Overview
Property code: OC-DFT

An elegant coastal apartment set along a peaceful lane in the vibrant seaside town of Southwold. This sophisticated hideaway is the perfect escape for couples or solo travellers seeking a stylish ocean retreat. Bask in the afternoon sunshine from your secluded balcony then scope out the bustling local pub (200 metres) serving up unbeatably fresh seafood and locally brewed tipples.

Set on the first floor, this contemporary property features a breezy beach interior with crisp neutral tones, clean lines, and coastal blue furnishings. Slip off sandy shoes at the door then pad into the airy open-plan living space. Pop a chilled bottle of fizz and graze through a snack board perched at the glossy breakfast bar. Keen cooks will delight in whipping up an indulgent evening spread in the sleek shaker kitchen. Feast in the light-dappled dining space then retire to the lounge and sink onto the plush sofas with a brew. Indulge in a relaxing rinse in the tiled shower room before slipping into the sheets of the tranquil double/twin room. Breathe in the salty ocean air from the balcony or toast with a sundowner on balmy summer evenings.

Brave an invigorating morning dip in the calm waters of Southold Beach (600 metres) or grab a frothy coffee and amble along the promenade backed by charming beach huts. Delve into the rich local history as you ascend the stone steps of the Southwold Lighthouse (200 metres) or sip an al fresco drink as you witness a sunset from the iconic Southwold Pier (600 metres).

Osprey is in a great location, very quiet and peaceful. Although there is no parking, we found street parking close by.

Fantastic flat right in the centre of Southwold - so quiet with plenty of light and space. This will definately be our 'go to' cottage going forwards whenever we visit the area.

I have a few things to say, because 1. I have been staying with you guys for years, 2. would like to continue. Okay, so we are offered luxury but this time it felt like very good glamping, what I mean by that, is when Tibby's way was new, of course it was spangly and lovely, but it has not been kept up to scratch. So please take these on board witRead moreh the best intention. However some of it is home owner, but quite a bit would be housekeeping i imagine, which means standards have dropped since changing company's, mergers and so on. This will put me off. Bathroom - shower head could do with a replacement, Suffolk is hard water, and i had to clean the head. Hand soap ran out. Only two loo rolls. Towels were smelly when i got it went after a shower. This happened with both, so i had to go and buy a new one, especially as i was there for two weeks. Kitchen - mugs, one fell out of the cupboard and smashed -apologies, but again, i went out an brought two, as they were small mugs and not many. The crockery, was a little sparse. Nothing seemed very clean. The dishwasher was a mess. There were not dishwasher tabs. i went and brought some, and after a couple of rounds the dishwasher became more sparkly again. I had to put the cutlery and crockery through the washer. I really appreciated the red wine. Thank you. But in days gone by we used to get coffee, tea bags or little goodies and a hessian bag. I know there is a cost of living crisis, but this is a holiday/break for us, and not all of us have a mass of wealth behind us, so every little additional thing makes for a super break. I had to put the clock right - not a problem, but it's the little things as i say. So mainly it was bathroom and kitchen bits. I do hope you take on board this with the good will intended. As i say, i do like using Southwold as a destination, but equally want to be wowed like we used to be. Many thanks Hide

I have stayed at Osprey before and like it a great deal. In a great position and generally well appointed and comfortable. Good facilities but in some details is starting to become a little tired. A light fitting which needs putting back. Some glasses suffering from dishwasher wear and two cups with stains which wont come out however hard you scrubRead more. Two broken blinds add to the tired feeling., as does the dripping tap. Not major things but not a cheap rental and Suffolk Secrets properties are usually spot on. Hide
