  • "We loved staying here."

    We’ve been coming to Aldeburgh for 10 years but decided to try this property and it didn’t disappoint. It was well equipped, functional and comfortable. I think the garden could do with a bit more comfort, maybe an outdoor sofa, fire pit and some shrubs but I can see the owners are planning a refurb for the garden in the new year. Overall though a beautiful property that has clearly been thought through with visitors experience and comfort in mind.

  • "Excellent property."

    .. we used as a base to explore our first visit to Suffolk. Fit out was great with all the cooking utensils needed to feed a hungry family for a week.

  • "The garden was a huge let down compared to the photos."

    The accommodation was excellent with safe parking facilities.

  • "We loved our stay in the property but as previous visitors have pointed out, there is only really enough comfy seating for 4 people and we had to bring in 2 of the garden chairs each night."

    The actual downside of this property is the outlook to the rear...if we had looked more closely at the advertising photos, we would have noticed the large college buildings that over power the view above the six foot fences. Also, some landscaping within the garden area wouldn't go a miss rather than it looking like a bland boring garden which it is.

  • "Great accommodation & beautifully turned out."

    Beds wonderfully comfy. Location is good for getting to places along the Suffolk coast; Leiston itself is a working town and not as picturesque as the surroundings....but we were fine with this and thought the area stunning. As a group of 6 who like to cook, we did find the lack of saucepans (of a decent size) and no large glass pyrex dishes a little frustrating. However, we loved staying at the property.....and came home super relaxed.

  • "Everything was perfect, but if anything could be better, it would be the amount of comfortable seating in the lounge."

    As a party of 5 adults, we had to bring one of the garden chairs in so we could all have a comfortable seat in the evening; it wasn't possible to get everyone on the existing sofas and be able to relax. Also, it may be worth letting guests know that the hot water leaves a greasy feeling on the skin (we assumed it was some sort of water softening treatment), but this is different to what we are used to in the Midlands and I imagine other regions too. Other than these two points, everything else was lovely. The house was really well equipped spotlessly clean and the information left was really helpful. The welcome pack was lovely too, thank you.

    The cottage is very well presented and has high quality fixtures and fittings. Everything has been thought of to make a holiday comfortable and special. From the towels to linen the standard is very good and I he jar of dog treats a lovely touch. We would certainly stay there again

  • "We enjoyed a very comfortable weekend at 7 Old Grammar School."

    The property was spotlessly clean, beautifully warm and well equipped with quality bedlinen, large fluffy towels, fragrant soaps/shampoo and plenty of nice glasses/crockery. A generous welcome pack awaited us too. I would certainly recommend this property and its quiet location. Easy parking, a large Co-Op down the road and Leiston is centrally placed for visiting Aldeburgh, Walberswick, Southwold and all the lovely places around the area.

    The location of the property was extremely disappointing, no sense of being in Suffolk.

    Very comfortable and thf welcome pack and toiletries was a nice touch . We have an electric car and may be worth mentioning that there is ev charger 50m away as that is a real bonus for an electric car owner. Very dog friendly- we had a great time.

About the location

LEISTON

Aldringham 1 mile; Thorpeness 3 miles; Aldeburgh 4 miles.

Leiston is located in the heart of the Suffolk Heritage Coast and offers excellent links to the popular seaside towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh. The town thrived by manufacturing steam tractors, and cast and machined metal products, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The town is now home to many of the workers of the nearby power plant, Sizewell, and is served well by an active leisure centre and the oldest purpose-built cinema in Suffolk, which today offers the latest digital 3D projection systems! The 14th century remains of Leiston Abbey lie northwest of the town and its high street has a good range of shops, banks, pubs, restaurants and takeaways, plus a Post Office and a library. RSPB Minsmere is a short drive away towards the coastline of the Suffolk Heritage Coast, which offers lovely walking opportunities through this designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Note: If you wish to bring a dog it must be mentioned at the time of booking. Note: The property next door is still under refurbishment, therefore some construction noise can be heard. Note: Sorry no unaccompanied teenagers. Note: If you wish the super-king-size to be made up as a twin please let us know
