My partner and I stayed at Chestnutt Cottage in October, and we both loved the house, its location, and the beach hut particularly. The house is simply furnished, without the usual rental accommodation fussiness, and well equipped. It has a lovely little private, sunny garden at the rear and a great conservatory which we found ourselves sitting in reading in the mornings. It's really near to the sea-front, pier and nature walks, we totally recommend the chips from the little chippy at the Harbour. The owners, Chris and Judith, are really nice and friendly, and made our stay in Southwold really enjoyable. We hope we get to go back, so we can go and have tea and toast in the beach hut with the sun on our faces.

Hope website photos have been updated to do the accommodation justice. 2 generous sized double bedrooms, family bathroom upstairs and shower room off the kitchen. Exceptionally well equipped, all cleaning products included too. If beach front is important to you then you can use the beach hut. Cottage is only 15-20 minute walk from sea front. Many different types of walks available. We are retired couple not used to rambling but even I found the going easy and the wildlife so interesting. Many places of interest to visit nearby. Cottage also has lovely sun room off the kitchen. We were very comfortable and slept so well. Our best holiday in ages.

Welcomed by the owners. Tasteful decor, clean and comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Small private garden. Within easy walking distance of shops and Southwold beach. With the added option of beach hut rental.

Meticulously clean, well-equipped and comfortable (except size of dining table). Good under-cover secure bike parking, with off-road car-parking space too Superb location for us - walking distance into Southwold for pier, shops and harbour, without being trapped by day-visitors' cars in the town when we wanted to go further afield. Location might not suit those who don't want to (or can't) walk very far. We loved the walk from the cottage over the marshes to the harbour and the excellent bird-watching in the area. Good shop, stocking locally-grown veg and daily papers within a couple of hundred yards. Didn't use the beach hut as much as we expected as too much else to do Great cycling in quiet lanes. We will be back ...
