A beautiful cottage . Position and views were perfect. Would definitely come back.

The Nest is delightful, if you don't mind two sets of stairs, which was fine for us, but perhaps not for everyone. It has wonderful sea views and is situated in the heart of Southwold. A comfortable, cosy letting.

Lovely little cottage in a perfect part of town. A minutes walk from the beach and a sea view from the bedroom. Unfortunately in some areas it is quite tired. In particular the bathroom and kitchen have stained sinks and the kitchen grouting desperately needs a deep clean or replacing. Other areas such as the windows and sofa are just tired and the duvet is three small ones zipped together rather than a single king size one. This was really very uncomfortable as the zips are thick and pretty rigid. Id love to stay here again but only after the place has a deep clean.
