Sandlings

The property was extremely clean and well cared for .

Unfortunately the handbasin in the family bathroom needs a new selfseal plug because the water quickly seeped away , thus needing frequent topups !!! If you like to sit in the garden be aware that it faces north and so doesn't get much sun, which wasn't really an issue for us because the weather was unseasonably cold !!! The heating is very efficient , and we were very pleased that it was possible to override the timed setting because it was perishing cold sometimes There are some lovely footpaths and local walks, straight from the doorstep , which we thoroughly enjoyed exploring I found the bed in the ensuite too firm for my old bones so swapped with my daughter whose bed was slightly softer .She had no problem with it , but of course it's all down to personal preference The bedding was immaculate and I was particularly pleased that the duvets were not too heavy , only 4.5 tog I find the heavier ones too hot in spring and summer Overall a very good property and great value for the price

It was lovely to chat to Sally prior to our visit and hear her reassurance that the house would be warm and cosy and well appointed with all we would need.

The proof as always was in the pudding as they say- and I have to say Sandlings delivered in every respect. We would recommend it to one and all but would just ask that as it becomes more popular we will still be able to book another week maybe in the Autumn!!! We had a fabulous week. The weather was fine and warm and as ever the coastline and inland attractions delivered. Who needs to get on an aeroplane when we have such delights on our doorstep!

Sandlings was very comfortable and clean.

It was very well equipped and with our own parking space outside. Close to local pub and shop within 5 minute walk of each. I would not hesitate in recommending.

Second stay at this lovely accommodation.

Everything that we required was in place. Clean, comfortable and warm. Thank you.

This is a really well appointed town house on a very small, quiet development in the small village of Hollesley about 4 miles from Woodbridge with its Tidal Mill, historic buildings and independent shops and cafes.

Hollesley has a fascinating Church with amazing carvings on the pews (dating from 1952) and it’s worth visiting just to see those. Look for the feet! It’s an ideal base for exploring Suffolk and neighbouring parts of Essex and for walking. The Estuary’s are extremely attractive. Sutton Hoo is minutes away and there are several other NT properties worth visiting as is Snape Maltings. The accommodation is well equipped, warm and welcoming, with parking for 2 cars on the drive in front of the garage and additional on road parking if needed. The top floor bedroom, dressing area and ensuite are large and very pleasant. The two bedrooms on the first floor share a bathroom with a shower over the bath. Older or less agile clients would benefit from a handrail on the wall to assist them in and out. My reason for giving a score of 4 rather than 5 for comfort relates to the very noisy floor between the first and top floor. It was exceptionally creeky and although you could not hear voices or the television when on, you could hear every footstep and also the sound of water flowing when the shower was in use or the toilet flushed. I am aware that this is due to the build quality but as the friends on the top floor got up several times during the night it did disturb the sleep of those below. The door to the double bedroom on the first floor was poorly fitted so there was significant light intrusion when the landing light was on. People who are noise or light sensitive need to be aware of this as it did detract from what was otherwise an exceptional property. The owner was extremely helpful in making suggestions about where to eat in the area. There is a pub in the village which we didn’t go to but when passing noted that it isn’t open every day, or not out of season. There is a Morrisons which opens early and closes at 10pm a very short walk from the accommodation. Despite the issues I have mentioned this is well worth booking.

Flawless, everything you could possibly need there, immaculately presented, clean and very comfortable which meant we had a wonderful stay.

I know it sounds as though we have been set up; but the accommodation, the area and local facilities was lovely.

The only point, but not worth deducting a star was the lack of two point plugs for charging shavers and tooth brushes. The low rate for recommending Sykes is the difficulty in talking to them and the button pressing. There are only two choices, they need a 3rd option "Talk to a Customer Service person".

I think this is the best Sykes property we have stayed in so far.

The house was lovely, well maintained, spacious and comfortable. Everything you needed was there. I liked the location too, it was in a quiet residential area very well placed for the local shop and the pub.

Very comfortable and well appointed property.

