    I booked the house for a weekend to relax with girlfriends and the house is perfectly proportioned to do just that. We had a lovely evening eating and drinking at the large kitchen table and a relaxing afternoon in front of the log burner after a long walk on Southwold beach (15min drive away) and through the gorgeous town. Beds were comfy and the house was clean, well presented and designed. I would absolutely re-book for a visit with my children. Plenty of things to explore locally (including the lovely beach) and so many good restaurants to chose from! The only thing to consider is that it is very hard to find a taxi locally. Most of the numbers in the guest book were no longer in service and despite our best efforts to find one we had to drive to our dinner reservation and limit the wine!

  • David

    The owners accommodated us outstandingly. The house was 5 ⭐️ and we’ve all said we would book again.

  • Bella

    Fabulous location - close to lots of beaches and we loved that you could walk out of the back garden up on to the heath. In the house everything was really clean; the beds were comfortable, loads of crockery and glasses. Having the log burner was lovely too for when it got a bit cooler in the evening. Helpful info in the house folder of good pubs, restaurants, etc.
