Enjoy the Suffolk coast at this stylish one-bedroom apartment tucked away in a quiet part of Southwold, close to the beach and everything in town, it’s perfect for a romantic getaway. The ground-floor flat has superb views across the common and a shared courtyard for enjoying drinks in the sunshine.

Sitting within a pretty building in mature gardens, the flat is sophisticated yet homely, with relaxed colours, unique artworks by well-known artists, and high-end fittings, and it’s step-free except for two steps to the entrance hall. Enjoy mealtimes at the dining table in the bay window of the elegant sitting/dining room with lovely views, then relax on the comfy sofas with the TV or a good film on; the kitchen has everything you need to cook delicious meals for evenings in. Have a good night’s sleep in the stylish double bedroom in relaxing colours, it has great storage for your holiday garb, there’s also a bathroom with a shower over the bath. Take your morning cuppa or evening tipple out to the shared courtyard to soak up the sun.

Go out on walks from your front door to explore the town and visit the historic lighthouse. Head to the beach, there are two to choose from, the popular main beach is next to the Pier (less than 500 metres away) and the slightly wilder Denes beach, which is perfect for flying kites and surfing. Wander to the harbour (1 mile) where you can catch a ferry across the creek to Walberswick, home of crabbing. Go to a showing at the town’s independent cinema and stop for dinner at one of the excellent eateries on your way home. Gin lovers will enjoy visiting Adnams distillery, and everyone will be fascinated by the lifeboat museum.

The positives are a brilliant location, very well equipped kitchen and a nice welcome pack. On entering the whole apartment smelled musty. The decor is tired and lots of cobwebs especially the kitchen ceiling. This was disappointing given the price. The couches in the lounge and very low and uncomfortable. This will be an issue if there Read moreare mobility concerns. The bed is the hardest Ive ever slept in and only a double. We left with sore backs. Overall disappointing and not value for money.

Far View One is in a great location, close to all the amenities but in a quiet area. The apartment is very spacious with ample storage space. The welcome pack was a lovely touch.

Location perfect for town, common and walk to the harbour. Sea also not far away. Apartment nicely and tastefully equipped. Being on the ground floor was good and my husbands mobility scooter to be in the garden.

Overall we liked it a lot including position and design. I'd have a preferred a larger bed and would remove the dresser in favour of arm chairs. The fitted wardrobes were splendid. The low level fridge in the kitchen is difficult to navigate.

This property is supposed to be 4* Consequently we would expect more than one cheap toilet roll and 3 dishwasher tablets!!. It does not represent value for money. We have had better properties for less money with other companies.

Southwold is a great destination and there are plenty of country walks around it. Good local places to visit are The Pier, Walderswick, Aldeburgh, Snape Maltings, Dunwich Beach, Dunwich Heath. The Southwold Lighthouse is worth a tour after which you can spend your voucher on a pint of Adnams in The Sole Bay Inn. If you don't like Adnams you are outRead more of luck! Hide

All the above I wrote is true and sounds rather damning. However, I do think this property can be made more comfortable with the suggestions I have made to the owners. A king sized bed with a comfortable mattress would be ideal. The location is great for Southwold and there is a lovely view from the lounge with some stunning sunsets.

Great location ideal for the town and amenities. A good base to explore the surrounding area. Southwold has great eating places but in high season may get very busy. If parking needed to be shared this could present a problem. Overall we would recommend this property.

A superb apartment in a great location. Comfortable, clean, well equipped, with amazing art works. Wonderful view from the large bay window across the garden and the common beyond. Convenient for the town, harbour and sea front. A car parking space is an added bonus. Would certainly recommend this accommodation.
