What our customers say about their holidays

• Susan - Verified booking

  Liked the property overall, the bed was very comfortable & loved the open fire, but there were issues with facilities.

  The heating was not on on arrival, three radiators switched off & we had to figure out how it worked to heat the house up. The bathroom was always freezing with the heated towel rail working every now and again. We did eventually learn how to turn it on but were always out before it heated up. Cooking facilities were poor. The cooker hood needs a good clean and bulbs replacing. The roasting tin and baking sheet were rusty and unusable, there are only two saucepans with lids and three small milk pans - why is a proper set not provided? Couldn't turn the oven on & had to phone up for instructions as there were none. Despite having three welcome folders there were no instructions for any appliances. The washing machine is not level, rocks on two feet & had to be wedged up with a book to stop it roaming around the kitchen. Had to buy an airer to hang clothes to dry. Had to buy a new plug for the kitchen sink and had to improvise a plug for the bathroom sink. Had to buy a set of allen keys to tighten up the table legs to stop it wobbling around (& potentially collapsing). The weather was poor with conditions outside very muddy. No mop was provided so, unfortunately, we couldn't clean the floors properly before we left. Towels provided are tiny & only just fitted round our waists. If we'd known would have brought our own. We enjoyed our stay overall, we don't usually let poor facilities dampen our enjoyment, but are very disappointed to have again paid a high price for a UK holiday property that fell short. The location is lovely but is definitely not worth the money we paid.

  The cottage was beautifully clean and exceptionally well equipped. The location is amazing. I had to make a point of using the sitting room as the seating area in the kitchen is bright and comfortable. The heating was more than adequate although I did light a log fire a couple of evenings only for aesthetics and to get me into the sitting room! A few steps from the back door and you are in the High Street and it's a short stroll to the sandy beach. More coffee shops than one person can manage in a week and likewise the Adnams pubs offer plenty of places to drink good wine & beers and a range of freshly cooked lunches/dinners. I have no hesitation recommending this cottage - a great week with my dog.

  Heathside is a perfect holiday home. It has views over the common and there are fantastic views of the sunset over Blythburgh. There is a very short walk into the town centre with all its shops, pubs and restaurants, and the sea and beach are even closer. The cottage is quaint and very sweet with round windows which make it a very special place to live for a week--we always want to stay on longer, and miss it when we are back home! It is very well equipped with everything we could possibly need for the week. The white goods it has in the kitchen are especially useful to us. In all, a fantastic cottage which has given us yet another wonderful holiday in Southwold!

  Lovely cottage right near the sea front, though if you have a reactive dog to outside noise a bit too close to people and cars going past. Has everything you need to make your stay easy. We did find parking a problem, restricted parking across road 2 hours and no return within 4 hours. There is free parking further away but as it was bank holiday weekend it was rather busy. Lots of restaurants nearby but they mostly served a similar menu if you like Adnams beer battered cod your in luck. Southwold is a lovely place and there are lots of other villages around to visit

  This is a delightful detached bungalow with great outside space and summer house to enjoy. It is nicely located on the edge of Southwold on a quiet road and with great views at the front over the marshes to Reydon. Off-street parking is an advantage here. Inside, the property is full of character, and was very comfortable for the two of us. The kitchen and dining area is a nicely spacious and well equipped. Thank you for the starter pack of goodies which we enjoyed. We'd be happy to recommend Wolsey Cottage to others and would consider staying here again.
