Sweet Pea, Southwold

Very centrally situated- you could park your car up for the week and not use it.

The play park was lovely and oh so quiet. The cottage had everything you need and lovely comfy beds.

Great modern family holiday home overlooking the park; close by to the high street and beach only 5-1 min walk away.

Comfortable and well presented, a little understated by seaside standards, which is no bad thing.

Everything works - even the toaster if it's plugged in far enough from the smoke detector. (Although the aluminium frying pans are unused for a reason - the induction hob.) The location is excellent: a two-minute walk from the High Street and no more than five from the sea front. All of Southwold is within easy reach, including the superb Southwold Fish & Chip Company café. (Others are available, of course.) Not having allocated parking was my oversight - it feels inconsiderate to impose my car on the town I'm visiting without a place to put it - but in practice (in early March anyway) a space was easy to find. Overall, Sweet Pea played its part in a very successful break.

A lovely, clean and well appointed property with a wonderful view of the church.

It is in the centre of Southwold but despite that is very quiet. Southwold is lovely and has interesting shops and a good variety of eating options. It was a bit snug for 4 adults but would be ideal for 3.

We have stayed at Sweet Pea/ Pea Pod several times and love the accommodation and location.

It could do with some updating and improvements: 1. Improved pans and crockery. 2. New dishwasher. 3. Outdoor area - new paving, repaired fences. 4. Taps that shoot water at you changed.

This was an almost perfect stay in Southwold.

The location is excellent with easy access to the high street and onwards to the beach. The house is lovely and the park behind the house was great for kids. The only thing letting it down was the very thick duvets - we arrived at the end of a heat wave so were surprised to find winter duvets on the all the beds, with no alternatives anywhere that we could find. Additionally, the windows were all limited in how much they can open so we found the nights very warm. There does appear to be some kind of air ventilation system in the house but we couldn't get it working. Other than that, it was a lovely stay!

our holiday cottage was in an ideal location to visit the whole of Southwold.

The property itself was clean and furnished to a high standard. i would recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting Southwold.Only one thing to remember is there is no parking at this property.saying that we had no difficulty in finding a parking site to leave our car for a week on a road.

it was very nice,except the outside was tatty,too few small plates.

Bathroom a little dark and uninviting

Plus side: great location, light with big windows, open plan with ample space, comfortable bed, good shower.

Negative: Back gate disintegrating, generally clean but mold on some window frames, toaster is hopeless, fire alarms sound whenever you cook food. In summary, I would certainly return to this property.

A great property central to everything in the town.

With short walks to the beach and the shops. Design was modern throughout and the property was generally clean.

For anyone, Sweet Pea is the perfect house in the perfect location.

Within 30 seconds in one direction there is the Adnams cafe where you can get your morning coffees and pastries and, less than 10 seconds in the other direction, there is a large swing park and green, which my six year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed. The house is also a very short walk to the high street and brilliant beach. The house itself is clean and bright and also cosy at the same time. It has everything you could possibly need and felt like a real home from home. Tea towels, oven gloves, dishwasher tablets and other cleaning items were available. There is also a washing machine, dishwasher, clothes airer and to use. The welcome gift was very thoughtful. We parked very near to the house to unload and were able to quickly find parking for our stay on the main road afterwords. It’s rare that I stay somewhere and immediately look at the future availability, but that is exactly what I’m doing with Sweet Pea. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Such a lovely house - great location for children, being next to the park and close to the shops.

The decoration was modern and the house was clean. Plenty of space, the ceilings were higher than most properties in the area. It offered all the necessary appliances and the beds were comfortable. The only improvement required would be the leaking shower.

Beautiful cottage, with everything provided you could possibly need.

Ideal central location.

Fantastic stay - brilliant location, perfect for us.

Will be back

Lovely property, tucked away, but still central.

We enjoyed our stay very much.

The property description clearly describes a washer dryer but there is in fact just a washing machine with no drying function.

Slightly annoying when the family packed thinking we could easily wash & dry a change of clothes. Raised with Best Of Suffolk during our stay and no reply.

Thanks for the welcome pack.

We could not find the visitors book. We had dinner each of our 3 night in the local restaurants recommended in the information folder. The Swan and Crown were very good for food, service and all round hospitality. The Sutherland was very disappointing. The food was not freshly cooked, service very quick, giving the sense that it was organised to suit the staff and not the customer. The bathroom light may need to be replaced as it was constantly flickering. We really enjoyed our stay in Sweet Pea and plan to return. Southwold is a lovely place to visit and explore.

Lovely cottage in a central location, but tucked away from the main routes.

Lovely front and back garden but in need of some cleaning and maintenance to gardens. Possibly a bistro table in front to catch that evening sun would be good! Beds very comfy, kitchen has everything one needs and plastic stuff for children was amazing to find. Main bathroom, side of bath panel has water damage and is warped, around window tiles could do with some cleaning of general black mould but appreciate it’s been a damp summer. It would also be an idea to trim the Laurels at the side and clean it up so one could sit on the bench - possible some wasps nest in these which was a small issue. Despite this very small things, it was a wonderful holiday and we would absolutely return without hesitation.

We had a lovely stay at Sweet Pea.

The property was light and airy, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. It had all the equipment we needed for our stay. The location was excellent and very handy for getting to the High Street and local beaches which was good for us since we arrived by public transport. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and much appreciated.

Handy location close to centre and park.

Nice to stay in a well designed modern development.

Property was clean and had all amenities and a great location.

That said the listing cited the property as dog friendly when it is not - low open shelves containing plates, bowls, no garden for dog to toilet - we didn't think that would be a problem as the description states that it is next to a large green, which it is. It fails to mention that dogs are banned from the grass. Also parking was an absolute nightmare. It states plenty of street parking - there is not. Each day we had to search for ages for a parking space and ended up a 15 min walk away - we were told that is normal for Southwold, but as this was our first visit it was a shock

The house is great and centrally located.

The rooms are well equipped and comfortable Only thing missing in kitchen was a toaster (unless it was hidden!!). Welcome gift was a very lovely touch too.

Very comfortable stay in Sweet Pea.

Really good location. A few practical suggestions. We arrived after dark and struggled to locate the property initially. A torch is essential after dark. Also already mentioned in visitors book we had difficulty locating the cutlery drawer. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
