River Cottage

Beautifully designed inside and also little yard garden. All facilities top rate. Lovely large bath and shower. Kitchen very well equipped. Both bedrooms very peaceful with extremely comfortable beds. Good WiFi reception.

We liked everything even the steep staircase and holding rope (you would need to be able to climb the few steps to reach the bedrooms) but totally in keeping with the cottage. Need to consider where to park but we always found a space as you entered the road.

Such a lovely cottage, loved all the original features. Was perfect for a few nights or even longer. Ideal location next to the river and the town is a short walk. So peaceful I didn't want to leave. Biscuits and wine were a lovely gift too. Will hopefully come back again

Everything was great. The stairs were a little tricky, possibly could be better if there was a railing attached to the wall? The only thing I was disappointed with (otherwise score would have been 10), the bedroom was a little messy when I arrived. Bed looked like it had been slept in and floor like it hadn't been hoovered, but it didn't ruin the stay.

Parking was a bit difficult

It was clean, well presented and reasonable value. It is close to Beccles Quay and Lidl and Knead Bakery are close by.

The stairs are horrendous and we don’t know how they pass safety checks. They are an extremely steep, narrow (carpeted) spiral staircase with virtually a sheer drop to the kitchen. There’s just a rope, no proper banister, each step is narrow but very steep and it felt like an orienteering exercise to go to bed! To make matters worse there’s no bathroom upstairs so anyone with mobility issues or regularly needing to visit a toilet, this house is not likely to suit, which wasn’t advertised when booking the property. We couldn’t manage to get our bags upstairs. A sofa bed in the lounge might help though unable to access upstairs. Outside the front, the parking space is very small and access is challenging, best to reverse up the gravel road (which is noisy). The area is also plagued by very noisy sea gulls, which started in the early hours. There was no fan upstairs but leaving the windows open meant a very noisy night!
