A wonderfully appointed gem of a cottage situated close to the town and seafront. Well equipped and clean. Lots of little extra touches that we really appreciated. The parking space was a bonus being so close to all amenities.

We had a lovely stay. Suffolk Cottage is very well equipped, spacious, cosy and comfortable. Everything you need is there. Excellent location for the seafront, pier and town centre, the parking space is very handy. We would love to return and certainly recommend.

Suffolk Cottage is towards the end of Victoria Street, very close to the beach, shops, restaurants and pubs, all of which are within easy walking distance. The street is normally difficult to park in as it is used by staff and guests from The Swan Hotel as well as the public, but the cottage comes with its own parking space, so not a problem. It isRead more a spacious, well-maintained property with all of the facilities you need. Helen went out of her way to find out the age of the children staying so that the right toys and games could be provided, a really nice touch. Unlike other holiday cottages, all of the usual kitchen items (tea, coffee, washing powder, dishwasher tablets etc) were provided, and the electric oven and gas hob easily coped with our large christmas turkey. Overall, it was a really good place to stay and relax, and so much better, and more convenient than other places we have stayed at over the years in Southwold. Hide

We had a really enjoyable week and so many things were greatly appreciated (the lovely travel cot, high chair, kitchen flowers, luxurious soaps and shampoos, towels and soft bedding and the provision of enough dishwasher and washing machine capsules, charcoal for our two BBQs and the welcome pack of provisions). The location is great and the parkinRead moreg was a bonus. We very quickly relaxed into a home from home routine and after a week felt we had been there for ages and didnt want to go home. Everything was so easy and safe for our smallest family member, aged 7 months, who loved the big bath, and exploring the very clean floors. I could go on it was great, and early access on Saturday was much appreciated. Thank you, Helen. You have created a tasteful and luxurious home that anyone should love. Hide
