House is in very a quiet neighbourhood but only minutes from the beach and High St. Very well equipped with all you need for a home from home break, beds and sofas comfortable as is the garden furniture. Garden gets sun for most of the day and very private. Highly recommend for a peaceful holiday

Woodpeckers is the perfect holiday home; it is very well -equipped, comfortable, warm and quiet and spotlessly clean. From the moment you open the front door you know that an excellent stay awaits. It is two minutes walk to the sea and the pier, and only ten minutes to the High Street, and an added bonus is private parking. We've stayed four timesRead more now and hope to be back. Hide

A really enjoyable place to stay. It is within easy walking distance of the beach and playground which was important for the 4 year-old. it was well equipped and clean and it had ample parking for 2 (perhaps even 3) cars

This was our third stay in Woodpeckers - we wouldn't choose anywhere else in Southwold; its location is ideal for walking both to the sea and the town, parking is a bonus and the property could not be better equipped or more comfortable. We hope to be back!

Woodpeckers is a lovely bungalow tucked away from the road which means it is extremely peaceful with no one walking by. Good parking. From the outside it is very unassuming but inside it is warm and welcoming. We love it. Just returned from Woodpeckers as our daughter had her wedding at The Swan so it was a good base. It is close to the pier wRead morehich means it is a pleasant walk along the seafront to town. Look forward to returning. Hide

Lovely bungalow. The windows needed cleaning in and out. The grass was very long and was cut the day before we left which was a shame it hadnt been done beforehand, lovely garden. Lots of plates and cutlery but very short on glasses.

The bungalow was exactly as described on the website. Immaculate standard of cleanliness. Everything you could wish for was there, even the use of umbrellas but luckily we didn't need them.

The property was very well appointed - I only marked it down because the wifi connection was so poor and I was unable to connect with my laptop. That would put me off using the property again. Other than that it is one of the loveliest places I have stayed - if the wifi worked I'd go back.

One the loveliest houses (properties?) we have stayed in. . . . . Loved the artwork; fabulously comfy beds do we really have to leave?
