Delightfully minimalistic and thoughtfully laid out, this studio apartment is equipped with two fold-down single beds making it the perfect choice for friends holidaying together. Wander out to make the very most of Southwold, an ever-popular tourist trap on the stunning Suffolk coast. Within half a mile, you can find yourself lounging on the beach, admiring the pier’s famous water clock or getting to know the area’s history with a trip to the local museum. The town also boasts a brewery with regular tours, an independent cinema and plenty of pubs.. Cross the River Alde and follow the glorious coastline down to the village of Walberswick (1.5 miles) to find an off-the-beaten-track beach, or jump in the car for a day trip to popular nearby Lowestoft (13 miles).

With parquet flooring, clean white walls and authentic beams set in a vaulted ceiling, the high quality finish becomes apparent the moment you step through its door. You’ll find everything you need in one room with a fully fitted adjacent shower room. The living area of this generous space has been set up with comfortable sofas and a TV/DVD, the perfect spot for lounging of an evening. The kitchen/diner is just metres away, thoroughly equipped with everything you need to whip together a slap-up meal and a space to sit down and dine together. When it’s time for bed, transform this area into your very own twin bedroom by pulling two fold-out single beds from the wall. Easy to manage and extremely comfortable, this versatile sleeping solution promises you a blissful night’s sleep.

French doors lead out to a small courtyard with bench seating, which provides an excellent spot to start the day with your morning coffee.

This cottage was spotlessly clean and very centrally located. Parking space also very useful. Well equipped with fabulous shower and ingenious folding beds which were so comfy. Parking space and patio also a real benefit. Had a fabulous stay, very comfy and peaceful. Would thoroughly recommend.

We had a nice stay in The Folly, we were very lucky with the weather which makes for an even better stay. Beds were quite comfortable and all bedding/towels and tea towels were clean and fresh. Would have liked a little bedside table to put my phone, drink and specs on. A good supply of kitchen utencils/crockery were supplied should you decide toRead more cook. Perfectly situated for the town, beach and harbour. We stayed for 7 nights but think it is more suitable for a 3/4 day break, The parking space is small, we took our MIni but a Corsa size car would fit. Hide

I booked The Folly so I could join family on holiday. I was staying here alone and it was perfect for one. The property is in a good location- very near the high street and a few minutes walk to the beach. The Folly is light & airy. Blinds keep the space private from another holiday property across the yard. There are two pull-out beds which arRead moree surprisingly comfortable and easy to use. The bathroom is small, but everything works well. The kitchen is fairly well equipped, I must admit I didnt cook many meals. The sitting area is pleasant and the sofas are comfortable too. Everything I needed for a weeks stay. Hide

The Folly is a very comfortable place to stay in the centre of Southwold. It has everything you need to make you feel at home and feels very spacious for the size as it is very well designed.

A comfortable modern open plan property situated in the centre of town but surprisingly quiet. Our Christmas break was perfect in wonderful Southwold. Upon arrival we found a pleasant surprise: a Christmas tree, panettone and a bottle of champagne; a kind gesture.
