We had a fabulous holiday! The house had literally everything you need and it was all of a high quality. It wS very spacious and clean! The owners were very helpful giving us ideas on where we could eat out and lovely places to visit! They were also easy to contact when we had difficulty with wifi and the problem was sorted out very quickly!

The property was very well equipped.. It was in a very good location for country and coastal walks. There was plenty of information about the local area. Os maps were provided which were useful.

Excellent house with everything you need.. Easy access to sea and local towns. Quiet and peaceful location with lots of accessible walks

Miss Moore, February 2020

Sandlings is the best accommodation we've had so far! It felt less of a holiday property and more of a home. The accommodation was in very good decorative order with a 'seaside' feel, but with a Christmas booking the proprietors even provided a decorated Christmas tree! The whole property was spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed throughout. Definitely worth further visits.

Mr Whittingham, December 2019

November 2019

Sandlings is a warm, comfortable and very well equipped modern property providing an excellent base for our week in East Suffolk in early November.. Bike storage was an added bonus. The village of Hollesley has an excellent pub, about 200 metres from the property, that opens every day,serving good food at very reasonable prices from Wednesday through to Sunday lunchtime. The village shop met all of our basic needs. Fresh eggs and vegetables are available locally using an honesty box system. If we return to the area in the future, we will have no hesitation in trying to book this property.

Mr Lavender, November 2019

Lovely, warm home in a peaceful location.. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped throughout. Spacious accommodation for six adults. Very good pub,with food, The Shepherd and Dog a few minutes walk away and great village shop, complete with Post Office, a short stroll in the other direction. A great spot for exploring East Suffolk. Would definitely recommend.

Mrs Moseley, November 2019

September 2019

The house was a delight - basically we wanted to live there! Clean, spacious, well designed and everything we needed was there. Also really friendly and useful phone call beforehand with the owners. When we got there, we could not find the WiFi password. Duh! It was written on the only page of the comprehensive booklet that we did not read! But a phone call sorted that out in a few minutes. Local shop was good, local pub served good food, and a nice part of the country. Good holiday.

Mr Ebdon, September 2019

Superb accommodation.. Couldn't find a fault.

Mrs Penn, September 2019

August 2019

Just had a week holiday with the family and found this property to be ideally situated for a base to explore the area.. The property was very well equipped and had information & walks of the area, games, DVD’s if needed, BBQ in the garage. There is the Shepherd and Dog public house just round the corner that was very friendly and serves meals. Would definitely recommend this property as a good base.

Sandlings is a lovely modern 3 storey town house set in a peaceful village.. The local shop has long opening hours and a good selection of items and the pub are both only 2 minutes walk. Hollesley is set next to a large area of common ground, gorse heath and woodland with many trails to explore for the walker, cyclist and horse rider. There is a real sense of community in the village, from the community garden to the warm welcome at the pub and shop and friendly neighbours. The house has generously sized bedrooms and bathrooms and a private little rear garden. It's very well equipped and has a toilet on every level. The kitchen and lounge may be a little cosy for a party of six but was certainly spacious enough for our party of 3. There is private off road parking for two cars and the village is set on a picturesque peninsula with the nearby shingle beach of Shingle Street, sleepy villages and a mixed sand/shingle beach at Bawdsey. The nearby town of Woodbridge is a lovely mix of independent shops in a historic high street and the odd, more upmarket chain. Plenty to see and discover at a pace to suit yourself. We had no issues with WiFi at all.

Miss Locke

August 2018

The main issue was that the wifi in the house did not work at all, this made it especially hard as we spent most of the weekend unable to even get a signal on our phones.. 2 people in our group rely heavily on the internet due to the nature of their businesses so this did hinder some of the work that they could do at the house. I did feel it would be better to say on the listing that whilst wifi is available, it is very temperamental to make those that need access to the internet aware that there could be some issues. However, there were many more positives that far outweighed the lack of wifi. There weren't enough towels in the house for all of us so we contacted the home owner and they sent round fresh towels very quickly, the kitchen had everything that we needed, the house was clean (although there were a few spiders around) and the garden was big enough for what we needed and well kept. The only drawback was that it was quite a way from all the main shops, having said that, I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to come and stay in the area and would definitely go back.

Mrs Goodchild

Sandlings was very homely with all the facilities that we needed for a week's stay.. It was extremely clean with lots of extra seaside themed touches which made it feel like a holiday home. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms had lots of storage. There were plenty of towels and the kitchen was well equipped. Located in a small village, it was just a short walk to the village shop which was well stocked and the local pup (essential to book for a Friday evening). We were glad that we followed the information about the 'Fish and Chip Van' which calls at the local recreation ground on a Friday evening - generous portions and tasty. We made use of the garden which was quiet. There was a short power cut after which the WiFi failed to come back on. This wasn't too much of a problem as it meant our teenagers had to talk to us and play games in the evening! Lots of lovely places to visit locally including Woodbridge, Sutton Hoo, Southwold and Aldeburgh. We were lucky enough to visit Aldeburgh for Carnival including the lantern parade and fireworks in the evening. Thank you for the tea, coffee, milk and biscuits on arrival.

Mrs Hilton

Do not usually stay in a new build but, was very surprised how quiet and well situated this property was.. The village was nice the surrounding countryside outstanding. The property was very spacious too. The kitchen was equipped with everything I needed and it was all of very good quality. Even in the hottest weather on record, opening the back and front doors brought a fantastic breeze through that kept us all comfortable. The owners left us tea coffee and a pint of milk for drinks when we got in. Absolutely no complaints.

This was our first ever booking with Skyes cottages and we will definitely be booking again.. We all felt very relaxed and at home... one of our children are disabled but even he felt comfortable which is an unusual experience for him when he goes away! We were left some milk, tea and coffee on arrival which was great after 4 hours driving!

Sandlings is a really lovely holiday property. It is clean, nicely decorated and well equipped - we wanted for nothing! Within a couple of hours we were settled in and were walking on the nearby shingle beach. It was a great base for exploring lots of interesting places and our 'mini- break' was relaxing from the moment we arrived. We would definitely recommend Sandlings to friends and family!

The house was light, clean and very comfortable with pleasant décor. We enjoyed the pictures, little boats and shells on display. The children were also catered for very well, with plastic plates, cutlery and high chair, but the best was a toy basket with clean toys and books. l could not fault anything with this rental. As a family we rent in different areas about 4 times a year and this was the best that catered to our needs.

Mrs Farr

My boyfriend had booked the modern cottage for Valentines Day, he proposed to me that night which makes the cottage a bit more special for me. Other than that, our communication with the owner was excellent, the house was so clean and all crockery and equipment was available. The house was great, we would highly recommend it, great place to relax and enjoy. Somewhere I would definitely visit often. Loved every bit of it!
