We enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is pleasant and clean. There is limited room in the upstairs bedroom. Good bathroom and shower and well equipped kitchen. Off road parking for one vehicle. The property is centrally located with a quality fish and chip shop nearby and a good pub, The Nelson, down the road. Thank you.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kipper Cottage! Tucked away in a quiet little courtyard just off East Street, it truly is a hidden gem in the heart of Southwold. The location couldn't be better—you are just a few minutes' walk from the beach, the pier, the lighthouse, and all the lovely boutique shops and cafes on the High Street. The cottage itself is beautifully laid out, clean, modern, and surprisingly spacious with its bright, open-plan living and kitchen area. It is incredibly well-equipped with everything you could possibly need for a self-catering break, and the beds are exceptionally comfortable. The ground-floor bedroom and bathroom (with a fantastic waterfall shower and great bath) are a brilliant addition, making it very accessible.

A fantastic place in an excellent location. Perfectly situated in the heart of town and with a dedicated parking space. Kipper cottage is kitted out well, it’s comfortable and is furnished well and to a nice spec too. We would recommend and stay again!

Fantastic property right in the heart of Southwold. Cannot beat the location, and the parking spot! Property was comfortable, secure, cosy, and perfect for our family and dog. Highly recommend, and can't wait to rebook. Special shout out to Nicki at Stay In Suffolk agency who was extremely helpful.

Spotless apartment, perfect location. Ideal location for Southwold town centre and seafront, private parking a real bonus, everything within minutes on foot. Would definitely use again. Thank you.

A brilliant little cottage, perfect location with off street parking. Bit of a tight squeeze for four people but can’t fault the facilities and homely feel. Would recommend.

Lovely modern cottage, based in a small cul-de-sac, in the centre of town and only a few minutes to the beach.

Great stay in this lovely little cottage in the centre of town. Had everything we needed for our weekend away. Clean and modern and 2 minutes walk from the beach. We’d happily stay here again!
