Mrs Goulding
Charming cottage which felt like a home away from home. Location was perfect as the main high st in Southwold with shops and restaurants was only a 3 min drive away. The kitchen overlooked a lovely garden area and parking was easy (we just parked across the road). Kitchen had everything you could need and bathroom was nice. Lounge had comfy sofa with blankets and a smart tv which was good for a cosy night in. Loved our time at the cottage and would definitely stay again.

We had a lovely stay, well equipped and comfortable. I found the stairs a bit daunting but soon got used to them. It’s very convenient for walking into town and lovely walks nearby Would highly recommend and would love to stay again

Clean and comfortable cottage, very well equipped, in a good location being only 15/20 minutes walk from center of Southwold. Pleasant back garden, and ability to park in road opposite a bonus. Provides an ideal base from which to visit Southwold, would definitely stay again.
