Very comfortable stay. Accomodation was perfect for elderly Dad who needs a wheeled frame to get about.

Lovely property. Great location, 5 mins from beach and the pier and not much more to the town centre. 3 generations fit well into the house.1 big and 1 small car can fit on the drive infront of the garage. The bedrooms were all lovely and easily fit 8 which included 2 twin rooms. Would definitely stay again. Southwold is a lovely place and has a great beach. Plenty of places around for eating.
