"Absolutely perfect house, we were attending a wedding and right next to the church. House was incredible and Lysters attention detail was second to none, thank you so much we will be back."
"We had a wonderful stay in Southwold at this gem! We visited for the Latitude Festival and it was the perfect base for exploring a bit of Southwold and travelling into the festival each day. The property was spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!"
"Great comfortable stay for the family. We parked at York Road a few minutes away. You are at town or the beach within minutes. Host was very friendly and quick to get respond. Beds were comfortable and it had everything we needed. We enjoyed having two seating areas when teens wanted their own space to chill for a bit. I would stay again. Thank you."
"Just got back from a 3 night stay here. Gorgeous place, lovely and clean. Great location and didn’t struggle to park. Would definitely recommend, thank you 😊"
"Lovely house clean and well presented. close to all shops and amenities. Parking a bit of a pain, share yard not for me, but 5 out of 5 as match description. Would book for abode again."
"Lovely stay here, host was more than helpful with regular messages and advice, recommendations etc. Would definitely stay again. Thank you"
"Wonderful stay. The location is perfect. Kitchen large and well equipped. Lyster was a gracious and helpful host. Will definitely stay there again!"
"We loved Lyster’s house in Southwold, the location was fantastic, just off the High Street with lovely shops and places to eat. We had Sunday lunch at The Crown which was very nice & pizzas from Doh Pizzeria. The house was clean, warm and comfortable with plenty of seating for all our party. Lyster has renovated the house beautifully with thoughtful touches. Communication with Lyster was brilliant. We would highly recommend staying here in Southwold."
"Amazing stay in the heart of Southwold. We had an amazing time and would definitely come back"
"The accommodation is really nice. It is situated just off the High Street - perfect for walking into the town and very close to the beach. We were a party of 6. We found the accommodation spacious and well laid out. The new kitchen was lovely and clean, as were the bathrooms. If we visit Southwold again I would definitely consider staying in this property again. Lyster was very attentive before and during our stay."
