Property code: OC-23STR

Located in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty a stone’s throw from a wonderful quintessentially seaside sandy stretch, this stylish home-from-home is the ultimate coastal retreat perfect for families looking to uncover Southwold’s enchanting coastline.

After a long day exploring your seaside surroundings, fire up the roaring wood burner in the light and bright lounge/diner to soothe weary walking muscles by hunkering down on the comfy sofas in front of the Smart TV before enjoying a family games night seated around the generous dining table. When hungry tummies rumble, head into the endlessly social open-plan kitchen/diner to whip up a locally sourced feast with the delicious local produce you’ve collected to feed the crowd seated around the farmhouse-style dining table. As day turns to dusk, you have four bedrooms across the first and second floors to retire to, which all feature charming wooden floors and soothing colour palettes of neutral tones that’ll send you into a peaceful doze. Soak up distant sounds of the nearby sea rolling in by dining alfresco long into the evening in the quaint enclosed courtyard.

The jewel in Suffolk’s crown, the charming village of Southwold is steeped in maritime history with everything you’d expect to find in a quintessentially seaside village; a Blue Flag awarded beach lined with colourful beach huts half a mile away, a promenade and a bustling harbour 1.5 miles away. Located in the Suffolk Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the surrounding scenery offers a network of scenic walking trails along the Suffolk Coast Path, an abundance of wildlife to discover at Benacre National Nature Reserve 5.5 miles away, a fantastic cycling pathway at Dunwich 9 miles away and a host of charming towns to explore, including the historic town of Orford 24.5 miles away.

This property was perfect for our family trip away. It comfortably accommodated the 3 generations we had staying. The grandchildren loved their room and the games compendium kept them busy competing over games of draughts. The property is a stones throw away from the arcades, beach and town. We stayed beginning of September and some of our paRead morerty even went swimming in the sea. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to feed everyone and it was extremely useful to have 4 separate toilets. If we go as a family group again, we would definitely rent this house again! Hide

Really enjoyed staying here, very well equipped amd clean and a nice little welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, crisps, biscuits, fudge, jam etc. Beds were comfy and had everything we needed. If you want to use the coffee machine it is a Lavazza which takes a modo mio pods which you would need to buy in advance as I couldn't find any to buy in SouthRead morewold but there is a cafetiere to use. We would definitely stay here again, thanks for having us. Parking is on street but we could always find a space. Hide

A lovely, spacious house that was perfect for a three generation group, including a toddler (we brought our own travel cot and high chair). Great location; convenient for everything in the town.
