Mr Robertson
The property was a delight from the moment we arrived until we left. Amory House is located on the High Street in Southwold within a 5 minute walk of the beach. As part of that walk you pass all the shops you need to visit during your holiday as well as at least two pubs,The Lord Nelson and Red Lion, both of which are also worth visiting! On entering the house you get the immediate impression that the owners have spent a lot of time and effort making it feel homely. One of the sitting rooms has a lovely log fire and TV that everyone can gather round in the evening. The second acted as a room of solitude for those who wanted to read or do their own thing. The kitchen is well equipped and the large wooden table is a focus for meals but also simply sitting around and chatting. The bedrooms were all beautifully prepared - but as always first come gets the choice of which bedroom they prefer - an upstairs one looking out over the High Street or one of the two ground floor bedrooms which looks out over a lovely back garden. The garden is one of the gems of the property! The seats are strategically placed so that you can sit in the sun, without a wind, drinking your morning coffee or equally in the seats at the top of the garden and get the late afternoon and evening sun. There is also a wooden framed gazebo at the back garden which you can open up if the weather is sunny and warm of zip up and sit outside protected from any rain - not that we saw any during our stay! The weather was beautiful and we had a terrific week which involved various activities including hiring bikes to see the local countryside, some sea fishing, various walks and of course visiting local pubs! The restaurants hadn't yet been allowed to open up post lockdown but we had a lot of enjoyment from cooking our own meals in the lovely kitchen. Fish, which is landed daily at Southwold harbour, was simply a delight to prepare and eat. Finally, the owners were that great combination of accessible if needed but never visible throughout our stay. Anneli came by on the first day to welcome us and make sure everything was in order, leave us her contact details and assure us we were free to contact her if required, and then checking in with us at the end of our vacation. It really was a pleasure to stay at Amory House. Not only would we all recommend it, we'd all go back for another holiday!!
