1 Suffolk Cottage, Knodishall - Aldeburgh Coastal Cottages

No breakfast. Location was very good.

We had trouble getting cooker hob working would have been useful to have instructions for appliances. The Red Room was bit noisy as boiler in loft in that room.

Location perfect and quiet for us. Only slept there so can’t comment really on facilities

Tad sparse on kitchen mugs and glasses.

lovely property although plates didn’t fit in dishwasher

I would have expected to arrive to some heat in the house in mid November. We were called at 15.00 hrs to say the property was ready and we could go in early. When we arrived at 15.30 it was glacial inside. There were no instructions on how to deal with the heating or the times when it would come on. Called the agents and after two calls a maintenance man arrived. The heating had been turned off because of an issue in the adjoining property. He turned it on. We went out for five hours. Came back at 22.30 five hours later and still glacial. So had to spend a very cold night. Heating then came on in the morning and it was too hot. We had to move to another location. Seems there was a known problem. Why on earth was this property let in mid November with substandard heating. In addition no arrival welcome. Not even a teabag or pint of milk. Is that too expensive? Thoroughly miserable experience.

The little garden was useful - a nice place for my 4yo to play.

The place is looking a little tired - you have to hold a warped cabinet shut so you can open the fridge. There was an ant infestation when we arrived - they sent a maintenance man round but it was clearly a pre existing problem because there was ant killer under the sink. There was quite a lot of animal hair around the place - not as clean as we were expecting.
