Briar Patch Reviews

Lynda
Great location, super spacious house ideal for family get together
Alison
The property is very comfortable and in a fantastic location with ample parking. This was our second visit and we will probably return again. The property adequately accommodates 8 people. We did have a small issue with the heating but the owners were great and very prompt yo resolve the problem. I would definitely recommend the property.
Martin
Wonderful property in a very convenient location. Spotlessly clean on arrival. We had a fantastic week in Southwold and Suffolk, and would certainly book again. Thank you!
Steph
We loved the house, the open plan. Had everything we needed. Multiple bathrooms and sleeping. The garden was great. Ideally situated and would stay again.
Joanne
What a beautiful place! elegant yet comfy too, a perfect home from home. The garden was just wonderful for our four legged friends, a joy to sit in and relax at the end of the day of beach walks for us too. The location is perfect, near everything (beach, pier, shops and pubs) but quiet and peaceful too. On practicalities; Spotlessly clean, well equipped, parking space available and parking on the road easily available too (guess that may be different in summer), heating etc instructions clear, easy to use. So impressed will be booking again!
Julia
The cottage was comfortable and there was plenty of space for the 5 of us and a dog, who particularly loved the garden. It is ideally located for the high street, beach and pier.
Megan
We had a great stay at Briar Patch, it was a real home from home for 3 generations of our family plus the dog. It managed to be at once cosy and spacious, and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay.
Helem
Fantastic location, great for parking, easy walk to pier, beach, shops and restaurants. A very spacious house especially considering we had two families including teenagers! My second time at Briars Patch and we will be back!
Susan
Excellent location, spacious and easy parking. Our family group of mixed ages enjoyed their stay at Briar Patch.
Alison
Lovely cottage and in a great location. It's a great size for 8 people and has a really nice flow to it. The quality of the furniture and kitchen items was excellent. There are a couple of issues we have flagged to the owner ie the dishwasher really needs replacing and all the sinks, taps etc need the limescale removing. Simple things to fix. Having said that we loved it and have booked again for next year.
Gill
Very comfortable stay. Accomodation was perfect for elderly Dad who needs a wheeled frame to get about.
Anna
Lovely property. Great location, 5 mins from beach and the pier and not much more to the town centre. 3 generations fit well into the house.1 big and 1 small car can fit on the drive infront of the garage. The bedrooms were all lovely and easily fit 8 which included 2 twin rooms. Would definitely stay again. Southwold is a lovely place and has a great beach. Plenty of places around for eating.
Emma
Great location, lovely house, fabulous gardenâ?¦ another great week for us in Southwold
Sylvia
The cottage is in a perfect location for the beach and high street.
Jocelyn
Lovely clean cottage in a great location for the pier and town - try the tea room near the boating lake The cottage had plenty of room for 7 adults and a baby and dog highly recommend
Monica
Spacious and well-equipped cottage in a quiet location with easy access to the sea and high street. Would highly recommend
Shelley
The property is in a fantastic location no more than 300 yards from anything you need. Linen and towels were in plentiful supply. Beds were comfy and once the fire was lit you knew you were on holiday in Southwold in February. Bath is huge. We will most certainly stay again.
