Relax and unwind in this wonderful bolthole for four with lovely views across the fields and over to Reydon Woods.

WE FOUND THE HOUSE TO BE VERY COMFORTABLE, WITH LOTS OF CROCKERY AND CUTLERY. THE WELCOME PACK WAS APRECIATED, ALTHOUGH WE HAD BROUGHT MOST OF IT OURSELVES. WE DID HAVE A FEW PROBLEMS WITH HOT WATER, BUT OTHERWISE WE HAD A GOOD WEEKS HOLIDAY.

We has a really lovely stay at the Sailor's Rest. The property is very clean and comfortable and the location is fantastic for exploring the Suffolk coast. Southwold is only 7 minutes by car and Aldburgh is just down the coast. Norwich and Ipswich are both within easy reach. We'll really miss the view of the fields from the garden but would love toRead more return one day soon. Hide

The cottage was spotlessly clean. It is in a good location for Southwold and surrounding areas. The cottage is comfortable with just about everything you need. There is a bit of traffic noise from the road in front of the house, I'm not sure you could sleep in the front bedrooms with the windows open in hot weather. The view across the wheat fiRead moreelds at the back was lovely, although I suspect it will be harvested very soon. We saw a Barn Owl quartering over the field one night. The garden is nice, but we had a problem with flying ant on a couple of warm days so were not able to use it on those days. Overall we had a lovely stay and may be back in the future. Hide

Easy access, absolutely spotless on arrival. Very good welcome pack with biscuits, coffee and tea etc. Excellent base to explore both Suffolk and Norfolk. Would highly recommend Sailors Rest.

The back grass needed more attention as had been cut once leaving dried cuttings all over making it unusable to walk over. Central heating timer not set so radiators all came on during the day despite the warm weather.

Our stay at Sailors Rest was very comfortable and catered for all our needs. The cottage is situated on the outskirts of the village with views over the local farmland. The coast is minutes away and there are plenty of beaches and towns to visit. We would certainly book again.
