Guests say
The Folly in Southwold is praised for its prime location, comfort, and well-equipped nature, offering a home-like experience. Guests appreciate the quiet yet central setting, proximity to the beach and town, and the thoughtful touches like a Christmas tree and champagne during the festive season.
Reviews consistently describe the property as clean and tidy, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The central location close to the town, amenities, and beach is highly valued by guests, contributing to a top score for location.
Guests find The Folly comfortable, with special mentions of the comfortable beds and sofas, and a quiet atmosphere despite its central location.
The property is well-equipped, with a particular mention of a well-designed space and adequate kitchen facilities. However, the mention of a 'very tight parking space' suggests some room for improvement.
While one review mentions a Christmas tree, panettone, and champagne, this appears to be a seasonal gesture and not indicative of regular practice. As such, it cannot be guaranteed and is not reflected in the score.

This cottage was spotlessly clean and very centrally located. Parking space also very useful. Well equipped with fabulous shower and ingenious folding beds which were so comfy. Parking space and patio also a real benefit. Had a fabulous stay, very comfy and peaceful. Would thoroughly recommend.
