With wonderful views across Buss Creek, this splendid property is perfect for families or friends looking for a restful holiday on the Suffolk coast. The garden is a real treat, imaginatively designed and with a lovely rustic feel to enjoy on fine days. The delights of Southwold are on your doorstep, with the high street, quirky pier, sandy beach, and boating lake all within 0.5 miles.

A gorgeous two-storey house with stylish and elegant furnishings that make this a superior experience. The owners have created a house with great attention to detail, and the spacious light-filled living space combines kitchen, dining and sitting areas and overlooks a beautifully landscaped garden; it is the perfect space for relaxing and entertaining. The open-plan space on the ground floor includes a sitting area with three sofas to lounge in and chat or watch TV. A wood burner keeps things snug in the cooler months. Folding patio doors open to the south-facing decked area. The contemporary kitchen has everything you need to make meal preparation a breeze and has a refectory-style dining table. There is a twin room with a TV and a wet room downstairs. Head upstairs, and you’ll find three ensuite bedrooms - two king-size and a twin. Access to the garden is through the patio doors or via a garden path from the front of the house, where there is decking with steps up to the garden. An open-sided garden room provides a covered seating area, perfect for enjoying the sunsets.

There are many wonderful attractions to discover along the coast. The Denes Beach is a mile away and ideal for building sandcastles or enjoying swimming, canoeing and windsurfing. Or head up north to Benacre National Nature Reserve (5 miles) and follow the path to pretty Covehithe Beach. For a taster of the Suffolk Broads, spend the day at Carlton and Oulton Marshes (12 miles).

A lovely house with lots of room to spread out. A nice walk into Southwold with a lovely outlook to the front of the house. A really private, enclosed garden. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped with a great sized dining table to accommodate everyone.

An excellent, stylish and comfortable property for a larger family with a great seating area for family evenings together and a well-equipped a kitchen with a large table. Great for the dogs who could pop outside safely in the fenced garden. Very well-placed for walking to the beach the town and to Walberswicke so we hardly used the car.

This property was lovely! It was very comfortable and clean, and it was perfect for the age range of people in our party (17-80). It was especially suitable for one of our party who has very limited mobility which made the week very straightforward from the point of view of accessing all the downstairs rooms and facilities. We had a wonderful week.Read more Thank you, we would definitely return! Hide
