An excellent property within such close proximity to the beach and the town. It took us just one minute to get to the high street. The house is a lovely property with two good sized bedrooms with plenty of storage. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need along with a washing machine. There is a small courtyard garden, which does geRead moret the sun but felt quite claustrophobic for us, but there was a table and chairs there. The parking was very near the property which always had spaces so that was a bonus for us. All in all, a very nice place to stay in the heart of Southwold. Hide

The cottage is well equipped and is in a good location. It would probably benefit from a re-fresh. Unfortunately the cottage was very cold when we arrived and took almost 24 hours to reach a comfortable temperature - once this was achieved we were able to enjoy our stay.

White Cottage is situated in a great position for the beach , high street and harbour. 3 good size bedrooms with a large kitchen. If youve not visited Southwold before there is so much to see. Great walks , pubs and our favourite Sole Bay Fish restaurant on the harbour.

We had a lovely week at White Cottage in Southwold, which is located at the heart of this beautiful town.
