Rooms were to die for, wonderful sizes and shapes with the exception of the main bathroom which was very small. Property was comfortable and a little quirky in places. Downsides, minor problem most of the downstairs doors would stay closed making it difficult to restrict my dog and the Games Room which my husband and son were looking forward to use was not only small (which we knew before visit) but did not have a single cue that they could use on the Pool table, one was totally snapped and the other had no tip so no use at all. Very disappointed with Games Room.

However, we reported it midmorning on the Monday, and a maintenance man was there the same afternoon - brilliant service! It's a lovely house, very near the beautifully clean beach at Pakefield. We'd certainly return in the future.

We could not find a vacuum cleaner to whizz around and only on the last evening discovered dustpan and brush to sweep up a bit. There seems to be a problem with the drains as the outside drain was always overflowing if we had showers and dishwasher on. The location of being near the sea good and all in all good. The house was well equipped and we enjoyed our stay. Michael Dixon
