Guest Reviews

• Mohammed (9/5): -
• Kelly (10/5): -
• Jacqueline (6/5): It was adequate and we were glad we didn’t need to spend a lot of time there. - It was clean and spacious and the heater warmed the place quickly and quietly. It is called a B n B but the male owner(who didn’t give us his name) was reluctant to provide breakfast and recommended we use the pub. Also no cutlery or crockery were freely available but we were told to ask if we needed any. The towels were small but they were at least soft.
• Nigel (5/5): Convenient for a two night stay if no more than 2 people, because of shower. Good pub up the road (Angel pub) Village s - Suitable for a disabled (walking, as steps into property) Person. Milk in fridge was a nice touch. Bed uncomfortable. Duvet very thin. No extra blankets. Sofa uncomfortable. No crockery, apart from a couple of cups for tea. No plug in sink. No T towel. No washing up liquid. Would benefit from a microwave. Internet very slow. Hot water in shower didn’t last very long. Husband up at 4 am for a shower and I was up at ten o clock, giving the tank plenty of time to heat up. My shower went cold and not even half way through so couldn’t complete my shower. When my husband complained he was told it was a small water tank! We both shower every day but I could only strip wash on day of departure and let my husband have a hot shower. Could hear dog barking and people talking outside kitchen area, in morning.
• Mandy (8/5): Great for a short break - Lovely hosts. Lots of info and local knowledge
• Neil (8/5): A pleasant stay to explore Southwold, quiet accommodation with easy parking - Helpful host who let us check in a little early so that we could get to Southwold and explore before it got dark. There's a bus to Southwold too, but no return buses in the evening so book a taxi back in advance (no taxi ranks). Accommodation was what we needed. Some crockery and cutlery would be useful, as we bought some cereal to have for breakfast.
• Tim (10/5): - Friendly host
• Roger (8/5): Enjoyed exploring Suffolk - Did not have breakfast. Location OK Suggest the supply of a Microwave oven.
• Simon (8/5): Met our expectations. - The owners were very welcoming, the stay met with our expectation and the breakfast was very nice. Thank you.
• Duncan (10/5): Excellent stay. Would recommend! - Fabulous for a short stay. Lovely decor. Spotlessly clean. Super friendly hosts. Toaster and fridge provided but no plates or utensils which was confusing??
• ASIYA (9/5): -
• KATE (10/5): - Lovely hosts, great little place.
• Carolyn (10/5): A very comfortable and enjoyable stay! - Such a charming little chalet, so convenient for everything. Hosts very helpful, friendly and on hand for anything we needed. Some crockery and cutlery would be nice.
• Mr Neil (9/5): -
• Ian (9/5): Superb -
• Wright (10/5): Exceptional -
• Steve (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jenny (7/5): Good night sleep it enabled us to d what we wanted on Reydon thank youdo wa - Clean quiet and quirky No breakfast no plates cutlery etc
• Richard (8/5): Very good -
• Tracy (4/5): Disappointing -
• Cristina (10/5): Amazing host, lovely place, cosy and comfortable ! -
• Andrew (9/5): Superb -
• Helen (8/5): Long-distance walking event on nearby Suffolk cost - Very quick and efficient check-in and could check out when I liked. Private access and parking outside door. A bit cold when I arrived but I hadn't stated my estimated arrival time. The heading did its job.
• Jennifer (8/5): Very good -
• Marilyn (6/5): Adequate. - Adequate for one night. Quiet location. Breakfast was not included - my mistake I assume. The couple had to walk into the lounge for the bathroom where the third person was sleeping. I had phoned to check this was not so.
• Colin (9/5): Perfect - great little place, will return
• Samantha (8/5): Ideal for our reason to visit the area but wouldn’t stay if we were there for longer due to the lack of facilities and t - Perfect location, cleanliness was spot on and Stephen was very welcoming and cheery. For these points I would 100% recommend this accommodation. The double bed was very hard. Advertised as Bed & Breakfast but there were no facilities for breakfast, a toaster is provided but no crockery or cutlery, unfortunately we noticed this after going to the local shop and buying bread and butter etc for breakfast which we couldn’t use so had to throw away so I feel £100 (Booking.com price) for a bed for one night was a little extortionate. But as mentioned above cannot fault cleanliness, location or the warm welcome from the host.
• Taylor (10/5): perfect Thank You - Lark Rise was a perfect place to stay, lovely welcome, and the place exceeded our expectations... really clean comfy bed lovely shower.. and everything you needed. Also the local pub was really friendly and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend .. There is nothing not to like
• Donna (9/5): Very friendly helpful hosts. They were very helpful and let us in early when it was raining - It was a great place to stay. Comfortable clean and quiet. A few plates, cutlery and tea towel and washing up liquid would have been helpful as there was a kettle and toast but once we asked the owner dropped then in straight away. Just a minor thing, a few plates, cutlery and tea towel and washing up liquid would have been helpful as there was a kettle and toast but once we asked the owner dropped then in straight away.
• Carol (8/5): Very good - We arrived early as my pal had a mechanical issue on his bike. Our host Steve was very quick to offer assistance and actually took my friend and his bike off to a local bike repair shop once open the next dan and dropped him at a station to continue his journey. Many Thanks to both Steve and Tania for the kindness!!
• Judith (6/5): Very clean in lovely village - None taken Rough hard towels. No tea towel or cloth. Host never appeared to ask how things were No fan provided and couldn’t leave windows open because of mosquitoes. We had many bites at night
• Petru (6/5): Pleasant -
• Prigg (9/5): Superb -
• Amy (8/5): Great little place to stay for a night. Parking right outside the front door. So clean & very comfy. - We were seeking an affordable place to stay to visit family who were staying in Southwold for the bank holiday weekend. This place gave us a one night only option without the cost of paying for two seperate hotel rooms. It worked perfectly for us. Nothing to complain about!
