Saxmundham is a small market town located on the River Fromus, in the heart of Suffolk’s Heritage Coast. The town is well serviced with independent shops, local museum, supermarkets and a train station, as well as art galleries, a weekly market and a farmers’ market. Situated so close to the coast, Saxmundham is a great base for a seaside holiday; within easy reach of Aldeburgh and Thorpeness, as well as Dunwich, Southwold and Walberswick, you could enjoy a different coastal location each day. Also close by is the inland market town Framlingham with beautiful historic architecture, a castle and an array of independent shops. South of the town there is the well known tourist destination of Sutton Hoo, an ancient Royal Anglo-Saxon burial site. With Ipswich an easy drive south, and Norwich an easy drive north, there’s so much to see and do in and around Saxmundham.

Our only complaint was that the beds are very firm. I slept in the loft room which had a mattress topper on. We even added another topper that we use for travel and it was still far too hard for a good nights sleep. On the plus side, we enjoyed using the pool & games room.

The property was full of very large cobwebs and on close inspection I felt that things in the top floor bathroom had been missed(around the basin plug hole and on the edge of the shower tray where the door runs) all easily cleaned with a toothbrush! I did not check the other bathrooms as these were being used by other family members. When we left we hoovered the lounge and the carpet looked better than when we had arrived. All small issues that did not spoil our stay (we loved the property) but the blind was a problem which should have been rectified. On a positive note, the property was ideal for our family, beautifully decorated and comfortable,and the pool etc were perfect. We would consider staying again if we could be reassured that things were fully checked before arrival.
