Lovely holiday home and so well placed in Southwold, very unique to have off road parking and away from all the hubbub of the Southwold crowds.

The Haven is a spacious, very comfortable and well equipped cottage, with 2 equally large bedrooms and plenty of storage space. It is very well placed for both the beach and shops but is in a quiet tiny cul de sac. It has the great advantage of a parking space and an EV charger, such a bonus where parking space is at a premium.

The house clean enough. The garden needed tidying, some of the plants growing over the access gate. Location perfect, house well equipped.

The property was ideally placed in Southwold, close to the beach, shops and eateries, and had the benefit of a parking spot - 5/5 for this. Unfortunately it was let down by the standard of cleaning in that the rear courtyard had weeks, if not months, of dirt and spider webs on the windows/sills/skylight and the floor had not been swept of seagull dRead moreroppings. The bistro table was also green and looked dirty. The small balcony off the master bedroom, especially the floor and table top, also had not been cleaned. There was as much dirt/bird poo on the day we left as the day we came, so it could not have happened since the clean last took place. We ignored these outside spaces and used the front courtyard instead. I have also given a 3 for Comfort and Quality. The house itself had good quality furniture and was well equipped, though the house is not inexpensive to rent and I would expect this to be so. My score largely reflects noise in that we were woken at 8.00am on the Saturday morning by VERY loud drilling and banging from an electrician working on the property next door. This carried on for some time and we eventually had to leave the house to go and find some peace and quiet and hear each other speak. Definitely wasn't 'The Haven' on this occasion. This also happened, albeit slightly quieter, on the Monday morning but as we were leaving we were up and about anyway. I feel this should have been explained to us as a possibility before booking and the price be reduced accordingly as I've seen on other company's websites. The owner and managing agent must know about this as there was a concrete mixer by the neighbour's garage and, when I looked at the house book on the last morning, someone else had complained of the building noise a month previously. It's a shame the house was let down by these two situations, but it would make me reticent to book again in the future with you, or the managing agent Suffolk Secrets, or recommend to family and friends.
