Equally the microwave did not heat, again this was resolved quickly. We were impressed with how best of Suffolk dealt with problems. This is a lovely flat and very clean, a bottle of wine was left which was kind. It was a shame that no tea and coffee was there ( happy with just a couple of bags for our arrival) , there were no spare bin bags, one tab for the dishwasher, and one squirt of fairy liquid. This is all cheap to buy and would have made a big difference. Iâve never stayed anywhere in the uk with no salt, or cling film/ tin foil/ tea or coffee/ spare bin bag. If not providing any tea or instant coffee, itâs helpful to say in the booking confirmation then I could have brought some from home for the first night. These are small things and overall we really enjoyed our stay.

It was very quiet (apart from the seagulls). Overall the facilities were very good however, the shower was blocked so the water didn't run away very quickly - a maintenance issue. I'd definitely stay there again though.

Apartment in a great location, comfortable and immaculate. Had a wonderful holiday - highly recommended.
