This was our third stay in Bay House. It is the best equipped house we have ever stayed in and the location is quiet but handy for beach, pubs, shops and playground. This year the newly opened Canteen restaurant and community hub at the end of the road was an added bonus. I am sure we will be back soon.

There was building work on the next door property which we hadnt been told about. It was very noisy from 8 am. We were lucky that we were there for the bank holiday weekend so we had three days with no building.

Nothing is perfect! Needs blackout blinds or curtains in bedrooms everyone woken up early with the sunrise, long before wanting to wake up!

The property itself was very clean and well equipped (one thing just to mention so you know for next tennant is hand blender does not work. Its in one of the kitchen drawers by the side of the cooker). The house itself was really well equipped and such a nice touch for there to be childrens cutlery, bowls plates etc and the bottle of bubbles and bRead moreiscuits on arrival was very kind. We liked the house itself but hadnt quite appreciated the distance from the attractive part of Southwold and would not book in this location again. The piece I was less impressed with (particularly given the cost) was that there was no gaurantee of a baby cot on arrival. When I called the office no one could confirm it had gone in and as we were arriving late at night it was a risk we couldnt take so had to pack our travel cot. I know it doesnt seem like much but when packing a full car with children for a holiday every inch of space counts and it was pretty poor that this couldnt be gauranteed particularly when requested so far in advance. As it turns out the cot was there and so there just needed to be better communication in your team. Other than that the house was lovely and as mentioned above brilliantly equipped. A thank you to the owners for enabling us to stay there. Kind regards Alice Hide

A long weekend for a special birthday. A lovely house to celebrate in! Very well equipped. Great paces to visit nearby, would recommend Southwold Museum followed by The Lord Nelson!

I have ticked the highest score for cleanliness in Bay House and it was spotless. The only thing I think you should be aware of is that it has quite a serious moth infestation. It didnt worry us since we didnt have any woollen garments with us but others may not be so lucky.

Very nice house in a great location, the only thing that spoilt it was the 9am leaving time, it doesn't need to be that early, I have a villa abroad and was much more flexible with my guests.
