Lovely traditional cottage in the centre of Southwold. Walking distance to all the attractions. Would recommend for a short romantic break. Wood burner is a massive plus.

The cottage is in a fantastic location with a charming little garden. The downstairs living area is spacious and comfortable, and the wood burner was a delightful addition to our Christmas stay. While the property isnt as luxurious or stylish as some of the more upscale Southwold options, it has a cozy charm. However, the shower facilities could usRead moree an upgrade. Overall, its a comfy, cute little place, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hide

A lovely little cottage, very clean and perfect for our family of 4. We have stayed twice now and loved it. Noise insulation was pretty good so we didn't get woken by the seagulls. There was a bit of a brewery smell on one or two of the days but this added to the charm. Great location near the shops and easy walk to beach etc. The shower is a bit oRead moren the small side. Great to have washing machine and dishwasher, really appreciated the 3 dishwasher tabs for us to use. Thanks! Hide

Great quirky cottage, very close to the shops and sea. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The only mini issue is the shower being narrow to get into so limiting person size tbh.

Tired. The lounge is very dark with a garden in serious need of love and attention.

We had a lovely week. Cottage well equipped and comfortable inside. Seagulls very noisy but windows blocked them out at night if closed! Excellent location right be the beach and high street.

Lovely little cottage, great location, nicely decorated with lots of interesting pictures and objects everywhere. Well-kitted out with everything we needed, a lovely welcome pack, two spacious downstairs rooms, good size TV (for Wimbledon catch-up in the evening!) and a pretty back garden. The downstairs loo was a night-time challenge due to the (aRead mores advertised) tiny steep staircase and the shower was just too tiny for our comfort but might be fine for smaller guests or shorter stays. A straightforward booking experience from start to finish - thank you. Hide
