A beautiful Southwold holiday home oozing contemporary coastal charm. Perfectly located for shops, restaurants, galleries and just 200 yards to the beach!

The Upper Deck is a charming first floor apartment situated above the highly acclaimed Coasters restaurant close to South Green and Gun Hill. This popular self-catering holiday home has beautiful, stylish interiors with lovely poster art displayed and nautical touches throughout. The two bedrooms; a master double and second with bunks are lovely and comfortable with chic blue and white furnishing with splashes of red. The living space has exposed beams and original brickwork on the former chimney breast, a lovely spot to chill with a glass of wine after a day discovering the delights of the Suffolk coast.

Our second stay at Upper Deck, great central location with lovely window seat and view of the sea. Perfect for us as a couple (although we did buy a larger frying pan and will try to remember to pack it for next time!), not great for tall people and the bed, whilst comfy, has seen better days.

Apartment was not clean when we arrived. The location is great and the windowsill overlooking the highstreet is a lovely place to sit. The place really needs some money spent on it - carpets/ mattresses etc. its ok but could be lovely.

This is not a place for tall people! The doorways were very low and we kept banging our heads and there wasnt enough height in the shower and the double bed was quite short. Great location and lovely living room.

We've stayed in your properties in Southwold for a few years and unfortunately this was the first time that there was no Welcome Pack waiting for us. Bit disapppointed - this was always seen as a nice touch. Pots and pans/Frying pan rather small - especially for a property meant for up to 4 people. Bed mattress spring-based and "has seen betteRead morer days". However: Great central location on the high street with view down to the sea-front. Hide
