8/10 Good
"A lovely terraced house in Southwold - great location close to the beach and the shops, well- equipped and tastefully decorated. The house and rooms are cosy and comfortable and great place for a family. The bathroom on the 1st floor has a small bath-tub - it would have been great if there was a shower screen, but alas, we had lots of baths instead. Holiday Cottages - the agency that handles the guests are generally unhelpful, sadly giving the impression that guests are just a pain, and / or they couldn't care less."
