  We have been renting houses in Southwold for many years, but this was the first time we have stayed at Walton House.

  The dining room could seat all of us and guests we had over (13 people!), and we then all sat comfortably in the lounge. It's rare to find such spacious accommodation. Whilst the stairs to the top floor were a bit of a challenge for the oldest (89-year-old) member of the party, he did manage them. I would suggest reconfiguring the zip-and-link beds on the first floor to two singles, as the other, spritelier, members of the party were all couples, and required double beds. We enjoyed, and made use of, the upper snug, including for flute practice. The central position in town is superb, and pre-breakfast swims, and a nip to Tescos for the smallest thing were easy, plus fish and chips opposite and H&J ice creams practically next door (as well as The Nelson). It is not the most perfectly-presented house we have stayed in, but conversely, this gave it great character, as ultra-modernised properties can be a bit too much, particularly when you have sand stuck to your feet from the beach. This is one of the best of the many houses we have stayed in, despite the oddities such as a very small yard, being able to hear people in the charity shop below, the shop getting stock from the shed in the courtyard, and some of the original door catches no longer closing properly (which can make it difficult to keep a dog off the beds, although stair gates were provided). We will be booking for next year!

  We did have a very enjoyable holiday at The Peaches.

  We have been here once before in April and will probably come again next year. The beds were very comfortable and in general the place was very warm and cosy but, and these aren't complaints but comments/observations on Peach House. The area around the showers where water had come through needs looking at as it is taking the paint off the walls. The toilet seat in the main bedroom is coming away and needs fixing. I know they had trouble with one of the showers which does show up on the kitchen ceiling quite badly. I also feel that the TV is very old and really needs replacing with a bigger screen. I know we don't go on holiday to watch TV but nearly everywhere awe have stayed in the last few years has a much better TV. None of these things would put us off going back again but I really feel the time is right to give the place a makeover and sort out some of these problems. I shan't be giving it a bad review as I would like to go there again next year. Thank you

  The holiday house was just what we wanted for a family festive stay in Southwold, thank you.

  I did request the king size bed be separated, but when we arrived it had not been. I found it difficult to navigate all the different companies responsible for the property, lots of emails from lots of companies involved. A couple of things that really need addressing is the kitchen tap which is loose and the on/off turn is so difficult, it is going to come off in someone’s hand very soon? Both bathrooms are a good size, it really would be useful to have a shower over the bath and a shower curtain, most people want a shower and with that many in the house it would have worked much better to have two. However we had a lovely time and it worked really well with plenty of living space. On a separate note I did not put the rubbish out as the collection is not until Friday I checked the county council website. Also with it being so windy I did not want to leave it out in case in went over, that would have been terrible for the street.

  A three generational holiday very much enjoyed by all - the house was very comfortable and its town centre location made everything so easily accessible.

  The layout was perfect for a very active family and bed linens and towels were a generous good quality. There were some great days out only a short distance away and the cars were hardly used. On arrival we discovered the Pier with it's great sense of humour slot machines, subsequently the ferry to Walberswick with hours of crabbing accompanied with fish and chips proved to be a great day out . A tour of the Lighthouse was very enjoyable particularly for the kids, always returning to a great, satisfying holiday home. The only downside for us, travelling from the north, was the Friday changeover which involved a very long slow journey in heavy, traffic which, had we known, we could have planned by travelling very early in the morning or in the evening.

  Really it was great and to nit pick seems unjust.

  I wanted arm rests on the trendy and otherwise comfortable sofa in the extension. The Range oven needs an instruction guide. (Couldn't get the grill to work). Toilet Beds were very comfortable. All the kitchen white goods were high standard and plenty of crockery etc. Wow was the first comment to be entered into the Guest Book and I would echo that. Great location, off road parking plentiful for numerous vehicles. Walking from the door great. Pub good as well. TV/Games room other side of house away from chillax room/extension ideal . Well designed house and outside sitting area.
