I wish I’d seen these reviews before I booked because then I wouldn’t have been scammed. The ‘waterfront’ property ‘right on Aldeburgh Beach’ was in fact a couple of streets back. Once I pointed ou... See more

Bestofsuffolk do nothing to protect their customers
Bestofsuffolk just serve as advertisers for the property owners. If there is an issue or complaint they have no ability to get the owner to refund a stay. There is not formal complains procedure (unlike airB&B). The owners can just refuse an issue and bestofsuffolk do nothing about it. Do not trust them with your holiday.
A terrible company
A terrible company. We stayed in Weavers Cottage, Lavenham.
They accused us of blocking the drains and charged our card for £100 without our authorisation.
We found this company to be unprofessional and would avoid using again.
We will do a chargeback with our bank to retrieve the funds.
Staying at Mariners Cottage in…
Staying at Mariners Cottage in Aldeburgh that has building work on one side and lock up garage storage on the other. This morning we were woken at 7, and had to have all doors and windows closed whilst we were in due to noise. The attitude of Best of Suffolk has basically been - this is what happens in towns and there’s nothing we can/will do, sorry if that isn’t the answer you wanted. What service, hopefully we will save anybody else wasting their money to book this property.

never again
hired a cottage for 3 nights over new year, in the hall there was a leak wich created blown paint and mould, best of suffolk should have inspected the property before it was rented as it was a new one on there books, got one night refunded instead of the 2 that we wasn't there, best of suffolk blame everybody but themselves, and we are talking lots of mould that's been there for sometime.
Beautiful apartment in perfect location
This is one of my favourite holiday homes: beautiful decor, clean and comfortable. The grounds are attractive and quiet, and the swimming pool is a bonus.
Old Bloxhall House
Old Bloxhall House is undoubtedly a beautiful property, well decorated and the kitchen in particular is exceptionally well equipped. However upon arrival we found some advertised features not provided, in particular one complete room was locked. We immediately contacted Best of Suffolk who eventually told us that the website is for guidance only! Just before arrival we were informed that there would be building works every working day whilst we were there. This was reluctantly postponed but arrived to find the property was surrounded by extensive building works including around every entrance.
Heron House, Southwold
I booked with Best of Suffolk last year and the house exceeded expectation. This year's, Heron House, Southwold did not. It was not clean (lots of dog hair) and the downstairs lacked the comfort you would expect when a property costs almost £2,900 for a week. The sofas were incredibly uncomfortable and the outside yard was neglected. On a positive note bedrooms and bathroom were nice and the house is in a fantastic location.

Good company. Great Rental Properties.
Nice and easy to book. Just the right level of communication regarding the rental and their other services. They were quick to respond to email requests to change booking and other enquiries. Property was great. There was an issue with the key lockbox on arrival but someone was already on their way to fix it so we were only waiting 30mins to get in the property but that's the only real grumble and it's a minor one at that.

Great Service and Perfect Accommodation
Can not fault the service we received from Best of Suffolk. The booking was very smooth, they kept in touch and communicated everything very clearly.
The accommodation was exactly as described and had everything we needed.
The location was fantastic for us too, so close to Aldeburgh and the beach.
I would definitely recommend them.
