This is a wonderful house for friends who wanted their own room . Very clean and welcoming. Well equipped for 5 of us to eat and drink. We didnt cook as Sole Bay is at the end of the road. House is in great position for the promenade and the shops. Great cafes. Afternoon tea at the Swan is the best Ive ever had.We had a relaxing 3 night stay. WouldRead more definitely come again.Thank you for the welcome bottle of fizz. It was lovely. One criticism of Southwold is no evident dog poo bins and therefore some irresponsible owners feel its ok to leave dog poo on the pavements . We are all dog owners and found this quite shocking.

We had the best pizzas ever at The Lord Nelson. Our daughter and son in law enjoyed an excellent meal at Sole Bay Inn. Multiple bathrooms was great, as were the lovely soft huge towels & sumptuous bedding. Comfy beds too. Beautifully presented, it was just right. We hope to return, many thanks.

This was our 3rd year staying in Tall cottage. We are a group of 9 ladies who have been visiting Southwold for our annual get together for the past 13 years. We find Tall cottage ideally situated, close to the beach and all other amenities. It is very well equipped with everything you need and plenty of seating both in the lounge and dining area soRead more that we can all sit together comfortably. Hide

Our second stay in this house. It suited our 3 generation hol well. Despite poor weather we were able to enjoy Southwold as usual, in fact it seemed easier to get tables in several of the pubs. No such thing as the wrong weather, only the wrong clothing! Only extra needed was information on rubbish collection timetable, as website would not give Read morethis for no 52 and much easier if a chart was displayed. Hide
