The Sea Suite | Sea View | Spacious
Lovely stay in this seaside apartment, lots of cool things around to do with my son. Will defo be returning 😊

Toothbrush Apartments 2 Bed/2 Bath Waterfront View, Parking (5th Flr)
The apartment is very well appointed with a great view over Ipswich Marina with the bonus of some fabulous sunsets too. The apartment is spacious for a two-bedroom accommodation and the two bathrooms are a definite advantage. The host, Martin, was very supportive and attentive to our needs throughout the stay with prompt and friendly communication. I would certainly recommend this apartment and would look to book again for future stays in Ipswich.

Crag’s Nest
Our second stay in this beautiful apartment. We will most certainly be back again, which really says it all! The location is superb and the apartment is gorgeous, comfortable and really homely. We love it! Thank you so much for a lovely stay.

Pebble View, Aldeburgh
We had an enjoyable stay at the apartment. It was an ideal location and close to amenities - shops, pubs and restaurants. The property was very well presented and we had everything in the apartment that we needed. It was easy to travel to Southwold from the apartment and there was plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. We would recommend the apartment and would certainly stay there again if we were in Aldeburgh. We would also recommend Snape Maltings and walking the trail between Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings.

Wonderful Burnham riverside flat - gorgeous views!
Great location, the flat is spacious and has amazing views of the river. Close to lots of nice bars, restaurants and shops. Good communication from the host. Would definitely recommend!

The Marina Penthouse
Really lovely apartment with fantastic views. So many great amenities nearby. We really enjoyed our stay and had a lovely weekend in Ipswich. Very comfortable beds and lovely decor in the apartment. Will definitely stay here again if we return to Ipswich. Great communication from the host. Totally recommend a stay here. Thank you!

Self contained annex in riverside cottage
A very peaceful and tranquil place to stay overlooking open countryside. Beautiful walks from the doorstep. Well equipped kitchen with a great selection of books and DVDs for a quiet evening in. plenty of tea/coffee/milk etc and lovely clean towels and bedding. Great resource of things to do with maps on your doorstep and a-joining villages. The accommodation was spotless and very comfortable. Laurie and Lucy are very friendly. Highly recommended

Penthouse 2 Bedroom Seaview Beach Front Apt
What a little Gem, we loved our stay and the flat was amazing, fully equipped with what we needed. Amazing views and very comfortable. Great location and great parking and close to all amenities. We would definitely recommend, thank you for letting us stay 🥰.

Robin’s Nest - 4-bed home close to beach
This was my first booking with Airbnb so I didnt really know what to expect but Mel has certainly set the standard. She is a friendly, helpful, honest, and incredibly responsive host. The house was exactly as described and the quiet location was perfect for us. We'll definitely stay again when we return to Mersea Island, which was beautiful too!

Seaside Getaway
We stayed in this beautiful little getaway and absolutely loved it! We were really impressed with how clean everything was and how comfy the bed was! The location is perfect. There is a nice little walk to the beach which is about 2mins!! And a lovely little pub enroute, The Oddfellows which we definitely recommend a visit to! Everything is really easy to get to by foot and the neighbourhood is so nice! Ian was great, very friendly and approachable. He communicated with us prior to arrival to give instructions on what to do when we got there, ensured us we could contact him at any time should we need to (luckily we didn’t), and just before we left. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again!

Mill Dam Lake House
Visited for a wedding nearby, great stay and Melanie was flexible with check in times.

