A cosy cottage close to the A12 so easy to get to the coast or other areas. Very steep stairs up to first floor bedroom.

We had a great weekend at the cottage. Highly recommend the cottage as long as those going up stairs are fit enough. I did bang my head a few times. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms clean. Host provided a lot of essentials that many others don’t and they were M& S and Waitrose so shows they don’t skimp. Thank you very nice touch. Garden kept the pets amused and it being enclosed was perfect. Ate at local pub and food was good too.Walls nearby were good for dogs, Southwold beach was fab didn’t see any litter on it at all and the coffee bar in the middle of the promenade served good coffee. 10/10 for the host was fabulous
