tucked away and yet in a central location.

  The cottage was Very clean, comfortable and a lovely set of extra gifts provided by the owners upon our arrival, thank you. Kessingland is very dog friendly and the beach is 2 mins away along a little used lane and path. The cottage has a nice long garden and the benefit of catching the morning sun, even at the start of September this allowed breakfast out on the patio. The neighbours were friendly and the owners could not have been more helpful. The beach is made up of sand, shingle and dunes and is very large and quiet. Our dogs loved it and were happy to return in the evenings and snooze away with doggie dreams. From warm summer mornings to cosy winter nights, this cottage really is a home from home and a credit to the owners for providing an inviting atmosphere. We would love to return.

  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.

  This is a lovely comfortable cottage with great facilities.

  It's lovely and clean and there is everything you need for a home from home stay. The garden is great for the dog, nice and enclosed and secure and two minutes walk to the beach which she absolutely loved. There is a nice welcome pack and a very thoughtful touch is the box with dog shampoo and towels specifically for dog only use, very helpful when the dog has been in the sea. We found instructions for day of departure a bit prescriptive (strip beds, put bed linen here/towels here) especially when you can't arrive before 5pm but are still expected to leave by 10am but it wouldn't stop us from booking again. The owner was friendly and helpful.
