Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Super clean. Good beds and bedding, well equipped for all occasions. Good location, close to Woodbridge, the sea and Sutton Hoo. We spent a fabulous long weekend there.
Thank you so much for the excellent feedback Beate. So pleased you enjoyed your stay at Sandlings.

"On arrival the place was spotlessly clean and we couldn't find a single downside."
It is certainly very light and airy.
There are 2 spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds and plenty of storage. The kitchen diner has plenty of pots, pans and kitchen gadgets to make a variety of meals. The lounge had comfortable sofas and a decent sized TV to relax with of an evening.
There is a shop and a pub within walking distance. The town of Woodbridge, with its interesting collection of independent shops and its lovely Tide Mill, is only 15 minutes drive away.
With in a reasonable driving distance are Sutton Hoo, Suffolk Punch Horses, Snape, Aldeburgh, Orford, Southwold, Bury St Edmunds plus many other places of interest.
We really enjoyed our stay at Sandlings and would recommend it for a holiday.
Thank you so much for the very positive feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed the house and your stay in Suffolk. Just one little point - we have 3 bedrooms, 2 doubles and one room with 2 single beds. I point this out for anyone considering renting the house in the future. Regards

"Another lovely week away at this excellent modern house."
Perfect location for exploring the beautiful Heaths and coastal villages of SE Suffolk. We particularly liked the local heathland walks and bird watching opportunities. Sutton Hoo is a short distance away and has a nice cafe, the Friday fish and chips from the local community centre truck were excellent and great value too. There is a private driveway big enough for two cars to be tucked away safely once you have decanted at the kerbside. Our third visit in a year, we highly recommend this very nice house
Thank you for the excellent feedback. It is much appreciated. We hope to see you again soon.

The property is beautifully presented, very clean and has everything that you could need. One of the best properties we’ve stayed in. The owners have clearly thought carefully about the requirements of holidaymakers. A very well equipped kitchen and thoughtful provision for children. Great to have a parking place beside the house which we comfortably fitted our large SUV into. We would highly recommend this property.

"The property itself was clean and comfortable."
However, if you drive a medium to large SUV, parking is a real pain due to the narrow width of the assigned parking space and the close proximity of cars parked by the owners of adjacent properties.

It felt less of a holiday property and more of a home.

Bike storage was an added bonus. The village of Hollesley has an excellent pub, about 200 metres from the property, that opens every day,serving good food at very reasonable prices from Wednesday through to Sunday lunchtime. The village shop met all of our basic needs. Fresh eggs and vegetables are available locally using an honesty box system.

"Sandlings is a lovely modern 3 storey town house set in a peaceful village."
The local shop has long opening hours and a good selection of items and the pub are both only 2 minutes walk. Hollesley is set next to a large area of common ground, gorse heath and woodland with many trails to explore for the walker, cyclist and horse rider. There is a real sense of community in the village, from the community garden to the warm welcome at the pub and shop and friendly neighbours. The house has generously sized bedrooms and bathrooms and a private little rear garden. It's very well equipped and has a toilet on every level. The kitchen and lounge may be a little cosy for a party of six but was certainly spacious enough for our party of 3. There is private off road parking for two cars and the village is set on a picturesque peninsula with the nearby shingle beach of Shingle Street, sleepy villages and a mixed sand/shingle beach at Bawdsey. The nearby town of Woodbridge is a lovely mix of independent shops in a historic high street and the odd, more upmarket chain. Plenty to see and discover at a pace to suit yourself. We had no issues with WiFi at all.

"The main issue was that the wifi in the house did not work at all, this made it especially hard as we spent most of the weekend unable to even get a signal on our phones."
2 people in our group rely heavily on the internet due to the nature of their businesses so this did hinder some of the work that they could do at the house. I did feel it would be better to say on the listing that whilst wifi is available, it is very temperamental to make those that need access to the internet aware that there could be some issues.
However, there were many more positives that far outweighed the lack of wifi.
There weren't enough towels in the house for all of us so we contacted the home owner and they sent round fresh towels very quickly, the kitchen had everything that we needed, the house was clean (although there were a few spiders around) and the garden was big enough for what we needed and well kept.
The only drawback was that it was quite a way from all the main shops, having said that, I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to come and stay in the area and would definitely go back.
Thank you for your feedback and your recommendation of our property. We are so sorry there was an issue with the wifi during your stay, unfortunately this was due to a problem with the provider and as such was out of our hands. This has since been rectified.

"Sandlings was very homely with all the facilities that we needed for a week's stay."
It was extremely clean with lots of extra seaside themed touches which made it feel like a holiday home. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms had lots of storage. There were plenty of towels and the kitchen was well equipped. Located in a small village, it was just a short walk to the village shop which was well stocked and the local pup (essential to book for a Friday evening). We were glad that we followed the information about the 'Fish and Chip Van' which calls at the local recreation ground on a Friday evening - generous portions and tasty. We made use of the garden which was quiet. There was a short power cut after which the WiFi failed to come back on. This wasn't too much of a problem as it meant our teenagers had to talk to us and play games in the evening! Lots of lovely places to visit locally including Woodbridge, Sutton Hoo, Southwold and Aldeburgh. We were lucky enough to visit Aldeburgh for Carnival including the lantern parade and fireworks in the evening. Thank you for the tea, coffee, milk and biscuits on arrival.
