“Very much enjoyed the beach hut.”

Mrs Keenoy kindly came round and showed me how to unlock it. I am missing the sound and sight of the sea already.

“Very helpful owner.”

The house was everything we could have wanted, and the beach hut was amazing.

“We found Glenwood to be very clean and comfortable .”

The three bedrooms are spacious and airy . The shower room and toilet , was again spacious and airy. Downstairs the dining room and lounge area were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you require to store and prepare food . The patio area is very private , and if you have a dog there is an enclosed garden keeping them safe . The driveway is useful but be careful when driving onto it as there is a slope and you can catch your under carriage. The extra bit is definitely the beach hut . Well equipped with furniture it is great to use on a hot or rainy day . Nearby , about a five minute walk , there is a Co Op , Nisa , Fish and Chip shop, Indian and Chinese Takeaway We would throughly this cottage to others.

“Had not visited Suffolk before and we had a lovely week at Glenwood in Pakefield.”

House was spotlessly clean and very well kept, furnishings were all to a high standard and the finishing touches made it feel a real home from home. The kitchen also had everything you could want. Literally a couple of minutes walk to the beach which we visited daily, and lots of lovely walks within easy reach. Would recommend the walk at Carlton Marshes to Oulton Broad and from Oulton Broad to Beccles. Lovely beach hut available to use. Owner was very friendly and helpful and you can tell really cares about her property. Thank you for all your help, the wine and flowers which are a lovely thought, you certainly have a beautiful home.

“A stones throw from the beach this cottage is perfect for families and couples with dogs.”

The flowers and wine were a lovely touch on arriving at the property. The welcome folder could do with being up dated and it would have been good to have information about how to access the beach hut.(phone numbers or a key provided) whilst we can all use our phones an technology information provided in a folder or magazines about the area are always useful.

- Mrs Wood, October 2020

Thank you for your lovely comments and glad to see that you enjoyed your stay. I would like to assure yourself and our future guests that we do provide the keys for the beach hut on request on arrival. Due to the current covid guidelines, I am afraid I have removed the magazines from the property for the safety of my guests. Property Owner

“We knew what to expect as this is our second visit to the property.”

We will definitely be booking this property again.

Mr Chafer September 2020

“A cosy well kept cottage which is in an ideal location for all the facilities that Pakefield provides.”

The easy access to the beach and the provision of a beach hut means you have everything you need to have an enjoyable seaside holiday.

- Mr Chafer, September 2020
Mr Stickley September 2020

“Glenwood is a lovely comfortable and spotlessly clean cottage.”

It is perfectly situated a couple of minutes walk from the dog friendly beach and walks from the doorstep without using the car. The beach hut is perfect for spending time by the beach watching the world go by.

Mr Key August 2020

“We only had TV on the Sunday evening, and that after a visit by an engineer.”

It then transpired there was a fault in the aerial wiring. The proprietor was most concerned, brought in a radio in case that would help. We understand there will be a makeover this winter, with a replacement sofa, and hopefully windbreak extensions on the beach hut. We have already booked the last two weeks in June 2021, which shows we are happy with the house, the location, and especially the beach hut - in fact, the main reason we chose this property in the first place. If it were not for the beach hut, we would not have been interested.

- Mr Key, August 2020

We are sorry to hear that there was a fault with the TV but would like to assure yourself and our future guests that this matter has been rectified. We are glad to see you enjoyed your stay and will look forward to welcoming you next year! Property Owner
Mrs Swinckels August 2020

“Glenwood is a fantastic property, well-equipped and so close to the beach.”

The owner was very helpful and accommodating . Pakefield is a great location for a holiday, a choice of great places to eat out all in easy walking distance, with Lowestoft , Oulton Broad and other attractions a short drive away. Everyone we met was so friendly. We had a wonderful family holiday here.

- Mrs Swinckels, August 2020
Mrs Mitchell July 2020

“Lovely cottage.”

We've stayed in many over the years but this has to be one of the cleanest and most comfortable. Really a home from home. Great that it has an added bonus of using the owners beach hut!

Mrs Trulock November 2019

“The cottage (more a house!”

) was absolutely lovely with everything we needed and more. Beautifully and tastefully furnished with quality fixtures, fittings and decoration. Plenty of space for a family and nice enclosed sun-trap garden. We also made good use of the beach hut which was also very well kitted out. The owner, Pauline, was really nice and helpful. The beach was 5 minutes walk away, past the nice and friendly Oddfellows pub on the way! We will return next year as it was perfect for us.

- Mrs Trulock, November 2019
Mrs Wilson October 2019

“The cottage was as good as the pictures clean tidy and close to a all year round dog friendly beach”

- Mrs Wilson, October 2019
Mrs Hayes September 2019

“We couldn't get the central heating system to work one day, but we phoned the owner who came round almost immediately and found the control's for us.”

It was a lovely cottage and only a few minutes walk away from the beach and gave us a good few days peace and quiet

- Mrs Hayes, September 2019
Mrs Terry August 2019

“Lovely house in a nice area and only a 5 minute walk to the beach.”

We used the owners lovely beach hut too.

- Mrs Terry, August 2019
Mr Dawson August 2019

“Glenwood was a great place from which to explore Suffolk and Norfolk for the first time.”

The house is comfortably furnished and there was everything our family of four (+ dog) could want, including an enclosed garden. The bottles of wine were very welcome. Pakefield itself is a quiet area, excellent for early morning or evening strolls on the beach with the dog. Good pubs nearby with a wide selection of local ales. The food at the Oddfellows (100yds away) was excellent. Eating fish and chips from the local Fish and Chip shop while looking out over the beach on an evening was a treat. Trips out included Wells Next The Sea, Southwold, Aldeburgh, Beccles and a day on the Broads from Potter Heigham. Watching the powerboat racing on Thursday evening was great. We can thoroughly recommend Glenwood and this area of East Anglia.
