Skimming Stones, Aldeburgh

6 Customer Reviews

• "Skimming Stones is a large apartment in a great location, very close to the High Street at the South end of Aldeburgh."

  Being on the ground floor in a built up area, it doesn't have views from any of the rooms. The beds were comfortable and the living/dining room was good. The bathrooms were great and there was plenty of hot water. The underfloor heating (in December/January) was hopeless, so we had to use the fan heater if we wanted to warm a room. The lighting was strange in that there are plenty of lights in the lounge/dining/kitchen but many of them barely give off a glow. I think they must be old low energy bulbs nearing the end of their life. It is a reasonable property, but there are much better places in Aldeburgh if you book well in advance.

• "Lovely comfortable and well kept ground floor flat very near sea front and high street."

  Perfect four night stay for four sisters. Good restaurant five minutes walk away on sea front. Parking space very tight but plenty of on street space available.

• "This was our fourth time in Skimming Stones, it suits us as it is all on one level, there is secure parking and it’s really handy for the town, walks along the front and all it’s amenities."

  We’ve used Best of Suffolk so many times I can’t remember, so I think it speaks for its self! Website is brilliant, we had an issue with the dishwasher whilst we were there this time and it was dealt with in know time.

• "Enjoyed our two week stay very much indeed."

  Plenty of space and very comfortable beds. We had a couple of issues - (1) with a shower door in the main bathroom and (2) with the handle on the door to the ensuite bathroom and were impressed as both were fixed the day after the problems were reported to Best of Suffolk. However, we couldn’t understand why the owners hadn’t replaced a hanging wardrobe which had a missing top rail so couldn’t be used as expected. We did inform Best of Suffolk and hopefully it will be replaced. Pat

• "Nicely furnished, comfortable apartment in an ideal location for both beach and town and would not hesitate to recommend."

  Would have been nice to have a few more basics provided though ie bath mats, tea towels, soap, condiments, spare loo rolls etc. and, as a group of 4 adults, could have done with a bit more crockery and cutlery. Overall though, very good.

• "Generally the property was really nice and in a great location just off the High Street."

  We had a few issues, with the heating not working and the dishwasher breaking. The main being the heating; however I cannot fault how quickly Best of Suffolk jumped on this and got it resolved for us. The property owners were also very apologetic which we appreciated.

  Thank you for your feedback. It is great to hear that you enjoyed your holiday at Skimming Stones and its prime location between Aldeburgh High Street and the beach. Our apologies for the issues that occurred, but we are pleased that our team are always on hand to deal with these things swiftly and effectively. We hope to welcome you back to Skimming Stones and Best of Suffolk again in the future. Property Owner
