    “We had a great stay.”

    Perfect bolt hole for us to stay and meet with family in Southwold. Property looked as expected and described. Kitchen was a little lacking on equipment if you wanted to cook a meal there. Some sweet wrappers in 2 of the bedrooms that hadn’t been disposed of… maybe there as it had not been hoovered?!?! No hoover in the property so when coming to tidy up after our dog this was not the easiest with just a broom and dustpan. On entering the property the first time a slight smell in the living ...

    Perfect bolt hole for us to stay and meet with family in Southwold. Property looked as expected and described. Kitchen was a little lacking on equipment if you wanted to cook a meal there. Some sweet wrappers in 2 of the bedrooms that hadn’t been disposed of… maybe there as it had not been hoovered?!?! No hoover in the property so when coming to tidy up after our dog this was not the easiest with just a broom and dustpan. On entering the property the first time a slight smell in the living room….maybe a doggy accident?!?! All very small issues that didn’t stop us from enjoying our stay. Thank you.

The property

Driftwood is a marvellous pet-friendly semi-detached home in the seaside town of Kessingland in Suffolk. With hot tubs in the garden, a woodburning stove inside, and a communal games room, this property has got a bit of something for everyone, making it ideal for a family getaway. Enter your new holiday abode and meet the place where you will spend so much time debating whether to get up, but knowing deep down you’re too settled. That will be because the sofa and two armchairs have drawn you in with the Smart TV on the wall. Flick through Freeview until you spot a favourite show to make it just like home by signing into one of the apps for a binge-watch. Eventually, the kitchen will drag you in, so let the inner chef take over and cook something delicious for the family. Plate it up on the dining table with a cheeky glass of wine from the wine chiller for the adults. Let the food digest in style by letting the sun hit your face in the hot tub. After a dip, let the competitiveness take over in the games room. When that takes the energy from you, let the bath soak up your muscles to prepare for another day of fun. In the three double bedrooms, you can carry on your series binge with the Smart TVs until you drift away dreaming about what else is next on your holiday. Enjoy all of this and more by booking Driftwood. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1171881, 1171883, 1171884, and 1171888, sleeping together up to 20 guests
