Guests say
The Dunes in Southwold receives high praise for its beautiful decor, cleanliness, and prime location with easy beach access. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and the property's suitability for both small and large groups, including pets. While some find certain bedrooms small and the exterior less appealing, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests rebooking for future stays.
Reviews consistently mention that the property is extremely clean and well maintained, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The property's location is frequently highlighted as fantastic, with direct access to the dunes and beach, and proximity to Southwold and Walberswick, making it ideal for guests.
The property is generally regarded as comfortable, with a few remarks about small bedrooms and a hot upstairs room. However, the overall sentiment on comfort is very positive.
Facilities are well-received with a well-equipped kitchen, games, and a bar area. Some suggestions for improvement include better garden furniture and a sports subscription, but these are minor compared to the overall positive feedback.
While the reviews reflect a thoughtful arrangement of the property, there is no specific mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under this category, hence the score is set to null.

) wedding anniversary. Itâs a lovely house in a great position for walking, and my young grandson was especially appreciative of the big Christmas tree that had been put in the lounge. It made everything look very festive! Itâs a bit out on a limb (as indicated in the description of the property) so if youâre not fairly fit you will have to get in the car to get anywhere. It is spacious and well equipped. So often my experience with holiday homes is that the quantity of cutlery and plates etc is equivalent to the number of guests, but here there was plenty available. The beds were spacious and comfortable. Itâs very suitable for anyone with mobility issues with its ground floor facilities and step free access. The shower downstairs is a cubicle with with a small step into it which I managed with no problem, although a grab rail would have been useful to have. But thatâs a minor issue in what was a lovely weekend away.

Location is amazing with fantastic views and perfect for walking into Southwold and getting the ferry to Walberswick. The house has everything we needed and was spotless. Thank you for a fantastic stay.
