“28/05/2023 - 30/05/2023.”
We were the first guests to stay at Admirals Cottage, it is absolutely lovely, you can really see the care and attention that has gone into making it a comfortable place to stay. It's in a perfect location for exploring the local area, and further afield.
Aldeburgh, Southwold and Woodbridge are well worth a visit. We popped up to Yarmouth and Lowestoft as well.
Neil was really helpful with some recommendations of places to eat, we had a nice bite to eat at The Duck, Campsea Ashe and popped into The Ramsholt Arms on our way home for lunch, again this was lovely.
Only a few bit's of feedback, non are negative, just some observations. It would be good to have a little book telling guests the basic info like WiFi Password, which bin is which (we weren't sure if we could put glass in the recycling). We couldn't work out how to get the normal TV channels on the TV (not sure if that was actually possible LOL).
The welcome hamper as lovely.
Will definitely be recommending to friends and will be back for another visit soon.
Thank you for your feedback. This is really helpful as we are new to holiday cottage letting. We will add instructions regarding the Wi-Fi, the external bins and the TV channels to our initial text message and place laminated instructions in the cottage
