We got back home last night after what we all felt was a wonderful break; we really enjoyed staying in Waldringfield and especially in your house. It's not often I say this but there was a small pang of jealousy in you having such a lovely home to be able to return to - again and again! I do hope we have the chance to come and stay there some time in the future.

We had a lovely week at Holmlea. The house was great and we were really lucky with the weather. We would happily stay there again.

Thank you for a fabulous week this Easter. What a wonderful house in a great location.

Our walks directly from the cottage along the river Deben gave us breathtaking views of this beautiful estuary. We enjoyed watching a diverse range of wading seabirds in the creeks and were lucky enough to see a family of seals a mile or so down river basking in the sunshine. What a treat!

The friendly waterside pub, literally almost next door, served us delicious fresh crab and prawn salads on our first day and the kids were delighted to be offered traditional fish and chips! It was great for the children to be able to walk up to the field by the church to play football and basketball if they needed a break from the beach and river activities. They even swam and this was April!

We had planned some day trips during our week - the nearby National Trust's Sutton Hoo, Orford Ness and Orford Castle, Minsmere bird reserve, Southwold perhaps with a ferry trip across to Warberswick if it was running plus a cream tea at Snape Maltings. In the end, because the weather was so lovely and the children were enjoying the activities and freedom that Waldringfield offered, we only had time for a trip to Orford Castle and a quick meal at the Orford Butley Oysterage. How lovely not to have to use the car much except for the odd trip to a farm shop or supermarket in neighbouring Martlesham Heath.

The house works really well. A lovely open layout, all mod cons, very tasteful and calm décor, enough bathrooms to keep teenage girls smiling and even broadband for when the weather's bad!

Thank you for a really relaxing week of fresh air. We will be back later this year!
