The flat is delightful - light and airy - ideally suited to warm summer weather. This makes it chilly and hard to heat in cold weather. The central location of the flat is superb. The kitchen is well-equipped

The apartment is great. Well kept, clean and roomy. location is great and parking a plus. The only issue I would highlight (and I have shared with the owners) is the sunlight that floods into bedroom as soon as it gets light (about 5am at the moment). The bedroom is nice but people need to know there are no curtains behind the bed to stop the lRead moreight. Would we return? Yes - if they put in some curtains. and definitely, no if they didn't. Hopefully this comment confirms everything else was absolutely fine and as advertised. Hide

A great location with car parking that is unusual for Southwold. Opposite the crown hotel and minutes from the coop that is handy if carrying lots of goodies for your stay. An incredible amount of light floods into the apartment due to the 360 degree windows. Many other properties look dingy in comparison. We would book here again

A lovely flat in a really convenient location and with parking. It has been lovingly designed and furnished. It is light, airy and spacious. The bed is brilliant. I love it. I feel it is quite expensive and small details sometimes let it it down.

Lovely, light and airy first floor flat in an excellent location (just behind the High Street) with the added bonus of secure private parking. Slightly quirky layout whereby on entry you walk through the bedroom to get to the living area and kitchen. Enjoyed watching the baby seagulls on the roof opposite!

Nice apartment, excellent location & parking facilities. The communal entrance vestibule and tired bathroom let it down slightly.

This apartment is in a great location with parking! Very well equipped, comfy bed and some nice decorative touches. However, there are areas that would benefit from a deep clean and a freshen up.

The Hideaway is absolutely perfect for two people to enjoy a few days in Southwold. The location is perfect - right in the centre of town, but set back from the High Street so really quiet. The allocated parking space is a huge bonus in such a busy town - and the barrier makes it nice and secure. The apartment has everything that you could possiblyRead more need for a short break - we will be back!!!! Hide

The apartment is in a great central location and benefits from a car park space. Its light and airy in decor and has a nice feel to it. All kitchen equipment need is supplied so very easy to self-cater if choose. Nice welcome pack provided.

This caused exasperation of asthma due to allergic reaction - brought to lettings / owners attention but no recompense offered for costs incurred. The apartment also has the most uncomfortable set of sofas - lots of references to that in the in-property guest book. So not the most comfortable of apartments to stay in. Hide
