Property code: OC-HOLL

Nestling behind a holly bush, this traditional cottage provides lovely holiday accommodation for families, friends and couples seeking a relaxing getaway within easy reach of the Suffolk coastline. Set on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Reydon, and just across a bridge from the popular seaside town of Southwold, the cottage offers delightful accommodation for up to six guests. Featuring a wood burner, flagstone flooring and an inglenook fireplace, this pretty getaway has been charmingly updated and beautifully decorated, making a fabulous base for discovering the region’s sandy beaches and breathtaking countryside.

The inviting lounge has a wood burner set in an inglenook fireplace, plenty of seating and an array of books, providing a relaxing space to sit back and watch a movie. A step leads up to a handy raised area with a desk. The spacious kitchen/diner features a farmhouse-style dining table and plenty of equipment to help you rustle up all your favourite dishes. The ground floor also has a useful shower room. Steep cottage-style stairs lead up to the first floor. Here you will find a sweet bathroom and three charming bedrooms: two cosy doubles and a cheerful twin. A small conservatory-style porch leads into the enclosed courtyard garden with outdoor furniture, making a relaxing spot for dining alfresco or sitting out with a morning coffee or glass of wine.

The cottage lies at the south-eastern end of Reydon, a friendly village with a choice of shops and great places to eat and drink. A 500-metre stroll over Buss Creek will take you to the outskirts of Southwold. This bustling seaside town is home to a range of pubs, galleries and restaurants, as well as a golf club, vintage cinema, lighthouse, beach and pier as well as the Southwold Maize Maze and Southwold Model Boat Pond.

Biggest problem was the cleanliness of the place; the floors, work tops, bath and sinks all needed a clean on arrival. The lounge looked as if it had not been vacuumed in the corners, under the television etc, for a long time. There is a damp patch in the corner of the twin-bedded room on the outside wall. The window frame in the back bedroom wasRead more dirty and mouldy (needs replacing.) The mattress topper was stained when I stripped the bed at the end of our stay. Otherwise, good heating and hot water and kitchen well equipped for family cooking.Location is great for accessing the beach and town. The cottage gave the impression it was a cottage for 6 but it was certainly difficult to seat 6 of us round the table in the kitchen-and we had 2 children with us! Welcome pack was appreciated, thank you. Hide
