What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a lovely holiday at Tower Cottage, the location was wonderful, peaceful but within walking distance of the local facilities and with plenty of walks for the dogs just on the doorstep. The Suffolk countryside is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed the meals we had at the Bell and Harbour Inns. Being able to walk to both these establishments and also across the bridge into Southwold was a plus. Tower Cottage itself was well appointed and comfortable with plenty of room for our family party and dogs. We spent a lovely long weekend and having arrived to find provisions for tea and cake awaiting us, we found the cottage is very well appointed, with plenty of room to accommodate our party of seven plus dogs. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen had plenty of room to enjoy meals, with enough crockery and utensils to equip a small bistro. Having a ground-floor bedroom and shower room was a great feature for the more elderly member of our group and the large garden was very tranquil and had plenty of room for outdoor games had our party included children. The facilities of Walberswick were a short walk from the cottage and we enjoyed delicious meals at the Bell Inn and Harbour Inn. We had many walkers and one could potentially enjoy a break here without taking a car out at all. There were only two small things that we noticed that could be improved. When we arrived, the fence on one side of the garden had blown down and had no been repaired. As we booked Tower Cottage in particular because of the enclosed garden for our dogs, this could have proved a big disappointment for us and affected our enjoyment of the property. Luckily we were able to prop the fence up ourselves and effect a temporary repair. The second thing was that the drain in the wet-room was not very effective and the room would quite quickly start to fill with water, wetting slippers or other items on the floor at the edge of the room. However, we can thoroughly recommend Tower Cottage and hope to return in the future!

  The holiday was great, mainly because of the house we chose to stay in 'Tower Cottage'. Everyone loved the kitchen and entertaining space the best and Walberswick is such a lovely village and only a short nice walk to Southwold. As a family we all love Southwold so were keen to spend a few days as normally we only come for the day. We got to do lots of activities, as suggested in the welcome pack you provided, which was very helpful. We were lucky with the weather so this definitely helped our time spent in Southwold to be so lovely. The house is beautiful, lovely big garden for all the kids (and adults!) to play. The kitchen/diner were most people's favourite part of the house, such a lovely entertaining space and the decor was lovely. The living room has big comfy sofas and enough space for all 9 of us to be in whilst we played board games. The upstairs bedrooms were all a great size. The location of the house is perfect, on the route to a lovely walk to Southwold and only a 5 minute walk from a nice pub we went to 'The Anchor'. As a family we would recommend this house to anyone (and already have!). Thank you for a lovely stay!

  Wonderful little hideaway situated opposite the castle in Orford. Well appointed cottage has everything you need – two comfy bedrooms (one single), good kitchen and bathroom and nice little garden out back. Owner thoughtfully provided a dog bed, dog treats, bottle of wine and biscuits! Picture-perfect little village in which nothing is more than 5 minutes walk away – English Heritage castle (well worth a visit), two great pubs, hotel, tearooms, an amazing bakery and (very) well-stocked local store. There is a market in the village hall on Saturday's which also hosts an honesty box for daily papers. Fabulous walks along the river bank in both directions from Orford quay. Local ferry to take you to the National Trust nature reserve. Great location to explore other places such as Aldeburgh, Southwold, Snape and Framlingham. All-in-all a great getaway which we will be recommending to friends.

  Tower Cottage is a lovely spacious property, with a super garden. We loved the huge kitchen. And Walberswick is just perfect. However some more home comforts would really make a difference such as provide more toilet roll and dishwasher tablets, both of which we ran out of. The blind in the upstairs bathroom got soaked anytime we had a shower upstairs. There were black dog hairs on the bedding - understand that sometimes dogs do get upstairs on the beds & although a dog friendly house, for some people this would really have been an issue. And I must apologise to the cleaners! I left some dog poo bags behind - meant to take them to the poo bin but totally forgot as I left, so please do pass on my apologies. thank you.

  How unutterably blissful is it to stay in a holiday rental which actually feels like a cohesive home rather than a chaotic and eclectic mishmash of the owners castoffs.

  Jill and Nigel are the perfect hosts, always ready with a friendly greeting or helpful restaurant recommendations. Nothing is too much trouble, and guests are treated like cherished family friends. The added extras of buckets and spades, kites, and little toys for our 5 year old was very much appreciated. The whole house is a delight, with the beds and shower (often woefully under par in so many rentals) deserving a mention in their own right for being equal to or indeed above the quality at home! Towels are fluffy and plentiful in their abundance, and bedding gloriously classic; crisp and white. Overall this was the best holiday we have had in years, and Saxon Lodge Cottage by far the most welcoming we have stayed in.
