The Hide Out, Aldeburgh

• "Lovely, peaceful spot!"

  The Cottage is just what we needed for a few days away with 2 dogs. It is adequately equipped, but would benefit from some extra blankets in the second bedroom now the nights are getting colder. There was a fair bit of rain and storm Babet had just passed through - pity the lake has not filled up again. We enjoyed some sun most days and visited many local towns and villages as well as the sea.

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hide Out lodge."

  It was very peaceful, the lodge was clean and well maintained as well as being more than adequately supplied with kitchen itensils and amenities. A real home from home. We would definitely go there again.

• "The lodge was comfy the heat worked very efficiently plenty of hot water and pressure and everything we needed was provided."

  The broad band was poor and didn’t reach the main bedroom Outside I’m afraid calling the pond a lake was a stretch and from the comments left it hasn’t had water in it for a a few years. The outside table was shabby and two chairs were broken A new set of sofa and table were very nice but left at the back. However what let it down was the deck it was slippy and green and dirty. A couple of hours with a power washer would have improved our experience a hundred percent

  Sorry to hear the issues with the decking and chairs. Thanks for bringing up. I have been down this week and power washed and repainted the decking and bought a table and chairs replacement. It is unfortunate no one had let me know as I would have addressed sooner. Hopefully the rest of your stay was positive. Thanks Jane Property Owner

• "Had a lovely few days with great weather."

  The lodge was very comfortable and contained everything you would need. The decking area was nice and spacious and had very nice outdoor furniture, I particularly liked the hammock. I had to cut back a few bramble runners that were encroaching onto the decking though and some of the furniture had bird poo on it which had to be cleaned off, but for me that wasn't to much of a pain. The one big problem we had though, was getting in, we were putting in the code for the key and it would not open. It was about half an hour later that we found another key box around the corner attached to the front fence which worked. I think that could have been made more clear. The stay far outweighed the little niggles though.

• "We had a fabulous week in The Hide Out."

  Peaceful location and ideal to explore the local villages and nature reserves. Had it been wet the owners taste in DVDs and books would have kept me happy, all my favourites. The lodge so spacious and well equipped plus extras, ie dish washer tablets, soaps etc. The decking area was lovely, plenty of seating and hammock was fun but the wooden garden furniture was tired and seats were cracked, covers dirty. The lake had dried up, which was a shame, no one’s fault, gave it a neglected air but would return for the peace and quiet and location.

  Thanks for your comments. Just to update on the lake/pond. As a development we are currently procuring a contractor to put in a pond liner as the previous clay solution failed. Problem has been falling water table. Aiming to get the liner fitted over the winter period so fingers crossed for our lovely lake to be back for next spring. Thanks Jane Property Owner

• "On arrival we thought the outside of this particular property needed a little TLC."

  Access step’s & bannister rickety & in need of a repaint. Inside first impressions lovely & spacious, bedrooms fabulous. Facilities good but kettle & cutlery could do with replacing. Lounge curtains too long & bunched up on the floor, causing a trip hazard. The windows were not clean & tap in second bathroom was very stiff. I received the E-mail regarding “no water in the lake” the day we arrived so disappointed it was not as advertised. The site was not clearly marked on the entrance from the road (faded) & the long drive to the site was off putting. However our stay was comfortable & we had fabulous weather (loved the hammock) so enjoyed visiting places we had not been to before. We will use Sykes again of course but check information about properties thoroughly before booking.

• "Super cabin."

  Deceptively spacious with a lot of thought gone into providing everything you need. Appreciated welcome pack and basic necessities- Handwash, washing up liquid, toilet rolls etc. Was absolutely ideal as a base to explore Suffolk villages.

  Ideal area for sightseeing. Very comfortable chalet and roomy. We nanny, grandad, two grandchildren and two springer spaniels really enjoyed ourselves.
