  • "We have returned to Durdans for a few years now, just because it is perfect for our needs."

    Its position is ideal, close to Southwold, we park the cars and walk everywhere. The house and gardens are amazing, perfect for the dog. We will, no doubt, return again next year.

  • "Had a super Christmas stay at Durdans ."

    It is a beautiful house in a wonderful location. The house was clean and well equipped and the Christmas decorations and tree were lovely. We had everything we needed for our festive break, including a fantastically generous welcome pack including lots of goodies from the local deli . We will definitely stay again .

  • "Having been regular - one might even say loyal - customers at Durdans for several years now we are sad to find the standard of maintenance leaves more and more to be desired."

    Nearly all of the fridge door shelves are now broken, as they have been for at least 2 years, so it is impossible to keep a bottle of milk in the fridge. The Venetian blinds in the en-suite bathroom don’t work and the curtains in the master bedroom need rehanging. The drain outside the kitchen is blocked so the waste water from the sink just flows out onto the drive. None of these are serious deficiencies (although not being able to keep milk in the fridge is seriously annoying!) but they do make Durdans feel rather unloved, and its guests accordingly rather underappreciated . We also arrived to find no tea towels and no oven gloves (we had to go and buy a pair of oven gloves, and fortunately we brought our own tea towels as there are never enough, but to find none at all is really not on). With a heavy heart, I think we may be moving on next year.

    Many apologies for the issues you raise. These have all been addressed. In addition we have made a number of changes and improvements to the house. This includes a completely new cleaning team who are excellent and it's made a huge difference, the house feels loved and well cared for. I am very sorry you won't be with us this year, but hope you might try us again next year. Property Owner

  • "We had concerns in relation to previous comments re cleanliness but this was no issue whatsoever."

    The family had a great stay and we would recommend the property. Our only comment would be we spent the whole week in the lovely kitchen due to the standard of the sofa in the lounge. We had a great stay but feel it may be time to upgrade the lounge seating to make it more welcoming. A great house, perfect location, would recommend. Thank you

    Thank you for your comments. We have made several improvements to the house including a reupholstered sofa in the lounge, so I do hope you will return and find it more comfortable Property Owner

  • "The property has the potential to be a 4 star as published however our party of 6 were extremely disappointed with the overall cleanliness which would reduce our overall rating to 2 star i."

    E. Dead flies under the bread bin , oven not cleaned internally , fridges and freezers not cleaned internally , Dog hairs over soft furnishings in Lounge . Also in particular, the cushions of the sofas in the main lounge either need replacing or at the very least a deep clean as there was an unpleasant 'musty' smell that pervaded the ground floor even after we had aired the property, hoovered everywhere , dusted the hard surfaces and sprayed febreze on the soft furnishings. None of this made for a relaxing holiday !

    Thank you for taking time to feedback this is obviously unacceptable, I do apologise. In the meantime we have appointed a completely new cleaning team. So far they have been excellent and the house feels cared for again, they even arrange the inside of the kitchen cupboards and drawers. I think you would find the house transformed. Property Owner

At bedtime, guests can choose from four superbly presented bedrooms; all are bright and airy and offer a relaxing oasis after a hard day of holidaying.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property with lawns, an orchard, shrubberies and a number of paved and decking areas giving guests plenty of choice of where to spend their time alfresco.