Stunning Newly Built Harbourside 3-bed Property
Stayed over the Easter weekend. Clear instructions on how to find it & get inside. We had 2 cars so parked 1 in the secure gated area which was a real benefit, the other car on the street. There was always space available in the road but not always directly outside the house. The house is on 3 floors with big spacious bedrooms & a seaview from the rear rooms. Exceptionally comfy beds & good quality bed linen & towels. A well equipped kitchen & a good stock of board games in the living room which we had fun using each evening. Other houses in the street had a wheelie bin but I couldn’t find ours so sorry, we couldn’t empty the bins as we normally would when vacating a property. 1 thing I would add to the top floor bedroom would be a comfy chair, there’s space for 1 & it would be a nice place to sit & read. The house is next to a trainline but right at the end of the line so no noise at all. Harwich is small & seemed very quiet. A few shops, pubs & restaurants easy walking distance away.

beachside house with uninterrupted Sea views
This was an absolutely perfect stay. The house is enormous yet homely, beautifully appointed and with the most breathtaking views. The pool and spa are an added bonus and the path down to the beach / estuary is gorgeous. All in all an absolutely fabulous place and we will be back. Thank you xxx

Bowline - Harbour View Lodges
Fantastic place to stay, comfortable, smart and very clean. Check in and out was straight forward and easy. Tanya was a great host and easy to communicate with, thank you for our stay!

The Old Pilot Hut, Felixstowe Ferry, Amazing Views
Such a beautiful location with large windows to appreciate from every direction. We loved the local fish shop with daily fresh fish to buy, as well as the sweet cafes.

*! Simple Coastal Luxury near Southwold !*
Our 3rd visit to this property. Excellent location and very peaceful. Filippa and Oliver were very responsive and quick to resolve some minor issues. Great cycling routes into Southwold.

Characterful mill conversion in popular setting
I was attending a course in the area and the stylish and cosy accommodation made it a super all-round experience. The heating warmed the place thoroughly within 5 minutes and all the essentials were provided.

Riverside apartment on the Waveney (Waveney View)
Great little place next to river, friendly hosts thank Mark and Jan. Our dog enjoyed all the local and beach walks. Had fun with the canoe on the river.

The Studio
Micheal was really warm & welcoming host, with lots of humour & charm. He makes a mean cocktail in their cool little bar at the back of their lovely danish shop He gave us great recommendations for place to go and places to eat . The studio is above the shop and is very clean with everything you need , perfect for 2 people. When we return to Frinton we will definitely be trying to stay at the studio. Thank you’re hospitably

Parkside Haven
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Belinda flat, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I've ever had! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the spotless cleanliness and thoughtful touches throughout the space. The decor was modern yet cozy, making it feel like a true home away from home. Belinda went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect, providing everything I could possibly need—from a fully equipped kitchen to luxurious linens and toiletries. The location was ideal, situated in a quiet neighborhood but just a short walk away from the train station. The attention to detail was impeccable, and it was clear that Belinda genuinely cares about her guests' comfort and experience. Communication with Belinda was smooth and easy, with quick responses. Overall, this flat exceeded all my expectation and provided an unforgettable stay. If you're looking for a place that combines style and comfort, look no further—this is it!

Unique waterfront apartment with free parking
Had a great stay at Agi's place! The apartment is located right on the water with a bunch of shops and restaurants right at hand. Agi was also very responsive and welcoming, offering a book of suggestions on local attractions and willingness to communicate any time.

Pier View - Sea & beach view from every room
A lovely well equipped apartment central to everything. The main high street literally a 5 min stroll. Liz was very friendly and helped with parking. The kitchen was particularly well equipped with everything you might need. An Easter egg and lemon drizzle cake was waiting for us on our arrival which was a thoughtful touch. Beds were very comfortable. Would most definitely recommend this apartment and hope to return in the future.

Beachfront Studio Apartment
We had another lovely stay in Donna's apartment. The location is wonderful, being so near to the seafront and local shops. Donna has made some great changes since we last stayed, which we loved and the apartment has kept its lovely feel. We would love to come back.

Boutique apartment: only 50 paces to the beach
Pamela is a fantastic host and a lovely person to deal with. Communicative, helpful, and friendly. He place is cozy and comfortable with all of the right amenities. She has our highest recommendation and would stay there in a heartbeat again. Thanks so much to Pamela and Graham! - Jeff, Jen, and Henry
