The apartment far exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean. Tastefully decorated. All appliances were top quality, although we only used the wonderful coffee machine. All the rooms are spacious, with a very comfortable bed. Everything you could wish for has been thought of in the Southwold Loft, and we would'nt hesitate to recommend the apartment, it's fantastic. Also a perfect location, and we were able to park outside the apartment during our 5night stay.

Excellent location- right by town short walk to beach, 15mins to harbour.. Opposite common - great to walk or sit with a drink and watch the sunset. Parking space - would be difficult to park otherwise. Very much home from home type of place. Very comfy beds and lovely linen. Downstairs loo - great for my elderly mum.
