21 Florence Road

What a lovely cottage!

Ideal location to the beach and several pubs, a couple of which served food. Excellent communication from the owner and she was on hand to help when we had a slight problem with the dishwasher. Would happily return to stay again.

Great little cottage, full of character and well placed for the beach and local amenities.

The new EV chargers at Sainsbury’s nearby are quick and easy to use (Tip: get the App first, makes hooking up much easier). The owner Lesley was friendly and full of good local advice, and although we never needed to contact her, we always felt she was available if needed.

We really enjoyed our stay at 21 Florence road.

Everything we needed was in the cottage, and it was located in a perfect position to explore the area. Winnie ( our sprocker spaniel ) and I, liked our morning walks on the beach which is only a short distance from the cottage. Our evening walks to the local pubs were also a highlight!

When I first arrived, the cottage smelt a little damp, but I did go in the middle of January when everything is damp!

The wood burner was lovely and easy to use. The location is amazing, so near the beach. The kitchen only has absolute basics. The only major criticism is that the handrail on the left as you go up the stairs is very easy to hurt yourself on because it sticks out a long way and is unexpected. I hurt my shoulder quite badly before I learned to avoid it! Otherwise, this is a lovely little place to escape to!

21 Florence is a great little cottage.

It had everything we needed and more. The owner Lesley was on the end of the phone with any questions we had. It's close to the beach, and walking distance to a few pubs, and a local CoOp. We didn't use the car the whole week. Really dog friendly and we would definitely stay again. Only problem was the stairs were a bit steep but nothing can be done about that, just be aware. Definitely 10 out of 10 from us.

Lovely little cottage in a fantastic location with parking,kitchen well stocked with all the utensils you need,lovely courtyard and seating area,5 mins from sea and nice 20 min walk into Lowestoft,will be booking again next yr.

.....had a fantastic hol.

Lovely little cottage.

We did find the stairs hard going but they were mentioned in the description. Handy little cafe Pakefield Pantry for cake and coffee and greatSunday Lunches plus a well stocked Co Op.

Second time we have stayed at the cottage.

Which says it all really. The cottage is in a fantastic location .. the beautiful beach and coast is just around the corner.. yards from the property. You can hear the ocean in the back garden. There are 4 pubs all 3 mins away walk and all do food. Pakefield also has a couple takeaways, a co op and few other shops .. and Lowestoft is a mile away ( 20 min walk along the coast with yr dog).. Pakefield’s is quiet and lovely coastal village/town and dog friendly! Dogs on beach all year! The cottage is peaceful location.. spotlessly clean and modernised but kept all original features. Would burner. Great bed, shower and bath, lovely kitchen all u need if u do want to cook in. Back courtyard sunny seating etc and perfect if you have dog. Met the owner on a walk and she’s lovely unobtrusive and helpful. We will definitely return without a doubt

Really beautiful place to stay,fantastic beach for the dog within 5 minutes walk,plenty of local hostilities to try,must recommend the ship for its outstanding staff and Sunday roast.

Nice walk from the property to lowestoft town centre all the way along the seafront which is achievable by a mobility scooter. Property is excellent inside and out with everything you need for a perfect get away holiday

Consider more cutlery and crockery, especially as you have a dishwasher.

Height of door frame to conservatory a problem for tall people. Configuration of bottom turning stairs and short handrail is a major disaster waiting to happen. On a positive note, great location, lovely courtyard garden, and some interesting furniture.

A lovely, cosy cottage for a couple and perfectly located in a quiet street only a few minutes walk from the beach.

The property has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The owner is lovely and very helpful.

We loved the cottage, cosy and comfortable.

The stairs were from a fairy-tale sooo steep,once you got used to them they were fine. They were stated in comments to be fair. I've been in touch with the owner and she is a lovely lady. Good position of cottage to beach head, lovely walks and plenty of pubs. Good choice for hols.

Perfect holiday cottage for the 2 of us.

Very clean, with everything we could possibly need, and a welcome treat on arrival too! Warm and cosy, comfortable and quiet. Easy access to shops, pubs, takeaways and the beach. Host was charming when I called for key safe number, and shared information about local area in a friendly manner. I can't find a fault with this property and would recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in the area. Thank you for having us xx

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Very conveniently situated for beach, supermarket, pubs and takeaways for a stress free holiday. The cottage is quiet with a private courtyard to sit outside if the weather is kind. We visited lots of lovely places and it's on our (short) list of properties we would return to.

