LIVING/DINING ROOM
A sociable space for family holidays and short breaks, furnished with a couple of chairs, a sofabed (you’re welcome to use it with your own linen for one of four guests), a coffee table, and well-stacked shelves so you can enjoy books, puzzles or books provided; step back in time and watch a video from the selection; bring your own DVDs to watch; catch up on favourite TV shows; or play your music on the CD player. 
There’s a table and chairs for meals at home at the kitchen side of the room (and takeaways within walking distance if you don’t feel like cooking!).
Wooden stairs with a handrail rise to the first floor.

KITCHEN
An arch and hatch space gives an open-plan feel to this kitchen which is equipped with the basics needed for catering at home – an electric oven and four-ring hob, a toaster, a kettle, an under-counter fridge with an ice compartment, and a washing machine.

CONSERVATORY
A lovely sunny spot to sit at any time of the year with a door into the garden and a path to take you around the back to the parking area, convenient for cyclists to wheel bikes to store safely in the garden.  The conservatory is simply furnished with a couple of chairs, a drop leave table, and space for your footwear, pushchairs etc.

The house was really homely, although it is quite basic the beds were very comfy and it had everything we needed. We loved walking in to Southwold each day and it was a great location for exploring the Suffolk Coast.

This was in a great location for access to Southwold and the beaches. The house was perfect for us in size and has everything you need as a base for a beach holiday. The only downside was the traffic noise from the road to the front, this was very busy up until late at night.

We had a nice stay in this small cottage. Great location with good access to Southwold. There were a few issues with the downstairs toilet and fridge when we arrived. But they were sorted out, ideally they could have been addressed a bit quicker though. The place has all that you need but appliances and technology are a little dated.

Logement très agréable, très lumineux, dans un environnement calme avec des départs pour de nombreuses balades à proximité. Un bonheur ! Stay in Suffolk s’est montré très serviable et réactif.
