Osprey Reviews

Ying Ying
This is a comfortable and extremely well equipped flat. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. Kitchen and living room were very convivial to gathering together. Just an aside, the front left burner was faulty on the hob. There is no aerial so you have to use individual apps to view not clear in the instructions! The first floor bedrooms were a bit cold with no ability to turn on heating.
Lovely stay at Osprey fabulous positionsea view comfy beds. Thank you
We had an amazing stay! Lovely rocking chairs. We enjoyed the area a lot. We also had a great sleep. It was calm and peaceful.Loved the close proximity to the beach! Clean and calm. Would give 4 stars!
We had a wonderful time at Osprey. Location was great, really close to the town, and beach. Dog friendly beach about an 15 min walk along the promenade. We had no problems parking right outside during our stay. Clean, comfy house. The only small issue we encountered, was the tv being temperamental at times. Would recommend staying here.
Love the property. Leak to bath think its the overflow. Basin to top floor bathroom drains way very slowly. One of the ceiling down lighters in kitchen flickers.
A comfortable , spacious apartment all the basic facilities are available with excellent access to seafront and Main Street. A very enjoyable stay.
Stephanie
Great location. Comfortable beds. Very well equipped. The layout suited us perfectly with my daughter, her husband and 2 children sleeping on one floor and my husband, myself and my other daughter on the top floor. Despite there were 5 adults, 2 small children and 2 dogs we had plenty of space for us all. No problem with parking either despite the fact that it was the end of the Southwold Festival!
Couldn't fault the property in anyway, it's beautiful and has everything you need. Only nag was there only being one key, which didn't work for us as a family that doesn't always holiday en masse. Leaving it in the key safe didn't work either as the key safe was temperamental and had a 'knack' to it. Apart from that we have no complaints and would happily book again
Lovely Property. Well located
We had a lovely stay. The only feedback I have is that the boiler made some loud banging noises at various times throughout the day and night. The noise didnt bother us but also didnt sound like any boiler had be heard before. Saying that the heating and hot water worked well.
Debbie
We very much enjoyed our stay at The Osprey. It is a very comfortable and modern apartment with all that we needed for party of 4 ladies. The last night was particularly cold and we found that the radiators in bedrooms did not heat up but apart from that, a most enjoyable stay. Great location and quiet. Can see the sea out of one window which was lovely and relaxing. Would stay again.
Darren
Fabulous apartment!
Great stay in a great location. Loads of space and very comfortable. We had a fantastic stay.
A lovely airy and well set out property, with excellent facilities and equipment. Close to the sea for early morning swimming, and a stone throw from the pretty town of Southwold with its independent pubs, cafes and shops. The main bedroom has black out blinds which would have been appreciated in the other bedrooms at this time of year.
We had a lovely stay everything we needed was in the property.
Nicholas
A fantastic accommodation and location. Couldnt really fault it! Highly recommend!
Adrian
Unfortunately there was no internet, but it wasnt a huge problem.
Rebecca
Very happy with the apartment, dont feel the photos did it justice! It was much larger than I anticipated, very clean, good quality appliances and cooking equipment which helps a lot when your catering for a few! Stylish decor and well maintained. It was also warm and cosy, and no problems getting the key! Extremely pleased with the whole experience, would most definitely like to book again!
