Itâs a maximum two minute walk to the sea which means you can shower and get changed at the house after your morning swim. As itâs on the High Street thereâs an equally short stroll to the shops and cafes. All three bathrooms worked well with the two showers having very good water pressure. The kitchen easily accommodated six adults for meals and was well equipped. I really enjoyed the abundance of natural light in the sitting room. Two of the bedrooms were a little small and would have benefited from more wall and door hooks as they didnât have wardrobes but this really wasnât a problem for us. A washing line would have been perfect for drying the towels etc of six people as the aired provided wasnât quite big enough. Overall we had a lovely stay.

Parking space is a huge bonus. The property has everything we need for a comfortable stay. It is generally well maintained and everything works as it should. The only niggle is the smell in the downstairs toilet/shower which has been reported to Best of Suffolk. We have noticed this on other occasions when staying in the cottage but last Thursday it was particularly strong and unpleasant, affecting the whole of the property. Other than on Thursday it didnât spoil our enjoyment of the cottage and hopefully the owners will be able to resolve the problem. We are looking forward to returning to Seawall next year.
