superb location 2 minutes from pier and beach, with expansive sea views from the bedrooms, comfortable for 9 adults and 5 children, plenty of room for dining and relaxing inside or in the large garden, the large lobby was particularly useful for getting everyone ready to go out and store our beach things

Saxon House is a charming family home that demands respect. It is comfortably furnished, well-equipped and the owners were responsive to any queries we had. The house is spacious enough to accommodate the allowed number of guests comfortably and it's location is ideal. It was perfect for our extended family holiday.

Saxon House is a wonderful location, so near the Pier and the centre of Southwold. Clean, comfortable and very spacious for a multi-generation holiday. The grandchildren had their own playroom for playing computer games. It was well equipped for a large number of guests and the en-suite bathrooms were really useful. Some of the decor was a biRead moret tired, and a couple of the showers were a bit temperamental. But on the whole Saxon House is a great base for a family holiday where you don't have to worry too much about treading sand into the hall! And we managed to get 4 large cars on the drive - useful as the road outside gets parked up early in the day. Hide

The house is in a great location and is a really good size for a large family or couples. The property itself could benefit from a few improvements to all the bathrooms. Some of the radiators didnt work. The kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of plates, bowls, mugs, glasswear etc. there were two microwaves, two washing machines but only oneRead more average size fridge. Overall we really enjoyed our stay but the property would benefit from a few improvements. Hide

Everything was fine at Saxon House. My reason for saying it is unlikely that I will book with you again is because we went to Aldeburgh last year and Southwold this year and want to go somewhere different next time.

Excellent house in an excellent location. We were a group of twelve cyclists and it suited us very well. Lovely big dining room and lounge, where we could all congregate together, other rooms if you wanted some quiet time plus every bedroom was en-suite, another bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Such a lovely spacious property. Loads of bedrooms, tonnes of space downstairs inc good sized dining room to accommodate everyone! And some lovely sitting rooms - all perfect with loads of comfy sofas. The kitchen is vast and very well equipped. The garden is a good size with lots of garden furniture available and cushions too! And the garden reallRead morey is properly enclosed so our dog could not escape at all! There was no BBQ but it was easy enough to buy disposable ones and use them very safely on the concrete in front of the shed. The pier is no more than 1 minute's walk away. If you cannot park in the driveway, use the street. Pertfect! Hide