Another lovely stay, with owner promptly rectifying a hiccup - would thoroughly recommend Florence Cottage - my third stay and I know I will be back

We had a lovely stay in Pakefield .

The cottage is perfectly located for all amenities and it meant that we didn’t have to get in the car for anything l The welcome from our host is very warm and communication was excellent. We would definitely stay again.

Had an excellent short break, the cottage had a high standard of cleanliness and comfort.

Would definitely use again.

Firstly, let me say that this is a nice quirkily furnished cottage adequately sized for two people.

Its location is ideally placed for the pebble and sand beach and other places. It is surrounded by decent pubs and takeaways and there are supermarkets and larger outlets remarkably close by. The cottage itself has a large settee which is slightly sagging in places and an armchair along with a dining table and two chairs in the living room. The large TV is its best feature with access to several apps. The kitchen is well equipped but the timer on the oven is broken, and the microwave is extremely basic. Other than that, it is fine. There is a conservatory with another ding table and four chairs and a metal rocking chair. It leads into the small rear yard. Upstairs are the bedroom and bathroom. The bed is a standard double and we didn’t find it very comfortable but mattress tensions are a matter of personal preference it just wasn’t ideal for us. The bathroom is fine with lovely large bath and shower over. If you can get your leg high enough to get into the bath for a shower mind hour head on boxed section that the shower head is right up against. The steep stairs have been mentioned in several reviews and yes they are steep but what makes the precarious is the lack of a anything to hold onto on the bottom turn into the kitchen. Fortunately, I was there to catch my wife when slipped on the narrow-stepped bend when descending. Having rented cottages all over the country for over 20 years what lets this one down is that it is stocked on a bare minimum basis. One single ply loo roll (though I found half of another one in a cupboard. Two dishwasher tablets and around 3 or 4 washing machine pods. Two small pedal bin liners. Three logs were provided for the stove. One soft washing up pad. The welcome pack consisted of four cheap biscuits and the smallest carton of milk only. So then, Good if you eat out all the time and don’t need to do much washing or dishwashing but only adequate if you do. It is far from bad but not good enough for us to return. It sounds harsh but we have lots to compare it to.

I’ve just stayed for 3 weeks with my dog.

It took just 3 minutes to get from the door to the beach for our morning walk. It was in a perfect location for exploring the surrounding areas. There were lovely walks for my dog from the door & places like Great Yarmouth were less than 30 minutes in the car. Shops etc were close by but the road itself was very quiet with little traffic. I would love to come back in the summer for another visit.

An amazing experience and a perfect position to the beach Cottage was beautiful,everything was clean with all the appointed facilities and an absolutely wonderful atmosphere

Just had our 3rd visit to this lovely cottage and location.

5 minutes walk to the beach. The house is always spotlessly clean, warm and has everything you need for a great holiday.. we will be back again !!

Very steep stairs need another rail at turn at bottom we did not feel safe

We had a lovely time.

On arrival the house was lovely and clean with everything in place that you could need for a stay away from home. Comfortable bed and a nice sofa to relax on after a day walking on the beautiful beach which is just a few minutes away from the house. I would definitely like to come back in the future. The stairs were steep but we managed fine, and we're both pretty old!

I had a wonderful week at the cottage.

It is very homely and ideally located. My dog and I enjoyed early morning works on the beach each day (the dog friendly beach is 5mins walk away). There are so many pubs in walking distance as well as a co-op, fish and chip shop etc. We arrived via public transport and found getting around super easy with bus routes into Lowestoft or out to Southwold and Norwich via the stop at the end of the road. I know we will return.

Our second visit to 21 Florence Road everything was as stated.

Just the right cottage to relax and chill out in. Will definately be booking again

Lovely cottage great location the kitchen equipment (pots pans etc) could be updated had a lovely 2weeks thank you

Beautiful cottage as described and homely.

lesley and the cleaning lady very helpful just a shame we had to leave early due to medical problems.would definitely recommend. Anne and Mick August 24

A very comfortable and well equipped house, only a few minutes walk from the beach, a good pub, the Oddfellows Arms, and the Co-op.

Another lovely stay at 21 Florence Road !

.. Perfect cottage for myself and Freddy my dog ... Everything is so convenient in the cottage and it is great to have parking outside the door !.. The walk to Pakefield beach is only minutes away and was so pretty when I was there with lupins and other flowers everywhere !

This was a lovely place to stay.

Much closer to the beach than I had realised which was a definite plus. My dog had a whale of a time! Very comfortable place to come back to after the hailstorms! The listing mentions the steep stairs, they really are steep especially on the bend where there is no handrail.

