  • "We booked this house due to having a ground floor bedroom and bathroom as my wife is disabled."

    The bedroom was so small you could just get round the bed. Extremely difficult. The 'bathroom' was across the large entrance lobby and was a wc with a minute shower off it. The basin was a very tiny one tight to the side of the toilet. All seriously hard work. I need a holiday now.

    Thank you for letting us know how you found it staying at Bridge House. We have had several people already stay at the property who have had mobility concerns and used the downstairs bedroom with no difficulty. The description on the website does say 'Ground-floor shower room with walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail and WC', which we feel is accurate. But again, we are sorry that you were disappointed and hope you enjoyed the rest of the house and your stay in Southwold. Property Owner

  • "Lovely clean tidy house well stocked kitchen, with everything needed for a happy holiday away from home, nice big range cooker which proved easy to use, Lounge comfortable Bathroom clean & modern, shower products were a pleasant surprise as was the very nice welcome prosecco (Adnams of course) along with cookies and milk ( sorry if I missed anything) Only slight issue - with three young boys the locking latches on the doors were very easy for them to tamper with which meant they could open the doors !"

    We are so glad you enjoyed your holiday and thank you for your lovely feedback. Yes, that type of a thumb turn lock is now mandatory for holiday lets for safety reasons but thank you for mentioning it! However, just for anyone reading this, the garden is enclosed with a fence. Property Owner

  • "Loved this house- the best welcome was arriving at 10pm and finding the house nice and cosy warm, was dreading having to start getting the house warmed up (mid oct arrival) but it was lovely."

    Beds and linen all of good quality and very comfy. Kitchen cupboards well stocked and didn’t run out after one (or two) meals. Really clear thought has gone into keeping guests happy, bravo! Probably the first house in Southwold we’ve rented that I’d return to (after 5 or 6 different stays) thank you!!

    Thank you for your feedback, very nice to read! We look forward to having you again. Property Owner

  • "A very pleasant, comfortable, light-filled house, that offers an easy walk straight down the road to the beach or into the centre of town."

    It was very clean and well equipped. The private parking was a plus but there was also space on the road outside the property, too.

    So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your message. Property Owner

  • "The Bridge House is a very comfortable and well equipped property."

    There was plenty of room for the five of us. It was extremely convenient for both the sea front and the town centre. We loved Southwold and want to return someday. The house was, unfortunately, let down by the outside space. The garden needed maintaining and the garden furniture really needs renewing as the table was rusty. We bought a cheap, plastic cloth to cover it. As the weather was fantastic for our stay, we wanted to eat outside. Having said this, it wouldn’t put us off booking The Bridge House again. Many thanks for a memorable week.

    Thank you very much for your feedback and we do hope you will return. So glad you found the house comfortable and the location very good. We do apologise about the garden. Our gardener normally comes regularly but he had a tricky patch. The garden is now in good order with regular attendance. Thank you for mentioning the table. We now provide a good plastic tablecloth and will replace the furniture shortly. We appreciate your message. Thank you. Property Owner

    Everything from the most lovely artwork to the hotel-like sleep experience .Where did those pillows come from ? It is so close to the pier and beach and only a short walk into town plus it has the added advantage of having parking.Thank you Cecily for your help.We will be coming back as we enjoyed our stay so much..From the Yorkshire pals.

    Thank you for such a lovely review. It was a pleasure to be in touch with you during your stay, and I am so glad you enjoyed your time here. You were perfect guests. Looking forward to next time. Property Owner

  • "Well located property- very close to the beach and pier and only a short walk along the prom into town."

    Property was very spacious and well equipped. Garden does need some tidying up so users could make more use of it….especially the area around and under the bridge. Overall though a very enjoyable stay and would return.

    Thank you for your feedback. I am very glad you liked the location and the property as a whole and thought it was well equipped--that is our goal. Apologies that the garden was not up to scratch. It grows very fast in the summer, and we like to keep some areas a little wild for nature's sake, but apologies if the areas that should be tended to had escaped the gardener. It is very helpful to get your feedback. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful holiday and we loved the house."

    It's so light, airy and spacious. The lounge furniture is comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The washing machine and dryer were excellent. We liked the bridge to the upper floor and the garden surrounding the house and we liked the fact that it is so close to the sea. It is maybe the best holiday home that we've ever stayed in.

    Thank you very much for such positive feedback and delighted you had a good stay. I love the house so am very pleased when others do too. Thank you. Property Owner

  • "We liked the position of the property and the facilities offered."

    We had a good holiday and would choose it again. We enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, used the open fire in the evening, and the garden, and the garden table/chairs. We were nice and warm. Thank you! We had texted the owner using the number provided to separate a double bed into 2 singles, but this wasn't done. The owner was supportive when we phoned but we had to find the right linen and do it ourselves, which was a bit of a stress when we arrived. The downstairs walk-in shower is very small and the handbasin minute. The upstairs shower needs to be wall mounted. The downstairs double room really isn't big enough for the small double bed. There seemed to be a lot of flying insects in and around the house, and we got bitten.

