The cottage was beautiful, well equipped, comfy, cosy, well situated and an absolute gem! Go no further than Frinton Escapes! My first time and the cottage was ideal. Close to ALL amenities in a close, so quiet but everything on its doorstep. Great history behind it too. If you do t go, you will be the loser!

Staff very helpful and polite from the house keeping staff to the reception. Room was a good size, clean beds for us were too soft but once found a reasonable comfortable position had a reasonable sleep. Can I just say that when customers are asking for an early booking in time and booking breakfast before arriving, it would be helpful if you could inform the customers that they needed to pay for the extras on arrival or as soon as the reception opens at 1330hrs. As there was a bit of a mix up...

10/10 Excellent
This hotel is for chillers only. Just relax and forget all your worries. Fantastic food, great staff, top class facility. BUT; dont have a 2nd floor room when it's the hottest weekend of the year. Not that you'll know when you book but it was just too hot. No air conditioning just a small noisy fan so took the edge off the chill factor! However, its was a fantastic base to explore west Suffolk. Do try it.......

The welcome could not have been friendlier, really lovely people. The station house building is a little 'creaky' but it's full of character and well appointed; it was really nice seeing the trains come and go and they did not disturb us at all. The view from the window was lovely with the sun rising over the river Deben, looking up to the ancient hills of Sutton Hoo. Breakfast was great! Full English (vegetarian), with loads of coffee and plenty of smiles.
