Guests have enjoyed their stays at the cottage, praising its comfortable and well-equipped nature, tasteful decor, and excellent location in Southwold. The property provides a homely feel and is appreciated for its high-quality furnishings and proximity to local attractions. Some minor maintenance issues and noise disturbances were mentioned, but overall experiences were positive.
The property is generally well-regarded for cleanliness, with only one mention of rubbish found under a bed. This seems to be an isolated incident, as no other reviews raised concerns about cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for being close to the beach, shops, and pubs, making it an ideal base for exploring Southwold. The convenience of the location is a recurring positive theme in the reviews.
The cottage is consistently described as comfortable, with comfortable beds and a cozy atmosphere. However, there were comments about a small second bedroom and a cot that was too small for an older baby, which suggests some room for improvement in comfort for all guests.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of quality appliances and a well-equipped kitchen. However, some guests noted a lack of larger pots and pans, a loose kitchen skirting board, and a desire for a stairgate, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness category accurately, and the score is set to null.

Fantastic location, lots of cafes and beach walks to enjoy. The cottage itself was very well equipped and beautifully presented. I especially appreciated the high quality bed linen and towels. The kitchen was a perfect space for family dinners and games. We would love to visit again.

Walking distance to the beach, shops and pubs. We did not have a problem with the parking as we did not move the car for 3 days whilst we were there but I can imagine in the height of Summer it might be tricky! Would 100% recommend and would 100% rebook. We stayed as a couple and one small dog.
