St James House Reviews

Julia
A spacious house in an amazing location. It has a beautiful garden, and we loved the piano.
Linda
St James house is in a superb location only minutes from the beach. The house is well furnished and has everything needed for a lovely family holiday . Although no off street parking, this is not a problem as there is plenty of free parking in the vicinity.
Ann
Compensation for broken sleep due to faulty fire alarm would be welcomed and only fair? Would you consider this? We liked being so near to the sea and why I booked it and we made the most of it all but it was spoilt greatly by alarm noise disturbing us and our sleep throughout the night and day which was beyond our being able to resolve and the overly fierce fire doors banging shut causing more noise if you forgot to slow them down and constantly worrying and telling children mind your fingers in the doors or opening and closing it for them which we do not have to do at home! Would recommend due to location but also warn them re fire doors problem and to ensure alarm checked and working before their stay.
Philip
Overall, very good. House well equipped and suitable for the numbers specified . Lots of stair cases , but ok once you got used to them. Would have liked a better seating area in the garden , but obviously limited in the space available. Lots of seagull noise , but again , one got used to them. Location excellent within easy walking distance of all the shops and other facilities in the town. Pub within 100 yards. Generally a most enjoyable week
Denise
The cottage is well equipped and in a great location for beach and shops but tucked away in quiet location. The various lounges give great flexibility especially with multi generational guests.
Helen
fabulous house. perfect location.
Teresa
Third wonderful year of a week at this great house. Appreciate the space so that one of us can make music while others chill or draw.
Robert
A superbly located house very close to the beach and the Sole Bay Inn and a short walk from the high street. There are lots of different rooms for members of the group to escape to or work in if necessary. It ticks many different boxes.
Barbara
Wonderful location and property. We enjoyed a fabulous week with a multigenerational family group. There was space for everyone to do their own thing. The welcome gifts and flowers were a very nice touch. We would hope to visit again.
Mary
My partner and I had a fabulous week here. The house is amazing and is located a two minute walk from the heart of Southwold. The house has been very tastefully decorated and the nicest master bedroom we have ever had from a holiday home. Everything had been well thought through. The garden was perfect for our dog, completely enclosed and secure. It is ideal for families or groups of friends. We will definitely visit again

St Jamesâ??s House is just perfect for a holiday in Southwold. Fantastic position, lots of space, beautiful house.

A beautiful, clean, well appointed and perfectly positioned holiday home. Easy parking and a mature, private rear garden made our stay here a real treat. All rooms were expertly presented making our family feel both welcomed and special as soon as we walked through the door. An ideal place to stay in one of the UKs best seaside towns.
Hugh
Very well equipped house with ample space, close to the sea and a few minutes walk from the high street. Lovely large garden, perfect for a family holiday. On street parking was easy too.
