Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Lavvande to be clean and well-kept, though there were isolated comments about finding dead insects and sticky worktops, suggesting room for improvement in ensuring consistent cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded for its remoteness, easy access to the beach, local pubs, and a ferry to Southwold, making it an ideal setting for a peaceful getaway.
The property is generally considered comfortable, accommodating three generations of a family and providing good quality furnishings. However, some guests felt that the seating could be improved both indoors and outdoors.
Facilities are well-received with good quality appliances and a well-equipped kitchen. Points were deducted for reported issues with the EV charging point, incorrect Wi-Fi codes, and suggestions for additional kitchen equipment.
The welcome bottle was a delightful touch, mentioned by a guest, contributing to the property's charm. However, as gifts are not consistently referenced, they should not be expected with every stay.

One comment I would make is that the property was not recently cleaned/serviced. Several dead flies on the floor in the top bedroom, dead spiders in the shower (ensuite), kitchen worktops a little bit sticky and just wiped over. I assume it was cleaned some weeks before and had not been used or refreshed before my stay. Some parts are looking tired now (main bathroom in particular). For the price point this needs to be upgraded.

The house is so beautiful and decorated fantastically. We had a wonderful time in Walberwick. Everything we needed was available but for it to be perfect few things could be added to make it more user friendly for the amount of people the property can hold, such as only having a two slice toaster, it made breakfast for 7 people quite a tricky task!

We had a couple of issues - the main one being with the EV charging point which needs a PIN number to release the cable. Couldnât find this anywhere and spent a lot of time contacting Sykes who managed to get it for us. The mirror in the en-suite looks rather unsafe and there is also a broken floorboard outside one of the 1st floor bedrooms. Just a couple of maintenance issues but did not deter from the house being perfect for our stay.