• Rob (8/5): All good. nice people and the accommodation was everything I needed. - I didn't have a breakfast.
• Vanessa (7/5): Good - Clean and tidy To clean the room they rushed us out a bit rudely even though we were told we had no rush because no one booked the room after us but suddenly we were asked to leave
• Ward (7/5): Good - The accommodation was very nice clean and comfortable owners were nice We I book b&b i expect breakfast
• Terry (10/5): Exceptional - Great location for us, close to local shop and pub. No phone signal, but free WiFi
• Michiel (9/5): Superb - Hospitality, kindness, responsive.
• Richard (8/5): Very good -
• Johanna (4/5): Disappointing - It was close to where others from family were staying at the Plough. Ok for 1 night, but no more. IHaving spent our first night at The Plough, which was lovely, this place was a real disappointment. More expensive and without breakfast. The cost of breakfast was an extortionate £50 extra! I came with my son and felt a bit uncomfortable as though we were being watched.
• Anonymous (6/5): Pleasant - The property is a separate unit for the host’s home, which is great as you have your own space. It was comfortable and clean. The host’s were very pleasant and met us on arrival. The provisions are fairly basic - there was no cutlery or plates for instance. Perhaps more basic items could be provided.
• Katie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (10/5): Comfortable clean and relaxing. - The property was homely, high standards of cleanliness and In a safe village.
• George (1/5): Creeps - Owner woke us in the morning outside the door handing an invoice for an extra guest. Also blocked our car in until we paid it. CCTV Fitted outside clearly there to watch their guests and monitor. Psychos, defo would avoid this place. Also well not worth the money. £400 for a box that isn’t even comfortable
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matthew (10/5): lovely get away in heart of every location in suffolk. southworld walberwick and dunwich - location is in heart of everything. perfect had netflix amazon prime . and order favorite takeaway delevery.
• Anonymous (10/5): Great base, friendly hosts, excellent value - Spotless, everything you needed, great Wi-Fi, plenty of room Not the property, just lack of taxis in the area
• Niall (10/5): Exceptional -
• Loraine (9/5): Wonderful! - Space, access to nearby coast and villages. Lovely greeting and informal contact over the stay. Nothing. Will come again.
• John (9/5): Comfortable, pleasant, a great centre for nearby walks, eating and relaxing - Great location. Close to local shops and quickly into the countryside and the lovely Suffolk coast all good
• Steve (8/5): Very good -
• John (4/5): Avoid - bed comfortable when it finally warmed up restrictive check in hours 1600-2100. They agreed extension to 2200. Still very restrictive. No heating put on till we arrived at 2150 so we were cold in bed-there was only a summer duvet and had to wear jumpers over nightwear and leave heaters on in the night. Also this was a B&B supposedly but with no breakfast. Tea and coffee facilities only.
• Nadine (8/5): Very good -
• Julian (7/5): Good - Great stay, good base for Southwold. Nice pub down the road. Hosts very friendly. We would stay again for sure.
• John (9/5): Superb -
• Jenny (7/5): It was very clean, airy…good nights’ sleep..a great getaway. - It is convenient for sightseeing; away from the general melee of Southborne whilst being only a short drive/bus trip away. Within easy access to other places of interest. Light clean airy accommodation. Comfy bed. Good bathroom. My only criticism is that it lacked a microwave which would have made self catering a lot simpler as it already has a kettle, sink unit and fridge. Hosts very helpful and friendly. Beautiful area. Nothing to dislike😊
• Selous (9/5): Superb - The accommodation was spotlessly clean. Very comfortable and an ideal location for us. Slept so well and the owners very friendly. A couple of utensils like plates/cutlery would have been useful for our breakfast. Everything else was perfect.
• Yvonne (7/5): Good -
• Carol (7/5): Enjoyed our stay, and if ever in the area again would definitely stay at Lark Rise. - The accommodation was comfortable for the three of us, and we slept very well. The full English breakfast was fantastic - ample food and both Tanya and Steve were very helpful and their hospitality was great. We had travelled up from London for a wedding at Henham Park, and they provided us with local taxi numbers beforehand; however, we ended up monopolising the services of Neale (a friend of Steve?). Neale was great taking us to and bring us back from the wedding at nearly 1am in the morning.
• Tom (8/5): Very good -
• David (9/5): great meet & greet & friendly,would definitely recommend to friends & we will be back again - location,clean & tidy we liked everything
• Dave (9/5): Great spot for a cycle tour stopover. - Great location for us. Room was exactly as advertised (think it's a converted garage): clean, peaceful, and very reasonable price. Recommend eating at the Angel Inn just 50m up the road. Polite, pleasant hosts and would definitely stay again here if it was on the cycle route. Nothing.
• Deborah (7/5): Lovely couple of days. - Great if you want to access the surrounding countryside and coast. Lack of facilities to heat up food, microwave - hosts great but with child with us would have liked to be able to heat food for breakfast and snacks. Has toaster and kettle. Plates and cutlery on request from host. Would stay again but be prepared. better
• Timothy (9/5): Superb -
• Jenny (9/5): A very clean apartment with accommodating hosts. - Lovely to have lots of space in the apartment, with somewhere to sit and relax. It was very clean and comfortable. It was quite a firm bed. As there was a kitchenette it could have had some cutlery and plates.
