. The whole house is beautifully renovated./decorated and extremely well equipped, from fluffy new towels to everything you could ask for in the kitchen, and all very smart. Just a few steps fom the pier and the beach and a short stroll along the prom into the lovely little town, with some great shops. The only minor thing which could have been better was the garden, It is a nicely designed courtyard with big dining table and chairs (and one comfy sun loinger) but the shrubs were very overgrown and straggly, in need of some serious TLC!! I appreciate it is the end of the seaon and also not eay to grow certain plants so near the sea, but a bit of pruning/cutting back/ shaping would have made a big difference to our enjoyment of the garden! But everything else was great and we would definitly go back! Welcome gift of a really nice bottle of fizz and a box of tasty biscuits was muchappteciated!

Clean, tidy and plenty big for all the family. Perfect addition of a large conservatory which remains cosy and warm during these cooler evenings. Beautifully located on the doorstep of Southwold beach for walking our dog. Blessed with great weather a 10 minute stroll into Southwold village which has an eclectic mix of shops for all tastes. Throughly recommend this lovey property.
