A lovely house, tastefully decorated. A nice, relaxing lounge with view out to back garden. Very comfortable beds. Set back off the road with good parking and in nice location, within walking distance of Southwold. A really enjoyable holiday, would visit again.

Lovely cottage but attention to detail on cleanliness would make it even better. Nothing that could not be sorted.

Great location was nice and quiet, only a 15 minute walk to Southwold Pier and beach (or a 5 minute drive). Convenience store located on the next corner which catered for all our snacking needs! Lovely house, spacious and clean with good parking. Thank you for a lovely stay!
