Rowan - Three Tuns Apartments , Wickham Market - by Aldeburgh Coastal Cottages

The facilities were adequate.

We were woken three times in the night by loud banging noises, which sounded like problems with the heating system. Unfortunately when we stripped the beds, hairs were found on the mattress cover on the double bed. There was only tea in the cupboard. It would have been nice to have a few other essentials such as coffee, sugar and milk.

Tv was very small on the wall: didn’t bother to use it. Could have done with a microwave :)

Bedside light in the twin bedroom not usable when in bed!

A modern, light and airy apartment with ample parking and an easy-to-use lock box for the key, so we were able to arrive later than we had thought we would. The shower was very good and the Wi-Fi was fast and easy to access.

However, it's a shame that our stay was spoiled by several niggly problems, most of which I have reported to the owners. Despite being listed in the facilities, there was no microwave in this apartment. The kitchen extractor fan rattled badly and was unusable. The pots & pans were of low quality and didn't have flat bottoms, so they didn't make good contact with the induction hob and made cooking very difficult. The frying pan, in particular, had such a badly warped base that it would be impossible to fry with it. The pans were small and none were large enough to cook something like pasta. The crockery and glassware were mismatched and no two glasses or bowls were the same. One of the dining chairs was loose and rickety, making it uncomfortable to sit on. The beds weren't great, but were passable. One was a fold-up type of bed. There was a completely pointless and unnecessary floodlight shining up at the building (probably left over from when it was a pub) which shone straight into the bedrooms and lit up the ceiling behind the curtains. A light sleeper would have great difficulty with this and would also struggle with the noise from passing traffic late into the night and from early in the morning, even with the double-glazing. The windows, although fairly new, were quite a struggle to close. If these problems were fixed, it would be quite a good place to stay, but we were glad that we were only there for one night.
