What a fabulous cottage. Well equipped, immaculately clean and comfortable. Every little detail was perfect, you could see this house is loved by the owners and treated like their own rather than just a rented property. Perfect location and a lovely secure garden which our dog loved. Parking was not an issue loads of parking on the near by common aRead morend only a short walk. The stairs are quite steep but if you are bodily able they are perfectly acceptable (our parent's in their 80s managed) Lovely bedrooms, very clean and both en suite which we wanted. Main bedroom is very bright in the afternoon sun and have easy accessible bathroom which was a joy to use by our elderly parents. Absolutely loved the sliding doors and beautifully thought shutters. Second bedroom has sun in the morning and is as well equipped with the shower over the bath. Cottage had cleaning products available which was a joy and allowed us keeping the bathrooms and kitchen clean during our stay massive thank you. We had a bottle of Prosecco and yummy apple juice waiting for us in the fridge also little welcome pack tea, coffee and biscuits. We would love to return to this lovely cottage in the future. Massive thank you to the owner for making our stay so comfortable Hide

Great location for a winter break in the heart of Southwold with amenities on our doorstep. Easy parking a few hundred yards away. The kitchen is a lovely sociable stay and great to have two en-suites when staying as a group.

Lovely, clean and comfy cottage in a great location. The stairgates at the bottom and top of the stairs really helped keep our son safe. Parking not an issue. And the fizz, juice and goodies were a welcome bonus. Would recommend this cottage. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Excellent cottage. Location is great and the lack of parking outside isn't really an issue as there is free parking a couple of hundred yards away. Loads of places to walk the dog and nice places to eat and drink in Southwold and nearby Walberswick. Very pleased with our stay and would be very happy to return.
