  The cottage was in a perfect position, we walked everywhere. Hope to be back soon.

• "Sweet cottage but not really dog friendly with the lack of enclosed private garden."

  The stairs are very steep and care always has to be taken. On Sunday night we could not get the oven to work even when reading the operating manual. First time I have been to a rental where the welcoming package does not include milk and basics which would be a proper welcoming package. Great location to pub and beach and quiet eve though next to pub.

• "Central location, 2 minutes from beach and High Street."

  The Sole Bay Inn being next door was fine. Really well equipped kitchen. Parked immediately outside for the week. Comfortable rooms and beds with adequate storage for family of 4. Being able to open the living room window would be ideal.

• "We did very much enjoy our stay, it's a lovely property and so special to spend time in the heart of such a wonderful town."

  Visit the Electric Palace if you can and definitely go on the new tour up the lighthouse. But there were a few things we picked up on... - Cutlery, plates, bowls etc were not clean and had not been checked (lovely set though) - It felt uncomfortable not being able to open the sitting room window (painted shut) - both in terms of not being able to get some air flow without opening the front door (difficult when you have the dog) plus from an escape route point of view - Wheelie bin missing wheels, so very difficult to move - you just have to drag it (commented on by bin men) - No recycling facilities or dedicated bin - doesn't look good in this day and age - Lovely tiles in bathroom, but state of paintwork very poor - flaking off due to high humidity; it just loses the property that 'premium' feel - Fridge very unergonomic layout - Freezer still full of out of date food, plus it is in desperate need of defrosting - only 50% capacirty left due to icing - Broken pane of glass in dining room (acknowledged by owner) - Cooker clock and lounge clock not set correctly (attention to detail) - Very noisy sound coming from pub in rear bedroom resulting in poor sleep (possibly their cooling - outside of your control) - 24/7 bright light coming from sweet shop resulting in poor sleep - conflict between warm nights needing open curtains and bright light needing curtains closed (outside your control) - I'm afraid we found all the matresses to be rather uncomfortable - Missing set of towels and bath mat upon arrival (brought over after a day or so) - Something for the future perhaps? An external power socket (or even a charging point) for electric vehicles... - Our experience, not in anyway feedback or criticism - we were luckly enough to be able to park direclty outside the house for the week. Problem we had was that people still squeeze between the car and the picket fence, regardless of how much room you leave, resulting in a dented door and a deep scratch from a pushchair. Plus my black car was practically white by the end of week! And the seagull poo doesn't do your paintwork any good. My advice to anyone staying in Southwold is wash your car as soon as you can! But relish your time there, there's nowhere quite like it....

• "Fantastic cottage, very well presented, comfortable and cozy."

  It had all we needed to make our stay very enjoyable and relaxing. It’s proximity to the beach and town’s facilities make it an ideal location for a stay in Southwold

• "The house was fabulous only one thing we could not get the fire in living room to stay glowing an instruction manual for the remote would be great."

  We didn’t need it for heat but lovely to have a a cosy glow.

• "Parsley Cottage was an absolute delight."

  The facilities, location and furnishings were all top class. The kitchen was beautiful. Bedding was extremely comfortable. The heating/weather system was extremely useful. Welcome gifts always very much appreciated. Just a couple of points for the owner - the WiFi login details in the Welcome Pack were incorrect (we found the correct info on the router in the lounge). The stairs are extremely narrow and very steep - perhaps that should be outlined in the ad; anyone with a slight mobility issue would struggle. A bathmat in the shower room would be very nice (other guests had also requested that). The floor is stone cold tiling - not very comfortable. We have an electric car and discovered the charging point about 20 m away, by the Adnams Brewery. Perfect. A mention of that in the ad would I'm sure be a bonus to other EV owners. All in all - a delightful stay in a town that we know and love very much, thank you!
