    “I booked this cottage for myself and 2 friends.”

    It was important to have a ground floor bedroom and bathroom for myself as I have limited mobility and visual impairment at 83yrs. The twin bedroom I had was not comfortable at all. It was cold, and the listing did not make it clear that there was nowhere to hang clothes. The only space for this was an alcove covered with a curtain, but the only way to access this was to climb over the bed, which I was unable to do!

    It was important to have a ground floor bedroom and bathroom for myself as I have limited mobility and visual impairment at 83yrs. The twin bedroom I had was not comfortable at all. It was cold, and the listing did not make it clear that there was nowhere to hang clothes. The only space for this was an alcove covered with a curtain, but the only way to access this was to climb over the bed, which I was unable to do! Behind the curtain there was a rail, however, there were no coat hangers. I find this very annoying and puzzling as to why they wouldn't be included. In this day and age of airbnb etc, these should be the minimum standard. There should have 'been some hooks or something in the room to hang things on, so as not to have to climb over the bed. This should be made clear in the listing. If 2 people were sharing the room, there would be nowhere to put a case or clothes. There did not appear to be any blankets in case of cold nights. The stairs were narrow and very dangerous due to there being no handrail. Anyone with mobility issues would not be safe climbing these stairs. This should be made clear in the details. We had to mop the kitchen floor when we arrived as it was very sticky. We have noticed that other reviewers have mentioned cutlery and crockery not being clean. The house is dressed with the bare minimum of comfort and expense. This could be much nicer with a tiny little bit of effort and would not cost much either. It is clear the owners are working for profit only and not in the interests of their clients. The lounge area could be made more cosy by the addition of a warm mat, it did not feel like a space to relax in when the weather was bad. My friends are younger than me and more physically able, however, they also found the property lacking in comfort.

    Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that the property wasn't quiet right for you. The Cottage is a quintessential country cottage, with original staircase and room sizes. We do try to make this as clear as possible, with both pictures, description and floor plan. The beds and mattresses are brand new but we do thank you for your suggestion of more throws, which the owner is going to add. Thank you for passing on about the floors, we will pass this on. The cottage is decorated to not draw away from the character of the house. This is to maximise the feel and look of the period house. There is a warm rug in front of the fire once the fire is lit it make the cottage feel cosey and keeps to the authentic of the house. We hope to invite you back to the Best of Suffolk and Sykes Cottages soon. Property Owner

About the location

WESTLETON

Saxmundham 6 miles; Southwold 9 miles; Aldeburgh 15 miles.

Westleton is an idyllic village near the Suffolk coast, nestled between Southwold and Aldeburg and offers all the attributes you could hope for in a Suffolk village, with a village green complete with pond and ducks. The village is easily accessible from the local train station at Darsham approximately two miles away. The village has a store, a bookshop where you can also enjoy a tea or coffee whilst browsing, an old fashioned garage, as well as two pubs, The White Horse Inn and The Westleton Crown, one of Suffolk’s best traditional inns where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate held their first wedding anniversary. Every August, Westleton hosts the infamous Barrel Rolling Fair where contestants have to roll barrels down the Village Green using a pole, and the men have to roll the barrel back up the hill too. Barrels are supplied and all are welcome to join in! The local Emmerdale Farm Shop and Butchery as well as a tea shop is approximately a mile away. The area is a haven for nature lovers with Westleton Heath National Nature Reserve, Dunwich Forest, Dunwich Beach with its famous fish and chip shop located on the beach, and the RSPB Minsmere, all close by. The town of Saxmundham, 6 miles away, is located on the River Fromus, in the heart of Suffolk’s Heritage Coast and is well serviced with independent shops, supermarkets and a train station, as well as art galleries, a weekly market and a farmers’ market.