Delightful character property, with quirky features and lovely vibrant decor.

So nice to stay somewhere which is not a bland carbon copy of the latest fashion.

Terrific area, very close for beach walks.

Ideal cycling area (flat) with interesting places to visit. Property had everything required and bed comfortable. Host very nice and helpful.

Florence Road has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

It is close to the beach with a nice walk to Lowestoft . Also nearby ( 5 mins. drive ) are supermarkets and several other stores. There are plenty of things to do within the area.

This holiday cottage was exactly as described and we wouldn’t hesitate to return there if we’re ever in Suffolk again.

The actual area is so convenient wherever you want to visit and although it was Winter we did manage to do lots of walking as well. Very satisfied customers!!!!!

Lovely little cottage would stay again

Just had our 2nd stay in this lovely cottage, and was really pleased we went back.

The cottage is really well equipped and exceptionally clean, the drive has been improved which made it easier to get off. We will be booking again.

Whilst we have no problem with the cleanliness and facilities provided,I should like to point out that,thanks to a very awkward staircase,this property should not be recommended to elderly people or those with disabilities.

Also the parking space at the front could do with a good prune.Apart from that the house was very well appointed.

21 Florence Road is a lovely cottage, it has plenty of space and is well equipped.

It was great to have the advantage of a conservatory and a patio garden. The bed was very comfy and the monsoon shower was fantastic.It is less than a hundred yards from the seafront an was very convenient for walking my dog every morning.The only downside for me was having to bounce up the curb as my car has very low profile tyres and I felt this was a risk of damaging the wheels, so I think it would be helpful to have the curb lowered.Apart from that I would be happy to stay again.

A beautiful comfy cottage can’t wait to return one day

Booked this holiday last minute.

We couldn’t of been happier. A lovely cottage in a great location. Everything was on your doorstep. Beautiful beaches and local amenities. Very peaceful and quiet, dog friendly and good parking. Owner very helpful and friendly. So glad I booked it.

Absolute gem of a cottage, right next to beach, close to 2 lovely pubs.

Dog friendly foodie pubs, close to shops, takeaways etc. cottage clean and beautiful. Lovely little touches like leaving us a cake. Towels , linen all excellent. Cute cottage with lovely fittings etc.. everything u need for peaceful stay. Would highly recommend. We are definitely coming back when it’s sunny!

I enjoyed my second stay at Florence Road with my dog.

The cottage is clean and comfortable with a lovely courtyard to sit and enjoy the sunshine. It’s only a short walk to the dog friendly beach, coffee hut and local pub. The cottage is situated in a convenient location to local shops and attractions further afield. I can highly recommend a break at this lovely cottage.

The cottage was as expected.

We were a bit disappointed that the tv downstairs did not have iplayer & we couldn’t get the dvd to work. Owner did offer to check, though we declined as used the sky record function. Kitchen had good facilities could easily cook a meal. The breakfast room & courtyard were very nice. The bed was comfortable & room quiet & dark. We had a comfortable week. Good location for exploring the area, near a bus stop. Good chip shop around the corner. Easy walking distance to beach. Lovely seafront walk to Lowestoft.

Beautifully furnished property, close to all amenities and just a short stroll to the beach.

Stairs are a bit steep, but to be expected in a cottage, but would be difficult for people with mobility issues. But otherwise I would highly recommend this beautiful little cottage.

The property was perfect for our week's stay in Pakefield.

Very comfortable and clean, with small but pretty sitting areas at the front and rear of the house. A nice touch was tea, coffee, milk and cake for our arrival. It was close to shops. beach and pubs and buses stopped just down the road. Would recommend anyone wishing to visit this part of Suffolk.

I must agree with everyone’s review it is a lovely cottage love the decor and it’s comfortable .

Bus stops just up the road don’t really need a car , the is within a 5 min walk found an art gallery which was amazing . The Jolly sailor is great for dining out with sea views . So all in all a great place to stay to explore the area. One thing cut our stay short 3rd day in we found dog fleas up in the bedroom with an odour of dog until then we had all windows open day and night so never noticed the odour . We decided to leave the next morning I contacted the owner who said they would sort this out but I knew this could not be sorted in within an hour or so .They did apologise but as we had already left couldn’t do anything for us . Sykes said the same thing . We have been renting properties with Sykes for many years now this was the first time this has happened to us . Sykes never got back to us regarding this matter :(

We loved the cottage, it was really well presented, clean and comfortable.

