The house was even better than we had expected .. absolutely perfect for 6 adults, 2 teenagers, an 8 year old and 1 well behaved dog. The occasion was an important family one my 80th birthday(!), so a delicious roast dinner was prepared and cooked in the amazingly well-equipped kitchen, by 1 couple with assistance from extra hands for peeling etc.Read more Those in the house, as well as further family of 5 adults and a 4 and 2 year old, staying nearby all ate comfortably in the dining room and breakfast area. There was an enormous amount of space for children to play safely, or watch tv, allowing the adults to relax and thoroughly enjoy themselves. The weather was chilly but bright and we all walked to the Harbour Inn along the beach, dunes and track, as well as exploring the town. The house was ideally situated a short walk from everywhere .. the pier, the beach and the shops. Perfect in every way. We will definitely come to Southwold House again and have already recommended it to several friends. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to share your magnificent property! Hide

There is nothing negative to say about Southwold House! It's a beautiful house with comfortable furnishings throughout and set in a perfect location close to the sea. It's a large house and we were concerned it would feel a bit chilly for a winter break however we were all very cosy and comfortable. All six bedrooms were of a good size with comfortRead moreable beds etc. The kitchen is well stocked and a great sociable area, we made a full roast dinner with no problem at all. There are 3 other downstairs living areas and we made use of all of them. I would definitely return to this property. Hide

Spacious with lots of rooms to get away when needed but also large sitting room, kitchen and dining room when we were all together. Smart, well located and friendly house. Perfect for our weeks holiday en famille!

I booked Southwold House to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary with family and friends. We have been coming to Southwold nearly every year since 2011 and Southwold House is the best accommodation we've experienced. In an excellent location, it is very well appointed and equipped, with plenty of room for all.

The property was lovely and was everything that was stated on the website. A few things were noted though: The ensuite bathroom needs a mirror. The sink plug in the first floor bathroom leaks and doesn't hold the water in the sink. The first floor double bedroom doesn't have any drawer space It would be good for the property to have coasters - weRead more couldn't find any and were worried about leaving marks on the tables. There wasn't any spare loo roll & not enough was left in some bathrooms to get us through our first night! Hide
