The property is in a fantastic location no more than 300 yards from anything you need. Linen and towels were in plentiful supply. Beds were comfy and once the fire was lit you knew you were on holiday in Southwold in February. Bath is huge. We will most certainly stay again.

We loved everything about the cottage. It was perfect for our 4 generation family holiday in terms of location, space and comfort. Will definitely book again when we return to Southwold.

The house was a little tired and externally some TLC was required. The property advertised that there was off-road parking for two cars, I think this is a little optimistic.
