Guests say
Guests consistently praise the property for its superb location with easy access to the town and beach, offering stunning views. The apartment is celebrated for its high-quality furnishings, cleanliness, and comfort. The well-equipped kitchen and the selection of books are appreciated, contributing to an enjoyable stay. While there are mentions of scaffolding obstructing views and some maintenance issues, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests planning return visits.
Reviews frequently mention the property being very clean and well-presented, indicating high standards of cleanliness. However, a single mention of a need for a thorough clean prevents a perfect score.
The location is repeatedly highlighted as fantastic, with proximity to the beach and town centre. The sea views and easy access to local amenities contribute to the high score.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the property very comfortable and the beds of high quality. A few minor comments about a 'goldfish bowl' feeling and a damp smell in the bathroom slightly affect the score.
The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and guests are satisfied with the fixtures and fittings. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as scaffolding, a rusty fridge, and a leaky shower screen, which impact the score.
While guests express overall satisfaction with their stays, there are no specific references to thoughtful gestures or gifts provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.

We found the cottage to be clean and comfortable and a perfect base for walking in the Southwold Area. The lack of internet was mentioned by several previous guests but was not that important to us. Also the scaffolding for repairing the balcony of the apartment above but that really can't be helped. We have booked to come again.

Fantastic location across the road from the beach and in between the pier and high street area; parking was pretty busy on the beach road but we always managed to find somewhere close. We had seen a number of comments about the scaffolding outside of the apartment blocking the view but not sure what view it was blocking aside from a small restriction out of one of the bedroom windows, so we were happy that we had took a chance and ignored this as we didn't consider this to be a problem at all. Inside the apartment was a great size, particularly the living room and kitchen / dinning area - very light and airy. This was our first time visiting Southwold and the Suffolk coast area and would not hesitate in staying here again, particularly if we get the same weather!!!

Nice flat, good sea view from all but the bedroom window due to scaffolding which is not being moved anytime soon. It also blocks off the outside seating area. Kitchen well equipped. Comfy bed. Bathroom smells damp due to a leaky shower screen.
