"What a great find Lapwings was."
Clean, warm and comfortable. Everything we needed was there, a real home from home. Thank you for the wine and biscuits. It's very quiet round there but is still close to the town. There's 2 supermarkets 5 minutes walk away and if you don't fancy going into town there's the Railway Inn or The Old Generator Station nearby. There's a lovely sunny garden but beware of the clothes line halfway down in the dark. Ouch! A great stay, a lovely holiday and we will be back again.

"The accommodation is spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable."
We used it as a base for coastal and inland Suffolk, doing coastal walks and visiting English Heritage and National Trust properties a bit further afield. Aldeburgh is charming and the beach is lovely. We particularly enjoyed The Red House which is within walking distance of 17, Lapwings. Benjamin Britten is everywhere in Aldeburgh and the place is all the better for it. The complimentary wine and chocolate biscuits were a nice touch and much appreciated.

Could have done with a non-slip mat for the bath/overhead shower. Supermarkets and pub close by. Would book again.

"I thought lapwings was a perfect place to stay."
It was immaculately clean and stylish . The garden is a little gem. There is everything you need here for cooking ( not that we did ,there are excellent restaurants in Aldeburgh ) . It’s about a ten, fifteen minutes stroll into town. Lapwings is very calm ,perfectly placed in a very quiet area. Not forgetting parking which to my mind is reassuring to know that you won’t be driving around trying to find a space. We really enjoyed our stay here and I’m sure we’ll return .

"Excellent property in a great location."
Quiet & peaceful. A great deal of care has gone into making the property feel like a home from home. It is very clean & tidy with little extras eg night lights & scented reed diffusers.
Clear & helpful instructions left for operating appliances etc. Also a lovely colourful, relaxing garden. We are very happy to recommend this property.

"We always love Lapwings."
Such a beautiful house and well equipped and clean. We are having our house locally decorated so perfect to stay at Lapwings. Unfortunately and not Lapwings fault the next door neighbours we think are renting their house to rather noisy people who come in late and leave early morning.

"Lapwings was a lovely holiday home, very clean, fresh and comfortable."
Everything you need is provided (apart from a pen/pencil!). Really good location with supermarkets, high street and seafront close by. One suggestion would be to provide a non-slip bath size mat in bath instead of a shower size - much safer. Would definitely recommend this holiday home.

"Great little place to stay."
Very clean and well maintained. Particularly liked having a garden space and really nicely landscaped. One thing to watch out for - the bath is narrow and I did slip and as my foot rushed from under me I banged my toe against the plug cover. It is very sharp! Toe was bruised for a few days but fortunately not too bad. I can't recommend highly enough to use the shower mat! If I had lost my balance more it could have been very nasty.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Lapwings which was truly a ‘home from home’ and provided everything we needed in a holiday rental."
The garden was lovely and we enjoyed relaxing in the sun after a day exploring. Its location close to shops and within walking distance of the beach and town made it an ideal base. There are lots of interesting places to visit nearby particularly Sutton Hoo and RSPB Minsmere. Highly recommended!
