What guests are saying
We throughly enjoyed our stay in the Smokehouse Cottage.
Having stayed in various other properties in Southwold, this was up there with the best of them. The property is deceptively spacious, and is very modern and well appointed. It has good storage space and is fantastically situated for all of Southwold. Parking was also easy with 24/7 spaces withing 50m of the property.Its also dog friendly which was a key factor for us. We would definitely return to the Smokehouse for further holidays
Lovely accomodation.
Nice and cool when we walked in, I thought there was Aircon for a minute. Very clean throughout and the welcome pack was a nice bonus. It would be nice to have a lighter tog duvet. The one on the bed weighed a ton
This was our second stay at this property and we love it.
Clean, comfortable accommodation, beautifully decorated and with everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect, with the town and the beach only a two minute walk away. We will definitely be coming back next year, Southwold is our favourite holiday destination in the UK.
