  • "This accommodation was outstanding."

    The owners live on the adjoining property and were very friendly. Everything that could possibly be needed was provided. There was a 'welcome' pack in the fridge and also fresh fruit in a bowl. The bed and furniture was extremely comfortable. The garden was lovely. We hope to return again. Denise & Jeff

  • "West End. We found the apartment easily."

    There is a signposted parking space on the drive. A new build, it is very nicely appointed with a fully equipped built-in kitchen, en-suite living area, dining table and a very comfortable bed. Everything is tastefully decorated and fresh. We felt at home immediately with places to hang our clothes properly. It seems the hosts, who are very welcoming and helpful, have thought of everything, obviously travellers themselves. After a cup of tea, we sat in the garden on arrival with a complimentary drink. The welcome pack and information folder is very comprehensive and has all you need. Wi-Fi was faster than home at 47Mbps, great! Over the next days we explored Woodbridge, Ipswich, Sutton Hoo and the coast. The two pubs on the main road, left and right walkable and good value and efficient. What a Birthday treat to stay at West End! Highly recommended.

  • "We visited "West End" for 3 nights in July."

    According to the owner, the place has only been open to guests in the past three months. Although it's clean and quiet, it's really disappointing to find that it wasn't finished. The skylight (two windows) didn't have blinds apparently they're coming soon. (No good to us though). A tarpaulin type cover was in place, which blew around in the night, which sounded like someone moving things around outside, and let significant light in as it wasn't very dense. Chain fell off another blind and both were rectified the next day. Even with "black out" blinds, the large room has eight windows (including doors, skylight), it is bright. If you like a dark room beware. Sadly the owner who we made every effort to engage positively with, didn't seem to accept positive criticism to improve things. He literally rolled his eyes when I mentioned the bright WiFi light directly above the bed and said someone else "moaned" about a light on the microwave. As someone who visits many similar places, it's always nice to offer feedback to the owner, but walked away feeling angry, that was disrespectful to me whilst trying to help. Perhaps a customer service course would help ?

  • "A lovely place to stay and the hosts Mel and Julia were really helpful."

    It was so peaceful and quiet and we really enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels in the garden. Mel was really helpful and informative about the local walks, which we really enjoyed exploring the Suffolk countryside, and about the local facilities - The Red Lion pub for eating, Sutton Hoo, etc. The only drawback was the early morning light from the kitchen skylights, hopefully that is being addressed. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  • "A very spacious and comfortable studio, a cut above the rest."

    So many extras and the owners are very helpful. We didn’t find any problems with the roof lights as exterior shading has been put in place until the interior blinds arrive. We would highly recommend this property, a quiet location but near to coast and country side.

    Great communication from the owners, who were available if we needed anything, but didn't disturb our privacy. The property was very clean and beautifully furnished, with everything we could possibly need - very comfortable and peaceful. It was lovely to sit outside in the mature garden, listening to the birds at the start and end of each day. Would definitely recommend!

  • "We stayed at this property for 4 nights."

    It had everything you could need and was beautifully furnished and clean. The owners were really friendly and very helpful, but not intrusive. The only little niggle and it is a very little niggle, would be if there were blinds on the roof windows in the kitchen area as, because of the time of year, we were woken by daylight from 5.30am, but I think the owners are going to address this. Would highly recommend this property.

MARTLESHAM VILLAGE

Woodbridge 3 miles; Felixstowe 10 miles

This old village, which dates back to Roman times, sits on the fringes of the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just 10 miles from the coast. It is often referred to as 'Old Martlesham' to distinguish it from the newer neighbouring village of Martlesham Heath which is just 40 years old. Martlesham Village is a fantastic base for a cottage holiday, it provides you with the essential amenities in a Post Office Store, two pubs, one of which dates back to the 1500's, and a fish and chip shop. The village is also home to Martlesham Creek, popular for sailing as it flows into the River Deben and down to the coast. If you would rather drive to the coast, visit Felixstowe just 10 miles away, it boasts a wide range of amenities along with a stunning beach with an amusement arcade. Slightly closer is Suffolk's county town, Ipswich, it proves itself to be a great day out with its shopping centre, cinema and series of parks.

Note: This property can only accommodate a maximum of two adults and an infant.
