Gulls Nest is a charming Victorian red brick cottage located in the heart of the coastal town of Southwold, a real seaside gem within Suffolk. This cosy semi-detached cottage with nautical touches throughout and the bonus of private parking provides small families a great base for a self-catering break. Inside Gulls Nest there is a country-style open plan kitchen and dining area which is the perfect space for guests to socialise. The kitchen comes complete with cream kitchen units and all appliances needed for enjoying self-catering with your guests. On a warm summers day you can pop open the doors to the courtyard area providing even more space for everyone to gather together. Also on the ground floor is the contemporary bathroom which has floor-to-ceiling polished natural tiles. You can opt for a long soak in the bath or alternatively use the large rainfall shower which towers above. Up the carpeted stairs to the first floor are two spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed with coordinated oak furniture with plenty of storage. There is also a small but very handy En-Suite cloakroom. The second bedroom has two single beds with coordinated oak furniture and sea-themed pictures. Both bedrooms reflect their historic roots with the original feature fireplaces still present. Shop: 150 yards Pub: 200 yards.

Lovely location, property and items. Quiet street and close to the town centre ( less than 5 mins ) and a further few minutes to the beach. Parking space good for our car - but very large cars would find it a bit narrow. Very cosy and homely with plenty of equipment and utilities. Small bathroom downstairs, but had a bath and very good double showeRead morer over it ( large and small ). Stairs are little steep - but have a good hand rail. Nice small paved garden with furniture for sitting out, and a shed. We would gladly stay again. Hide

The location was ideal and only a short walk from the main shopping area and the beach. Gulls Nest provided everything needed to ensure we had a comfortable base in Southwold. The modern kitchen had every appliance you could possibly need including a washing machine and dishwasher. The whole cottage was clean and was like home from home with nice Read moretouches such as ornaments and pictures. There was also a lovely welcome pack. Washing up liquid, hand soap and loo rolls were also included which was really helpful. An off road parking space and a small courtyard with table and chairs was an added bonus. We had our little dog with us and there are plenty of places to walk. The area is very dog friendly and most cafes and some shops allowed dogs inside. The countryside in Suffolk is beautiful and we found plenty to do in Southwold and also within driving distance. Overall, we had a lovely time and would recommend both the property and area. Hide

Overall the property was nice, excellent location. However, there were a couple of issues. A more thorough deep clean would be useful as there were several cobwebs, dirt under tables/sofas etc. The main issue is that the lounge smelt of wet dog. We appreciate that its dog friendly but it wasnt pleasant and we had to remove the rug, air out the roomRead more etc. Overall good, just a couple of issues. Hide

Although the property is close to the town and the beach it is situated in an area with dubious neighbours.
