Sea Mouse Cottage

As advertised.

Can sleep 6 but would be a push given only one bathroom and that it’s downstairs. The new kitchen is lovely and well placed the the terraced house. But if you are to have 6 people you need more than a mini fridge in the kitchen. Lovely kitchen and well stocked just a tiney tiny fridge. Drinks fridge is larger! Well placed for town. Washing machine is v useful and thank you for washing pods and dishwasher tablets! V helpful Beds noisy when you turn A dog poo on the carpet upstairs in a bedroom overlooked by cleaner. Responded within 24 hours and offered to come it up. Good customer service.

Generally very pleased and lovely little cottage Would definitely recommend

Beautiful cottage!

Well decorated and clean! They really have thought of everything

Lovely house, nicely refurbished.

Outside area lets it down. Thankyou so much for the lovely goodies. I found the sitting area uncomfortable hard surface on the settees . The smoke alarm may need a battery change as it went off several times on the last night. I thought it was a very nice house just a few things

Lovely cosy cottage in a good quiet location slightly away from the main areas of the town.

The kitchen had everything you could need - the most well stocked of any Southwold holiday home we have stayed in. Fridge was small as per other reviews but fine for the 2 of us for a few days. Thanks

Very well presented , clean, thoughtfully furnished and good quality equipment to meet all needs.

Centrally located for all amenities. Lovely welcome pack and good wine, thank you.

The house is very quiet and well appointed, newly decorated, good furnishings and a quiet garden.

On-street parking was fairly easy to find. It was over all a happy stay with nice touches; we arrived to 2 pints of milk and a bottle of wine, and good quality crisps and biscuits. However the house should really be described as two and a half bedrooms. The third bedroom is a very small bunk room off the second bedroom. This is only mentioned on the additional page on the website, easily missed. Sykes could not tell me the actual dimensions of this, but said the bed had been used by adults before. On arrival we found the access to the room was very narrow - the bed in the second bedroom only left a shuffleable gap! We had to draw lots as to who got the nice bedroom, the one that was very small or the one that had through traffic…We got lucky and had the larger room, however the nice quality sheets weren’t clean, hoping it was only two bits of food stuck to them?! Southwold is a beautiful town, the people are friendly and the cafes and shops welcoming. The sea was sparkling, the beach was immaculate and sandy. The house prices are eye-watering - including this one that we spotted as for sale in a local estate agent.

When we arrived the cottage was easy to find and check in but unfortunately after a long drive there was a couple of our party (including my elderly mother) that needed to use the bathroom but there was no toilet roll.

So the first thing I had to do was find a local shop, not a great start. Surely this is a basic element that should be provided and on reading the visitors book there were several entry’s that mentioned how they had everything they needed including a welcome pack with a bottle of wine. We had nothing! Personally I’m not bothered about the wine but a loo roll should be there. When I mentioned this to Sykes I received a very flippant reply that we should have known this as the cottage is self catering. But surely if towels are provided then that should be too. The cottage it’s self is very pleasant, it’s well decorated, is comfortable and has everything you would need. Southwold is a beautiful town and we would definitely visit again. Would we stay there again, unfortunately not. The family that lives next door are very noisy at all times of the day and particularly at night and into the early hours so we didn’t really get a good nights sleep.

Lovely cottage in excellent location for town and beach.

Short 5 mins walk through the church at the top of the road to centre of southwold highstreet. Easy free parking right outside cottage. Tastefully decorated throughout and central heating very good and warm for whole stay. Lovely and clean. Downsides would be there are no wardrobes for hanging clothes, just 6 hangers and a small free standing rack in main bedroom and only hooks on the wall with coat hangers in other 2 bedrooms. The shower cubicle in the bathroom is very small for manouvering round inside. Fortunately, we aren't very big so was ok, but it might be an issue for a bigger person! Lovely, bright and light, well equiped kitchen, plenty of everything you need but the fridge which is so tiny and the smallest we've seen outside of a caravan! There is also a wine fridge though in the dining area which we used as back up to the small frigde!. The TV is very small but we weren't away to watch TV all the time so it was fine for a few days. The welcome pack of wine, biscuits, crisps and milk is a lovely gesture and most welcome. Thank you. Would recommend the coastal walk to Walberswick. Southwold is a lovely town and a great base.

Excellent little cottage close to everything in Southwold!

Very happy stay in Southwold.

Easy walk to the seafront, the pier and the town centre. Cottage is lovely, really well equipped with useful essentials like tea, coffee, salt, pepper, dishwasher tablets etc. as well as books and games. Comfy and homely. Special big thank you to Ben at Sykes who went the extra mile to help us get booked, after we left it much later than we should have. Much appreciated thank you.

Lovely, cosy, well maintained property.

Welcome basket of biscuits & wine etc. a nice touch. Was able to park on street close to property. Wouldn't change anything. Made a family holiday very special.

Close to shops and beach.

Small (circa 1909) terraced cottage with partial ground floor refurbishment. Disturbed at night by noisy neighbours Defective and temperamental front door lock, which posed a security risk. House/Garden boundaries offered no privacy. Over priced and disappointing.

Really pleased with the property and can’t fault in any way.

Has clearly been recently decorated to a high standard. It was a lovely touch to arrive and find the welcoming wine and snacks.

We were only here a couple of days but we really enjoyed our trip.

The house is beautifully appointed!

Really impressed with our cottage, very clean, very homely, we had everything we needed and more.

Great location, we would recommend. Thank you!

Delighted in being so well located, also very well stocked.

We enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful house and great base to explore Suffolk.

Loved it!

Perfect place to celebrate my birthday.

Beautiful and well equipped property. Wonderful memories made!

Such a lovely cottage.

The little extras you left us were really appreciated. The beds were lovely & comfortable and the dog was well catered for. Thank you for letting us stay here.

We have enjoyed our 3 weeks holiday.

A lovely location; we enjoyed the pantry, beach and all the games in the house, especially the Wendy house!

We have had a fantastic time.

The house is perfect – beautifully decorated, filled with everything you could need, spotlessly clean and in a perfect location. What more could you ask for? We'll definitely be back.

We have had a lovely stay.

It has been so much fun and the house has been nice and cosy and a lovely place to come back to after a long day. It was really nice, thanks. We also really appreciate the amount of books for us to read. Best Southwold holiday cottage ever! :)

Thank you for a lovely stay in such a beautiful house, we loved it!
