“The property was very quiet and ideally located.”

It is well equipped with everything you require in the kitchen area, although the fridge could have been slightly bigger, but there is an individual freezer in a separate area. The garden area was a good size but it was starting to look tired and the furniture required cleaning before we could use it. The garden was also overgrown. The property was clean ,although some areas appeared not to have been cleaned for some time. We had an enjoyable stay in Southwold and the property was generally okay just a few things which could improve it.

“Furnishings, cutlery , crockery etc were good quality and well maintained.”

The garden area was beginning to feel tired....the furniture was beginning to rust and felt uninviting. Generally however it was a comfortable and inviting place to stay. This was our second stay here and we would be happy to stay again.

“Appreciate the need for ventilation hence the locked windows slightly ajar but would have liked the option of opening the window more at times.”

Also would like to be able to offload and load up the car by using the driveway , appreciate that the car cannot be parked there 24/7 because of the flats

Thank you for your feedback on Garden Cottage, and we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay. All the windows have window keys kept in each room which can be used to open them. Unfortunately the driveway is privately owned by another property so there is no right of way for vehicles. There is plenty of parking along the seafront right outside and in neighbouring roads. Our team are always available to provide local knowledge on the best place to leave your car if you are ever unsure. We hope to welcome you back to Best of Suffolk again soon. Property Owner

“Lovely break at Garden Cottage.”

Went for a long walk to Dunwich with the dogs, and they didn't want to get up the following morning!
