“We stayed here for two nights for my wife’s 40th birthday celebrations.”
The house is in a fantastic location and is lovely. It's a short walk to Aldeburgh high street. It was perfectly adequate for us for two days but I wouldn’t have been comfortable paying the amount we did for a longer period of time. I agree with comments that have been made in previous reviews.
Communication was great pre-stay and there was a really helpful book with all the house information in it. On entering the property, a bottle of wine and a couple of packets of biscuits had been left for us which was a nice welcome gesture. We did however have to remove a number of spiders which made us wonder if it hadn’t been stayed in for a while…
We used the first-floor king bedroom and the second-floor king bedroom. Both rooms were comfortable and had everything we required. The windows in the first-floor bedroom were difficult to open / didn’t open and then one wouldn’t shut / lock. As we were trying to open the window, the curtains fell off the curtain rail as they weren’t secured properly. Unfortunately the shower pressure in the en-suite was terrible and the shower head could do with descaling.
The kitchen had everything we required as did the living room. They were very comfortable and had easy access to the garden. We spent the majority of time in the living room. The property also had motion detector lights in each room which were a great idea! They were very helpful if you needed to use the toilet during the night.
In general, the house is lovely and is in a fantastic location but again, as mentioned in previous comments, the maintenance and cleanliness needs addressing. There were cobwebs and spiders in a number of rooms and it was surface level clean but could do with a deep clean (both inside and out).
Thank you very much for your comments. We are very pleased that you enjoyed the house and its location.
With regards to the spiders, we will discuss the issue with the cleaning company to ensure removal. We will also ask them to de-scale the shower heads. Later this summer we will be staying at the property with the view to instructing an update for the bathrooms to include pumps for showers and replacing the top floor ensuite and agreeing a timetable for those works that the diary will allow.
Thank you for your comments and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay.
