It is set in a street of mostly medieval and Georgian houses, each with their own architectural charm, and has a private, riverside terrace which overlooks the 16th-century church and bell tower where Lord Horatio Nelson’s parents were wed.

Have stayed here several times and love the house and location. The kitchen and bathroom needed more attention to cleaning (inside cupboards and bathroom tiles). Due to COVID 19 we paid more attention than we normally would have Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Originally planned as a holiday around my son’s wedding, COVID, caused the wedding to be postponed
Originally planned as a holiday around my son’s wedding, COVID, caused the wedding to be postponed but we took the holiday anyway - me, my wife, daughter and her two sons. Glad we did. Great location. Easy access to the centre of Beccles and to walks in wide open countryside. 20 minutes to the coast. The house itself is well appointed and functional and in a town with limited parking spaces Riverside House has plenty of easy to access space. Good base for messing about on the river though book canoes etc well in advance. First holiday in Suffolk. I suspect we will be back. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Great house in a great location, with great walks along the river in both directions.
Great house in a great location, with great walks along the river in both directions.
Great house in a great location, with great walks along the river in both directions. Close to Southwold and Aldeburgh, and within easy reach of Norwich. Pity that some pubs in Beccles still closed, as I understand it's not viable for them to open up and comply with Covid distancing guidelines. We had a very enjoyable week, and were blessed with good weather. On the downside, the house and furnishings are a bit tired, and some of the furniture needs updating. The dinghy in the garden had a leak, and despite the extra time (8 hours between check out and arrival) needed to 'deep clean' the property prior to our arrival, we found a very greasy unwashed grill tray in the oven that had been overlooked.

Great location, very comfortable bed and lovely to have a view from every window. Kitchen was not particularly clean, patio area was not very tidy ( including dead seagull ) and washing m/c was dirty so decided not to use it. Garden furniture not comfortable - needs updating. Could do with a TV in the dining room. Only 6 mugs available, but plenty of plates and dishes. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
