The house is in a great location and has the potential to provide a great holiday. However a lot needs to be done to bring it up to the standard that appears to be shown on the website and what you would therefore expect, the garden in particular being sadly neglected and the overgrown bushes around the front door providing quite a test to get throRead moreugh them. We did have a very enjoyable family holiday as the overall facilities in the house are all you would want but a fair amount of TLC is needed to bring them to the standard they ought to be at. In the garden some of the play equipment should not be used and a lot of weeding is required Hide

Cottage was fantastic. Lots of space and very comfortable. Really well stocked kitchen as well and lovely garden. We are looking to book again for next year, so I guess that shows you what we thought of the accommodation!

It was absolutely fabulous. My three year old granddaughter ran out into the garden shouting This is the best garden ever! A beautiful home that made us feel special but comfortable in our surroundings. Kitchen was Vera well equipped. The duplo and childrens games went down very well.

Fairhaven is a beautiful traditional house with a large open garden in a wonderful location in Walberswick. The property was peaceful, comfortable and well equipped. The furnishings may need a little updating and some of the facilities a little upgrade but Fairhaven is a genteel place and Walberswick is absolutely delightful.

Lovely spacious house and garden for a family group of mixed ages. We were lucky with the weather and were able to use the garden to play games and generally chill. Plenty of parking for 3 cars.
