The flat was clean and spacious. The only disappointment was: no shower gel or shampoo, no paper towels, no beach towels, and very limited supplies of toilet paper. Bring your own! But the size of the place was great and it is very well situated for the beach and town. Good parking outside too!

Amazing place to stay

The Cannons is a spacious apartment pretty much in the heart of Southwold which is beautifully decorated, comfortably furnished and ideal for the perfect stay. Only downside is having to tear yourself away when it’s time to leave!

New Year In Southwold

We visit Southwold every year and have stayed in a variety of properties (including The Blyth which is in the same building) and the Cannons was by far the best. Lovely size, well appointed, comfortable and in an excellent location, we loved it.

The perfect property for staying in Southwold

As soon as we entered the property we were greeted by well thought out coastal decor and the property was clean. The property is a two minute walk to the beach and five minutes to the high street, making it an ideal base to explore what the town had to offer. The description of the property was accurate and at no point did we have difficulty parking close by. It was the perfect stay for our honeymoon - thank you!

The Cannons

Third time we’ve stayed here, it just has a really nice ambience. Lots of natural light and comfy chairs/sofa. Great location for pubs, shops, beach. Only way I’d fault it is the lack of lav paper!

Will Rebook

We’ve stayed in various properties in Southwold and this was by far our favourite. Perfect location and decor to a high spec. Plenty of cutlery, crockery, and glasses. Washing up liquid, dishcloth, tea towels and dishwasher tablets provided. We have already been looking to rebook for the Summer.

An excellent property for a short holiday with a toddler

We recently stayed at the Cannons with our daughter and 20 month old grand daughter. I chose it because of its open plan layout with no stairs once in the apartment and not too many doors. It turned out to be a perfect space for all of us. The bedrooms are large enough to accommodate a cot and having a separate bath and shower room meant that all needs were catered for. It is in a fabulous location with the seafront at the bottom of the road, the town centre a short walk away , a good kiddies playground close by and we managed to find street parking right outside the front door.I would recommend this property.

The kitchen was lacking a large saucepan for cooking pasta for 4 adults. No empty cupboard space for guests foodstuffs.The armchair had a bad stain on the seat cushion when it was turned over it was covered in dog hairs. The chair smelt of dog we do not have a dog and found it very off putting. There was no vaccuum for us to clean the chair. The rug needs replacing or shampooing.The beautiful large sash windows rattled in the windy weather they had pieces of wood and plastic wedged in them but still rattled. The guttering over the 2nd bedroom is blocked.The cental Heating timer needs adjusting came on at 3.30am The apartment was bright and welcoming ideal decoration for the seaside. Key safe pre-checkin information and information pack were very informative.

Hi, I would just ask anyone reading this to just look at all our previous 5 star reviews. I have just come back from the apartment and don’t recognise the issues raised. All the best, Lucy
