Holmleigh, Aldeburgh

We loved our stay at HolmLeigh.

The property is cosy, comfortable and well equipped with everything you will need during your stay. Although the bed is smaller than we are used to it was very comfortable and peaceful. It was handy having a Tesco Express and a Co-op 2 minutes walk away. Parking can be an issue if you come back after 5pm in the evening, a couple of times we had to park around the corner until a space became available, although in fairness we did notice there was maintenance work in one of the properties nearby so I think a couple of spaces were taken up by tradesmen vehicles. We would definitely return and recommend.

We have stayed in this cottage many times and feel the cleanliness was not usual standard .

Ie lots of cobwebs dirty cutlery, sticky hand rail no body wash in bathroom . Also think tv had been messed with as couldn’t find terrestrial channels ! All said still had a lovely time .

We have stayed in many pet friendly properties over the years, some were sorely lacking in comfort or cleanliness, but Holmleigh in Aldeburgh was a game changer for us, & we will probably just rebook every time.

From the moment we walked through the door we could see & smell how clean it was, & how loved. The welcome pack was a very generous gift & well appreciated. There was even a little cleaning pack with cloths, scourers & dishwasher tablets,so we didn't have to buy anything. Upstairs the bedding & towels were pure white, which ia first for us, & there were ample towels for a weeks stay. The kitchen has everything you could ever need for a holiday & more. If we had to mention a negative it would be the parking, but once you find a spot just leave the car there & walk. The town is 10 minutes away on one walk, or an hour away if you use the footpath to the other end of the town, (probably less than that, but our dog insists on sniffing every blade of grass on his way!) The buses are plentiful, to Woodbridge, Saxmundham, Snape Maltings, so everyone can chill & relax. The TV is a little bit complicated, especially if you are a pair of technophobes like us! Sky news is good for a quick catch up on the news but not so much fun on a rainy day. Luckily we had books that we finally finished & the silence was amazing. All in all, it was the most relaxing & comfortable cottage we have stayed in, & we both left saddened by the fact that we hadn't booked an extra week.

The house was comfortable, clean & well placed.

Access to Aldeburgh is 10mins walking, but you also have shops close by (2mins walk). The enclosed garden at the rear was across from the property not part of it, I would suggest this is made clear in the listing. Also, the bathroom upstairs is off the second bedroom.

We visit Aldeburgh most years, and always stop in this lovely house.

As always, the property was clean and amenities were excellent. Thank you for accepting dogs as our spaniel loves it here.

A super long weekend stay.

Excellent location for all amenities. Comfortable home with everything you could need.

Lovely little cottage in the perfect location to enjoy both Aldeburgh and the Suffolk coastline

We were delighted with Holmleigh: spotlessly clean, comfortable and conveniently located.

We arrived on the 22nd December and Christmas decorations had been done in the downstairs rooms, a really thoughtful touch. We also really appreciated the welcome pack which was a bonus on top of an already very well equipped cottage. Highly recommend.

Everything you’d need in this clean, cosy home from home.

A well-stocked kitchen made self catering a breeze and many hours were spent around the dining table. An efficient combi boiler provided plenty of hot water for baths and showers and the thoughtful, generous welcome pack helped us to enjoy a relaxing week in this lovely corner of east Suffolk. Aldeburgh is just perfect out of season with its smattering of quality independent shops, restaurants and pubs. Add in the opportunity for a pot of smoked cockles and an extensive network of footpaths to explore & you’re guaranteed a relaxing break.

We had a lovely time in Aldeburgh and Holmleigh cottage was a great base.

It’s a cosy, characterful little cottage and has everything you need for a break away. The kitchen was well-equipped and there was a great welcome pack with some lovely local produce in it. The cottage is just down the road from a small Tesco and a Co Op which is useful. Parking is on street outside the cottage, we didn’t have any problem finding a space outside. There is a pleasant walk to town through the park which you can access down the side of Tesco - it’s about a 15 minute stroll to the high street. Thank you for a lovely stay!

A very clean and comfortable holiday let.

Bright and airy decor. The kitchen was very well appointed with everything that was needed. The back garden was excellent for the dogs and a nice place to sit. The stairs are steep with a sharp twist at the bottom and may not suit people with mobility issues.

Lovely place, well-appointed and very well equipped.

The only slight negative was that bloody front gate!

A lovely stay in Aldeburgh.

We always stop in this cottage which is lovely and a real home from home. Thank you for the lovely gifts of food and drinks that were left for us and the surprise that arrived on Saturday. Our dog loved her treats so thank you for thinking of her. I was hoping to book for next year but the dates not released as yet.

