We have stayed here several times over 7 years and we will be back again, we find it the perfect size for 3 or 4. The cottage is always very clean, well kept and presented with ample storage for clothes/luggage. We have found the area to be quiet and peaceful, a real home from home . The downstairs loo is a big plus. Parking at the cottage isRead more good and the cottage is very local to Southwold and surrounding areas of interest. We do miss the welcome pack that seems to be a thing of the past, it made a really nice warm welcome. Hide

This is the sixth year that we have stayed at Kittiwake Cottage and we have never been disappointed by the standard to which it is kept. This year rooms have been redecorated and a new shower has been fitted as well as other improvements.

We've had a super week and thoroughly enjoyed Kittiwake Cottage. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We've been blessed with good weather and have done plenty of cycling and swimming. Covehithe was idylic - worth going early as we almost had the whole beach to ourselves and it is magical. Enjoyed a good lunch at the Anchor at Read moreWalberswick (great to find the bridge open again this summer, the little ferry is always good fun. We almost managed (almost) daily gelato at H & J in Southwold - so many flavours to sample. We love it here and feel sure we'll be back. Thank you! Hide

Kittiwake cottage was one of the best places we have stayed in. Really clean and tidy, the decor was perfect and just about everything thing we could possibly need for our holiday was provided. A nice quiet location with a bus stop not far away or a 30 minute gentle walk into Southwold. A perfect place to stay and relax.
