    A modern stylish townhouse with great sea views at a reasonable price.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Three-Bedroom Townhouse facing the Sea

    Minor point is the squeaky doors. An extra shelf in the oven would have been great!

    I liked that the house was clean, and that the check out time was 11 o'clock and therefore not at all stressful to vacate on time. The welcome treats left on the kitchen table on our arrival were very much appreciated. Great sea views from the front of the property. Master bedroom had a very stylish walk-in shower. Beds very comfy.

    There were no serious negatives but visitors should know about a little noise from the port during the night (but only if that would be an issue for them).

    The house was immaculately clean and very well stocked.

    Couldn't fault the property at all.

    The accommodation was excellent. Had all the facilities required for a comfortable stay. Rooms were spacious and clean with a good view of the sea. A half hour drive away from Alton Waters were we did kayaking and cycling. Would definitely recommend to others.

    No pizza trays, no bathmats. Bed was to soft for myself but everyone else loved them.

    Brilliant location. Toilet on each floor. Views lovely from the front of the house. Had almost everything that was needed for our stay. Great to have a dish washer and a washing machine.

    The Host Was Very Good Dealing With My One Complaint - My Family Still Enjoyed The Time Away!

    Amazing Sea Views! Easy Access To Beach! Clean & Cosy Town House! Free Off Street Parking! Nice Clean Bathrooms! 3 Toilets! Very Comfy Beds & Furniture! Complimentary welcome basket. Lovely garden space with astro turf and no pets and no smoking! Clear instructions for everything from directions to wifi settings! Lots of space with games, books and movies to watch but we spent most time out of the property. Ideal place to get away for a few days as it has everything you need for that 'need a break' feeling!

    Sea views to die for!
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Three-Bedroom Townhouse facing the Sea
    • Stayed 5 nights

    - The dining table and chairs filled the kitchen area. With 5 of us sitting there was barely room for one to get things out of cupboards or oven without bumping into chairs at the back - We entered from the back after parking our car. The entrance was a bit disappointing, two very sad and dead dried up plant pots, artificial grass and balcony furniture that is very dated. Back entrance needs TLC - Cleanliness was good, but some attention to detail could have made it better (upstairs bathroom had some mould, the juliet balcony railing were very dusty and full of cobwebs) - The plates and mugs felt randomly put together. Not enough mugs for the 5 of us as we are big on tea and coffee drinking!

    - Great location - nothing can beat those sea views! So close to everything too and that promenade walk was so lovely - Good bedrooms, comfy beds, plenty of storage and finally someplace that actually had enough hangers for us all! - Good decorative order throughout the inside of the property - Good wifi - Good selection of DVDs and indoor board games to keep kids entertained - Good kitchen appliances (toaster, kettle, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine) - Good communication with host before and during trip - Easy parking - Good recommendations by host - Landguard fort was great, nature reserve was lovely, Ruby's cafe was yum, the sea front gardens were nice, the kids loved the arcade, the Orwell river boat trip was lovely and Colchester zoo was amazing - Nice little touches by the hosts/ managers which we noticed - little shampoo and shower gels, hand soap and toilet rolls, foil, salt, pepper, other basics including tea and lavazza coffee, the sea themed paintings everywhere were very apt - Nice things we discovered very nearby - the "kitchen" has lovely food, cakes and coffee, the Waffle Shack on beach street is amazing as is the vegan restaurant and the smoke house

    Balcony furniture was tired and only for 2 people.

    We didn’t eat the breakfast. The closeness to a superb beach, the exceptional cleanliness and facilities offered ensured we had a great holiday.

    There were 14 adult-sized knives in the drawer but only 3 adult forks! Bulb had gone in one bedside lamp, had to take one out of dining room lamp. My grand-daughter found a beer bottle filled with cigarette ends under the decking

    Lovely comfy beds for all of us. Location brilliant for children

    The house really is a lovely holiday home so cant think of many improvements. Maybe just another set of keys would have been useful so as a family we could have gone out independently.

    Great clean and homely house with fabulous sea views. Beds are really comfortable and the house is equipped with everything you need. The communication from both the Owner and the Cleaning Manager were excellent and the Cleaning Manager even made a special trip to drop over some coffee pods to us when we were unable to source them in Felixstowe
