This is an attractive traditional cottage that is surprisingly spacious, sleeping up to eight in a simply brilliant location in Southwold less than 100 metres from both sea and town centre. It’s the stuff of dreams for making holiday memories with family or friends. Stock up on supplies, opt for retail therapy, admire the numerous galleries and stroll the promenade past the colourful beach huts to the restored pier or try a pint of Adnams’ finest – still brewed just outside the town. You can even take a tour of the brewery or gin distillery. Tick the lighthouse, RNLI boat station and harbour off the list too! Just don’t forget the fish and chips – there’s a few options in town plus fish shacks at the harbour end selling line-caught fish plus seafood if you want to take it back to your cosy bolthole. While you’re there, if it’s summer, catch the traditional foot ferry across the water to Walberswick which is equally quaint to explore. Southwold Museum can give you the full story of this fascinating little town that’s shifted from fishing village to weekend favourite.
This charming house is beautifully appointed throughout with tasteful decor and nods to the sea. Downstairs, a huge L-shaped sofa unit calls you to relax in front of the wood burner on your own or with the family. Pick a good book from the shelves lining part of the walls. A second, smaller snug lounge can serve as the fourth bedroom thanks to a sofa bed. The modern fitted kitchen has some bar seats and serves all your holiday purposes – from morning coffee to a seafood evening feast. Eat the latter in the dining room, comfortably seating eight at its light-wood table and, if it’s low season, why not light the wood burner in here too for that extra warmth? The decadence continues upstairs with two lovely king-size bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, plus a twin room. They all provide really welcoming spaces with armchairs in the bigger rooms and nautical-themed details and colour schemes. A contemporary bathroom has a shower over the bath and WC. All in all, this property offers the absolute luxury of spending time all together, in small groups or even alone – just perfect for a harmonious family holiday!
There is an enclosed private courtyard with garden furniture nestled behind the house.
