  • A spacious five-bedroom cottage in the heart of Southwold, just metres from the beach.
  • Soak up the sun on the large enclosed patio
Property code: OC-HHOLEY

A lovely terraced cottage conveniently located close to both the seafront and high street of Southwold. This five-bedroom property, is the perfect retreat for an extended family or group of friends wanting to be beside the seaside. Southwold is the quintessential seaside resort. With its beautiful beach, colourful beach huts, amusement-filled pier, fish and chip shops and ice cream parlours, it has everything you could want from a traditional British beach holiday. Stroll the promenade, visit the lighthouse, tour the historic brewery, browse the independent shops and galleries, and dine at any number of excellent pubs and restaurants. If you fancy a change, head inland to explore the marsh, common and banks of the River Blyth.

The interior of this terraced cottage is far more spacious than it appears from the street. It contains comfortable, airy rooms and plenty of space for a group of ten plus a dog. On the ground floor, under atmospherically beamed ceilings, you’ll find a good-sized living room with a wood burner inside an impressive stone fireplace, and a dining room with a long wooden table which easily seats ten. The large kitchen contains everything you need to cater for a large party, including a dishwasher, and access to the garden. Also on the ground floor, in an extension built onto the cottage, is a super kingsize bedroom with an en-suite, wet-room style shower. The other four bedrooms are upstairs. On the first floor, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms, a king, a bunk bed room, and a twin room with beds that can be made up as a king on request. You’ll also find two shared bathrooms, one with a bath and shower-over and one with a shower cubicle. A second flight of steep, narrow stairs takes you to the top floor and a delightful twin bedroom tucked under the sloping eaves, lit by twin dormer windows.

French doors from the kitchen lead out to the enclosed garden laid with patio and shingle. The space contains a large table with chairs and a parasol, and a BBQ, ideal for al fresco meals on warm evenings.

We have been visiting Southwold now for over 50 years and this must be our third or fourth visit to Holyestone. This time it was for a special birthday celebration for my wife and all of our family, a party of ten. The house was immaculate, scrupulously clean and we lacked nothing for our needs. It is maintained to an extremely high standard. We Read morewould like to thank the owners for this, well done, and would say that you are Highly recommended Hide

A great cottage in an excellent location. There was only one car space but the other two spaces we needed were easily found within 5 mins walk, with no parking restrictions. All 10 of us really enjoyed the holiday.

Perfect location, loved the annex, ideal for our extended family. Parking could have been an issue but we could find space for the second car on the common car park at no cost.

This cottage is in a fantastic location for everything Southwold. Parking for one car at the rear of the property (no black gate, as mentioned in the directions) very warm with extra electric heaters supplied. A bit of a Tardis on the inside so very spacious. Stairs to attic room are very narrow and steep which is worth noting. Excellent shower anRead mored hot water system. Bath on mid floor and second shower to service those rooms. Plenty of hanging space Hide

Property in a great location with parking (for one car only). The downstairs extension was great but the rest of the property is ready for refurbishment.

Overall very good indeed and had a lovely time. Two things to mention. The central heating has a fault (F9) and goes off 3 or 4 times a day so you have to keep resetting it which can be a pain. Secondly the arrival instructions refer to a black gate but there isnt a black gate! Overall though Id score our stay a 9/10.

3 branches of our family celebrated a 70th & 40th birthday at your cottage, 6 adults & 3 children, aged from 5 to 75.. The layout worked well for us overall & there was room to adapt to our family group needs. We had amazing weather for our weekend & made full use of the local amenities. Southwold had even laid on an arts festival with a parade whiRead morech we hadn't known about. Thank you! Only small problem was with keys- the 2 sets of keys were not a matching set & caused some confusion as we didn't always go out mob handed. Maybe each set could include both front door & kitchen door (to garden & back entrance) access & those extra doors in annex could be kept separately in the cottage on a clearly marked hook? Hide
