Swallows Southwold Reviews

Roberta
Great property in a perfect location. House had everything you needed. Very comfortable will definitely return
Roberta
Could not do better when renting a house in Southwold for a family holiday...
Philippa
Lovely location, v nice furnishings, nice local Norfolk products in the bathrooms. Big family style kitchen dining. Ideal for group meals and playing games
David
Great location, spacious house, great facilities and a cook's kitchen. Lovely big table to eat outside, plus a huge table in the kitchen so that everyone can eat together. Very useful garage that can accommodate a large car. Comfortable beds, five loos, and every bedroom is ensuite. The only suggestion for improvement is that the house could be a little cleaner - it would benefit from a deep clean.
Helen
Beware the gulls! We really enjoyed staying here however the seagulls at 4.25am each morning are a huge nuisance. They sat on the roof to the property itself cawing and shrieking. I know seagulls are local to the area but having stayed elsewhere in Southwold and not experienced this to the same degree, some form of deterrent was a needed. In the meantime, take earplugs!
Sophie
A comfortable and spacious house in a fabulous location. We would be happy to return!
Roberta
Great property in a fantastic location, beach and shops a short walk away. House spotlessly clean and well equipped. Will definitely come back
Jeremy
Excellent holiday accommodation well equipped and beautifully situated. Loved the eclectic art collection although it got mixed reviews from our group.
Eunice
Really appreciate having more than 8 mugs and plates in the cupboard. Saves having to wash up before you make another drink or meal!! We have been coming to this house for several years now and we all feel itâ??s home from home. So thank the property owners for allowing us to share their property with them.
Malcolm
Wonderful accommodation. Perfect for 8 of us. Comfortable and well equipped with a perfect location in the town.
Angela
Spent a week ideal for 8 adults, kitchen well equipped, clean and comfortable. Lovely area, had a great time.
Jo
Great house which is equally cosy and airy for all seasons. Really comfortable shared living space with large bedrooms to give everyone their own space. Kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable and the garden was big enough for 8 adults. Location cannot be beaten, everything in Southwold on your doorstep. We have rented a few times in Southwold and this was hands down our favourite property.
Philippa
Very well located and comfortable house.
Helen
Really lovely, well appointed property with a pleasant back yard. Seagulls very noisy at the property from around 4am until 5.30am but by the seaside, it's something that can't be helped! Added to the charm.
Jo
Lovely place to stay with family .
Karen
Swallows is a beautiful property located just behind the high street. Everything was of a very high standard and we all commented on how comfortable the beds and pillows were. It really was a property that accommodated the 8 people it sleeps. From the seats at the table, both inside and out. The sofa area and importantly for us, enough wine glasses to go round. I had an amazing time in this property and would definitely recommend to others.
Valerie
Another comfortable stay at 'Swallows'. Great location with easy walking distance to everything.
Barbara
Excellent property. Spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. In a great and convenient location for everything. There were 8 of us and there was ample room for everyone. All the bedrooms are a great size. Before we arrived we had wondered if we would be able to get our car in the garage but we did - just. We had another car in the party and there was no problem finding a space on the nearby roads. (This is in May.) We wouldn't hesitate to return.
Jim
Excellent location that we have used multiple times.
