Guests say

Sea Mouse Cottage in Southwold has received positive feedback for its high standard of decoration, cosy atmosphere, and thoughtful touches such as a welcome basket. Its proximity to local amenities and the beach has been appreciated by guests. However, some have noted issues with noisy neighbours and maintenance concerns.

Most guests found the cottage to be very clean and well maintained, with only a single mention of unclean sheets, which seems to be an isolated incident.

The location is highly praised for being close to shops, the beach, and the town centre, making it an excellent base to explore Suffolk.

The property is generally found to be cosy and well maintained. However, some guests mentioned small or uncomfortable furniture and issues with privacy and noise from neighbours.

Facilities are well-regarded with a well-equipped kitchen and essentials provided. Criticisms include a small fridge, a temperamental door lock, and a small TV, indicating room for improvement in maintenance.

Guests have mentioned a welcome pack with wine and snacks, which is a nice touch, although it's noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary.

    The kitchen had everything you could need - the most well stocked of any Southwold holiday home we have stayed in. Fridge was small as per other reviews but fine for the 2 of us for a few days. Thanks

  • Annette

    Outside area lets it down. Thankyou so much for the lovely goodies. I found the sitting area uncomfortable hard surface on the settees . The smoke alarm may need a battery change as it went off several times on the last night. I thought it was a very nice house just a few things

  • Barry

    Centrally located for all amenities. Lovely welcome pack and good wine, thank you.
