Mill Villa: stunning 4 bed retreat 5 mins from Pakefield’s beautiful sandy beach
The stunning Mill Villa is just a short walk from the wide, sandy beach in Pakefield near Lowestoft.
Elegantly furnished and decorated, this charming escape is the ideal getaway for discerning travellers. Mill Villa sleeps eight in super comfortable beds and offers numerous spaces for guests to relax and unwind. This house has a large, beautifully fitted kitchen/dining room, a cosy sitting room, a games room, four large bedrooms and a gorgeous lawned garden where you can soak up the sun all day long.
The area itself is full of beautiful beaches, many of which are award winning, so coast lovers really will be spoilt for choice. Lowestoft offers a bustling atmosphere and a range of places where you can eat, drink and shop. Venturing a little further, you will discover lots to see and do. Close by lies the unspoilt and sought-after resort of Southwold, with its pier and much-photographed beach huts; or for a change of pace, enjoy all the fun of the fair or walk along the Golden Mile at Great Yarmouth, which boasts traditional seaside attractions too numerous to mention.
Families should make time for a trip to Pleasurewood Hills, the only theme park in East Anglia, and those looking for a quieter time will find the Norfolk Broads National Park a great choice, the southern gateway of which lies in Oulton Broad, just a short drive away.
Shoppers should head to the medieval city of Norwich, which was voted one of the top ten shopping locations in the UK. Here you will also find a splendid Norman castle and a host of museums and galleries, all of which make this city a great day out, reached either by car or the nearby railway line.
Add in lots of great walks, cycle routes and wildlife watching opportunities and you will see why this area remains so popular. After a day out exploring and having worked up a great appetite, you will be delighted to find that there are not only lots of great places to eat close to Kirkley Cliff, but lots of delivery options for when you are too tired to cook or venture out. All in all, a perfect location.
Beach 7 min walk. Supermarket, pub and takeaway restaurants 1-2 minutes walk.

We had a brilliant New Year break at Mill Villa. Its location is perfect if you love a quick walk to the beach. Food shops are within a few minutes walk, which was perfect for us. Some really good pubs within walking distance too. The house itself was great, really comfy beds, two great reception rooms one with a darts board and pool table, which were great fun. Great size kitchen, which was perfect for a good dance on NYE. One of the shower rooms is downstairs and the shower is quite small, it didn’t bother us in the least.The Welcome Pack from Sarah was very generous and very much appreciated. We loved it.

Family birthday weekend
The property was very easy to find, the whole house was well appointed but I was especially impressed with the ‘farmhouse’ kitchen. The games room was a big hit with everyone. The bedrooms were all a great size with comfortable beds. The beach - an easy walk away- was perfect as the nearest bit is dog friendly (year round). Overall, it was an ideal place for our family break away, we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Points faibles : Propreté
A really hard review to write, so many good things about our stay but also some negative that let the place down. It is good value for moneyPro - garden space and seating is lovely, with a large space for our dog - good parking to the rear - lots of space inside with a beautiful kitchen - games room is fun - lots of seating throughout - comfy beds and good bedding - great communication from the host throughout our stay Cons - some windows don’t open and one even broke on our stay, meaning we couldnt shut our bedroom window. Host fixed within a few days though. - every curtain is broken or don’t fit the windows, It was a problem in bedrooms to keep light out - toilet seat in En-suite was broken on arrival but host had it fixed in a few days- cobwebs in multiple rooms and floors not cleaned properly - living room STUNK of cigarettes, cleaners had not done anything to fix it so had to use a lot of air fresheners. My partner is pregnant so could not stand the smell. It was quite disgusting and probably the worst part of the stay. Annoying to be charged extra money for a pet due to cleaning when I’m having to deal with this. - there was also cigarette ash all over the decking outside which has not been cleaned- every room is very tired, whether it’s small things like broken skirting boards, flaky paint, broken skirts etc…I can over look this but it makes the house very tired and in need of some tlc - bbq handle is broken and previous guests hadn’t cleaned it

Dear Gary,
Thank you for your review which I take very seriously.
On the positive side, I am pleased you found the parking, garden space, games room, kitchen, seating and bedding in good order and that you felt Mill Villa was good value for money and dog friendly.
With regards to the other points you raise, I have listed then below together with my responses.
Windows
The bedroom window was fixed within 24 hours and I appreciate you drawing this to my attention during your stay.
Curtains
I agree with you that the curtains needed attention. I was not aware of this during your stay. The curtains have been replaced today.
Toilet seat
The main bedroom toilet seat was replaced within 48 hours. Again, I appreciate you drawing this to my attention during your stay.
Cigarette smell and overall standard of cleaning
I agree with your comments, and I think that this is unacceptable. I am reviewing the cleaning arrangements as a matter of priority. I am genuinely sorry that you and your partner had this experience.
Outside area and general ‘tired’ condition
The next main property refresh (including decorating, skirting boards, various stain removals) is scheduled for October 2026 as this is carried out on a 3 yearly basis. Clearly this has been unfortunate timing.
I appreciate this was a difficult review for you to write. Although it has been a difficult review to read, it has been helpful and a chance for me to rectify the relevant areas.
As a gesture of good will, I will refund the dog fee. I hope you would consider returning next summer to enjoy Mill Villa at ‘its best.’
Warm regards,
Sarah Mill Villa Host.

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Sarah Jackson
Mill Villa was my great grandparents house which I inherited from my mother. It has been a huge part of my family's history and I have always loved sharing it with other people.
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
Pakefield is a lovely community south of lowestoft and like many villages has a beautiful church, which is on the cliff and many lovely pubs. The beach at Pakefield is much quieter than the busy lowestoft beach with its pier and kiosks but I love its peacefulness and watching the fishermen and the dogs out for their walks.
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
Mill Villa has always been a place that has bought people together and has a rich history a summary of which can be found in the Guest Book. It has so many spaces to chill on your own or come together with others from the reading chair on the upstairs landing to the games room downstairs. And a real feature is the stunning kitchen with its beautiful soft tones and magnificent mantle which is a nod to its Victorian heritage.
