Guests find the property comfortable, with high-quality furnishings and a peaceful environment. Some concerns about underfloor heating not being warm enough at night and the practicality of the bathroom window are noted.
The facilities are generally praised, especially the hot tub and high-spec appliances. However, the lack of a freezer, washing machine, and the need for guests to supply their own logs for the hot tub if used multiple times slightly lower the score.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, with mentions of welcome goodies and other small touches. While these gifts greatly enhance the experience, it is politely noted that such extras, while delightful, are not guaranteed.

From pre arrival to departure, the host (Ian) was incredibly helpful and very warm. The cottage and its grounds were even more stunning than the pictures. The cottage was tastefully decorated to high specs, cosy and bright especially with the morning rays. Everything you need is provided within the cottage. Close proximity to the beach and lovely views of Felixstowe from the front patio. Very family friendly and lots deer , Suffolk hare and rabbits to see from the living room windows. This was the highlight for our daughters. The host was just brilliant and nothing was too big a deal. Always with a smile. Only thing I'll change about the cottage is the see through bathroom windows, would be ideal to have frosted windows or blinds for privacy as you can see in from outside ( though it's round the side of the house ). Overall, it was an excellent cottage with absolutely beautiful surroundings which was also very relaxing. Will definitely be back for a longer period next time.

The annex itself was very high spec build, modem furnishing and décor throughout. It had everything you would need down to a can opener. The Annex has under floor heating in the open plan lounge, this was not that warm at night time, however blankets are provided. The bathroom is a jack and jill bathroom connecting both bedrooms, however in the bathroom there is no blind and the window is not frosted. This is not practical if you are sharing with family or friend's. The host heated the hot tub for us the following day after we arrived. It is heated by wooden logs with no heating regulator [the temperature went up to 44.5 dg] the only way to cool it down was to use a garden hose. The next time we asked the host for the hot tub he told us it took him a whole day to heat it last time he did for us out of the goodness of his heart [Thank you] and that if we wanted the hot tub again to go and buy our own logs and heat it ourselves. This was not in the description about bring logs or we would have never have booked, that is the only real negatives.
