The Dunes, Southwold

Upstairs shower needs updating no water pressure,your shower is a drip drip experience.

(Reported this last year during our stay.) Down stairs shower is either to hot or to cold,needs upgrading. Television experience is poor,either not enough bandwidth width to the house or the set up with the TV.It is frustrating to watch and would expect a more updated system to be in place.

The Dunes is a beautiful house inside.

The interior has been expertly designed and provided all the comforts indoors. However, sadly the garden was very disappointing and let the property down overall. Although small and compact (deceiving from the photos online) the main issue was the lack of suitable garden furniture to relax on. It was old and needed replacing. The cushions were a mixture that clearly didn’t fit the current furniture. The wooden bench and table were ok but needed sanding as we had a number of splinters over the week! Given the high quality of the interior this was rather puzzling. It did lack privacy but understand this as it backed onto a public area popular with dog walkers. This may not appeal to some guests. Location was good and some lovely pubs to visit.

An excellent holiday home, well located and particularly well equipped with everything you could reasonably expect.

Close to the harbour and a 15 minute walk along the dunes into town. Crockery and cutlery was plentiful, unlike some properties that only provide just enough for the advertised occupancy! The welcome pack was pleasant - and nicely different to many others. Southwold was a lovely place to stay and, for our party, this property was in the ideal place.

The accommodation was comfortable and beautifully dresse.

The location was perfect for the beach, harbour and town. Only grumble was that we had no hot water for over two days and electricity fused resulting in no TV, wifi and electicity downstairs for a night. Having said that we would book again and the inconvenience didn't spoil the holiday. Some additional other comments which may be useful: tbere were connection problems with the TV generally, the stairgate needs pads to secure it in place and a cheese grater would be handy. Also the garlic press doesn't work. None if these spoiled our holiday

We enjoyed our holiday so much, we have booked to go back again next year.

The house was so luxurious and perfect. Thank you

We had a fabulous week with grown up family the house really delivered every home comfort thought of the beds super comfy, great bedding, lovely sitting room and plenty of space.

We had great weather so used the garden lots and the dunes and sea so close is perfect - would love to return -the welcome Prosecco beers and snacks was great too thank you

The Dunes was just perfect.

We stayed in November and it was so cosy. Perfect for a blustery walk along the harbour and a quick cold dip in the sea…straight out of the garden onto the dunes. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need. Would totally recommend this property.

We’ve just spent 5 days at the Dunes and what a fantastic property and location.

I can’t praise the owners enough as the facilities within 40 the Dunes are first class. We will definitely be back.

The house is perfect, lots of lovely touches.

Spotlessly clean and well equipped. This was our second visit and we would come again. Thank you

We love the Dunes, it’s our perfect happy place for a holiday hug.

It is beautifully appointed and kept, with generous details of comfort from throws to snuggle in, torches to explore with, to enough mugs, cutlery & egg cups for us all. We reluctantly leave,anxiously making plans for our next return.

The Dunes is the epitome of a perfect holiday cottage and to stay there is like being greeted by an enormous relaxing hug.

The furnishings and decor are vibrant and so comfortable and the position on the dunes is perfect for walks and play. It is beautifully appointed, everything you need is in place, and the drink & nibbles are much appreciated. The keysafe was proving difficult over our last visit, I’m sure it just needs a bit of freeing up.

The Dunes was a lovely house, it had everything you would need to make the stay enjoyable

A really comfortable, well-presented house with plenty of seating and great beds.

Fantastic location right by the dunes and the stunning beach with good walks from the door. We were all sad to leave.

loved the property the only minor gripe is that the television and remote are extremely clunky they could do with up dating

top quality house in Southwold; convenient for 8 adults and wonderful location - our third year running there

We stayed at The Dunes for my husband’s 60th birthday.

It was absolutely perfect for our family including our 2 year old grandson. We had the most wonderful time. The house is beautiful, every comfort has been considered, the decor is perfect and walking out to the beach from the garden works perfectly and it’s a short walk to the harbour with the fish and chips huts, even in the rain. On the whole, we loved it, we really enjoyed our time there and I really hope we can return. Communication with the company to ask questions was challenging as sometimes the answer was not clear on the website or via our account, we managed eventually. When we were asked to bring bedding for the travel cot, we hadn’t realised, it meant to also bring a mattress for it too, but we made a makeshift one that worked well. A fabulous stay, really comfortable, very stylish, win win, 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We absolutely love this property - this was our 3rd stay.

The facilities are just perfect - as is the view from the main bedroom! - and the location fabulous - straight out of the garden onto the dunes for dog walks, a short stroll to the harbour for fish & chips, so much within walking distance or a short drive - would have loved to stay longer and already looking forward to booking again! The owners have created a beautiful holiday home and the extra touches are very appreciated - the easter chocs certainly went down well! Also appreciated the very prompt maintenance visit to fix the bath plug hole and especially as it was Easter Monday, thank you.

Excellent trip.

The house is stunning. Well maintained and beautiful decor. We stayed there in 2024 and booked again as soon we returned. The location next to the sand dunes and beach was perfect for our Chocolate Labrador.