Ideally situated for walks and bird watching. Morrison's Local and The Dog and Shepherd pub both within walking distance. We were staying during a heatwave and still managed to sleep well and be comfortable indoors.

Excellent place to stay and very comfortable.

Have no complaints what so ever. Thank you.

We loved our stay at Sandlings so much that two days after returning home we booked again for next year.

The house has virtually everything that you could wish for. The area was new to us, but we found lots of places we enjoyed and are looking forward to returning next year.

Very nice and comfortable property with plenty of walks across heath, woodland, farmland and coast.

This is the sixth time we have stayed here in three years, and we always find somewhere new to explore as well as returning to the old favourites!

We enjoyed the Sandlings very much, perfectly placed for the places we wanted to visit, friendly neighbours.

Everything in the house was lovely and comfortable, very well equipped didn't use everything though but well worth 10 out of 10.

Beautiful house, so warm and comfortable.

Super clean. Good beds and bedding, well equipped for all occasions. Good location, close to Woodbridge, the sea and Sutton Hoo. We spent a fabulous long weekend there.

We enjoyed our stay at Sandlings which we found to be well furnished, SO CLEAN and well maintained.

The owners have put a lot of thought into the property, we could not think of anything which they did not provide. Nice village, friendly people. We would happily return.

Beautiful house in a lovely peaceful setting.

Lovely countryside all around. Highly recommended.

Well equipped house - in a good location The house was clean, comfortable with plenty of hot water - home from home We enjoyed our stay - thank you

Beautiful property fabulous location for walks and scenery.

Close to beach . Peace and quiet. House is stunning .

It was nice to have all the necessities i.

e. hand soap, toilet rolls, binbags, all provided. Nicely furnished and comfortable. Handy to some great attractions: Sutton Hoo, Framlingham Castle, Orford Tower. We really enjoyed our stay.

On arrival the place was spotlessly clean and we couldn't find a single downside.

It is certainly very light and airy. There are 2 spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds and plenty of storage. The kitchen diner has plenty of pots, pans and kitchen gadgets to make a variety of meals. The lounge had comfortable sofas and a decent sized TV to relax with of an evening. There is a shop and a pub within walking distance. The town of Woodbridge, with its interesting collection of independent shops and its lovely Tide Mill, is only 15 minutes drive away. With in a reasonable driving distance are Sutton Hoo, Suffolk Punch Horses, Snape, Aldeburgh, Orford, Southwold, Bury St Edmunds plus many other places of interest. We really enjoyed our stay at Sandlings and would recommend it for a holiday.

We found the house comfortable.

The kitchen was well equipped. Nice spacious bedrooms. Where the house was situated it was quiet during the night. We enjoyed our stay. Drive was a little tight but manageable.

Another lovely week away at this excellent modern house.

Perfect location for exploring the beautiful Heaths and coastal villages of SE Suffolk. We particularly liked the local heathland walks and bird watching opportunities. Sutton Hoo is a short distance away and has a nice cafe, the Friday fish and chips from the local community centre truck were excellent and great value too. There is a private driveway big enough for two cars to be tucked away safely once you have decanted at the kerbside. Our third visit in a year, we highly recommend this very nice house

We had a great week at Sandlings.

The property is beautifully presented, very clean and has everything that you could need. One of the best properties we’ve stayed in. The owners have clearly thought carefully about the requirements of holidaymakers. A very well equipped kitchen and thoughtful provision for children. Great to have a parking place beside the house which we comfortably fitted our large SUV into. We would highly recommend this property.

The property itself was clean and comfortable.

However, if you drive a medium to large SUV, parking is a real pain due to the narrow width of the assigned parking space and the close proximity of cars parked by the owners of adjacent properties.

We very much Enjoyed our stay at ‘Sandlings’, it was clean, comfortable and well appointed.

The area is nice with plenty of pleasant walks -several of which were literally on the doorstep. The village has a handy food-store and pub close by. Further afield there are plenty of villages and coastline to explore.

