Perfect bungalow
We had high expectations of this bungalow, from the photos online and we were not disappointed in any way. For a one bedroomed house, it’s very roomy with an extensive lounge and conservatory directly off it (no doorway) which was great as we had many visitors during our week here. A lovely, comfortable bedroom with huge wardrobes meant that we could store away a lot of our stuff. The kitchen is also bigger than it looked in the photos and was pretty well equipped. Everything in the whole place was clean and in good order, although we have a tiny niggle that the dishwasher racks are probably ripe for renewal, but the dishwasher itself worked just fine. The decor throughout was quite modern and of a better standard than you tend to get with rentals which accept dogs, this was much appreciated. The bungalow itself had lovely views and great walks which we couldn’t enjoy in such wet weather but it is not the bungalow’s fault that it rained so much! Being ex-locals ourselves, we knew how well placed it is to access both the A127 and A12, but even we were surprised how rural the location was, although directly off a road we thought we knew quite well! Andy the owner was a pleasure to deal with, he answered messages straightaway but otherwise stayed away so although his house is nearby, our stay was quite private. His dogs come in for comment in another review: all I can say is yes, they did have a bark-off with ours a few times with our two (not sure who won) but they were not pests at all, were completely contained in their own garden, were quiet nearly all the time and certainly at night and personally, I thought they were beautiful and didn’t mind their company at all.
I’d have no hesitation in staying here again, it was a very nice base for us to see extended family and had plenty of parking so they could come to us too. Thanks so much, Andy, for enabling us to have a much needed break in your lovely bungalow, it was just what we needed!
