Seascope, 38 Kessingland Cottages, Rider Haggard Lane, Kessingland, Suffolk, NR33 7NU

Seascope far exceeded our expectations, with its best feature being the location. A stroll across the (shared) front garden are the steps leading down to the vast grassy dunes and the pebbly, dog-friendly beach beyond. Considering we were visiting in peak summer time, it was like having the beach to yourself, with other beach users just a speck in the distance. We even saw a seal pop his head out of the water as if to check us out. The property itself was tidy, light, clean and ideal for our requirements, and the view of the morning sunrise from the main bedroom was truly amazing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay, the chalet was clean, well stocked and the access to the beach (although a bit steep) was excellent along with the view. And the doggy was in his element on the beach.

Our only disappointment was the attitude of the site manager who knocked on the door and accused us of putting dog poo bags an the wrong bin and didn't seem at all convinced when we denied it, he also spoke to someone further along and asked to inspect their doggy bags. Maybe a lesson in tact and diplomacy would help.

My partner and I stay here for a week as a birthday holiday break away, got to say it was a fantastic week, the view from all of the windows were amazing, on the first morning we laid in bed with the blinds open and watched the sunrise this was a breathtaking and so picturesque, we really couldn't wise for a better place as this cottage is dog friendly our pooch loved being a few steps next to the beach, the cottage was clean and everything we need was there, the complex is lovely and quiet and well maintained, we both would definitely love to return here.

we loved our week here, we didn't find the beach too far, we also worked out a short walk along the cliff path to the north and go down the next set of steps you find gives quite a bit of sand. The place was clean and bright. We loved the children's outdoor toys and DVD's. We spotted a previous comment before we left regarding the shower upstairs but we found plug in the pump in the cupboard and it was the best shower ever, although the cable took a little wiggling to reach the plug socket. We would have liked a little info about the village, it would be

Bright holiday accommodation with amazing views. Don't be put off on arrival as you may be concerned about what you have booked. Park up and walk around to the front of the building where you have an amazing sea view which is undisturbed. The gardens are well kept and there is a private gate down to the 'living' beach. A great place when looking for somewhere to take the dog. We did come home two days early as the bed mattress was far too hard for me and the pillows are extremely flat even when folded in half - would suggest you take your own. The doub

This is not a second home but a holiday home and so has little differences. For example there is no freezer and the microwave is also the grill and oven. Having said that there was everything that we needed. Seascope is on a small holiday estate that is very well maintained and peaceful. Shops (including a chippy) are half a mile away. The Waterfront Restaurant (very good and reasonably priced) and the Sailors Home Pub (busy but good food in large portions and reasonably priced) are three quarters of a mile away. The cleaning was the only slight downsi