Sandlings was perfect for a winter break, being very clean, comfortable and well appointed in a quiet area.

We appreciated all the walk/local area information which helped us plan some great walks and days out along the coast, by the rivers and across the heathland.

We enjoyed our stay in this spacious house It was spotlessly clean & well equipped We look forward to returning

Sandlings is in a lovely village and the nearby town of Woodbridge is good for most of your shopping.

The village has a shop and a pub that serves food.

We had a wonderful holiday at the Sandlings.

The house was well equipped with everything we needed for a week away. The property is modern and clean, with comfortable beds. Having never visited this part of the UK before we enjoyed visiting the local sights of Sutton Hoo, Aldebrough, Snape Maltings and Orford. The house is well situated for days out. We hope to return one day- thank you!

The house was very clean with everything you could need for a stay.

The location was perfect for touring Suffolk. I would definitely recommend this property for a Suffolk self catering holiday.

There was everything you would expect and more in the house.

Lots of leaflets with helpful information and routes for country walks etc. We had a great week.

There was no visitor book to be found.

Although the accommodation had plenty of leaflets etc. for local interest, we always rely a fair bit on what other people have written in the visitor book as they are more reliable than the brochures put out by the attractions themselves. We also like to leave recommendations of our own.

The property felt safe,very clean with clear instructions about bagging up bedding and towels on departure.

It was very well equipped with everything you would need to have a care free holiday.

We had a fabulous holiday!

The house had literally everything you need and it was all of a high quality. It wS very spacious and clean! The owners were very helpful giving us ideas on where we could eat out and lovely places to visit! They were also easy to contact when we had difficulty with wifi and the problem was sorted out very quickly!

* spacious accommodation * well maintained * very clean * good for walks - plenty of guided walks are available at the property to use * local pub very friendly and welcoming We enjoyed a lovely, relaxing week at Sandlings

House was perfect for our needs, and exactly as expected from the listing.

The property was very well equipped.

It was in a very good location for country and coastal walks. There was plenty of information about the local area. Os maps were provided which were useful.

Excellent house with everything you need.

Easy access to sea and local towns. Quiet and peaceful location with lots of accessible walks

Sandlings is the best accommodation we've had so far!

It felt less of a holiday property and more of a home. The accommodation was in very good decorative order with a 'seaside' feel, but with a Christmas booking the proprietors even provided a decorated Christmas tree! The whole property was spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed throughout. Definitely worth further visits.

Lovely, warm home in a peaceful location.

Spotlessly clean and very well equipped throughout. Spacious accommodation for six adults. Very good pub,with food, The Shepherd and Dog a few minutes walk away and great village shop, complete with Post Office, a short stroll in the other direction. A great spot for exploring East Suffolk. Would definitely recommend.

Sandlings is a warm, comfortable and very well equipped modern property providing an excellent base for our week in East Suffolk in early November.

Bike storage was an added bonus. The village of Hollesley has an excellent pub, about 200 metres from the property, that opens every day,serving good food at very reasonable prices from Wednesday through to Sunday lunchtime. The village shop met all of our basic needs. Fresh eggs and vegetables are available locally using an honesty box system. If we return to the area in the future, we will have no hesitation in trying to book this property.

The house was a delight - basically we wanted to live there!

Clean, spacious, well designed and everything we needed was there. Also really friendly and useful phone call beforehand with the owners. When we got there, we could not find the WiFi password. Duh! It was written on the only page of the comprehensive booklet that we did not read! But a phone call sorted that out in a few minutes. Local shop was good, local pub served good food, and a nice part of the country. Good holiday.

Superb accommodation.

Couldn't find a fault.

Just had a week holiday with the family and found this property to be ideally situated for a base to explore the area.

The property was very well equipped and had information & walks of the area, games, DVD’s if needed, BBQ in the garage. There is the Shepherd and Dog public house just round the corner that was very friendly and serves meals. Would definitely recommend this property as a good base.

