Guests appreciate the beautifully furnished and well-equipped Redshanks apartment, noting its peaceful setting and proximity to the coast. The property's cleanliness and comfort are praised, though there is some disappointment regarding the limited pool access and the inability to open windows.
The property is consistently described as clean, with guests feeling no need to clean before use, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is appreciated for its quietness and views, but some guests find it too isolated, requiring a car for outings.
The property is generally found to be comfortable and spacious, with comfortable beds, but some guests mention issues with stuffiness due to non-opening windows.
Facilities like the kitchen are well-received, but repeated mentions of pool access issues and a confusing television system suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While a welcome pack is mentioned, there is insufficient information to assess overall thoughtfulness consistently across reviews, and gifts are not guaranteed.
A welcoming entrance hall, exclusive to Redshanks, sits at the heart of the apartment with the large open plan living/dining room to the right with beautiful stone fireplace and the superb modern kitchen through an arch. Both spacious and stylish bedrooms open off the hall, one with a chic bathroom and a modern shower room, easily accessible for guests in the second bedroom and in the living area.
Set in 12 acres of private grounds with allocated off road parking, this stylish apartment is part of a Grade II listed conversion of a former hospital which has been superbly renovated with the communal facilities for guests including an indoor heated pool, mini fitness suite.
Ground Floor
Carpeted in the hall, living space and both bedrooms with hard flooring in both bathrooms and the kitchen. The front door is wider than standard and there’s a small lip into the apartment and between rooms and into the shower, otherwise Redshanks is suited to guests with a mobility problem.
Living/Dining Room
Light streams in through the tall sash windows overlooking the courtyard. Furnished in a simple contemporary style with two double sofas and footstool, handsome dining table with six chairs. The stone fireplace is a centerpiece to the room with large flat-screen TV above and cabinet in the corner stocked with games.
Kitchen
A gorgeous kitchen with units in a U shape with integrated Neff electric oven and separate grill at waist height (great for bad back sufferers!), four ring gas hob, large fridge with separate two deep drawer freezer, dishwasher. free standing microwave and slow cooker. The cupboards are stacked with everything you could need for entertaining at home and an opening into the living space allows the chef to socialise whilst cooking!
Master Bedroom

En-Suite Bathroom
Chic modern bathroom with shower over the bath, WC, washbasin and heated towel rail.
Shower Room
Off the hallway with double shower cubicle, washbasin, WC and heated towel rail.

Set in 12 acres of private grounds for you to enjoy with allocated off road parking for one car and additional visitor parking close by, Redshanks (44 Blythview) is part of a Grade II listed conversion of a former hospital which has been superbly renovated with the communal facilities for guests including an indoor heated pool, mini fitness suite.
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.

Itâs great for people with limited mobility being ground floor with lots of room to manoeuvre wheelchairs and rollators. Itâs really sad/annoying the information in the black folder is SO out of date, most of the stuff in there was pre Covid. People who donât know the area rely on things like that in a holiday home.

The beds were comfortable and it was lovely and quiet. Perfect location! My only grumble is that we were visiting with another family and neither family could book the swimming pool during the whole week. We were put onto a waiting list and offered 1 space at 1pm (we were out for the day). The kids were very disappointed! I donât think the pool should be offered as an option if you canât use it
Kerry
Everything was clean - I didnât have to clean anything before I could use it. All the appliances worked and well. Yes the telly was a little confusing to use but we got it sorted enough to use in the evenings We had an issue with a cracked cafetière when we arrived and by the time we got back from supper it was replaced. Brilliant And by the way the Fox at Darsham was superb but do book
