  • "Great location."

    Clean and modern. Perfect size for us. Well equipped with lots of cooking utensils. We would have appreciated a coffee cafetière. Perhaps there could be one for next year (we’ve already booked 2025 stay). It really is a super house. We all enjoyed our stay..

  • "This is the nicest place we have stayed over our many years of coming to Southwold!"

    It had everything we needed, and was spotlessly clean. It was so lovely to have three ensuite bathrooms as well.

  • "Cannot do better than say that it’s our fifth time here and we have already booked for 2025."

    Perfect for a family holiday.

  • "A lack of instructions for tv, microwave, heating."

    We didn’t use gas hob as horrified at having to light it with ‘wand’ as in my grandmother’s house. The water softening process left scum in any hot drinks so we reverted to cold drinks. The tv aerial and cables to three attachments were reconfigured to allow access to BBC channels after three visits by various ‘staff’. This took four days. We stripped the bed when we left and wished we hadn’t as the mattress was stained and bobbled. We’re not sure whether the owners are reluctant to correct issues/spend money or this standard is considered acceptable by Sykes and Best of Suffolk.

    We are sorry that you struggled with the TV, Microwave and Heating. We do have an Appliances file in the property, which has all necessary instructions to use these. This is kept in the Utility Room. The gas hob is a regular hob, that has auto ignition – so you do not need to use a wand to light this. The water softener is separate from the drinking water. Unfortunately, Suffolk is a hard water area and sometimes this can lead to a few marks – which is outside of our control. We do regularly descale the kettle. We appreciate that the TV did go wrong (the first time in several years of holiday letting) and thank you for your patience in this matter that has now been resolved. Regarding the bed, we will investigate further. However, we do check all bedding on a regular basis to make sure that it is up to our high standard. We are always willing to fix issues (as demonstrated by getting the TV fixed as quickly as possible during your stay) and wish for guests to have a fantastic stay - as you can see is usually the case from the other 5* feedback left.

  • "Crabapple Cottage gave us the wonderful break that we needed."

    Its close proximity to the pier, sea and high street meant that we were able to walk everywhere that we needed too. The house its self is probably one of the best equipped that we have stayed in. Everything we needed had been thought about. Beautifully decorated throughout. Super comfy beds, decent sized towels, all clean and tidy, meant that we didn’t really have to worry about anything.

  • "Crabapple Cottage is a lovely house, warm and comfortable, well presented and with everything provided that you could possibly want, and in sufficient quantities."

    Its also in a very convenient position for the Pier/Beach and shops at Southwold. We had trouble getting in once and the speed of local response was excellent over a B/H weeklend. I think the deadlock button partially drops down inadvertently, preventing operation of the Yale lock. Leaving the inside key out of the patio door lock does enable access from the rear as a contingency. There are a couple of minor issues for the maintenance team: The Oven bulb has gone The under basin cabinet handle in the shower room of the master bedroom pulls away on the LHS and needs a more effective screw Ian & Lone

  • "Lovely property in a great location."

    The owners really have tried to cater to all your needs. Personally I would like a dressing table with a mirror to sit and dry and style my hair. Also felt the size of the living area would benefit from a larger tv. That said, didn't detract from our stay. Would definitely return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you for a great stay.

    The house is so relaxing and space has been thought out so well. Lovely to have our own bathrooms. We are old school friends and have been many places for breaks together, but crabapple has spoilt us and hard to find anything so good. So easy positioned for all facilities in Southwold.
