  • "An idyllic situation and the property had everything we needed."

    Loved the morning sunrise from my bedroom with a balcony. My dog loved the walking along the grassy area between the beach and the property. Lots of steep steps down to the beach, but worth the effort. Good pub grub 20 minutes walk along the beach…Sailors Home.

    Thanks Helen, welcome back anytime, we love our guests to be happy Property Owner

  • "Seascape was once again our chosen place for a autumn break."

    The peace and quiet - the unbeatable easterly views of the North Sea, (which last week showed both it's fury and calm beautiful sunrises) what more is there to want but a clean, uncluttered place, well maintained both inside and out. Many thanks to all concerned.

    Thanks once again Margaret, your positive comments are always welcomed. We get comments on beds, too hard or too soft, settees too hard or too soft, beach not close enough etc.etc so getting the balance right is a juggling act and cannot please everyone. Sometimes our initial text is not read and rather than getting in touch to sort anything it is placed on here after the event. Our regulars come for a reason and you are always most welcome.

    Kettle seriously needed descaling unusable. Need new bedroom pillows in our opinion. Over all wonderful to sit and watch the sea and would happily come back and recommend.

    Thanks Helen, as we have discussed a housekeeping phone number is provided for immediate assistance and the kettle would have been changed. Thanks for descaling though. Property Owner

    Standing on the balcony and watching the sun rise on the longest day was just one of the many highlights. As usual, we were super comfortable in the house and appreciated being able to sit outside for breakfast and lunch on several occasions. We will definitely be back!

    Welcome as always, thanks for the loyal support Property Owner

  • "Once again Seascape was our 'home-from-home' for a week's break from the daily routine."

    Situated on the cliff top with uninterrupted views of the North Sea in a well maintained area (devoid of swings and seesaws) we have never witnessed anything but peace and quite. Warm, clean and cosy without clutter; with a well stocked selection of kitchen paraphernalia, books, games and DVDs to be viewed on the large TV screen, there is hardly a need to leave during a stay. Alternately, through the locked gate, down the steps and there miles of foreshore to roam. If meals out is on the cards, then its worth discovering the various eating establishments, doted about the region. Over the years Seascape has never been a disappointment, but this year extra praise (5* plus) has to be sent to Peter and his little 'gang'. So once again thank you very much - our stay was much appreciated. The beautiful sunrises witnessed were an added bonus!

    Thank you so much, we do try our hardest. Your review sums up the essence of what a break is all about. Welcome back anytime, stay safe and and well Peter Property Owner

  • "We had a really lovely week at Seascape."

    I would definitely recommend it. We didn't want to leave! Originally we had booked to stay in May but unfortunately my children caught Chicken Pox from school so we couldn't go. Peter was so kind in agreeing to change the week at the last minute instead of cancelling. I happily paid the extra to stay in August in the school summer holidays. I thought the price was really reasonable since other places in Suffolk were a lot more expensive! When we arrived at Seascape, we were amazed how spotlessly clean it was! It seemed more spacious compared to the photos and the view from the balcony was wonderful! It was great to have a separate bath downstairs and a shower upstairs. We were impressed with all the little things that had been included in the kitchen and it was nice to have a welcome pack of tea, coffee, wine etc. The WiFi and the smart TV were great. The location is excellent. We loved the private access to the pebble beach. We were also close to Lowestoft so perfect for my children to enjoy a sandy beach. Kesslingland is a nice village, bigger than I had originally thought. We enjoyed our day out at Africa Alive, which is very close.

The only other thing I would say is that we were told we had 2 parking spaces but when we arrived there weren't any. I do appreciate you can't stop other people parking but I think it might be helpful if the spaces were marked somehow to try and stop other people using your spaces.
