Watch the sun go down on Southwold from the first-floor balcony of this modern coastal cottage. Complete with clean interiors, exposed brickwork and exceptionally comfortable furnishings, this holiday home provides an exceptional bolthole for three guests to explore Suffolk’s heritage coastline. With two bedrooms, one being a bijou single that’s ideal for a child. There is a trundle bed under the single bed which can be used as a 4th bed for a child. The property is a great choice for any couple on a romantic retreat or a small family looking for a seaside escape.

Stop off in the hallway to hang up any outerwear before making yourselves comfortable in the open-plan living area. With stone-flagged flooring, contemporary furnishings and high ceilings, this unique space is stylish and comfortable. Curl up on the sofa or armchair after a hearty dinner prepared in the kitchen and enjoyed at the sociable circular dining table. The ground floor is home to the first bedroom, a snug little single, and a modern family bathroom. You’ll only need to ascend one flight of stairs to reach the master bedroom. This delightful king-size room features bi-fold doors that let light flood in and allow direct access to the terrace with a glass balustrade.

This was our second stay at The Old Smokehouse (we obviously liked it the first time). Lovely accommodation. Excellent location. Great to have an allocated car parking space.

Perfectly situated and beautifully appointed close to town and beaches and of course off road private parking Very quiet location devoid of noise Too many good pubs to mention but The Sole Inn is a short stroll and Sutherland House is an excellent adults only restaurant ( no dogs or children !! ) Very chic simple clean decor and everything Read moreone needs to enjoy the simple pleasures of Southwold and its surroundings Highly recommended.

A clean and well presented holiday cottage, close to the beach & shops. But thats it !! What the other reviews dont tell you is that if the prevailing wind is from the land all you can smell from 11am to 10pm 7 days a week is the award winning fish & chip beef dripping, this from the vent stack thats 20meters away. If you have a big car you will beRead more struggling to park in the provided space. Kipper Cottage is next door, its an Airbnb so expect regular change over & all the noise that creates. The Swan Hotel car park is at the back of the accommodation so expect noise from that 24/7 constant car door banging , people shouting and arguing.Booked a week stayed 3 days. Hide

Perfect little escape. Beautifully renovated. Lovely comfortable beds. Light and airy and so quiet even though so close to the Main Street. Only a five minute walk to the sea and the shops too. Would definitely recommend.

Delighted with the accommodation, great for High Street and amenities and very short w@lk to beach. Welcome package was much appreciated. Dedicated parking spot a bonus in such a busy little town.

A very clean and comfortable holiday home, two minutes walk to the beach and next door to a very good fish and chip shop. Big advantage for Southwold of private parking right outside the door. Lots of good walks to the harbour and across the river to Walberswick. I have already booked two weeks for next year.
