"We had a lovely stay, thank you."
You’ll have seen a new brush and dustpan…. So sorry, we broke a plate ( warming it on the mini oven, opened said oven and it slipped off. ) Swept up the bits a bit too vigorously and broke the brush….
No worries at all and glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the new dustpan and brush, it’s a better quality than the one we had :) Thank you, Michelle and Neil Property Owner

"A little gem, tucked away in the village of Blaxhall."
The owners had thought of everything, and successfully, with thoughtful storage,provided all that one might need. A pleasant surprise was a well provisioned welcome basket. Lots of lovely walking for myself and Poppy! Thank you

"We loved our week's stay in Admirals Cottage."
The cottage is beautifully decorated, cosy, quiet, comfortable and clean as a whistle. The owners clearly take pride in ensuring that their guests have the best possible experience. The cottage is also perfectly located to visit all the wonderful places on and near the Suffolk coast within half an hour's drive or less. Meanwhile, there are great walking trails within easy reach - we particularly enjoyed morning walks along both banks of the River Alde, only 5-10 minutes away by car. Lots of great pubs nearby for a relaxed dinner and a pint of Suffolk's finest at the end of each day too.

"It was a beautiful cottage."
Everything you could possibly want was there. All the little details ticked. Very handy to get to all the places of interest. We had a very enjoyable stay.

"We absolutely loved our 2 nights at Admirals Cottage and are already planning when to return for a longer stay."
Perfect for the two of us and our little dog. Very cute and cosy cottage, nicely decorated, everything you need for a comfortable few days away. Spotlessly clean, nice surprise hamper on arrival, quiet location and a good base to visit all the local areas including Snape, Aldeburgh, Woodbridge, Southwold and Framingham with a number of dog friendly pubs within a 10-15 minute drive. If I had to pick one thing that would make it even better it would be high speed wifi just so we could stay longer and incorporate some remote working (however we understand that due to location this may not be feasible). Thanks for such a lovely stay! We look forward to staying again soon.

"A lovely, cosy little place in a quiet location."
The cottage has everything you need for a few days stay and was perfect for us as a base as we were out exploring Suffolk. The hamper that was left for us had everything in it we could want and the candle made it that little bit ‘more’. Thank you for a brilliant few days in your cottage-we will be back!

"Lovely little cottage, ideal for a short break and located off the beaten track but within a short distance from Suffolk coastal highlights."
-
"What a wonderful cottage!"
I couldn't believe how comfortable it was. It was just me and the dog (a lurcher) and I had the most relaxing and restful time there. It is convenient for so many places but when you get home at the end of a day it is like a big hug. It felt like everything had been thought of. Not least the dog with lots of extras for her. I regretted not bringing a hairdryer and then found one in the drawer and an iron and ironing board. Thank you for the welcome gifts. I had a wonderful stay and hopefully will book again.

"This property was perfect set in a beautiful quiet hamlet ."
Well equipped with matching quality crockery cutlery etc everything you needed was there. Comfortable bed quality bedding and towels. A brilliant electric shower which you don’t always find. The downside for me was the very thick tree needed cutting back as it blocked out light in the living area.Would definitely recommend for a relaxing holiday.

"This was my second stay in this delight cottage."
I absolutely love the location it’s so peaceful and beautiful and yet easy to explore the surrounding towns, coasts and gorgeous villages.
-
"Really enjoyed our week here, with lots of interesting places within easy reach."
The cottage is excellent, being small but clean, well-equipped and comfortable. The hosts are friendly and responsive - there was an issue with the shower on our first day, but they were straight onto it as soon as we mentioned it and it was fixed within hours. Would happily stay here again to explore more of what Suffolk has to offer.

"Fabulous cottage and setting ."
We had the most relaxing stay . Suffolk is a beautiful county with lots to see and do .