Sandlings is a lovely modern 3 storey town house set in a peaceful village.

The local shop has long opening hours and a good selection of items and the pub are both only 2 minutes walk. Hollesley is set next to a large area of common ground, gorse heath and woodland with many trails to explore for the walker, cyclist and horse rider. There is a real sense of community in the village, from the community garden to the warm welcome at the pub and shop and friendly neighbours. The house has generously sized bedrooms and bathrooms and a private little rear garden. It's very well equipped and has a toilet on every level. The kitchen and lounge may be a little cosy for a party of six but was certainly spacious enough for our party of 3. There is private off road parking for two cars and the village is set on a picturesque peninsula with the nearby shingle beach of Shingle Street, sleepy villages and a mixed sand/shingle beach at Bawdsey. The nearby town of Woodbridge is a lovely mix of independent shops in a historic high street and the odd, more upmarket chain. Plenty to see and discover at a pace to suit yourself. We had no issues with WiFi at all.

Sandlings was very homely with all the facilities that we needed for a week's stay.

It was extremely clean with lots of extra seaside themed touches which made it feel like a holiday home. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms had lots of storage. There were plenty of towels and the kitchen was well equipped. Located in a small village, it was just a short walk to the village shop which was well stocked and the local pup (essential to book for a Friday evening). We were glad that we followed the information about the 'Fish and Chip Van' which calls at the local recreation ground on a Friday evening - generous portions and tasty. We made use of the garden which was quiet. There was a short power cut after which the WiFi failed to come back on. This wasn't too much of a problem as it meant our teenagers had to talk to us and play games in the evening! Lots of lovely places to visit locally including Woodbridge, Sutton Hoo, Southwold and Aldeburgh. We were lucky enough to visit Aldeburgh for Carnival including the lantern parade and fireworks in the evening. Thank you for the tea, coffee, milk and biscuits on arrival.

The main issue was that the wifi in the house did not work at all, this made it especially hard as we spent most of the weekend unable to even get a signal on our phones.

2 people in our group rely heavily on the internet due to the nature of their businesses so this did hinder some of the work that they could do at the house. I did feel it would be better to say on the listing that whilst wifi is available, it is very temperamental to make those that need access to the internet aware that there could be some issues. However, there were many more positives that far outweighed the lack of wifi. There weren't enough towels in the house for all of us so we contacted the home owner and they sent round fresh towels very quickly, the kitchen had everything that we needed, the house was clean (although there were a few spiders around) and the garden was big enough for what we needed and well kept. The only drawback was that it was quite a way from all the main shops, having said that, I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to come and stay in the area and would definitely go back.

This property was as described and as always with Sykes Cottages of first quality.

Many thanks again for an excellent product we will return again to your website for future holiday ideas. D.

Do not usually stay in a new build but, was very surprised how quiet and well situated this property was.

The village was nice the surrounding countryside outstanding. The property was very spacious too. The kitchen was equipped with everything I needed and it was all of very good quality. Even in the hottest weather on record, opening the back and front doors brought a fantastic breeze through that kept us all comfortable. The owners left us tea coffee and a pint of milk for drinks when we got in. Absolutely no complaints.

Superb house offering home from home comforts.

Ideal position for walking and cycling. Lots of places to visit and great restaurants In the area.

Property was clean,well furnished and well equipped.

Everything was in place.Pre visit information was clear and accurate.Village had what we needed,pub,shop etc.A very nice property and ,despite the weather,provided us with an excellent basis for a good holiday break.

This was our first ever booking with Skyes cottages and we will definitely be booking again.

We all felt very relaxed and at home... one of our children are disabled but even he felt comfortable which is an unusual experience for him when he goes away! We were left some milk, tea and coffee on arrival which was great after 4 hours driving!

A lovely house with a real holiday theme running through it so you felt you were on holiday as soon as you walked through the door.

So much to see and do in the area and lots of country pubs serving good food. Could not fault it would definitely book again.

Lovely house with everything we needed.

Like home from home
