Property code: OC-HHIGH

A lovely four-bedroom home located close to the waterfront in Southwold. The combination of accessible features, family room, and various lounge areas make this property ideal for an extended family or large group of friends to share as they explore this beautiful area. Southwold is one of the highlights of the Suffolk Coast and offers a traditional British seaside holiday. Enjoy the endless stretch of beach with its colourful beach huts and historic pier filled with amusements and arcades. Explore the town with its independent shops, lighthouse, brewery and excellent restaurants, or leave town to stroll on the common or alongside the River Blyth.

Enter this property via a lobby with plenty of storage for shoes and coats. Follow the painted wooden floorboards through the wide doorway to the spacious lounge with a collection of sofas and armchairs - including one adjustable/electric armchair - and views across the garden to Southwold pier. A vast, airy, L-shaped kitchen comes fully equipped with everything you need to cater for a large party, including a dining table for nine, additional seating at the breakfast bar, and a cosy seating area with a leather sofa and easy chairs. The ground floor is also home to a family room which sleeps four in a double bed and full-sized bunk beds and has an elegant en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is an accessible single. It features a fully adjustable bed with a pressure relief mattress and a ceiling hoist with tracking to the shared bathroom, which holds an accessible shower, WC and handbasin plus grab rails. A spiral staircase with a stair gate at the top leads from the kitchen to the first floor. There you will find a second sitting room stylishly decorated with polished wooden floorboards, leather sofas and easy chairs arranged around the wood burner. Glass doors lead out to a furnished balcony with beautiful views of Southwold pier and the sea. Off the living room lies the main bedroom with a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom on the first floor is a twin, accessed via three steps down from the living room. A separate WC off the sitting room means no one has to go downstairs at night to use the facilities. Aside from the first-floor balcony, this property has a ground-floor wheelchair-accessible garden and south facing deck accessed from the kitchen. The deck is furnished with chairs and a table and has a ramp leading down to the garden and parking area. From the decking, you can access a handy utility room with laundry facilities, a freezer, BBQ and storage space.

This property has parking for three cars, one space has a level paved path to the entrance lobby of the accomodation. The other two spaces are inside the gated and fenced garden.

Hightide is a lovely property if you need disabled facilities. It's so hard to get a property that provides an electric bed and hoist and it's always nerve wracking when we go anywhere new in case it doesn't have what you've been promised! When we walked in to Hightide all the doors were closed and it looked quite dark and for a moment I wondered Read moreif we'd come to the correct property as it didn't look like the pictures on the website! However after opening the doors, I couldn't be more wrong, what you see on the website pictures is what you get, a roomy well set out house that more than accommodated what we needed for my disabled daughter. The kitchen was the best stocked self catering kitchen I've ever been in and it was so nice to have towels and tea towels provided along with a small supply of loo rolls, soap and so on. I would definitely want to stay here again and my daughter is already planning a visit for next year. Thank you for providing such a nice place to stay. Hide

We really enjoyed staying in this spacious and well equipped property. The location is fantastic being about one minute away from the beach.

This was our 3rd stay at Hightide as a group of 8 friends. The house is very spacious, comfortable, well equipped with versatile communal spaces ideally situated opposite the pier.

This was an excellent property in a good location out of town but not too far. The property allows grandparents and family to have separate living areas to allow for those different TV choices. The property was warm and cosy and parking was an extra benefit.

Our second time staying at the property & we've booked it again for next year. A thoroughly enjoyable stay in a lovely, large, comfortable & well equipped property right opposite the pier. We loved the alterations made inside with an additional shower room & toilet and new furnishings. Thoroughly recommend High Tide.
