Lovely well maintained house very conveniently located for all southwold facilities. Clean with excellent self catering facilities. Outside space limited to small balcony (room for 2 chairs and small table) and a dark courtyard which gets very limited sunlight. Very narrow entrance to courtyard parking.

Very pleasant accommodation, just off the main street and with parking - Ideal! Property is larger than its name suggests and very comfortable. It's a bit draughty and quite cold - better suited for summer than late November. I think the central heating isn't very efficient and nor is the double glazing. Also - during a storm rainwater came floodRead moreing in the air-vent of one of the windows! Team in Southwold very quickly sorted a problem with the TV reception. All in all we would return - just not in the autumn/winter! Hide

This was a lovely place to stay - very central, spacious and with views from the upstairs balcony. Perfect for two people but with space for two more. The location meant the house was quiet and peaceful, although very near the town centre.

The cottage we stayed in in Southwold was in a lovely and central location - the cottage was fully equipped. The only downside was that there was hardly a garden....just a patio with slabs that could do with a good clean scrub! But, having said that, I would stay in the cottage again as it had the advantage of a parking space.

A very comfortable and attractive property with one car parking space. Situated within easy walking distance of high street shops, restaurants and sea front, but still quiet and secluded.
