Absolutely lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and appointed with lovely private patio and loads of space inside and out and literally a few metres from the nicest part of the front. Highly recommend

This property is located a minutes walk away from Southwold beach and the high street home to many decent pubs, butcher and bakeries. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'd need to cook a good meal and utilising the BBQ in the gorgeous flower filled garden was a treat. We had our daughter (high chair and cot provided by the property) and dog with us who also thoroughly enjoyed themselves!
