  We had a great time at The Hollies.

  It was well equipped and the kids loved table tennis. The benches at the dining table were a little precarious for the kids (aged 9, 10 and 12) when they tried to pull them closer to the table. One in particular would rock forwards if not careful. A couple of normal chairs would be helpful for ease of use for those of us who are quite arthritic. The round handles on the doors were really tricky to grip and turn for my arthritis - not a complaint, just if we stay there again, I will take some sort of arthritis aid for opening such doors. I would love to see some extra drawer storage in the main bedroom as there were only 3 small drawers and then just hanging space in the wardrobes. Also, the beds are quite high, which is fine, except for the shorties amongst us, it’s a bit of an issue to sit and get socks on, so a chair in each bedroom would be really helpful. The location was great and peaceful. Lovely beaches nearby. Really enjoyed our stay and would consider returning in the future.

  As I wrote in the visitors book, this was a nice, adequate holiday home: roomy, light filled and airy.

  We enjoyed the garden and spent sunny early evenings around the patio table. We were able to cook light meals on a few nights using the well designed kitchen. However, there were winter weight duvets on all three beds, which makes little sense in the height of summer. The benches around the dining table are unsuitable for anyone beyond their teenage years. We were staying with my 91-year-old mother and were forced to bring folding chairs from home. The bedrooms are spartan in terms of facilities: a chair in each would be helpful. (We all need something to sit on when putting on shoes or to help with changing clothes.) Also, the fridge had a huge build up of ice and needed defrosting. Did this not occur to your house keeper?

  This was a lovely property to stay in.

  It was not only spacious but also very comfortable - the beds were amazing. We found Westleton a pretty village and a perfect location for a holiday. However, after a long journey from the south coast with roadworks and queues at the Dartford Tunnel on a hot day we were shocked to discover there was not so much as a tea bag in the house. This was a first for us despite many years of renting. (The welcome. pack consisted of a white wine and a packet of crisps.) There was no food or drink not even some salt and pepper. After the generosity .of previous property owners with your company we were stunned.

  Cottage was fine overall, but really should have much more in the way of fixtures and fittings, such as coat hooks, shoe rack, loo roll holders etc.

  - and a few more pictures would be nice. Bulb in main bedroom bedside lamp was blown, and no spare in the house. Garden was a bit unkempt and needed to be a bit tidier. Another big criticism is the security cameras, which are unwelcome and intimidating, especially as one of them looks directly into the main living area. Understand the need for security perhaps, but not happy that we could be looked at even when indoors. Was very tempted to tape over them during our stay! Shower head nozzles in main bedroom en-suite were badly blocked, but I unblocked them and it was working perfectly when we left.

  Really enjoyed our time at The Hollies.

  At last found a property that we would like to return to in the area. Previously struggled to find somewhere in an area that we love. Appreciate that it the property is a new rental but hopefully the following comments would help the owner’. No Ironing board. Better selection of glasses. Maybe a selection of plastic plates etc. for children. Chairs instead of benches fir dining table. Thanks fir great holiday in Westleton.
