  The house was even better than we had expected .. absolutely perfect for 6 adults, 2 teenagers, an 8 year old and 1 well behaved dog. The occasion was an important family one … my 80th birthday(!), so a delicious roast dinner was prepared and cooked in the amazingly well-equipped kitchen, by 1 couple with assistance from extra hands for peeling etc. Those in the house, as well as further family of 5 adults and a 4 and 2 year old, staying nearby all ate comfortably in the dining room and breakfast area. There was an enormous amount of space for children to play safely, or watch tv, allowing the adults to relax and thoroughly enjoy themselves. The weather was chilly but bright and we all walked to the Harbour Inn along the beach, dunes and track, as well as exploring the town. The house was ideally situated a short walk from everywhere .. the pier, the beach and the shops. Perfect in every way. We will definitely come to Southwold House again and have already recommended it to several friends. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to share your magnificent property!

  Lovely cottage in a prime Southwold spot.

  Cosy enough for myself and two children. There was an issue with the dishwasher which got stuck on a cycle overnight and leaked on the floor. Everything had to be handwashed as it wasn't clean. (Comments had been written in the visitors book by previous guests about the dishwasher not cleaning for them too.) The cold tap in the kitchen was leaking and without draining board facilities this was becoming a bit of a worktop issue. In addition, the shower tray in the bathroom was close to overflowing due to slow drainage. No doubt linked to the age of the house drains; but could potentially become a problem at some point. I reported all issues to the holiday company and they have said they will act on the feedback. I hope it's sorted before the next letting.

  My family and I enjoy our annual visit to Southwold, this year's was made even more memorable by our stay in Southwold house. Everything about the house is really great. The decor is beautiful, enhanced by the attention to detail, lots of pictures etc. The large kitchen, very well equipped. Very comfortable lounge plenty of seating. The master bedroom is delightful, so spacious, and well appointed. Every room is furnished to a high standard. Bedding is very good, lovely, good sized soft towels. We all loved the house, definitely the best we have stayed in over the last 20 odd years and hope to return next year.

  There is nothing negative to say about Southwold House! It's a beautiful house with comfortable furnishings throughout and set in a perfect location close to the sea. It's a large house and we were concerned it would feel a bit chilly for a winter break however we were all very cosy and comfortable. All six bedrooms were of a good size with comfortable beds etc. The kitchen is well stocked and a great sociable area, we made a full roast dinner with no problem at all. There are 3 other downstairs living areas and we made use of all of them. I would definitely return to this property.

  Well packaged house extremely convenient location in town.

  Internally it was clean - though the oven interior was extremely dirty -and tidy Only real issue was a lack of window cleaning that required immediate attention and the neglected gardens f & r. Over our stay the house functioned well apart from a dishwasher that ran but failed to clean on any of its 5 settings inspite of salt and rinse aid being filled and thexradio was hopeless. I'd say the shower head needs attention to its mounting as it slipped in use and the shower door should be supplemented with a fixed panel to reduce splash. We enjoyed our stay and would book again.
