We really enjoyed our time at Lighthouse View. Russ was fantastic to deal with and very responsive. The lovely cottage was exactly as appears in the photos. The location was perfect - Sole Bay Inn 15 steps away with the sea view as you step out the door and a very close walk. Central location to all the interesting things to see and do. Be mindful of the steep stairs to the bed and bath if you have mobility issues. Would highly recommend.
Alot of love has gone into this cottage and it is a home from home .Great location in the centre of Southwold right in front of the lighthouse. Its quaint with a modern shower and bath .Great beds and towells .Spotlessly clean and well equipped with a lovely small courtyard which was great for our dog .We would definitely stay here again .
Perfect little cottage in the middle of Southwold. Everything on our doorstep so easy to nip in and out as we wished. Our dog loved it too, short stroll to the beach for zoomies đ. Would definitely consider staying here again for a relaxing break.
We really enjoyed our long weekend in Lighthouse View cottage in Southwold. The cottage is perfectly situated for the town and for the beach. The cottage has everything you would need. We would not hesitate to book it again for future visits to our favourite corner of England. We did a tour of the Adnams Brewery which is only a two minute walk away. We also visited Snape and went to a performance at the Maltings.
Really quaint cottage,very cosy,very well equipped....Could not fault it.....Just idyllic for us.Location to Seafront & beach ...mins away,shops&cafes nearby.....Ease of booking and communication from hosts was very professional...I guess yes the stairs are steep so good to be aware if limited mobility or issues of this nature,otherwise just 'Perfect'.
Super in every repect. Stayed here for several years now. Always one word of warning for the elderly and infirm, the we stairs are very steep. Care is needed. Other than that, superb. I think I'll be going for a few years yet, hopefull. Always take some warm clothing !!
All was good with the cottage and our host.
Our break was badly let down with communication with VBRO. We contacted them 3 times regarding an issue with the TVand received replies saying âsorry something went wrong at our endâ . This is not good enough and makes me reluctant to use VBRO in the future. Kath
We had a day in Southwold a couple of years previous and wanted to come back for longer. This cottage was perfect! only a short walk from the beach and the town centre. We really couldnt ask for any more.
Only negative (If any) is the fight for a parking spot. But worst case, there's always parking available on the front withour restrictions. So its a case of park there and wait for the opportunity to move your car closer later on.
But all in all, one of the most relaxing holidays we've ever had. We will be back
Wonderful little cottage BUT be warned.....exceedingly steep stairs. We are ok with these at present although there will come a time when we can not manage them!
Incredible state of the art tech. such as TV. Shower. Internet. heating systems etc.
Easy straight- forward procedure. Fantastic cottage in wonderful Southwold. One observation directed at not so "firm" folk. The stairs, as to be expected, are steep and a bit tricky. Another well placed grab rail would help. Having said that, despite having had THREE knee replacements, I managed fine! Highly recommend this sympathetically renovated quintisencial Southwold delight.
Comfortable and cosy cottage in the heart of Southwold. A few steps away from great pubs, Adnams brewery and excellent independent food shops. Lots of great walking from the doorstep and further afield along the coast. Great communication from the host. Highly recommended.
Quaint cottage in the heart of Southwold with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Situated under the lighthouse within easy reach of the beach and the high street. Love it here!
A lovely little cottage located on a quiet green just 1 minute walk from the beach. Ideal for our off-season week of walking, eating and relaxing. Good plumbing, good wifi and efficient, responsive owners.
We love Southwold in the winter, and Lighthouse View is a great base for getting the most out of this beautiful town. The cottage is beautifully appointed and very well equipped. Russell was excellent with communication, and the location is just brilliant - whether you want to benefit from being a stoneâs-throw from the beach, in and amongst the pubs and restaurants or easy access to the walks to the harbour, Walberswick and beyond
Owners Russ and Sue are pleased to share their delightful cottage with holidaymakers who would love to experience this wonderful location in the charming town of Southwold. Children over 4 years are welcome as is one well-behaved dog.
After much dreaming of owning a holiday home by the sea we finally made our dream a reality when we bought Lighthouse View in October 2013!
Our whole family fell in love with the property as soon as we set foot in it - it just felt right! Our children were also mesmerised by the views of the iconic lighthouse from the rear bedroom which they have claimed!
Lighthouse View is ideally located close to the beach with it's famous coloured beach huts being a stones throw away, our favourite pub - The Sole Bay Inn being a few doors away and the town being a mere two to three minute walk away.
Not only does Lighthouse View offer an excellent holiday location but Southwold's landmark lighthouse stands just over the wall of the cottage's rear courtyard. The fully-operational lighthouse is accessed from nearby Stradbroke Road and is open on certain dates for visitors to climb up to the top to enjoy the wonderful views. Children (and the young at heart) will be captivated by the gentle rotation of the lights from the lighthouse in the evening.
