“We have been renting houses in Southwold for many years, but this was the first time we have stayed at Walton House.”
The dining room could seat all of us and guests we had over (13 people!), and we then all sat comfortably in the lounge. It's rare to find such spacious accommodation. Whilst the stairs to the top floor were a bit of a challenge for the oldest (89-year-old) member of the party, he did manage them. I would suggest reconfiguring the zip-and-link beds on the first floor to two singles, as the other, spritelier, members of the party were all couples, and required double beds. We enjoyed, and made use of, the upper snug, including for flute practice. The central position in town is superb, and pre-breakfast swims, and a nip to Tescos for the smallest thing were easy, plus fish and chips opposite and H&J ice creams practically next door (as well as The Nelson). It is not the most perfectly-presented house we have stayed in, but conversely, this gave it great character, as ultra-modernised properties can be a bit too much, particularly when you have sand stuck to your feet from the beach. This is one of the best of the many houses we have stayed in, despite the oddities such as a very small yard, being able to hear people in the charity shop below, the shop getting stock from the shed in the courtyard, and some of the original door catches no longer closing properly (which can make it difficult to keep a dog off the beds, although stair gates were provided). We will be booking for next year!
Many thanks for the feedback.
It’s super thoughtful and 100% accurate.
Captures the spirit of the property beautifully.
In fact it’s so thoughtful we’d like to offer you a 10% discount for the time taken.
Just mention to BoS when you pay the balance.