Particularly impressed with the comfortable bed and lovely bath. The location was ideal close to local beaches, shops and a variety of pubs, many of which had a good choice of food and drink. Would definitely return.

Lovely cottage with lots of home touches, felt loved rather than just a corporate letting.

Quite small if you have a bigger dog and or husband, who hit his head a couple of times ( the husband not the dog!). Great location and it was really friendly.

We enjoyed the cottage.

Very quiet and good location. On the whole facilities were very good but thought the lighting in the front room could have been better, especially for reading.

Cute comfortable and clean.

Everything you need in walking distance to pub’s restaurants and take aways, and the beach.

A cosy little cottage, lovely log burner and superb bath.

A Smart TV in lounge would be a good addition, I had to watch a few things upstairs which does have one. The drive does not have a drop kerb which means you have to use higher speed to bump up and this then churns up stones. Had a couple of worrying moments when wheels spun, but ultimately managed. Lesley says she is having matting laid shortly which should resolve this issue. Best thing is the location of this cottage being directly behind the church, so literally 2 mins and you're on the beach. Enjoyed my relaxing break with my two legged friend.

Cottage is absolutely lovely for a relaxing holiday.

. it was very clean, comfortable bed, plenty of warm water and cottage was always warm and had no need to light log burner. a great position for the beach Will definitely book again

Very cosy and warm cottage,everything we needed was there.

The beach is only 5 mins walk from the door.The property is situated in a quiet road,it is ideal for a relaxing break.

Everything you need it's like home from home, bed is very comfortable but stairs are steep and a bit tricky on the way down but doesn't spoil the overall comfort of the property The rolltop bath is amazing and with hot water on demand we had lots of bubble baths especially after a long days walking on the beach Would of liked information on the disposal of waste IE in what bins to use etc and what days collection, information was provided on bottle banks Drive way was a bit tricky getting off the gravel!

Lovely cozy, warm cottage for 2 and a furry friend!

All made to feel welcome! 2 minute walk to the beach, pub and several takeaways. Lovely walk along the beach either way to Lowestoft or Kessingland. Spacious lounge with comfy sofa, well equipped kitchen for self catering and a conservatory with dining area. Small enclosed outside areas front and back, safe for dogs. We will definitely return!

Lovely cosy cottage in a great location at Pakefield .

. beach / shops / pub all very close .. Perfect for myself and Freddy my dog !!

This is the second time we have stayed at this house.

It’s a great base for the beach. The house does all it says. Very welcoming

Perfect little seaside cottage, everything you need and more, very comfortable and homely.

Close to shops, minutes from beach but quiet and very relaxing. Great base to explore the area. Our dog loved it too.

The cottage was absolutely lovely, it looked like a well loved home rather than a holiday rental.

It was clean and comfy. The outside space was very private and very welcome in the lovely weather. I thought it was absolutely perfect for two. Very close to the beach and local shops/pubs. The cottage was a gem.

Parking was awkward because of having to mount the kerb.

A lovely little cottage in a great location with shops and places to eat nearby.

The rear courtyard was a pleasure to sit in with lots of plants and rustic furniture. Inside was cosy with an easy to use kitchen. The stairs were very steep which wasn’t too much of a problem for me but might be if you have any joint or mobility issues. The owner was easy to contact when I needed some help and nothing was too much trouble for her. I definitely want to return. The locals are friendly too and you can take your dog on the beach year round I believe.

The cottage was clean and comfortable.

In a good position for local shop and easy , flat , walk to the coast. It was well equipped and the owner was very friendly and helpful .

We had a lovely week with our dog in this cottage at the end of April.

It's attractive, comfortable and well-equipped, and the sand and shingle beach is just a few minutes' walk away, so it is wonderfully situated for long walks with the dog, either along the coast or into Lowesoft. The area is quiet but there are shops and takeaways conveniently nearby, and also an interesting art gallery. The thatched church is also worth a look round, if you're into old buildings and local history. (There are also several pubs around, but we never went to any of them so I can't comment!) The owner, who lives nearby, was very helpful but not intrusive. The house was warm, and the woodburning stove was an added bonus for the still chilly nights. The bed was comfortable, although proper reading lamps for both sides of the bed would have been appreciated. I would concur with other reviewers that the stairs are a bit steep, but perfectly manageable unless you have a mobility problem. Those with mobility issues should be also be mindful that the bath is quite high-sided to step into when having a shower, and that there is no in-bath mat to prevent slipping. All in all, it was a lovely place to stay and I would recommend it.

We had a lovely stay in this cute and beatifully decorated house.

