Seashells, Aldeburgh

• "This was our fourth visit to 'Seashells' and is our favorite house for our yearly reunion!"

  (We otherwise go to Southwold.) Seashells is a beautiful house and we were particularly impressed this year how beautifully it has been maintained and obviously cared for! Our only grip and probably its a very significant one was the very uncomfortable 'truckle bed' in the smaller of the three bedrooms on the first floor. The mattress or the whole bed needs replacing if adults are expected to sleep on it! (No offence intended to older children)! We would like to book again for next year, but this bed is of concern?!? Otherwise a really super time was had by us all!

  Thanks for your feedback, we have now replaced all the single mattresses with 1000 pocket spring new medium weight premium mattresses from Slumberland. Property Owner

• "Lovely house in a great location with easy, quick access to the town and beach."

  Very comfortable stay which could be improved with better quality beds. Otherwise a great house in a great location.

  Thank you for your comments although we are disappointed by the first negative feedback on the quality of the beds, all are the beds are John Lewis premium range and we have recently replaced three of the single mattresses again with premium specification. Property Owner

• "This is a lovely house that we have visited many times."

  The 5 bedrooms precisely meet our needs. The house is warm and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. One minor point, we spent more time on this visit sat on the sofas in the kitchen/living room. A coffee table here would have been useful so that we didn't put mugs on the floor. Thanks

  Thanks for your positive feedback - we have now added a coffee table in both the lounge and the kitchen / living area Property Owner

  Fully stocked with the necessities to get straight into the holiday. Sheltered, sunny, private garden. We will return Bob and Pam

• "We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the downstairs floors, which were very dirty."

  The response from BOS was good, but not a good start. Some pots, oven trays and utensils were left dirty/greasy from previous occupants. Again, the owner sent new trays right away, but not a good start to have to wash up before we started preparing a family meal. Finally, the toilet in the ground floor and master bedroom in floor 2 take an age for the cistern to refill. A maintenance man fixed the en suite, but the ground floor bathroom needs attention also. Outside of the property, we felt all bushes and shrubs needed a cutback and were overgrown. We are repeat bookers with BOS and want a luxury holiday home when we are in holiday. This holiday has left us looking at different options for next year I am afraid.

  This has been the first cleanliness complaint and lowest score we have received in many years of owning the property and for that we can only apologise. We do endeavour to provide a luxury experience as this is our family holiday home. Our cleaning company attended as soon as the issue was raised and cleaned the floor area in question. It is incumbent on guests to leave pots and pans clean or in the dishwasher and again as soon as this issue was highlighted new baking trays were delivered within 24 hours. Regarding the cisterns our plumber has attended the property and all cisterns fill within one minute, the filling siphon on the ground floor cistern has been replaced as it was the slowest. Bushes and shrubs are regularly maintained and the next garden trim is at the end of this month. Property Owner

• "A beautiful house."

  We were very sad to leave. Very well equipped and great location. Our only comments would be the lack of storage space in the bedrooms and no communal shower. But we will definitely be coming back again.

• "Seashells was a fantastic holiday home with everything you could want to make your stay as comfortable as possible."

  The house itself was spotlessly clean and everything had been thought of by the owners. The location was fab, a 5 minute walk to the beach and Aldeburgh town. Would definitely recommend and will return.

  Thank you for your kind comments and look forward to you booking again. Property Owner

• "Beautiful and spacious house."

  Plenty of room for all 7 (and our dog) of us that stayed. We came away for my best friends 10th wedding anniversary that was on NY Eve. Had a great time in Aldeburgh itself but spent almost all of the break within the four walls of Seashells. A lovely house and we were very happy with our choice. Highly recommended.

• "It was a great place to stay for us all, if I had to criticise anything it would be the oven and the appliances are looking a bit tired the dishwasher door no longer remains open and the fridges are broken in places."

  Cooking for 7 adults was a stretch because the small oven didn’t have many trays or dishes that fitted. My daughter in law was the chef and she found it a difficult thing to juggle for Christmas lunch.

• "Great place to stay, beautiful home, well equipped with plenty of space."

  Only downside is the parking for only one car but we did manage to park further down the road.

  Thank you for your kind comments. The property can actually accommodate one car parked on the drive and one car parked carefully on the path by the wall in front of the property, ensuring it does not block our neighbours drive. Property Owner
