    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Mrs Gaffney - Verified booking

      The house was even better than we had expected .. absolutely perfect for 6 adults, 2 teenagers, an 8 year old and 1 well behaved dog. The occasion was an important family one … my 80th birthday(!), so a delicious roast dinner was prepared and cooked in the amazingly well-equipped kitchen, by 1 couple with assistance from extra hands for peeling etc. Those in the house, as well as further family of 5 adults and a 4 and 2 year old, staying nearby all ate comfortably in the dining room and breakfast area. There was an enormous amount of space for children to play safely, or watch tv, allowing the adults to relax and thoroughly enjoy themselves. The weather was chilly but bright and we all walked to the Harbour Inn along the beach, dunes and track, as well as exploring the town. The house was ideally situated a short walk from everywhere .. the pier, the beach and the shops. Perfect in every way. We will definitely come to Southwold House again and have already recommended it to several friends. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to share your magnificent property!

    • D Cottrell - Verified booking

      Our stay in Southwold. We've always loved Southwold but some of the holiday lets don't allow dogs and some are very over priced. We've stayed once before in a rental and also in the two hotels. These stays were good but compared to our stay at Bovis Cottage they just don't compare in any way. So we arrived for a 10 day stay. We couldn't have been better pleased. The first 2 days our grown up sons, aged 20 and 23 were with us as well. So 4 adults and 2 dogs in the cottage at night! There was bags of room it was great. The cottage itself is very good. The location even better. You are situated at the start of the High Street. so all of what is going on is at your door step. We could walk down the High Street and shops, go to the pier and the sea front. Or we could turn left and go across the common for a nice walk. Or turn right and make our way down to the harbour for fresh sea food, fish and more. We had a great time at a cottage that couldn't be better placed for a great break. I would recommend for a family as well as its a great big garden front and back.

    • Pat Cartwright - Verified booking

      My family and I enjoy our annual visit to Southwold, this year's was made even more memorable by our stay in Southwold house. Everything about the house is really great. The decor is beautiful, enhanced by the attention to detail, lots of pictures etc. The large kitchen, very well equipped. Very comfortable lounge plenty of seating. The master bedroom is delightful, so spacious, and well appointed. Every room is furnished to a high standard. Bedding is very good, lovely, good sized soft towels. We all loved the house, definitely the best we have stayed in over the last 20 odd years and hope to return next year.

    • Ms Sims - Verified booking

      There is nothing negative to say about Southwold House! It's a beautiful house with comfortable furnishings throughout and set in a perfect location close to the sea. It's a large house and we were concerned it would feel a bit chilly for a winter break however we were all very cosy and comfortable. All six bedrooms were of a good size with comfortable beds etc. The kitchen is well stocked and a great sociable area, we made a full roast dinner with no problem at all. There are 3 other downstairs living areas and we made use of all of them. I would definitely return to this property.

    • Mrs Alison Burgess - Verified booking

      The property was lovely and was everything that was stated on the website. A few things were noted though: The ensuite bathroom needs a mirror. The sink plug in the first floor bathroom leaks and doesn't hold the water in the sink. The first floor double bedroom doesn't have any drawer space It would be good for the property to have coasters - we couldn't find any and were worried about leaving marks on the tables. There wasn't any spare loo roll & not enough was left in some bathrooms to get us through our first night!