"Loved this teeny cottage."
Everything we needed was there and the location is perfect for Snape Maltings, Sutton Hoo, Woodbridge, Framlingham, Southwold, Aldeburgh...we even ventured to Bury St Edmunds. So peaceful here. The only considerations I would include is that it is really compact, with a 2 ring hob & a worktop oven for example, and that the mattress is very hard which my husband & I found extremely uncomfortable (but that is a personal preference). Other than that it is a lovely home from home in a gorgeous location and we had a wonderful week here.
Good Evening! Many thanks for taking time to send feedback on Admirals Cottage. We are still relatively new to this and are looking to improve the cottage in any way we can. I’m so sorry you didn’t sleep comfortably. We spent a lot on a Hypnos bed and mattress somewhere in the middle of hard and soft, but as you mention, it is hard find a mattress to suit all and this was the first time we had negative feedback regarding the bed. It is also a quick fix so I will add a mattress topper which can always be removed if found too soft! Admirals is very much a teeny cottage and we have maximised the space as much as possible and compromises had to be made in the kitchen area so 2 hobs and the small above head oven/airfryer enables our residents to make a cooked meal but I appreciate if cooking larger more complex meals for a period of time, this may be challenging. Without an extension there is not sufficient space to have a freestanding oven so sadly this one is not such a quick fix. I will check with Best of Suffolk who market the property to ensure that the description accurately illustrates the cottage and facilities. Thank you for your custom and feedback, we are glad you enjoyed the area. We love it! Michelle and Neil Property Owner

"Very nice cottage, compact and bijou."
Very clean and finished to a high standard. Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
-
"Very nice and set in a lovely rural location."
The silence was palpable and we were blessed with clear nights and starry skies unpolluted by street lights. Despite the isolated feel, the delights of Aldeburgh, Orford and Thorpeness are a short drive away. The property was well equipped, in very good condition and sparkling clean. Could have done with a shower mat but otherwise couldn't fault the cottage. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

"Comfortable clean quaint cottage."
-
"This is an excellent addition and 'little gem' to what is on offer in Suffolk for single/couple with/without a dog."
The charm has been perfectly pitched in an area of peace and calm only a couple of miles from Snape and Suffolk beyond. A thoughtful welcome pack worked to enhance the warmth. This is a new property and all the necessary amenities were provided. We stayed for a couple of nights but felt relaxed to wish we could have stayed longer. Well done, would not hesitate to recommend you and would definitely rebook.

"We loved our stay in the cute cottage."
It had everything we could need for a couple of nights. It was super clean and organised. The well maintained and private outside space was a bonus as the weather was lovely.

I have already reserved my booking to return in 2024.

"Beautiful property Very well equipped and immaculate."
We loved our stay at admirals cottage and would definitely recommend it to our friends and family. A lovely welcome basket which was very much appreciated. Our hosts Michelle and Neil are lovely and nothing was too much trouble. One of the best cottages that we have ever stayed at.

"Lovely little cottage for two in a very peaceful location."

"Very relaxing and comfortable stay in this well equipped cottage in incredibly peaceful rural location."
Absolutely perfect for 2 people and a dog, with fully enclosed patio, footpaths adjacent and excellent village pub a short walk away, close to the many attractions along the Suffolk coast.

"28/05/2023 - 30/05/2023."
We were the first guests to stay at Admirals Cottage, it is absolutely lovely, you can really see the care and attention that has gone into making it a comfortable place to stay. It's in a perfect location for exploring the local area, and further afield. Aldeburgh, Southwold and Woodbridge are well worth a visit. We popped up to Yarmouth and Lowestoft as well. Neil was really helpful with some recommendations of places to eat, we had a nice bite to eat at The Duck, Campsea Ashe and popped into The Ramsholt Arms on our way home for lunch, again this was lovely. Only a few bit's of feedback, non are negative, just some observations. It would be good to have a little book telling guests the basic info like WiFi Password, which bin is which (we weren't sure if we could put glass in the recycling). We couldn't work out how to get the normal TV channels on the TV (not sure if that was actually possible LOL). The welcome hamper as lovely. Will definitely be recommending to friends and will be back for another visit soon.
Thank you for your feedback. This is really helpful as we are new to holiday cottage letting. We will add instructions regarding the Wi-Fi, the external bins and the TV channels to our initial text message and place laminated instructions in the cottage Property Owner
