What guests are saying
Microwave turntable was broken and the shower was only luke warm at best.
Also the extractor fan in the bathroom was not working. The location was great just a short walk to the beach. The property is very small, it would be better if it wasn't as cluttered with so much stuff in the cupboards and out house. In spite of the above we enjoyed the area and would revisit, but would chose a different property.
The cottage was ok needs a rope banister for the stairs, plenty of kitchen equipment, bathroom cabinets the bottom one needs a clean mouldy bottles inside.
Needs a comfy sofa and the yard was a shared access for the other cottages with dogs also. It didn't help that they were digging up the road ( replacing pipes ) also so there were drills starting at 8 am and the men were there chatting loudly at 7 am. If you need to park in the church car park for the nights you are there you have to book a permit prior to arriving .
Lovely cottage and great base for visiting the coast.
Downside is the tiny shower room but it was fine just for the 2 of us . Lots of cooking equipment so you can cook the wonderful range of high quality food available Aldeburgh.
