Duvet was too heavy!

Very clean with quality furnishings and comfortable beds. Good location for exploring the local area. Feel that a guest/information folder would be helpful (we were unable to find the wi-fi password) and perhaps a blind for the bathroom. Whilst we found the property easily, the directions supplied by Sykes seemed to relate to a different property.

WI fi not able to connect to my devices. Someone nearby played very loud bass music a lot of the time, necessitating us having the tv volume high. Description of locality was totally incorrect, as the house is not Southwold, but Wrentham. Not told this until after deposit paid. Owner was very helpful, but unable to do much about all these matters. Commend the cleaners on their job though.
