  Overall the cottage was very charming and well equipped. The Chinese just up the road was lovely and the short drive to Lowestoft was perfect. You are only a couple of minutes drive from a Morrisons and an Aldi too which is helpful. Although the cottage itself was quirky and decorated nicely, on arrival we did not feel that the cottage was particularly clean. This was disappointing as we were not able to access the property till 4pm so that it could be made ready. A welcome bag had been left with a few snacks which was a nice touch, however we could not find any information or a welcome pack. Eventually we found one under the coffee table which gave very outdated information. For instance it made reference to a cabin with games and TV which is obviously not there anymore. One of the biggest issues we had was the drainage smell coming from the bathroom when the taps were running, it was almost unbearable. We do appreciate that the cottage is old but it really did put a bit of a damper on our experience as every time you wanted a shower you were hit with the awful smell. Apart from this the cottage was big and we did have a nice week however for the money we paid we were disappointed. Hopefully these issues can be rectified in time for the new guests as the cottage itself could be a really nice space.

  Having been regular - one might even say loyal - customers at Durdans for several years now we are sad to find the standard of maintenance leaves more and more to be desired.

  Nearly all of the fridge door shelves are now broken, as they have been for at least 2 years, so it is impossible to keep a bottle of milk in the fridge. The Venetian blinds in the en-suite bathroom don’t work and the curtains in the master bedroom need rehanging. The drain outside the kitchen is blocked so the waste water from the sink just flows out onto the drive. None of these are serious deficiencies (although not being able to keep milk in the fridge is seriously annoying!) but they do make Durdans feel rather unloved, and its guests accordingly rather underappreciated . We also arrived to find no tea towels and no oven gloves (we had to go and buy a pair of oven gloves, and fortunately we brought our own tea towels as there are never enough, but to find none at all is really not on). With a heavy heart, I think we may be moving on next year.

  We stayed at your Sweffling Hall site last week with friends who where in the cuckoo and we were in the Swift and I must say our first Glamping encounter did not disappoint. The accommodation was excellent. We were so impressed with the quality of furniture, beds, towels, cleanliness of bedding and everything we could possibly need in the kitchen. It’s was fantastic.I also was impressed with Sandra who welcomed us on site. She was in constant contact throughout or week and making sure we were enjoying our experience. There was a small incident with another tent who had not kept their dogs on the lead which led to my friends dog cutting their paw however Sandra dealt with it straight away and we were grateful.Will definitely be booking again. Thank you

  We had a lovely Christmas in the Bridewell.

  The house was just right with its log burner, old beams etc and great facilities. The kitchen is very well equipped, good cooker with 2 ovens open plan with the living room made a good space for cooking and entertaining. We arrived to a Christmas tree and very generous welcome pack . There was plenty of wood for the log burner. We knew there was no parking with the house . There is free on street parking with no time limit approx 10 mins walk away ( near Woodbridge school) more information about available parking in the details would be helpful. There was no guest information folder which is unusual. It would be helpful to have one with instructions for the heating, where the logs are kept , which bins to use and arrangements for recycling etc .
