Didnât have any difficulty finding parking. We were troubled a little by flys at the start of our stay (had to get fly spray to keep them under control). They seemed to disappear when the weather got a little fresher. Kitchen was well equipped. Cooker lovely, although I couldnât get the grill to heat (gave up in the end). Also, although there were plenty of oven trays, only a couple actually fitted into ANY of the ovens.

Very comfortable, clean and in good order. Having stayed many, many times in and around Southwold this is one of the best.

My only tiny comment would be the double bed is a bit lumpy (dips) and the 2 armchairs in the lounge are very low! Apart from that - all excellent!
