Property code: OC-SL175

This fabulous property, situated less than 50 metres from access to The Denes Beach in Southwold, is the ultimate luxurious retreat. Sleeping four over two stunning bedrooms, this coastal hideaway is ideal for families, friends or couples that are looking to treat themselves to a bit of rest and relaxation by the sea. Head up to the loft bedroom out onto the balcony to soak up panoramic views of the beach from the deckchairs, taking in your beautiful surroundings.

This property has a fantastic open-plan contemporary style with bright and airy neutral interiors that help to make the most of the views from the windows. Spend afternoons snuggled up on the sofa in front of the open flame gas fire in the living area, reading a good book and glancing up at the marshes through the huge patio doors. Take sumptuous baths in the bathroom where there’s room to perch a glass of wine beside you before you climb into bed; both king-size rooms are gorgeous, but the impressive loft room that benefits from a window seat overlooking the marshes as well as the balcony with sea views is the one to nab first.

Take a stroll down to Walberswick (1 mile) across the River Blyth via ferry; the beach is quieter than Southwold’s in the summer and there are plenty of cafes and pubs to stop at for a bite. Up in Southwold, everyone will be fascinated by the Under the Pier Show (1 mile) where there are many bizarre arcade machines to try. If you can’t get enough of the sand dunes and heathland, head to the National Trust’s Dunwich Heath (11 miles) which is ideal for a bracing walk. The marshes of RSPB Minsmere (12 miles) make for a great day of birdwatching too.

This property immediately adapts to becoming a home for guests staying - we loved the artwork and being surrounded by our favourite authors. The views and location are excellent and we would certainly revisit as many guests before us have.

The Perch is a lovely property with gorgeous views and feels very relaxing. We have stayed twice in 2 years as it is in such a good position and is very high quality. We love the original art work and the designer space. The Perch is definitely a luxury property and deserves the 5 star rating.

"This was our first visit to Suffolk and we found the house and the location perfect. The house has been beautifully designed, built and maintained to a very high standard. It had everything we needed for our stay. The outlook from the house, both front and rear, were amazing! Southwold has a lot of incredibly beautiful walks through heathland, maRead morershes, beaches and much more. We walked many miles during our stay and enjoyed every aspect of the location. We will definitely return in the future." Hide
