2 Bed Flat with Waterfront Views + Parking
Perfect location to explore Ipswich & the surrounding area. Lots of personal touches in the apartment. Restaurants nearby and it was everything we needed for a short break. All in all had a fantastic weekend. Thank you

Toothbrush Apartments 2 Bed/2 Bath Waterfront View, Parking (5th Flr)
The apartment is very well appointed with a great view over Ipswich Marina with the bonus of some fabulous sunsets too. The apartment is spacious for a two-bedroom accommodation and the two bathrooms are a definite advantage. The host, Martin, was very supportive and attentive to our needs throughout the stay with prompt and friendly communication. I would certainly recommend this apartment and would look to book again for future stays in Ipswich.

Crag’s Nest
Our second stay in this beautiful apartment. We will most certainly be back again, which really says it all! The location is superb and the apartment is gorgeous, comfortable and really homely. We love it! Thank you so much for a lovely stay.

Pebble View, Aldeburgh
We had an enjoyable stay at the apartment. It was an ideal location and close to amenities - shops, pubs and restaurants. The property was very well presented and we had everything in the apartment that we needed. It was easy to travel to Southwold from the apartment and there was plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. We would recommend the apartment and would certainly stay there again if we were in Aldeburgh. We would also recommend Snape Maltings and walking the trail between Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings.

We had a large family gathering here at Peters place. 9 people & 4 dogs. It was fabulous. Literally looked out on to the beach. Very short walk to town. Where there was a glorious selection of shops pub’s restaurants cafes & Art galleries. We would definitely stay again. Hosts were fabulous by the way. Problem initially but Peter came & sorted it out straight away. Thankyou sooo much Ollie & Peter xx

Robin’s Nest - 4-bed home close to beach
This was my first booking with Airbnb so I didnt really know what to expect but Mel has certainly set the standard. She is a friendly, helpful, honest, and incredibly responsive host. The house was exactly as described and the quiet location was perfect for us. We'll definitely stay again when we return to Mersea Island, which was beautiful too!

Mill Dam Lake House
Perfect spot, lovely views, very comfortable. Lovely little playground opposite the corner for a fun afternoon with our little one. Thank you Melanie!

Stunning Newly Built Harbourside 3-bed Property
Stayed over the Easter weekend. Clear instructions on how to find it & get inside. We had 2 cars so parked 1 in the secure gated area which was a real benefit, the other car on the street. There was always space available in the road but not always directly outside the house. The house is on 3 floors with big spacious bedrooms & a seaview from the rear rooms. Exceptionally comfy beds & good quality bed linen & towels. A well equipped kitchen & a good stock of board games in the living room which we had fun using each evening. Other houses in the street had a wheelie bin but I couldn’t find ours so sorry, we couldn’t empty the bins as we normally would when vacating a property. 1 thing I would add to the top floor bedroom would be a comfy chair, there’s space for 1 & it would be a nice place to sit & read. The house is next to a trainline but right at the end of the line so no noise at all. Harwich is small & seemed very quiet. A few shops, pubs & restaurants easy walking distance away.

beachside house with uninterrupted Sea views
This was an absolutely perfect stay. The house is enormous yet homely, beautifully appointed and with the most breathtaking views. The pool and spa are an added bonus and the path down to the beach / estuary is gorgeous. All in all an absolutely fabulous place and we will be back. Thank you xxx

Brightmer Villa, Southwold
Lovely house , plenty of space for al the family , all you need is there for amenities in the house , lovely welcome bag with coffee biscuits and wine Location is fantastic , if you choose to eat at home and relax at home indoors it fantastic And new oven is great. If you are arriving during the day during busy times weekends / great weather you may find getting a parking space difficult but in the evening once the day visitors have gone it’s ok We would go again

Bowline - Harbour View Lodges
Fantastic place to stay, comfortable, smart and very clean. Check in and out was straight forward and easy. Tanya was a great host and easy to communicate with, thank you for our stay!

The Old Pilot Hut, Felixstowe Ferry, Amazing Views
Such a beautiful location with large windows to appreciate from every direction. We loved the local fish shop with daily fresh fish to buy, as well as the sweet cafes.

*! Simple Coastal Luxury near Southwold !*
Stayed here with a group of friends. The house is beautiful and incredibly quiet. It looks exactly like the photos and we’d definitely consider returning. It felt very spacious with enough room in the kitchen and lounge for us all. We didn’t meet Filippa but she was very quick to respond to messages. The house is a lovely, long walk away from Southwold and the beach. Lots to do in Southwold. Would highly recommended a stay here.

Beachfront with sea views in Walton on the Naze
Fantastic location for a seaside stay for myself, my son and our dog. Couldn’t get closer to the beach which was perfect. Apartment had everything you could have asked for and more. A real home from home experience. Hosts were very responsive giving clear directions and instructions. Will definitely be back again

Characterful mill conversion in popular setting
I was attending a course in the area and the stylish and cosy accommodation made it a super all-round experience. The heating warmed the place thoroughly within 5 minutes and all the essentials were provided.

The Studio
A cosy studio flat. Spotlessly clean. Lovely bathroom. It had everything we needed whilst visiting family in Frinton. The only downside was that the high street is a little noisy, but it was great to have everything on the doorstep. Thanks!

Parkside Haven
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Belinda flat, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I've ever had! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the spotless cleanliness and thoughtful touches throughout the space. The decor was modern yet cozy, making it feel like a true home away from home. Belinda went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect, providing everything I could possibly need—from a fully equipped kitchen to luxurious linens and toiletries. The location was ideal, situated in a quiet neighborhood but just a short walk away from the train station. The attention to detail was impeccable, and it was clear that Belinda genuinely cares about her guests' comfort and experience. Communication with Belinda was smooth and easy, with quick responses. Overall, this flat exceeded all my expectation and provided an unforgettable stay. If you're looking for a place that combines style and comfort, look no further—this is it!

Unique waterfront apartment with free parking
Had a great stay at Agi's place! The apartment is located right on the water with a bunch of shops and restaurants right at hand. Agi was also very responsive and welcoming, offering a book of suggestions on local attractions and willingness to communicate any time.

Manningtree Beautiful 2Bed Apt (2nd bedr ext fee)
Absolutely loved staying at Sarah's place in Mistley! Location was central and it was super easy to walk into Mistley or Manningtree. My dog had the best time running around in the fenced garden, the space was cosy and warm and I loved working on my laptop in the sun room looking out at the backyard. Sharon was an excellent host, she came to say hello briefly and have me lots of helpful local recommendations. Can't wait to come back!

Beachfront Studio Apartment
Donna’s place was so quirky and in an amazing location, with the seaside right on the doorstep. Donna was very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We had a wonderful long weekend celebrating my birthday and will almost certainly be back. I’d recommend this beautiful, cosy gem to anyone looking for a peaceful stay right on the coast.
