Lovely cottage and without a doubt the cleanest holiday home I have ever stayed in.90 seconds from the beach, what’s not to like.Off road parking good (albeit tight) because it’s quite a busy road.The shower is fab and would be better without the bath.The clothes aired could do with updating its was way to small for a houseful.The light switch in the dining area is faulty.The furniture in the lounge definitely needs an upgrade The sink in the bathroom needs a drainage gridThe front door could use an upgradeFor me the bed(s) where uncomfortable and the metal frame was squeaky.

Great house, a real home from home. Great location too, short walk to the beach, amazing sunrises. With 5-10 minutes is a coop which is well stocked, fish and chip shop, and the Tramway pub is lovely. Lots to do in the surrounding area, Southwold was lovely to visit too.

Lovely stay here. The owner has thought of everything and lots of attention to detail. Welcome pack was great, and the cottage was really clean. Within walking distance to the beach. Local chippie and pub. Beds are really comfortable and we had great nights sleep. Would highly recommend.
