About this property
A stunning seaside house for large groups with panoramic views of the Suffolk coastline, Cannons, resting in Southwold, is perfect for celebrating special occasions with large groups. Park off-road and unpack with ease into this stunning house, noting the stunning driftwood chandelier and airy hallway, where extra care has been taken to create an air of opulence, and make yourself at home in one of the three sitting areas, a TV room, a snug, and an open-plan living area, each with a selection of chairs and sofas tastefully picked to make morning coffee a delight. The kitchen is fantastic, with wooden work surfaces and plenty of space for group cooking, it is no wonder that mealtimes can be enjoyed by the whole group. The property has six spectacular en-suite bedrooms, all with beautiful views of the countryside and coast, and all with contemporary décor, so you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a space to get cosy for the night. As the evening wears on, make your way up to the second floor where a fantastic snug creates the perfect spot for cocktails as you watch the sun set and the coastline beyond, a truly wonderful part of the property. Outside there is a barbecue and lawn where you can enjoy breakfast outside. Southwold is a seaside town where there is so much on offer for guests, so if you can tear yourself away from this magical property, Southwold Cannons and Southwold Lighthouse are both well worth a visit. With such a large beach, taking a walk in the salty air is a must, and you can also try out watersports and wild swimming. Southwold has a variety of eateries and independent shops for you to explore, however, you can travel further from the property to visit a handful of castles strewn across Suffolk, including Orford Castle and Framlingham Castle. Make an amazing seaside getaway with a stay at Cannons.

However here are our criticisms 1. The parking is very tightâ¦â¦we had a mini and 2 suvs and it was just about ok. 3 large cars would struggle 2. As commented by others the ovens are poor. Very small and really should be improved. With a full house itâs a struggle to cook a full meal. Microwave had no plug in its housing 3. Outside wooden table and chairs for eating need replacing. In very poor condition 4. Allegedly there is a barbecue - says in the details - but we never found it. 5. Heating was almost impossible to regulate.

However, it would have been useful if the property description had included a floor plan. It failed to mention that the top bedroom en-suite bathroom is small with a height restriction. Many windows were difficult to open and in one of the first floor bedrooms, it was impossible to close them. Luckily we were able to phone the Housekeeper who was extremely helpful. But although we tried on a number of occasions, it was impossible to get through to speak to anyone in the Sykes office. We also wrote an email, but didnât receive an answer.

BUT it has two quite important drawbacks. Firstly two of the bathrooms are so small they are laughable and virtually unusable. Secondly the description âample parkingâ is somewhat misleading as the parking on the pebble driveway is only just big enough for three cars but with no room at all to turn round, with on grass parking that is dangerous when wet. The games room is not very well equipped and we found the tv room soulless and badly situated,Despite these negatives we all had a great time at Cannons.
