On the plus side the apartment is situated in a very convenient location only a few minutes from the seafront with free parking on the street outside. It was clean and well-furnished and was ideal for a short break for the two of us.
On the minus side I would not agree that the property has "fantastic sea views" as you can only just see the sea from one side window in the lounge.
In addition, we found that the apartment felt rather sparse and lacked a few home comforts which we might have expected to find in a similar Southwold rental property. For example, lack of extra blankets, cushions, limited selection of games, books or puzzles, no oven gloves, limited cooking equipment, glasses and crockery, no basic food provisions e.g. salt for cooking and we found only a small amount of pepper, no cleaning items (apart from a bottle of washing up liquid and three dishwasher tablets) no brush and dustpan and only one toilet roll provided! If anyone was planning to stay longer then they would certainly have to come prepared if they were planning on doing any cooking at this apartment and I would advise that you bring your own blankets.
Although this is not related to the quality of the apartment, I have to add that for the first two nights of our three-night stay the people who were staying in the apartment above were extremely noisy and sounded as if they were rearranging the furniture or rolling bowling balls around the floor, until the early hours of the morning. Thank goodness they left before the final night of our stay, so we were able to get some undisturbed sleep.