    We are so pleased that you liked the house and facilities and enjoyed your stay. The upstairs bathroom now has a wall mounted shower. So sorry about the linens--has never happened before and thank you for being so understanding. Having a garden and being in the country means we do have the usual bugs, but we always clean thoroughly within the house. Property Owner

  • "We were very happy with the house and the way everything was organised and explained."

    We found the cot a bit tricky to assemble and fold down, and the downstairs shower, loo and wash basin a bit cramped. Minor issues ... overall, the house was very well equipped and very comfortable.

    So glad you enjoyed your stay. The cot we are told is standard to open up and just needs a nice shove to get it closed! You can always leave it open for us to do. Property Owner

  • "Had a great fortnight in Southwold staying at the Bridge House starting with a lovely surprise of Prosecco and biscuits!"

    Pretty much all you could need for a holiday is provided and the availability of an onsite EV charger was a huge bonus for us. Some of the foliage around the garage area could do with a bit of a prune. But having said that, a gardener was around on the day we departed! On the whole though, the garden is a lovely, relaxing area. The property is in an excellent location and you can be down at the beach or pier in two minutes. Also, Southwold is just the best isn’t it?!!

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are very glad you enjoyed the house. Property Owner

  • "Generally the house was lovely and the kitchen really well equipped."

    The main issue we had was the small shower room with tiny wash basin. Not really suitable as an alternative to the upstairs bathroom. The front garden area was also needing attention, weeding and patio furniture cleaning. However the location was great and the parking very convenient.

    So pleased you liked the kitchen and house overall. We are very fortunate to be so near the beach. The front garden, especially the bank, is left as a rewilding area during the summer to encourage the bees and wild flowers--hence the long grasses. The back garden with lawns and beds is maintained in a more traditional way. Apologies if the patio furniture needed a clean--it is hard to keep apace with all the wild birds in the garden!

The property

A detached seaside house, settled into the salty air of Southwold, located just 2 minutes walk from the pier and beach. Interiors are simply stylish; primarily crisp clean white backgrounds with pops of colour added in soft furnishings and accessories.

Doors to the garden from the living area and kitchen make this a great holiday home for families in the summer months, and the wood burner adds a cosy touch in the winter. Secure parking for two cars in such a prime location in this seaside town is a huge asset, there is also the added benefit of an electric vehicle charging point! Ground floor The main entrance to The Bridge House is off the drive, opening directly into a welcoming hallway with access to the double and shower room, stairs rising to the first floor and opening to the living area and kitchen ahead of you.

The original five finger oak parquet with a light stain runs through the majority of the ground floor. Living Room Effectively open plan with entrance off the entrance hall into this stylish living space, and opening into the kitchen/dining room.

Two deep sofas invite you to relax in front of the wall mounted TV and there are a couple of extra chairs. Kitchen/Dining Room The modern kitchen opens off the living room with doors to the utility room and garden.

The dining table has six chairs with an extra couple of folding chairs in the utility room for extra guests.

Units wrap around two walls with integrated dishwasher, under counter fridge and impressive Cuisinemaster (Leisure) stove with five rings, two ovens and a separate grill.

There’s a coffee machine and a charcoal BBQ. Utility Room Useful space with additional storage in a fridge/freezer (four shelves and veggie boxes in the fridge and three drawers in the freezer), plus a washing machine and dryer. Ground Floor Bedroom Bright bedroom furnished with a small double bed (4ft, hence +1 on the description), bedside drawers and a unit with hanging space. Shower Room With shower cubicle, wash basin, WC, heated towel rail and natural light. First Floor Effectively the ground floor from the front where you can cross the bridge from Pier Avenue and enter the hallway.

Two bedrooms to your right, bathroom and toilet ahead of you and wide stairs descending to the lower ground floor.

Carpet runs through, other than bathroom and toilet with vinyl flooring. Front Bedroom Super sunny bedroom with windows, allowing the light to stream in on three sides (with blackout blinds so you can enjoy a good nights sleep!).

The zip and link super king size bed allows you to choose a twin on request or double configuration with an additional pull out bed (2’6” x 5’9”) for a child if needed.

There’s ample storage in the wardrobe with a chest of drawers there too as well as bedside tables. Garden Bedroom Sitting quietly at the back, another bright bedroom with double bed, bedside drawers and wardrobe with both hanging and drawer space. Bathroom Light and airy with natural light through the frosted glass window.

The bath has a hand shower and there’s a washbasin and towel rail over the radiator. Outside This iconic house has an entrance off Marlborough Road at the back with gates opening into the drive and parking for two cars. The fully enclosed garden wraps around the house with a lawn, trees and flower beds in the back and at the front, under the bridge, a paved area furnished with table for 6/8 with parasol and 12 chairs, with bank rising to Pier Avenue.

You’re spoilt for choice at this holiday house, with a bistro table and chairs on the ‘upper deck’ by the bridge where you can catch the morning sun and another table and chairs sitting on the lawn where you can enjoy the evening sun.
