Great Central location. Parking space enough for my SUV - just a bit tight. Cosy space. Patio area an asset. Twin folding beds into studio apartment space - I was staying alone, so not an issue. I could leave my bed down. Not sure if every guest would be ok with the fold down twin single beds. Potential guests may need to be fully aware. KitchenRead more area has sufficient facilities for food preparation. If you are prepared for the beds, this is a good studio space for a Southwold stay. Hide

This cottage was spotlessly clean and very centrally located. Parking space also very useful. Well equipped with fabulous shower and ingenious folding beds which were so comfy. Parking space and patio also a real benefit. Had a fabulous stay, very comfy and peaceful. Would thoroughly recommend.

I booked The Folly so I could join family on holiday. I was staying here alone and it was perfect for one. The property is in a good location- very near the high street and a few minutes walk to the beach. The Folly is light & airy. Blinds keep the space private from another holiday property across the yard. There are two pull-out beds which arRead moree surprisingly comfortable and easy to use. The bathroom is small, but everything works well. The kitchen is fairly well equipped, I must admit I didnt cook many meals. The sitting area is pleasant and the sofas are comfortable too. Everything I needed for a weeks stay. Hide

The Folly is a very comfortable place to stay in the centre of Southwold. It has everything you need to make you feel at home and feels very spacious for the size as it is very well designed.

A comfortable modern open plan property situated in the centre of town but surprisingly quiet. Our Christmas break was perfect in wonderful Southwold. Upon arrival we found a pleasant surprise: a Christmas tree, panettone and a bottle of champagne; a kind gesture.
