Tall cottage is a clean, comfortable, warm, well equipped and spacious house. It is in an ideal location near the sea in one direction and the shops in the other. The street parking presented no problems. It was the perfect property for group of 7 friends and we hope to return.

This is a wonderful house for friends who wanted their own room . Very clean and welcoming. Well equipped for 5 of us to eat and drink. We didnt cook as Sole Bay is at the end of the road. House is in great position for the promenade and the shops. Great cafes. Afternoon tea at the Swan is the best Ive ever had.We had a relaxing 3 night stay. WouldRead more definitely come again.Thank you for the welcome bottle of fizz. It was lovely. One criticism of Southwold is no evident dog poo bins and therefore some irresponsible owners feel its ok to leave dog poo on the pavements . We are all dog owners and found this quite shocking.

We had the best pizzas ever at The Lord Nelson. Our daughter and son in law enjoyed an excellent meal at Sole Bay Inn. Multiple bathrooms was great, as were the lovely soft huge towels & sumptuous bedding. Comfy beds too. Beautifully presented, it was just right. We hope to return, many thanks.

Our second stay in this house. It suited our 3 generation hol well. Despite poor weather we were able to enjoy Southwold as usual, in fact it seemed easier to get tables in several of the pubs.
