  When we arrived all was good so we both went out to the garden without our two dogs just to check that the garden area was secure .

  we found that the two gates on either side of the garden were open so we shut them then let the dogs out . all was good for the next couple of days . we did see that the bin for the rubbish had been removed but the gates were then closed . on our last night we came in at about 4.30 pm let the dogs out and I then picked up the black bag to put out and then I found that there was both gates wide open and one of our dogs was missing . my self and me wife then started to shout out for our dog and could not see her anywhere . at the end of the houses to the right there was an alleyway to the main road so we both went down the alleyway to the front of the house which is on a main road . I went to the right and my wife went to the left and while my wife was looking she saw our dog at the edge of the road so she shouted for her to stay and she did so my wife was able to get her and bring our dog back . both of the neighbours knew that we had dogs as they had seen them so why they left the door open . my wife was in bits all night thinking what could of happened . we put our comments in their book at the property stating that we would never come back to stay at this property . if they can’t guarantee that the gates are closed the they should have another gate put up at the end of the patio where there is a wall in place and then this could be locked and you could let your dogs out into this safe area before they go into the main garden. I do believe that all dog owners and parents with small children should be aware of this problem .

  We stayed for a weekend just before most schools break up.

  Getting the key was smooth and trouble free.We found it clean, comfortable and very nicely decorated. The kitchen is stylish and equipped with everything you would need for your stay. The bathroom (which is on the ground floor) is modern and has both a bath and a very good shower. There’s a long, narrow and rather featureless garden with patio and lawn. The location is very practical if not particularly picturesque. It’s just a ten minute stroll to the seafront. We had no problem parking right outside the property while we coming and going. For shopping there is a Co-op very close by. I was going to list some criticisms but then they were so trivial I thought they looked a bit silly so I deleted most of them. Elderly or very young guests might find the stairs a bit steep. It might make sense to have the Wi-Fi password on a sign in the kitchen rather than slightly buried in the property information file.

  The cottage was really nice but not suitable for everyone, including my husband and I.

  We missed the part of the description where it said about the downstairs bathroom, and found this to be quite a big problem. I am 75 and severely visually impaired, to negotiate from the bedroom, down the stairs and across the large kitchen to the toilet, in the middle of the night, was quite challenging. The same for my husband. The lounge was ok but very dark, even with the light on, making it difficult to see to read etc, the bed was huge and very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of tableware and cutlery and the little, gift-wrapped parcel of dish cloths, sponge, bin bags and dishwasher and washing machine tablets was a lovely touch, even though we didn't use either of them, as was the bottle of wine that was left for us, which we did use. All-in-all, lovely place but shame about the downstairs bathroom.

  Lovely little terraced cottage 10-15 minutes walk from Aldeburgh High Street and sea front.

  Cosy lounge with 2 sofas and smart TV (which we had to retune to all channels for some reason?), large kitchen/dining area, downstairs bathroom with bath and shower and leaned garden with patio outside. 2 bedrooms upstairs with comfy beds. Tesco and Coop handy as just across road, and pub, The Railway Inn, few minutes walk away (doesn't serve food at present though). Visited lots of places, all within decent driving distance, including Framlingham and Orford castles, Sutton Hoo, Landguard fort, Woodbridge, Thorpeness and Southwold. Only thing we would say, is for dog owners to keep an eye on your pet when in garden as open access for neighbours via gates, and these are not always left in closed position when others use them. And small upstairs room would make a nice upstairs WC. Otherwise an excellent stay and highly recommended.

  The bedrooms, bathroom was well appointed clean and very nicely presented and equipped.

  The whole property was clean and tidy, however we were a bit disappointed with the kitchen area which had hardly any space for food storage. The living area let down the rest of the property and looked tired in comparison. There was no dvd or did player as stated. We were pleased there wasn't so bad Internet coverage as expected from the property. The property was warm and dry. The setting was lovely and nice to look out on and outside facilities looked good, but due to the cold spell we didn't use them. We feel if we'd chosen the Spring or summer months we'd have been contend to spend time sitting outside. The actual location was brilliant for the coast, countryside with lots of lovely market towns nearby.
