We loved the location of Ivy Cottage as it was close to the Common, shops, pubs and the beach. The lounge was large enough for 5 adults and 2 children but unfortunately, the kitchen was not! However, it had everything we needed in terms of equipment. The outside dining space was used every day (the weather allowed for this!) and the shed was realRead morely useful as we were able to store all of our beach things in it. The downstairs bathroom was a good size and there was plenty of hot water. The agents were told of the blocked drain in the shower upstairs. We would certainly use Ivy Cottage again whilst the grandchildren are still young enough to fit the bunk beds! We all had a wonderful family holiday and Southwold didn't disappoint. Of course, the weather helped, but even if the weather is bad, there is so much to do that you could never get bored. Hide

Excellent location, very close to beach and town. Comfortable beds and sofa and nice outside space with large table and chairs. For dog owners; note its not enclosed between back door and outside enclosed area and no grass, but can leave top of stable door open rather than whole door for unreliable dogs or small children. . 2 minute walk to grassyRead more area. Lovely walks close by. Hide

Living fairly locally we visit Southwold regularly so to take the opportunity to stay in our favourite town for a week at Christmas was very special - it didnt disappoint . Ivy cottage is in a great location, close to the shops, pubs and beach and free parking across the road was easy ( May have to park anywhere you can if arriving earlier in the dRead moreay but you can easily get a space after dark once day trippers go home) . Ivy cottage fitted our budget perfectly for the time of year. A small Christmas tree and festive decorations were decorating the cottage, and the living room with its large L-shaped sofa, though small, was very comfortable and cosy. Cooking Christmas dinner in the small kitchen was a challenge as very little worktop space and we struggled to find room for all our food! Luckily we had our electric camping fridge with us and we made use of the shed outside. However kitchen equipment was good quality (sharp knives, lovely wine glasses and champagne flutes, plenty of crockery and cutlery, great saucepan and fry pan set). Beds very comfortable and plenty hot water for showers. If you need to get out then the Nelson is the next perfect living room. Hide

Ivy Cottage is in a perfect location and fabulous for a winter break. The cottage was warm and welcoming when we arrived on a very dark, cold evening. The lamps and heating were on with an added bonus of a Christmas Tree!! The cottage appears small from the outside however had a separate dining and living area as well as two full bathrooms. The bunRead morekbeds in the top bedroom are fine for children however using the bottom bunk for an adult was manageable but not ideal. A generous welcome pack is something I use as an indicator of the level of consideration the owner has and this one did not disappoint (as with the Molten Brown products). I've had the good fortune to stay in many Southwold cottages over the years and I would put this in the top five, especially for a winter break. Hide

One of my favourite holiday cottages. A lovely cosy, warm cottage, situated on a quiet road. Plenty of room for my family of 5 adults and one dog ! A treat to return to after exploring Southwold and the surrounding areas. Beautifully decorated and furnished. Very comfy beds, great touches such as quality handsoaps and moisturisers, and a smallRead more welcome hamper, containing quality treats. A secure outside area for our Border Terrier. The cottage was in an excellent location, with easy walking distance to the beaches, town, pier and cliff top walks. I would definitely recommend and a cottage I would return to, whenever we explore Southwold again. Hide

We have enjoyed a lovely family weekend celebrating parents 60th anniversary. Everybody has commented on the comfort of the beds. Southwold is lovely, grand children loved the arcade and we all enjoyed the fish and chips.

The property (Ivy Cottage) was fabulous. It was just as described on your website and spotlessly clean. Centrally located, yet quiet, extremely comfortable, and very well provisioned, this cottage provided us with a real home-from- home in lovely Southwold. Thank you!
