Great location.
Super 5 bedroom house close to the beach, lighthouse and town centre. Parking is difficult. Getting out by 9am is tricky especially with having to strip and bag up bedding and towels. But a great house and location. Thank you.

James’ Cottage
Very simple and efficient on-line booking process. Note - the web listing for this property only describes 4 bedrooms but extra details accurately reflect the 5 bedrooms - I nearly missed looking at this property as a result! Lovely property in a perfect central location - with excellent facilities. Good bathrooms, kitchen and technology throughout house (Alexa, TVs in all bedrooms with Netflix etc) - we need to come back for longer to make proper use of it! Southwold was as gorgeous as ever with fantastic sunny warm September weather. We were a 3 generation family remembering 1 year since the loss of husband/Dad/Granddad. It was impossible to be too sad and we had lovely times remembering a loved family member.
