Guests say
Eastway Cottage in Southwold is highly praised for its prime location, cleanliness, and private parking. Guests appreciate the proximity to the beach and town centre, the well-maintained and equipped property, and the cosy, comfortable atmosphere. The cottage's quietness despite its central location is also noted. Some guests mention the bed could be larger and the heating system could be more convenient, but these are minor points in otherwise glowing reviews.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is consistently described as spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests are very satisfied with.
The location is repeatedly commended for being close to the beach, shops, and town centre, while also offering the tranquillity and privacy valued by guests, making it an ideal setting.
Overall, guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, with some suggesting a larger bed would enhance comfort. The heating system is mentioned as tricky but effective once understood.
Facilities are well-received, with the property being well-equipped and maintained. The new kitchen is a bonus, although there are hints that some areas may benefit from updates.
While guests express gratitude for the welcome pack of goodies, there is not enough information to evaluate the consistency of such gestures, and they should not be expected on every visit.

Very good location, close to the beach, shops and pubs and still quiet. The cottage itself is a bit used and needs some improvement.
