Talk cottage is in a great location close to both the shops and sea so we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in Southwold. The house itself was very clean, comfortable, warm and well equipped. The on street parking proved to be fine. Overall, the cottage was ideal for our weekend get together of 9 people.

This is a wonderful house for friends who wanted their own room . Very clean and welcoming. Well equipped for 5 of us to eat and drink. We didnt cook as Sole Bay is at the end of the road.

One criticism of Southwold is no evident dog poo bins and therefore some irresponsible owners feel its ok to leave dog poo on the pavements . We are all dog owners and found this quite shocking.
