Property code: OC-AASOUT

Arranged over three floors with sea views and balconies, this delightful townhouse is what coastal dreams are made of – perfect for up to ten guests visiting Southwold and the Suffolk coast. Southwold is the epitome of British seaside charm, with its iconic lighthouse, traditional pier and colourful beach huts. There’s plenty to do here, from traditional seaside amusements, to beach days, and a vibrant high street with independent shops, boutiques, galleries and eateries. Part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are beautiful walking trails all around from coastal routes to heaths and woodland, and several lovely nature reserves, including RSPB Minsmere (11.5 miles). The region is full of culture and heritage too with castles at Orford (24.5 miles) and Framlingham (20 miles), and a festival hall and gallery complex at Snape Maltings (19 miles).

This is an elegant townhouse in an excellent location, offering an abundance of space and charm, and fabulous attention to detail throughout. Enter through the front porch and turn into the light and airy lounge, which has a choice of comfortable seating, a TV and DVD, and a wood burner-effect gas fire. Down the hallway, there’s a formal dining room with a table for ten, and a spacious fitted kitchen with a breakfast table and chairs, and a door to the patio. Beyond this is a utility room and a downstairs cloakroom, along with a separate day room with a corner sofa, a TV and a desk, and another door to the patio. On the first floor, there are three beautifully presented bedrooms, separated by a few steps: a double, a twin, and a master king-size with an en-suite shower room and a door to a balcony with lovely sea views. There’s also a light and fresh family bathroom with a free-standing bath. The final three bedrooms – a super-king-size and two single rooms with sea views, one of which has a balcony – are on the second floor, along with a shower room.

Outside, a long, paved courtyard with flowering planters, a couple of benches, and a bistro table and chairs offer a lovely spot to enjoy a meal or drink in the salty sea air.

The house was even better than we had expected .. absolutely perfect for 6 adults, 2 teenagers, an 8 year old and 1 well behaved dog. The occasion was an important family one my 80th birthday(!), so a delicious roast dinner was prepared and cooked in the amazingly well-equipped kitchen, by 1 couple with assistance from extra hands for peeling etc.Read more Those in the house, as well as further family of 5 adults and a 4 and 2 year old, staying nearby all ate comfortably in the dining room and breakfast area. There was an enormous amount of space for children to play safely, or watch tv, allowing the adults to relax and thoroughly enjoy themselves. The weather was chilly but bright and we all walked to the Harbour Inn along the beach, dunes and track, as well as exploring the town. The house was ideally situated a short walk from everywhere .. the pier, the beach and the shops. Perfect in every way. We will definitely come to Southwold House again and have already recommended it to several friends. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to share your magnificent property! Hide

There is nothing negative to say about Southwold House! It's a beautiful house with comfortable furnishings throughout and set in a perfect location close to the sea. It's a large house and we were concerned it would feel a bit chilly for a winter break however we were all very cosy and comfortable. All six bedrooms were of a good size with comfortRead moreable beds etc. The kitchen is well stocked and a great sociable area, we made a full roast dinner with no problem at all. There are 3 other downstairs living areas and we made use of all of them. I would definitely return to this property. Hide

Spacious with lots of rooms to get away when needed but also large sitting room, kitchen and dining room when we were all together. Smart, well located and friendly house. Perfect for our weeks holiday en famille!

I booked Southwold House to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary with family and friends. We have been coming to Southwold nearly every year since 2011 and Southwold House is the best accommodation we've experienced. In an excellent location, it is very well appointed and equipped, with plenty of room for all.
