There’s so much joy to be had when staying in this Southwold holiday home, a remarkable four-bedroom property that’s simply teeming with character. With pastel-painted terraces, beach huts and family-run fish and chip shops, Southwold is a wonderful place to stay on the East Suffolk coast. You’ll find yourself at the beach within half a mile, passing by a wide array of boutique shops and eateries that deserve to be explored. Admire the commanding scenery of the Suffolk Heritage Coast with a walk along the seafront, perhaps following a pathway all the way past the neighbouring village of Walberswick (1.5 miles) to discover Dunwich Beach (8 miles) and RSPB Minsmere (11 miles).

This is a wonderfully well-rounded two-storey house, complete with original Victorian features and an updated home-from-home décor that creates the most welcoming of spaces. On entry, you can stow away any outdoor gear in the spacious hallway before veering into the kitchen/diner or comfortable lounge. Decorated in neutral tones, the lounge is a decidedly pleasant space with ample seating, an open fire and a TV in way of entertainment. You can spend relaxing evenings here when all is done in the kitchen/diner - a contemporary space with everything you could need for cooking up your family's favourites. Along with a handy ground-floor WC, this lower level is completed by a king-size bedroom with views out across the common. As you head on up to the first floor, you’ll find a spacious landing and French doors that open onto a balcony - another great spot for soaking up the sights of Southwold common. Here, you’ll find three good-sized and inviting bedrooms, one super-king-size, one super-king-size with zip-and-link beds and a final twin. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom that can also be accessed from the landing, and a final shared bathroom completes the property’s layout.

You’ll find grassy spaces both in front of and behind this accommodation, ensuring that you can follow the sun for alfresco breakfasts and evenings in the sun. The enclosed rear garden is the more private of the two, complete with furniture and a handy charcoal BBQ so you can make the most of warmer weather.

We absolutely loved the house. It was airy and light. All the beds were really comfortable. House very well equipped indeed (we particularly liked the massive selection of books to read). In fact, it was such a great house that we have already booked it again for next year. Best we have ever stayed at through Suffolk Secrets

Very good communication prior to the visit; easy directions and access; everything we needed was available with a few nice touches and we had no need to contact the owner during the visit. Lovely, Immaculate home from home in a great location for shops, beaches etc. Highly recommended.
