We had a wonderful time here. The house felt spacious and the location was great. Having the bedrooms downstairs in the heatwave was great to keep cool at night :)

This was a perfect base - everything on your doorstep (local tesco and coop), as well as boutique shops, restuarants, bars and pubs, then to boot the beach was only 5 minutes walk (down steps). If you wanted to, you could park your car and then then not bother with it until the end of your stay. It was a perfect long weekend. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at Camilla Cottage, the place was clean and comfortable. We all had a great night's sleep and had everything we needed for our stay. We were close to everything, couldn't ask for more, we would definitely return when back to Southwold

We had a lovely couple of nights at Camellia cottage. It is right in the centre of Southwold tucked behind the high street. Great location for getting about. The accommodation worked well for our family and felt really spacious. It’s an upside down house, which our kids really loved. We would definitely stay again. Thank you

I stayed here for four weeks and had an absolutely wonderful time in Southwold. The house is even prettier than in the profile photo — the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s tucked away in a charming English-style courtyard just off the main street, so it feels peaceful and hidden while still being very central. The house was spotless when I arrived. There is a spacious courtyard garden on the ground floor, a lovely balcony on the first floor, and a large, comfortable living room. Despite having neighbours nearby, it was very quiet throughout my stay. I’m very sensitive about mattresses and usually struggle when travelling — but I slept really well here. The mattress appears to be a high-quality pocket-sprung mattress from John Lewis, which was such a pleasant surprise. During my stay I briefly had a question about the heating, and the hosts were fantastic — very responsive, kind and helpful. They explained everything clearly over the phone and the issue was resolved straight away,
