  Arrived at Marsh View for a four night stay on 7th October, from the moment we arrived and was welcomed by the owner and her two delightful dogs. Our stay here has been relaxing and peaceful. With fantastic views overlooking the river and marshes. The property is in excellent order and well equipped with all mod cons. The welcoming hamper of basic food bread, milk eggs, cereal etc is a very nice touch. All little things to make you feel welcome. The property is Set well back from the main road into Aldeburgh with no traffic noise. For the energetic a must, is the walk from the premises to Snape Malting around 4 miles following a well marked footpath through woodland, heather and wonderful views over the countryside along the way. Arriving at Snape Malting and in need of refreshments and lunch this was taken at the Café 1885 on the first floor. We both ordered the sea food platter which was delicious an excellent choice. After lunch we strolled around the many retail outlets. All the staff we encountered here were very friendly and helpful. Time was approaching 16:30 walking back to March View was out of the question, which would mean returning in the dark. Phoned for a local taxi which arrived within 15 mins to take us back to March View. The next day was spent exploring Aldeburgh sea side town, a stroll along the beach with its many huts selling freshly caught fish. quaint houses and unusual shops. We stopped for lunch at the Lighthouse restaurant in the high street which had been highly recommended to us. The food and choice on offer are is excellent. Our four day break soon came to a end. However, I’m sure we will be back again soon to explore this part of the world again. Thank you for making us feel at home. We will return.

  The apartment was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The bed linen and towels were of a high quality and the apartment was very well equipped with everything you might need for the stay. It was in a very quiet location even though it was quite close to the main road into Aldeburgh. The views from the living room and bedroom were lovely and we were lucky that the weather was very nice so we took advantage of sitting in the beautiful front garden. The only negative is that the apartment is described as being within walking distance of Aldeburgh High Street. This is misleading as it is two miles along the busy Saxmundham Road with no footpath in places. This meant that we had to drive every evening into town to eat/drink which is not ideal if you have already been driving in the daytime. On the plus side there were several lovely walks close by to the apartment, in particular the Sailors Path which was only a hundred yards from the entrance to the property. We would definitely recommend Marsh View and hopefully will return next year.

  Equipment: TV-needs re-tuning to find BBC1 on main channel - eventually found it on a 900 channel; a pint glass for beers would be good; better hanging arrangements for clothes although room limitations noted. Otherwise well-equipped, thanks. Cleanliness: Utensils and oven trays had not been checked- greasy and not properly washed-up from previous use e.g. colander in drawer and baking sheet in oven; dusty surfaces with dead flies/spiders on floor and in corners would suggest that the property had not been used in previous week or two so should have had a further sweep round before our arrival. Thank you for welcome goods-much appreciated. Details of local walks available and up-to-date leaflets on visitor attractions would add value to the welcome. Although with the local wildlife to watch, who needs to leave the property?!

  The Green Shed is perfectly situated to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside along with all its abundant wildlife. The views from all of the windows are gorgeous. There was a wonderful, and very useful, welcome pack which meant we didn't have to dash to a shop. The Green Shed is excellently equipped and spotlessly clean and a lovely place to return to after a day out. It is an easy walk into Orford where the very well stocked general store has good opening hours. The owners of The Green Shed are really friendly. Not intrusive at all but there to chat to or if any questions or queries need answering. An absolutely excellent escape that is difficult to leave, we thoroughly recommend The Green Shed to anyone who likes peace, quiet, open country views and wildlife.

  A wonderful setting and so comfortable. A mini break because we had no summer holiday. We were not disappointed. Marsh View was excellent for my husband who has difficulty walking, as it is all on one level and parking is near the front door. The space and light within the property lifted our spirits ( as did the welcoming bottle of wine in the fridge!) The bathroom is spacious and pristine. We loved the colours and decor of the living area. We were able to have our Norfolk Terrier with us and he was surprised to meet Ronnie and Elsie who looked so much like him! Though an utterly rural setting Marsh View is only about a mile from Aldeburgh with its shopping outlets and restaurants.
