"Great area, nice cottage, but the place was dirty."
There were cobwebs in every room like it hadn't been cleaned, which was evident it hadn't been for sometime. There was cobwebs on windows in all rooms. There was even cobwebs on the stair carpet corners, that's how bad it was. My husband got rid of 15 spiders within the first 30 mins. The vent in the lounge window broken. There were dead flies on the lounge floor. The handrail going upstairs was sticky, the carpet filthy. The kitchen windows were dirty. When we were packing to leave I dropped a hanger and when my husband picked it up, there was an empty biscuit wrapper behind the bedside cabinet.... the outside table and chairs had a broken chair. Had it been a hotel, you can change but after paying for a week we were stuck. Disgraceful. I don't pay through the nose for a week away to clean up someone else's dirt. The owner get 6 hours to turn the property around, putting clean towels in the property does not constitute a deep clean. Which should be the minimum after covid.

"The cottage is pretty, comfortable and well-equipped."
It's very well situated in a quiet village next to a smashing pub and with good access to the coast and Norwich. The owner really does need to buy a new mattress for the double bed becase, as another reviewer has noted, it's so hard (I had to sleep on settee cushions on the lounge floor).

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here."
The cottage was clean and well equipped. Located in a small quiet village with a good pub next door.

"Great little property."
Ideal location. Comfortable and homely. The only issue we had was working the TV, but that may have down to user error! Good pub next door which served great home cooked food, but you need to book in advance.

"Lovely cottage in a great location, very comfortable."
Just a couple of small points, there was no hand soap in the bathroom and only 1 dishwasher tablet. We will definitely stay again!

"We've had a really good time."
Incredibly wonderful weather for the first 5 days. On Sunday we did all the Huntingfield walks, which are great and finished with beer/cider on the green from the pub next door. Bird watching at Minsmere and Hazlewood Marshes (near Aldeburgh) and Snape to Iken walk were all great. Weds was Orford - always a joy, especially the Jolly Sailors and the castle. Then the rain came so we went to Beth Chatto's Gardens near Colchester and the last day was spent at Sutton Hoo.. went to the latter many years ago and it is now really wonderful. This cottage is in a great location and very comfortable for a couple, with 2 sofas! Thank you for the wine, milk and biscuits. Sadly the rain did the beautiful yellow roses in!!

"We've loved our break at The Old Coach House, so comfortable and beautifully refurbished."
Our 1st visit to the area so lots to see and do - we liked quirky Thorpeness and enjoyed walking along the beach from from there to Aldeburgh, admiring Maggi Hambling's 'Scallop' along the way. We also had a lovely lunch at Snape Maltings - so peaceful. I'm sure we will return.

In the centre, near the wonderful All Saints Church and the historic Guildhall are a thriving modern Co-op store and two charming pubs. Close by, Halesworth is full of character, with old buildings, a weekly market held on a Wednesday and a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants. The beautiful Suffolk Heritage Coastline features unspoilt heathlands and the RSPB Minsmere Nature Reserve, whilst the delightful coastal towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh are all within a short drive.