Cottage was amazing best we have stayed at in Aldeburgh.

Location, facilities etc everything was just perfect and we will be back!

Wonderful and cosy house that made for a memorable short break away.

Clean and well stocked with a lovely welcome gift (even the our little dog had a small treat for Easter), and close to all of the amenities and Aldeburgh walks. Even got a phone call from Best of Suffolk to let us know that the property would be available earlier than the stated check in time if we wanted to arrive sooner, which helped us avoid the Easter traffic. Would love to stay again, 10/10!

This is a lovely terraced property in the wonderful town of Aldeburgh.

Nicely decorated with everything you could want. Close to 2 supermarkets, Tesco and the Co-op, and just along the road from the Railway pub. Its a short drive into the town centre for some great cafes, restaurants and pubs, including the famous Aldeburgh Fish and Chip shop. The beach walk from Aldeburgh to Thorpeness is a must, especially if you have a dog.

Lovely little cottage.

A brand new kitchen had just been fitted when we visited and it was spot on. We had a lovely week and would recommend the cottage and the area to anyone.

Property was clean, comfortable and as advertised.

Aldeburgh is lovely and we’ll definitely visit again. However, we had a couple of admin issues (which might be down to Sykes with whom we booked). We’d asked for a cot, stair gate and high chair to be provided when we booked and we rang the second contact number provided by Sykes via email the day before who confirmed these had been requested and would be provided. However when we arrived none of these had been set up - we managed to find them in a cupboard and set them up ourselves but took some time - the stair gate in particular was fiddly and a bit insecure but necessary as the stairs are very steep and we have a two year old. The first contact number (mobile) provided by Sykes seems to be incorrect; no one responded to that one despite several messages and it was different from the one in the welcome folder when we arrived. So I think there is some miscommunication between Sykes and the property owner which needs to be resolved. However, overall the property was good and we had a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely property.

Fabulous location.

Lovely cottage Please do not assume every body drinks Red wine

Great cottage.

Very well equipped and a nice garden too. Lovely location. The decoration was homely. I would very much like to visit again.

As described by other reviewers this cute house is very well supplied with everything one might need, well equipped kitchen, plenty of towels, instant hot water etc.

It was just warm enough while we there to sit outside in the tiny garden for before dinner drinks and we even used the parasol on one occasion. It's also handy for Tesco and the Coop if you want to shop on arrival. We used the beach fish shacks every day as we love fish. On the down side, the property is beginning to need maintenance. A leaking tap in the kitchen has caused the oak worktop to be stained with black mould and the same worktop is showing signs of wear near the cooker. The undercounter fridge/freezer took two days to cool down fully and the shower mixer is very stiff. The note in the shower blames limescale but this appears to be a soft water area. In addition one of the bedside reading lights was faulty and we struggled with the Roman blind. One final note, the staircase is narrow and steep and so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

The cottage was cosy and extremely comfortable.

Even though it is a terraced house and on a road it was very quiet. It was beautifully decorated and modern. It had everything you could possibly need, even a tumble dryer which we needed to use after getting caught in a downpour! The cottage was immaculately clean. The beds were comfortable and the white bedding and towels felt clean and crisp. The outside garden area was well maintained and a lovely space to sit in in the evening sunshine. The wine and chocolate biscuits as a welcome gift was a nice touch.

Great location and had everything we needed for a weekend away .

Thank you for the welcome gift.

The wine was splendid, the mince pies delicious and the chocolate bicuits a treat. Everything about the house indicated hospitality and thoughtfulness: Christmas decorations, chocolates on the beds, thick towels, crisp bedding, beautiful art on the walls and oh-so-comfy armchairs that were perfect for reading by the fire (good chimney - no smoke!). The house was lovely - there was nothing lacking. We had a good break and would definitely like to visit again. Just one thing to note is that the kitchen tap is dripping and the surrounding wood is being damaged.

Love homeleigh so home from home

A second visit to Homleigh cottage in Aldeburgh, the cottage has everything you need is near a pub shop’s & a fantastic field for our dog’s, a short walk to Aldeburgh town & beach with excellent fish & chips & much more, If you’re up for a walk along the beach you can get to Thorpeness where there is a lovely boating lake cafe & pub…we love Suffolk with a passion & have been visiting for several years, we took in Woodbridge where we visited the only working mill, such history, amazing I loved the tour & the view from the mill, I would highly recommend, can’t wait to come back to beautiful Suffolk….