A fabulous house in a great position for a family holiday, we had 3 generations staying and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The house is very well appointed with plenty of crockery, cutlery, glassware etc and cooking was easy with the cookware available, which is often not the case in many places I’ve stayed. Our only negative is the internet was irritatingly slow but I mentioned it to the agents who have said they will look into it. Southwold itself was charming and the pier is a must to visit!

I booked this for my family as my husband and I were celebrating a special (big!

) wedding anniversary. It’s a lovely house in a great position for walking, and my young grandson was especially appreciative of the big Christmas tree that had been put in the lounge. It made everything look very festive! It’s a bit out on a limb (as indicated in the description of the property) so if you’re not fairly fit you will have to get in the car to get anywhere. It is spacious and well equipped. So often my experience with holiday homes is that the quantity of cutlery and plates etc is equivalent to the number of guests, but here there was plenty available. The beds were spacious and comfortable. It’s very suitable for anyone with mobility issues with its ground floor facilities and step free access. The shower downstairs is a cubicle with with a small step into it which I managed with no problem, although a grab rail would have been useful to have. But that’s a minor issue in what was a lovely weekend away.

Fantastic property, with lots of extras.

We had a great birthday weekend for my husband.

Possibly the best property we have stayed at as a family, perfectly located on the beach, impeccably furnished by someone with a good eye for detail, which left us relaxing in luxury.

I’d give 11 out of 10 if I could

Dunes is a beautiful house.

Location is amazing with fantastic views and perfect for walking into Southwold and getting the ferry to Walberswick. The house has everything we needed and was spotless. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Staying at the Dunes is a total joy!

It’s like walking in to an exciting warm hug, with the added extra of a wonderful view and direct access to the dunes and beach. It is as comfortable for just two people, as it is when we had all 7 of our extended family there. The enclosed and safe garden is a massive bonus for both dogs and children. Beautifully equipped, everything works and has been planned with ease of use and fun in mind. Thank you for allowing us to share such a perfect place,

Everything about the house was high quality with a couple of exceptions.

At this price point rattan style garden chairs are not acceptable as lounge furniture. Also sky sports subscription would be an excellent addition to the property. Other than that no complaints at all.

Lovely house and comfortable for the whole family - our second time!

We had such a fantastic stay at The Dunes, one of the best holiday homes we have stayed at.

It was clean, well equipped and beautifully decorated and the location was perfect for strolling to Southwold or down the harbour to get fish and chips or the little ferry across to Walberswick. It was home from home and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend booking The Dunes and we will be returning in the future!

this is a lovely property in a great location.

The owner really cares about the customer experience. Any suggestions for improvement were taken up with Humility and enthusiasm.

Excellent

Hi, the Dunes are so comfortable, and all you can do is chillout and we absolutely love the location.

When you first arrive the front of the property does not do it justice and when you walk in it’s just so homely. This was our second time and we are looking to book again for a 3rd. Cant wait to go back. The Bewicks.

The perfect seaside holiday home.

Exactly as described on the website. Warm, comfortable and well equipped. Could not have asked for any better. Many thanks :)

We loved the location of the holiday home.

To be able to walk out of the garden gate on to the dunes and the beach was ideal for us with two small children and a dog. Having three bathrooms and a downstairs loo was very convenient. The furniture was comfortable and practical and we were impressed with the number of games to play. The kitchen was well equipped and we even managed to bake a birthday cake. The bar area was great and so was the general decor.

Excellent property very well equipped and comfortable.

We absolutely love staying at The Dunes!

We have stayed twice this year and already booked a week for next year, we love it so much. The house is perfect and you can’t beat the location! It’s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the seaside any time of the year. Cannot wait to come back!

Staying in the Dunes was perfection.

The cottage was beautifully appointed with attention to detail in every area, it gave our senses a zing and our bodies a cuddle. The position is wonderful in all weathers, for everyone…big, small & hairy. We have just rebooked for next year!

Beautifully decorated and very clean.

Wonderful position and very nice garden. The only drawback that Bedroom 3 upstairs was very hot (a fan would improve this), Despite this, we have just booked The Dunes again for next year!

The Dunes was an absolutely amazing house.

It was so beautifully decorated and furnished and had everything we needed. The location is fantastic, we had a great holiday

Fabulous accommodation in a great location for the beach and for enjoying all that Southwold and Walberswick offer.

We enjoyed our 4 nights in March and looking forward to returning for longer in the summer. Parking will be easier when the dropped curb is sorted but this is really a minor niggle ;)

The property has been skilfully up dated and very nicely furnished internally , however, had we been a party of 8 we would have found 2 of the claimed 4 double bedrooms far to small to be comfortable .

That apart, internally it was 1st class . Externally it is a disappointment . It is at odds with all the effort that has been made inside . It's situation and general presentation is poor .

This is the second time we've stayed at The Dunes and it's such a lovely place.

House is excellent, extremely clean and very well maintained. Excellent situated with easy access to the town and all the lovely walks that the north coast of Suffolk provides. Highly recommend it. Phil

A beautiful house that was all it claimed to be.

Very well equipped kitchen. They had thought of everything.
