Mr Binyon
This was a magnificent house - comfortable, interesting, roomy, and magnificently situated. The old beams, quirky lay-out and artistic pictures gave a feeling of comfort, culture and historical interest. Everything worked well. My family had a wonderful time there. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a wonderful time in Southwold.

1 Queen Street is an ideal town location, with shops in the same street and the beach only a short walk away; it is also close for walks on the Common and to the harbour. The accommodation is very comfortable, plenty of room for our 6 adults and 2 under-fives. The house itself is an architectural marvel which has gone through various refits in its long life, and has become an outstanding holiday property.

This was a beautiful venue that gave us lots of room and no one felt on top of each other. My daughter had a wonderful birthday there and we spent 3 days using the house as a base and spending time there in the evenings. I would definitely go back, the location was brilliant and the house was so homely.
