Guests say
Sunrise House in Lowestoft offers a welcoming stay with its lovely decoration and proximity to the beach.

The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and some guests enjoyed the Nespresso machine. While some areas are undergoing renovation, the house's charm and roominess are noted.

The location is consistently praised for its proximity to the beach and town, with secure parking and a clean local beach.
Mixed feedback on comfort, with some guests finding the beds and sofas uncomfortable, while others had a comfortable stay. The presence of a games room and a relaxing lounge are positives.
Facilities are adequate with a well-equipped kitchen and dining area, but there are reports of insufficient cutlery and issues with the games room. Some minor maintenance issues are also mentioned.
While guests mention thoughtful touches like a Nespresso coffee machine and the provision of dishwasher tablets, there is no consistent mention of gifts, and thus it cannot be guaranteed.

It had everything we needed with enough utensils and plates in the kitchen. The coffee machine with pods was a lovely touch as well as dishwasher tablets. The location was excellent and had plenty of parking available even with roadworks taking place directly outside the property. The only negative was that we were unable to use the games room due to broken cues. This was very disappointing for the children with us.

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.
