Spread over the first and second-floor, the accommodation is surprisingly spacious and stylishly presented, making sure its guests enjoy a relaxing and memorable holiday. The welcoming sitting room has traditional features such as an ornamental fireplace, original sash windows and period wood panelling and with a generous seating area and windows overlooking the high street below, the space is beautifully bright and airy. The rustic kitchen is fully fitted with everything that is needed to create fabulous food for the whole family and has an attractive feature beamed ceiling and sash windows. There is even a separate dining room, a really inviting space where guests can pull up a chair and sit around the elegant dining table and tuck into delicious, decadent meals together.

A great addition to the accommodation is a snug on the second-floor, where the kids can slope off and enjoy some telly and chill time while the adults can enjoy grown-up time together.

    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.

    Just a couple of comments - new shower is brilliant but upstairs bath and handheld shower could do with a shower curtain and now we are all adults we find that the 2 single beds in the top left hand bedroom are not big enough - rather narrow and short and we are not big people!

    Our 12th stay in various houses in Southwold. We found the property cold on occasion for my elderly parents and the shower/hot water was a little unreliable. We loved the main sitting room and added to the glasses collection by purchasing from the charity chop below. Thank you
