Well placed, but not so well presented...
Positives:
1. Location is excellent for exploring the Suffolk Coast.
2. Saxmundham has everything you need in terms of shops, cafes, takeaways etc.
3. The cottage is walking distance from the amenities.
4. Although basic, the cottage had a well equipped kitchen.
5. Off road parking for two cars.
6. Constant hot water.
7. Outside seating, but views are disappointing- see point 6 below.
8. Dog friendly.
9. Key safe access.
Negatives:
1. The TV was unwatchable. The picture was awful! No DVD player to offer an alternative either.
2. In the lounge is a mysterious door marked 'private' that leads to an adjoining property. It wasn't mentioned on the cottage information. It's an interior door so not that secure.
3. The bedroom is small with limited space to manoeuvre around the bed. The bed is a wooden frame so a bit of an obstacle. Expect to stub your toe!
4. The welcome folder asks that you strip the bed before leaving. I had no issue with this. I did have issue with the quality and cleanliness of the duvet and pillows! The pillows had seen better days; they were flat and stained. The duvet was also stained. On reflection, I wish I hadn't been as helpful. It put me off after sleeping there for two nights.
5. The fridge is noisy, but we just closed the kitchen door at night.
6. The cottage is next to/above a building site. The views from the windows are far from scenic!
7. The standard of decorating and finishing is poor. It looks like a bad DIY attempt. They have kept the original beams, but it was a little disconcerting that they'd removed all the supports. The outside decking area is also on stilts.
The photos on the website are VERY complimentary. If we had stayed longer, or if we'd paid more, I'd have been annoyed.
If you're just looking for a base and don't plan on spending much time there, it's fine. It's basic, but comfortable. The lounge area was spacious, which to be fair is probably the room you'd spend the most time in.
It definitely has potential.
