This wonderful Victorian house has excellent facilities for guests of all ages. The huge, open-plan kitchen/diner boasts a long table where you can all gather for sociable meals before spending quality time together either in the lounge or in the basement games room where there’s a home cinema, pool table and piano. Head to the first floor and you’ll find four bedrooms. Three can be configured as either twins or super-king-size, and two of these have en-suite bathrooms; the fourth is a bunk-bed room for two with an en-suite shower room.

The others are a single with an en-suite shower room, and two rooms that each house a child’s raised cabin bed and a small single bed, sharing a family bathroom. After a day at the beach, you can rinse off in the shower outside the back door, then choose between relaxing on the terrace while the youngsters play or grilling a meal on the BBQ on the south-facing patio.

Your four-pawed friends will adore zooming around on Kessingland’s huge beach, much loved, too, for its wild swimming and water sports. The village has cafes and pubs, while Lowestoft, 7 miles, offers more amenities, and Southwold, 9 miles, is Suffolk’s iconic resort with an array of shops, galleries and places to eat and drink.

This property has the potential to be a really lovely place to stay. Its in a beautiful, quiet seaside location and the house itself is clearly designed to be a comfortable and enjoyable space. During our visit, we found that the overall cleanliness and maintenance didnt quite meet expectations. While some areas, such as the kitchen worktops, had Read morebeen cleaned, other parts of the house would benefit from a more thorough and consistent cleaning routine. We noticed marks on some soft furnishings and linens, and some areas that hadnt been fully dusted. Since our stay, weve spoken with the owners and understand that these cleaning issues are being addressed, which is reassuring. There are a few maintenance issues that, if resolved, would really improve the experiencesuch as general wear and tear in places, areas of plaster needing attention, and ventilation concerns in the games room. We also experienced some issues with showers and heating in certain rooms. That said, there are definite positives. The new swimming pool is a great feature and was well heated, and Peter the caretaker was very helpful and quick to assist with any immediate needs. With some attention to cleaning and maintenance, this property could easily live up to its potential. Pros: Great seaside location, peaceful and scenic New swimming pool, well maintained and heated Helpful and responsive caretaker (Peter) Hide
