The location was the biggest selling point for us and previous comments about the property being a bit tired is accurate but it was clean and warm and therefore exactly what we wanted for a family short break.

This is the second stay we have had in Holeystone Cottage and we love it! You can't beat the location for easy access to both town and beach which is an essential ingredient for our vacations. We love the layout of the property which is deceptively spacious, meaning all our family members can gather comfortably in one place for a get together. The Read morebespoke parking is also a real asset, especially as we tend not to travel much once we have arrived! I would highly recommend this property to prospective holiday makers and would hope to return again sometime in the future. Hide

A brilliant home for an extended family gathering, so well situated in southwold that you can almost touch the sea , the shops and the pub. Not 5 star luxury but perfect for our needs .

Good welcome pack, excellent towels and linen, very well equipped kitchen (except dishwasher), rotary drier and pegs a useful addition. On the whole very satisfactory but starting to look a bit tired and in need of TLC. Upstairs bathrooms for instance.

This cottage is good value for the location and number of people that it holds but do not expect any luxuries!
