Best location we have ever had in terms of near to sea shops pubs etc. Perfect for large grown up family. Suggest a washing line for drying out swimming gear and towels every day (not good for environment or cost of tumble dryer) and improving the back yard with some flowers, pots and shrubs. Would recommend. Loved Southwold. Thanks!

The start was marred by a full kitchen bin that must have been missed by the cleaner and been there for a long time as it was oozing mould spores and decomposition froth. With an asthmatic guest it meant I had to send my family out to eat - really, really difficult on Good Friday without a reservation - while I cleaned and aired the kitchen dining room. When reported the next day, the agency were apologetic but I had to ask to be compensated for the lost evening family meal and the additional expense. The owners were responsive however (via the agency, no direct contact or apology) and the matter resolved amicably. I would happily stay again.
