We were a group of 6 ladies on a long weekend break. Tall Cottage was a really lovely house with everything we needed (even hot water bottles!) and instructions to operate everything were clear. Very comfortable and clean and the location was excellent for the town and also for going on trips. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Really lovely house, all the bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. The location was excellent - a quiet residential street but only a few minutes' walk from the beach and local shops. The kitchen was well-equipped and there was plenty of room for us all to sit in the sitting room. We all want to stay here again!

Tall cottage is a wonderful place to stay with children. It is very well equipped for young children and you dont have to be precious about the environment as it has been designed with children in mind! I would thoroughly recommend this cottage. We will be returning next year for our fourth visit.

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.
