Guests say
Guests have had a delightful experience at the cottage, praising its peacefulness, well-equipped nature, and cosy atmosphere. The property's location is appreciated for its proximity to beaches and local attractions. The welcome hamper, though not standard, adds a touch of thoughtfulness.
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, hence no score can be provided.
The location is highly praised for its quietness and proximity to beaches, Southwold Pier, and local attractions like Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings.
Guests find the cottage delightful and comfortable, with a warm and cosy atmosphere, especially with the log fire during New Year's Eve.
The property is well-equipped, offering a lovely kitchen and dining area. However, the mention of a hen party suggests potential for noise, and the lack of an iron and ironing board indicates room for improvement.
The welcome hamper, though not as expected, is mentioned and appreciated by a guest. However, it is noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary.
About this property
Laxton is one of four, one-bedroom country penthouse lodges located in the peaceful surroundings of Constable Country in Suffolk, in the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The contemporary, eco-friendly self-catering lodges are just a short walk away from fantastic golf, spa, and dining facilities at the Stoke by Nayland Resort. The lodges are perfect for indulgent, romantic breaks for two.
Spacious and bright, this first floor lodge offers an exquisitely furnished open-plan living, kitchen and dining area which features floor-to-ceiling windows at one end, with patio doors leading out onto huge wooden balconies looking out over the beautiful Suffolk countryside – just perfect for a leisurely breakfast, a spot of sunbathing or perhaps an evening cocktail or two as the sun goes down. The stunning, spacious en-suite double/twin bedroom features a high ceiling, glass chandelier and Juliet balcony.
Up to ten lodges offering a total of 16 double bedrooms can also be booked together for much larger groups of up to 32 guests. These are all within a five minute drive of the nearby outstanding facilities at the family-owned Stoke by Nayland Resort.

Confirmed Guest
Lovely apartment and a good location for us, roadway near to apartments need pot holes filling, all in all well satisfied. If you were there longer than one week or more you would need a iron and ironing board which it did not have.

Laxton was in the right part of the country for where I wanted to holiday, but I knew it was a shared property. This was OK until Friday night when a Hen Party moved in downstairs. The brochure said the welcome hamper was not the standard Rural Retreats hamper. Stating No Hamper would have been more accurate (1 bottle of wine, 1 carton of apple juice, 1 packet shortbread biscuits and 1 pint of milk)
