Guests say
The Folly in Southwold is praised for its ideal location, comfort, and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the proximity to the town and beach, the quiet atmosphere, and the private patio. The property is well-equipped, with special mentions of the comfortable fold-away beds and well-designed space. The parking is noted to be tight but useful.
Reviews consistently mention that The Folly is clean and tidy, with fresh bedding and towels, contributing to a spotless and well-maintained impression.
The property's location is highly valued for its closeness to the town, beach, and amenities, while also being quiet, making it an ideal base for exploring Southwold.
Guests find the fold-away beds surprisingly comfortable and the property spacious and airy. The sofas and shower are also commended, although a minor suggestion for a bedside table was made.
The Folly is well-equipped with a good supply of kitchen utensils and a fabulous shower. However, some guests did not cook, and the parking space is noted to be quite small.
While one review mentions a pleasant surprise of a Christmas tree, panettone, and champagne upon arrival, there is no consistent mention of such gestures to accurately assess thoughtfulness across all stays.

Mrs Pole
This cottage was spotlessly clean and very centrally located. Parking space also very useful. Well equipped with fabulous shower and ingenious folding beds which were so comfy. Parking space and patio also a real benefit. Had a fabulous stay, very comfy and peaceful. Would thoroughly recommend.

We had a nice stay in The Folly, we were very lucky with the weather which makes for an even better stay. Beds were quite comfortable and all bedding/towels and tea towels were clean and fresh. Would have liked a little bedside table to put my phone, drink and specs on. A good supply of kitchen utencils/crockery were supplied should you decide to cook. Perfectly situated for the town, beach and harbour. We stayed for 7 nights but think it is more suitable for a 3/4 day break, The parking space is small, we took our MIni but a Corsa size car would fit.
