The Waverley

Nice spacious house, however the steps from the house to the terrace were very steep.

And there were little steps in the house that until your use to them can be a bit dangerous ( step down into bathroom, then from hallway to dining area) Back bedroom, the bed was very comfy, and I’m very fussy. And your water is so soft to where we live, showers were amazing Could do with an airfryer Nice walk to the beach and pier

The Waverley is a clean, comfortable and well equipped property with a great secure garden (which our dog very much enjoyed).

The weather was very kind to us to us with a week of wall to wall sun so we were able to sit out in the garden on the patio every morning and evening which made for a very relaxing break. The property is in a fabulous location within a short stroll of the promenade/beach and also town. We very much enjoyed our stay here. A few minor aspects which would further improve the property: A dropped curb is needed outside the house to make accessing the driveway with a large car easier. Cars parking on the road, including immediately in front of the drive, sometimes makes accessing the drive tricky. There are plenty of red wine glasses but only 1 white wine glass, so a few more of these would be good. A few small glass tumblers for drinks (G& T’s

Lovely property, we had a fabulous stay here, comfy bed, gorgeous garden and patio, perfect for sitting outside and for our dog to run around.

Well maintained, plenty of crockery etc, beautifully decorated and modern but very cosy. Only had one problem with downstairs toilet seat, but was rectified same day, thank you. We'd already another two weeks away here, September and December, so looking forward to our return.

The house was lovely, very clean.

Ideal location and very quiet. Close to the beach and shops. Information from owners was very good. I went with my parents 78 & 79 years old. The only thing I would say is that they struggled to turn the handles on the internal doors.

Missing coffee pods on arrival Number of small steps making it tricky for my 95 year old mother to move around One broken blind but otherwise accommodation was very comfortable

When we saw the last review from February half term we were a little concerned about our upcoming stay but we really didn’t need to worry.

The property was really warm - in fact we had to turn the heating down! The house was really clean and beautifully furnished and decorated. Really comfortable beds. It exceeded our expectations from the photos and was good value for money. It was a lovely space to spend a few days - 3 generations of our family plus our 2 dogs. The patio and enclosed garden were perfect for the dogs. I would definitely recommend this property and am already looking into booking a return visit. My only suggestion would be for the patio area and steps to be swept as there was quite a bit of moss and some wet tissue - but this really is a small point.

We stayed in the property over February half term and wished we hadn’t .

When we arrived late afternoon the property was freezing; it took hours for the house to warm up from the 17 degrees the thermostat was set at, despite housekeeping being in the property during the day as we had seen them at the property when we arrived in Southwold. The first evening was effectively spoilt by having to sit in hats and scarves to keep warm. The bunk bedroom where my daughter was due to sleep was so cold that we had to use the supplied fan heater to get it to a reasonable temperature but as this smelled terrible when on, the relief was short lived. This room never got warm for the duration of our stay despite the heating being on - there must be a problem with the fabric of the building that affects this room, and as a result my daughter came home with a terrible cough and cold. The house had a kind of ‘tarted up’ feel about it, which soon became apparent. The bathroom door did not close so a flimsy bolt was added to keep it shut, but I had to tell my daughters not to use it because the knob was so wobbly it could have come off and they’d be stuck in the bathroom unable to get out. The shower screen over the bath did not actually touch the bath, so whenever you used the shower you had the joy of mopping up puddles of spray off the floor afterwards. Obviously not what you want to be doing on holiday. There was no radiator in the kitchen, only a fan heater, which didn’t actually pump out warm air, and the dining room didn’t have a main light, only lights over the table, with one of the bulbs missing so you had to eat your dinner in the gloom. Not great either when your daughter needed to use the space to revise for exams. The house was at least clean and well served by kitchen equipment, but overall it had a kind of ‘student vibe’ which meant we didn’t want to spend time there and regretted spending money on what was marketed as a high-end property. All of this has been reported to Sykes since our stay.

We had a lovely holiday at The Waverley.

It’s a very confortable house, tastefully decorated and furnished and immaculately clean. You do need to be quite careful of the steps; there are quite a few from the terrace to the lawn and a couple of slightly unexpected ( though well-marked ) ones in the hall and bathroom. The beds and bed linen are gorgeously comfortable and with all that peace and quiet and fresh air we all slept very well. We’re looking forward to another visit soon.

Lovely property, clean, bright, good position.

Two little problems, the bathroom lock is a bit tricky and likely to get stuck. Also, the lounge curtain comes off the track when closing curtains. Dont let that put you off though, this is a great house to stay in.

Great location Lovely garden and terrace to sit in evening Fabulous kitchen Comfortable beds
