Hillcrest, Aldeburgh

Location good for beach and shops, both within 5 minutes walk. Very spacious with excellent off road parking and in a very quiet location. Good-sized garden with outdoor furniture.

Main feature of the kitchen is an AGA which most visitors would have no clue how to use. The alternative oven is much too small for 8 occupants and we struggled to cook breakfast and dinner at the house. Towels could have been a little bigger, and there was no soap in the downstairs toilet. Double beds were on the small side. There was plenty of space in the room for king sized ones. A few issues with sash windows and minor repairs needed.

Quiet location and spacious. Pretty clean.

The floorboards are sanded and super smooth, combined with the thin rugs that are all over the property it’s a serious slip hazard. We moved them all out of the way in the lounge/bedrooms/hallway. The non slip floor stickers do nothing with thin rugs. Asked if they had a bbq and told no, there was one there though.

A house with lovely large rooms great for our dogs and family. The garden was enclosed and was very safe for the dogs. The kitchen was well equipped and the Aga made the kitchen really cosy. Furnishings were very sympathetic to the age of the house giving a shabby English feel. The beds were very comfortable and the bedrooms were very spacious so much so that they could have had a little bit more furniture in them. Although the house was a little outside of Aldeburgh it was a quick walk and nice to be away from the main street. We would definitely return to this house it is in a great area and was very comfortably furnished.

The house as a whole could do with the little TLC including the garden which is a little overgrown and unloved. Painting around the house including the window frames could be a little bit more pristine along with the cleaning in these areas. The water pressure in the showers was shocking and didn't make for a great experience I did mention this to the agent hopefully they will take some action regarding this. The dishwasher also did not work particularly well and this has also been reported.

Breakfast not applicable location was very good close to beach and local amenities.
