A lovely house, clean and well maintained, with plenty of space for socialising. Good quality kitchen equipment supplied, and plenty for the number of residents. This property is in a great location, close to the beach and the town. Bonus garage, and no problem parking in the street close by. A really great place for a family holiday!

The basement bedroom is not of the same standard as the excellent other bedrooms. Dark, every sound from the kitchen above can be heard, a long way from a bathroom. This July has rained a lot and perhaps that was why the room felt cold and a bit damp. We were surprised there were no hairdryers. Other places we have stayed have one in each bedroom.Read more But it was a fantastic base. Wonderful to be so near the beach. Exiting to be near the lighthouse. And of course Southwold is a special place with lots to do. Hide
