• "We have just returned from our holiday at Kessingland staying at Seascape Cottage."

  Everything was satisfactory and we were able to cook some good food every day as the facilities for doing so were perfect. Plenty of hot water for baths and showers. A freezer which enabled me to take my dietary needs. It was home from home, but with the additional pleasure of the sea view. We shall be going back again next year.

  Thanks so much, get diary sorted. Getting a list of squatters and hate to disappoint. As always our best wishes. Property Owner

  We had a lovely week at Seascope holiday cottage. Everything was to our liking and although we had a day of rain we were able to keep cosy and have our coffee overlooking the sea from the balcony. This is really home from home for us. We return twice a year every year. Colin and Margaret

  First impressions of Kessingland were not brilliant but as we got to know it better our first impressions proved erroneous. I'd happily come back! It's a great place for beach and inland walks and the location is really good

• "The cottage is very well appointed and very well looked after, we really enjoyed our stay."

  The only problem was the TV aerial cable seemed to work sometimes then signal would drop and think there was a lose connection in the lead. Also the TV remote did not function very well so probably needs new batteries or the buttons are worn. The DVD remote did not work at all and when we looked to see if needed new batteries they wee leaking inside the handset. We reported these issues to the maintenace man so he could sort out for next arrivals. Apart from that it is a great house and very comfortable. Beds are a bit hard for us but that's just us. Could do with a freezer compartment to make ice or put ice cream in but apart from that a great place to stay. I know there are no bins in the house so we took our own bin bags and we had no issues. The bathrooms could do with a couple more hooks and a towel ring/rail near the sinks. Would definately recommend.

  Reviewed by Jacqueline4.1★Jun 2023

• "We have stayed in many cottages with Sykes, this is the first one that did not have bins for waste, this was very awkward as the bins were in the car park, which meant you need bin bags to put rubbish in to take to the bins, again not something you normally take on holiday."

  no cleaning products such as bleach for the toilets or cleaning spray for the kitchen(not something you would normally buy or take). It would have been nice to have an ice box in the fridge. The views are fabulous and it was very peaceful stay

• "The overall experience was amazing."

  Support was really good from a man called Pete. Would loved the corner suite instead of 2 small sofas but like I said the experience was amazing . It was clean and fresh. The local amenities covered what you needed it if you didn't need to go anywhere. The walk on the seafront to lowestoft is great and you can catch the 99 bus back to the house

  The corner shower was great. A lovely welcome pack as well. There's only a larder fridge. It didn't effect us this time but if we were there in the summer I would miss not being able to freeze some ice blocks.

  The weather was mixed but in spite of this the accommodation was perfect whatever the weather. The facilities are ideal, all we needed to make some good meals, and the views of the sea are the icing on the cake. It's our favourite holiday destination.

• "Had a most enjoyable week in mid October weather kind to us."

  We spoke to at least 3 owners of properties on site & was encouraged by how happy they are there. Property was clean & comfortable location great. If owners want to reach 5* they could consider hand towels for each person + 2pillows per bed. Luckily we took our own. The reasoning behind having no bins in the property due to lingering odours does not make any sense, as you have to keep food waste & any other rubbish hanging around on the worktop over night, it is totally impractical to walk through a very poorly lit carpark in the rain & dark every time you have rubbish.

  Reviewed by Susan4.1★Oct 2022

• "Very nice with a great view."

  Lots of DVD's supplied. Nicely decorated. Well equipped. TV remote needs replacing. One three seat sofa would be nice because both were very small two seat. No rubbish bin in the household at all. Had the information warned me, I would have taken bin bags. Last part of directions were poor. We had to wander around to find it, lots of 'private ' signs made us think we were in the wrong place. Information booklet was written in 2015, with no mention of 'Sykes' anywhere.

  Prior to all guests arriving we send a text or email fully advising on the recycling and to prevent odours we do not have rubbish bins in the property. Nobody has found the directions difficult to follow in all the years we have been renting out through Sykes Cottages. Lastly if there is ever an issue we also supply a personal phone number and for maintenance and cleaning to make contact. Stay safe and well. Property Owner

  Wrong door code given and inner door lock to entrance needs fixing. Everything else was lovely and the view is spectacular. Would definitely stay again as overall the property is lush.

  Hi Laurence, we give both a cleaner and maintenance phone number to contact to put right any issues. Had you called the element could have been sorted. As for the key code it was sorted immediately. We strive for 100% feedback as given by most of our guests and this could have been achieved had you called. Apart from that you are welcome back anytime. Stay safe and well. Property Owner

  Having the garden with a private entrance to the dunes was a highlight of the property and a perfect quick access for one eager pup. Having a 2nd bathroom off the kitchen with a bath was also ideal for cleaning pup down after a dip in the sea. **The property doesn't have a freezer or icebox so might be worth bringing your own ice making machine if the though of a warm g&t of an evening is not appealing. On a whole we thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay and would highly recommend.

  A stroll down the steps led to the vast grassy dunes and the pebbly, dog-friendly beach beyond. Considering we were visiting in peak summer time, it was like having the beach to yourself, with other beach users just a speck in the distance. . The property itself was tidy, light, clean and ideal for our requirements, and the view of the morning sunrise from the main bedroom was truly amazing.

  Beds were comfy and the view on Christmas morning was stunning looking out on clear blue skies and the sea as a mill pond. I would definitely recommend the property to anyone visiting the area, especially if you are a dog owner, there are some beautiful walks and the beach is dog friendly. Thankyou for a great Christmas week, made even better as the property had been festivly decorated which was a fantastic touch.

• "We loved the beautiful view of the sea from the bedroom each morning."

  The accommodation was very comfortable although lacked attention to detail. The shower upstairs dribbled out small drops of water and was unusable. The shower downstairs kept sliding down and was difficult to use because of this. The kitchen utensils for cooking were very poor quality. We had to buy a large frying pan and the one there was small and very worn. The curtains in the lounge were hanging off in parts. The interior front door didn’t lock. The pillows were very flat and uncomfortable. However, the location was wonderful. You must keep your dog on a lead on the front green area but once you get to the beach, down some very steep steps, they can run free. The Sailor’s Home pub is to the right, about a ten minute walk along the beach, and serves home cooked food at a reasonable price. It’s dog friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our week but probably won’t return due to the above mentioned points. These things make a wealth of difference to me and would be easily put right.
