Overview
Property code: OC-SBR

Escape to the coast with a group of friends or family plus one four-legged friend at this traditional and homely coastal property. Enjoy the buzz of the coastal town of Southwold while having the option to venture into the surrounding Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for some tranquillity amongst nature. Spend your evenings in the cosy lounge or dining alfresco in the garden.

Step inside to find a comfortable lounge which is decorated with tones of blue and has two plump sofas, an armchair plus a TV. The kitchen/diner has a fitted corner unit with more coastal colours throughout plus a dining table with chairs for four guests. Additional seating can be found in the garden room which boasts a sunny window seat which is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. There is also a ground-floor bathroom. Upstairs is another bathroom plus two bedrooms - a super-king and two twins. Outside is an enclosed courtyard with furniture.

Stay in the heart of Southwold and start your day with a stroll around the shops, cafes and restaurants before discovering the historical landmarks – like Southwold Cannons, the pier and the lighthouse (all within 0.5 miles). Spend a day relaxing on the golden sand and shingle Southwold Beach (500 metres) which is lined by colourful beach huts. Or get competitive with a game at the Golf Club (1 mile).

Very comfortable and spacious cottage, but the main attraction is very close proximity to the beach front - literally 3 minutes walk. Also a good pub just few minutes walk away, and all the High Street shops within 8-10 minutes walking distance.

Lovely location and beautifully clean and spacious. But the furniture could do with an update to do justice to the property. But we had a comfy and happy stay.

Overall we were very happy with the property and its location. The equipment levels, linen etc very good and the house was clean. The only negative was that on arrival the black bin outside was full to overflowing. There was a broken glass laying on the top of the rubbish and lots of flies. As the bin was not emptied until Wednesday this was not paRead morerticularly pleasant. Hide

The property was an ideal location and very clean and comfy. The only two issues was no idea how the microwave works and the hot water didnt last long. I and my daughter had hotel water but my husband had to have a cold shower. Would have been nice to know that it can only take two showers!

Grace House 72 Stradbroke Rd Problems with house: 1. Electric cooker oven didnt work, so we couldnt cook planned menus. 2. Downstairs toilet is difficult to flush Additional problems relating to provisions in the house: 1. The bottom sheet on the double bed did not tuck in at the top, bottom or sides, it was laid on the bed- very uncomfortable untRead moreil replaced at our request (thank you SS). Really we should not have had to ask, rather basic not to make a bed up that poorly 2. By way of observation the bedlinen was generally extremely thin/cheap looking. The double duvet hung out the bottom of the cover and did not fill the sides 3. There was one single bin liner in the rubbish bin only. No spares. We had to buy a roll or put rubbish in an unlined bin ( we bought and remover the roll) 4. There was only one soap (a dispenser in the kitchen) in the entire house, none in the bathrooms, only hand gel. No shampoo etc at all 5. There was a dribble of bathroom cleaner in an almost empty dispenser 6. One toilet roll in each bathroom- for 6 people for a week, not very welcoming. 7. 3 dish wash tabs for the week, ditto 8. An empty clingfilm box 9. No picnic boxes or food savers of any description We rather felt that a combination of the above problems rather let down the otherwise charming Grace House. It made us feel disinclined to return to that house. Certainly we would prefer to stay somewhere where the changeover and set up is not done by the people who prepared Grace House for us on this occasion. Also, it should be very clear what is being supplied and if its going to be adequate for the length of stay booked. Hide

Generally, property is lovely and good location. We had a few niggles which brought the scores lower: half-full mug in microwave, some mugs were dirty, crockery and cutlery felt slimy so we washed everything before use, the grill pan was very greasy and dirty, towels were old and thin and some towels had brown stains. We also cleaned the filter in Read morethe dishwasher and recharged the salt - the cap was caked on and had clearly not been done recently. Also the filter in the vacuum cleaner was clogged (we cleaned it). Cobwebs were in the fireplace and on windows. For the price we expected better cleaning and regular maintenance. Hide