Location was fabulous with the beach at the end of the road. Several pubs within walking distance. Comunication with host very easy and friendly. The little touches were much appreciated and we had a fantastic stay. Tim, Hayley and Cody.

THE COTTAGE WAS GREAT IN THE RIGHT LOCATION FOR SHOPS, PUBS ,CHIPPY AND BEACH.

WE ENJOYED OUR STAY HERE .THE LOVELY WALKS ALONG THE BEACH . PLENTY OF PLACES TO VISIT. THANK YOU TO LESLEY FOR THE ADVICE AND HELP. WEATHER COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER SECOND PART OF WEEK BUT WAS MARCH SO CAN EXPECT IT. THANK YOU. BRIAN AND SANDRA AND BUSTER.

Fantastic accommodation.

in a great location. Would thoroughly recommend..

I highly recommend this little dollshouse cottage.

It has been laid out well and furnished with great taste. The owner is very helpful and goes out of her way to make your stay comfortable. So close to the beach, easy walks into lowestoft, pubs on your doorstep, shops close by. Everything you need. We had a fantastic week and will most certainly return.

Amazing cottage everything you need.

Beautiful beach and surrounding area. Shops a few minutes walk. Would definitely return and recommend it. Wonderful hosts too.

Had a lovely Christmas break in the cottage.

Its well equipped with everything you could need. The stairs are a bit quirky but not difficult for us personally. You are literally just round the corner from the beach with lovely walks and the town itself provides all essentials. A note about the owner. She went above and beyond during our stay, was contactable anytime if needed and the generous extras she provided for New Year were very gratefully received. All in all a good area for exploring or just relaxing with the beach on your doorstep, in a very comfortable house.

Nice cottage in a great location.

On the whole the property was well equipped, we thought the duvet was very well used and would benefit from a new one. . The owner was very easy to deal with.

So nice to stay in such a well thought out cottage which has it’s on true character.

There was everything I could have needed and friendly, welcoming text’s from the owner. The location was a short walk to the coast and to local facilities. Loved having my own parking space and exploring the Suffolk Coast. My dog had a fantastic time and loved the vast freedom the beach walks provided….. she wasn’t ever that keen to come back on the lead! I’d definitely recommend if you want a home away from home and a well loved cottage. It was immaculate x

This is a lovely cottage well placed for the beach , shops and pubs it has everything you need for a nice stay sky tv Wi-Fi and smart tv in bedroom the one thing you have to think about is the stairs to the bedroom they are very steep so if you have mobility problems it might not be for you apart from that I would recommend it we are hoping to go back later next year

Great little property, close to the beach.

A excellent base to explore Suffolk or just to relax. Owner was very friendly and was available if we had any issues ( which we didn’t).

Loved the cottage, quirky, and cosy.

Would love to be there in the summer to enjoy the lovely courtyard. The plants and flowers in gardens were lovely too. Location was great, less than 5 mins to beach. And very quiet.

It was a lovely warm, cosy cottage that was very well equipped.

The car parking was good, being a dedicated space in front of the property. The location was excellent for accessing many places to visit and it’s closeness to the coast was lovely. The owner was easily contactable, if needed, and was very helpful.

We felt welcomed and we were happy to be so near the beach

Lovely property and owner extremely helpful and friendly

The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed.

The location is perfect for wslking, or visiting the east of England. Friendly hosts.

Could have done with more accessories such as bin liners spray Cleaner etc just a few extra cleaning things

we thought the owner was very helpful and informative, the property was very clean and well equipped.

we would recommend it to anyone for a quiet holiday,

The property was in a great location for us and felt it was even better than it looked on the listing.

The letter was lovely and we couldn’t have been more helpful

Proximity of cottage to the Suffolk coast, Broads ,local pubs and stores could not be bettter.

Two mins walk to the beach meant early morning and evening strolls were part of every day. We focused on the Suffolk coast from Lowestoft to Aldeburgh including Snape Maltings, plus Beccles, Oulton Broad and the gardens of Somerleyton Hall. We ate out every evening in the local pubs/hotels in Pakefield ( no car needed) where we were spoilt for choice....good pub grub to fine dining. We were well looked after by welcoming staff especially as this was our first venture out since the outbreak of the epidemic. A brilliant holiday for two 75 year olds!

One of the best cottages we have stayed at.

Lovely interior, very well presented with lots of thoughtfully presented features. The only difficulty is that the stairs are steep and awkward and could be a challenge for some people. Great for local food and pubs within walking distance. Also easy to explore local area by car. We had a great time.

Very welcoming and helpful host
