"Lovely comfortable property (although 'a little dark' in the living room)."
Well appointed with everything needed for a stay. Centrally positioned with the High Street, Seafront & pier all within a 5 minute walk. On street parking but our group involving three vehicles had no problem in finding spaces in the street. Recommended & would stay again!

"The property is a bit tired in places and the sitting room is very dark, but beyond this the property is very well located very close to the sea front and town centre."
Three bedrooms all on-suite is good. Having a downstairs bedroom makes it excellent if anyone has difficulty climbing the stairs. We had a very pleasant stay.

"A lovely property which was great for our family."
A very comfortable and warm house with everything we could possibly need including 3 great bathrooms and wonderful artwork displayed throughout the rooms . Thank you so much for letting us bring our dogs too - they had a wonderful week and loved the beach . The first property we’ve had in all the years we’ve been coming to Southwold which had comfy sofas making us feel welcome! One tiny thing to say is we found the living room a bit dark but that’s just us and not a criticism. We had a great week . Much appreciated.

"We loved the house but suggest considering put up some blinds in the kitchen area as we found it too hot to sit at the table."
Hi Charlotte, so glad you enjoyed the house, we love it and stay whenever we can. Thank you for your suggestion, we did consider blinds when we first designed the kitchen extension, but due to the angle the only option would be electric which would have to be bespoke and very expensive, with all the problems if it goes wrong. I hope you managed to eat outside under the umbrella instead and enjoyed staying in Southwold and all it has to offer. Best wishes Val x Property Owner

"Great house with virtually everything you would need."
Only small gripes. No dishwasher rinse aid and salt and pepper grinders beef replacing Probably main issue is poor Wi Fi signal upstairs
Thankyou, I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay, we love staying too when we can find a gap! The rinse aid and salt should be topped up by the cleaners so in theory it shouldn’t be needed, apologies if it was, ive mentioned this to the cleaners. The salt n pepper pots will be checked. And unfortunately the internet isn’t brilliant in Southwold regardless of provider, but we are looking into a better extender which will hopefully help. Thankyou for the comments, it’s good to know any issues so we can sort them out. Best wishes Val (owner) Property Owner

"Beautiful house and extremely well furnished and equipped to a very high standard."
Just need more tumblers - 1/2 pint and 1 pint glasses as not enough for 6 people. Loved the art work and 'pieces'.

"Really enjoyed our stay at 37 Stradbroke Road."
The house was immaculate and had everything we could have wished for to make a relaxing, comfortable stay. Will definitely come again.

"Fantastic, stylish accommodation with some unique pieces of art and personal touches!"
The fixtures and fittings are top quality, from the beds, linen and towels to the kitchen, furniture and outdoor seating. To have 3 ensuite bedrooms was an absolute dream and all with showers … so no queue for the bathroom! The property is centrally located, but amazingly so very quiet and plenty of on street parking directly outside. Communication with the owners was clear and helpful - the extra information sheet on the area was really helpful and a lovely touch as was the welcome pack … very well received thank you. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this fabulous home … 5 stars for sure.
Thank you Neil, so happy you had a lovely break. Look forward to welcoming you back xx val Property Owner

"Lovely house but one shower not working as it should & this seemed to be a surprise to Best of Suffolk but we’d have thought that would have been evident when cleaning."
apparently maintenance came into the house to fix whilst we were out. Failed to fix & didn’t let us know that they had tried. Owner got in touch & helped us resolve ourselves but a temporary fix so still needs sorting. All seating very low & not very comfortable particularly for older person. Ground floor bedroom ideal for an older person so incompatible. Beds exceptionally comfortable. Better explanation of tv operation would have been helpful & some scissors in the kitchen.
Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased to confirm that the shower at 37 Stradbroke Road has since been repaired, the owner has stocked up the kitchen and a TV specialist has resolved the issue with the television ariel, so it is straightforward to operate. We are delighted to know that overall you enjoyed your time at 37 Stradbroke Road, and hope that with these reassurances of repairs that we can welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

"A beautiful house but our stay was marred by two things."
1) The TV is awful, I'm an IT manager and managed to get BBC up and running but anybody else would struggle. A property as nice as this should have Freeview on tap without any of the associated problems with the current system. Also - asking people to unplug the TV and plug it back in again is ridiculous. As a family group we would have liked to sit down in the evening and watch whatever channel we wanted. This was not possible and caused much dark muttering. 2) In the evening with the nights drawing in we all congregated in the back lounge after we had our meal (there was no TV to watch after all!) and our wives felt very exposed as the rear patio doors had no blinds. I appreciate many people would not be bothered about this but an option to close a blind and shut the dark night out would have been welcomed. The property itself was as nice as we hoped, comfortable beds and great showers and perfectly located for exploring Southwold and apart from the TV couldn't be faulted.
Thank you for providing your feedback, we are very sorry that you had difficulty with the TV, we do not advertise as having Freeview, rather a smart TV with streaming apps and live TV is only available via appropriate apps so we apologise for any disappointment caused. We are looking in to installing an aerial to allow for terrestrial channels in the near future. We are delighted that you enjoyed the property and do hope to welcome you back in the future.

"A really lovely property that has been beautifully renovated."
Well equipped and decorated with flair. Perfect position for the beach and the town

"We loved no37."
What a great job the owners have done. Very stylish, all mod cons. Loved the art and the books. Couple of thoughts - not really negatives. The garden needs a bit of attention. Hedge needs cutting, patio needs weeding. A couple of deckchairs and a patio umbrella would have been most welcome. As things stand, it's very hard to to sit out when the sun is shining... Best Mike

"Absolutely lovely house!"
Very high quality linen, kitchen equipment, and layout. We loved the artwork too and the property ticked our three most important 'wants.' Comfy bed, good powerful shower, comfy sofas! 10/10 and would definitely come back.
So glad you enjoyed your visit! Look forward to hosting you again soon. Val Property Owner
