    “The cottage and its position was lovely, it was very peaceful and a short walk into town, near several marked walks.”

    Unfortunately it was in need of a good clean. We didn’t use the kettle for instance as it was so heavily furred up. There was an oven tray that hadn’t been cleaned that we found in the oven. Generally the house was dusty and there were several cobwebs. The toilet seats were still lose. The mattress protector and sheet on the large bed (singles joined together) kept coming off. When we removed the duvet cover at the end of our stay we could see duvet was stained. There was nowhere to put ...

    Unfortunately it was in need of a good clean. We didn’t use the kettle for instance as it was so heavily furred up. There was an oven tray that hadn’t been cleaned that we found in the oven. Generally the house was dusty and there were several cobwebs. The toilet seats were still lose. The mattress protector and sheet on the large bed (singles joined together) kept coming off. When we removed the duvet cover at the end of our stay we could see duvet was stained. There was nowhere to put our walking boots and shoes. The phone numbers quoted on your website for the property were incorrect. The owner didn’t want hers on and the other number didn’t connect. Corrected after I phoned up and told you. Shouldn’t have been me having to sort that out. The owner should be aware the cottage needs a thorough clean as this is mentioned in other reviews. When we booked the cottage I saw that it needed cleaning but trusted both in your company and the owner would have sorted that out by now.

About the location

WOODBRIDGE

The River Deben runs alongside the town and is popular for boating, walking and wildlife with wonderful views over to the National Trust site of Sutton Hoo.
