The property was not cleaned properly. When we arrived, the kitchen floor was tacky with floor cleaner. Carpets had not been vacuumed and there was a large amount of dust and pet hair under the sofas. On moving a footstool we found a toy under it. Dusting had not been done - shelves, lamp bases, shades, towel radiators all dirty. Dining room chairsRead more dirty and stained. When drying water on the ensuite bathroom floor with the bath mat it was literally brown with dirt. All this was discovered after having to wait for one and a half hours because the property key was not in the key safe, after a six hour journey with children. No apology or follow up from Original Cottages or Suffolk Secrets employee who came from an office literally five minutes down the road.Not mentioned in its listing, the property is on a busy road with principal bedrooms the front, so not a good nights sleep. Positives Lovely garden for the children. Near to beaches. Hide

The bungalow is spacious, modern, well appointed, with attractive decor and furnishings. The garden is mature and pleasant and the whole property is not overlooked. We enjoyed our stay and would come again.

Generally speaking the bungalow was ideal with plenty of equipment, although only supplying one toilet roll per bathroom for a week was a bit annoying. The loft hatch opening on its own in the middle of the night was dangerous and did damage the wall, but the staff dealt with the problem immediately and courteously.

A lovely property in a good location to visit the surrounding area A few issues - dust in many areas of the property, and a very strong smell of sewage from the bathroom areas. This was helped by opening the windows but 3 did not have windows
