Unwind in this stylish coastal home which is perfect for a small family or group of friends plus one canine companion who want the buzz of a traditional seaside town but also enjoy lazy beach days and want to be within easy reach of nature reserves. The interiors of this property are bright and elegant with characterful period features like wooden flooring, large bay windows and feature fireplaces.

Step inside and discover the laid-back and comfortable lounge with soft sofas, contemporary touches and a Victorian feature fireplace. Continue into the spacious kitchen/diner with coastal chic decor, wooden furnishings, modern appliances plus a table with seating for six. Completing the ground floor is a wetroom bathroom. Climb the stairs to reach the first floor with a family bathroom boasting a rolltop bath plus two bedrooms – a king-size and a twin. The second floor has a double room with an en-suite.

While staying in the heart of the Suffolk seaside town of Southold you’ll be surrounded by cosy cafes, seafood restaurants and historic landmarks – such as the lighthouse, cannons and pier (within 0.5 miles).

Rowan Villa has a great location just near the lighthouse with comfortable furnishings. Travel cot and high chair were good for our toddler. We enjoyed our stay and really appreciated the off street parking available at the property.

Five of us have just enjoyed an Easter break at Rowan Villa. Our first visit to Southwold. Comfortable accommodation and in a perfect position. The house has some lovely touches, just as seen in the photos. Parking is essential and here you can accommodate one car on site, with a second parked roadside. We would definitely book again.

Nicely presented home. Loved the main bedroom, comfortable beds. We had to descale the showers. Garden furniture and the garden could be more inviting with higher standard of furniture and a larger patio. 6 of us could not sit outside comfortably.

We have returned to Rowan Villa a number of times. It is perfectly located in Southwold and has the benefit of a parking space. The Villa is really comfortable and has everything a family needs for an enjoyable holiday. Southwold itself is beautiful with a wonderful sandy beach and a whole range of shops and eateries.

The property is as described. Comfortable and well maintained family accommodation, perfecttly situated for beach and town. We liked the excellent information- eg how the oven works etc as well as places to viisit/ eat. Expensive but predictable given this was half term and Southwold such an ideal family place. Good to have private parking.
