Overview
Property code: OC-19NR

Located less than half a mile from Southwold Beach, the promenade and the quirky pier, this stylish cottage is ideal for families or friends looking for a restful holiday in a traditional seaside town. With The Denes Beach and Walberswick Beach (via the summer pedestrian ferry) both less than 1.5 miles away, it's easy to see why this is a popular destination for bucket and spade and water sports enthusiasts. Add to that the colourful beach huts and the region's culinary delights, and you have all the ingredients for a great holiday.

A spacious and relaxing two-storey property styled with comfort and convenience in mind. This lovely coastal bolthole has calming tones throughout, and the ground floor is light and airy and features a wonderful kitchen/ dining area with contemporary appliances. The sitting room can be opened to or closed off from the kitchen/diner and boasts comfortable leather sofas to cosy up on and chat, or there is a Smart TV to watch your favourite films. There is a shower room on the ground floor. Upstairs you'll find a family bathroom and three bedrooms: one king-size, one double and one twin. French doors from the kitchen/diner give access to the spacious private rear garden where the children can play. With a generous patio area and a lawned area with garden furniture, there are lovely spots to enjoy dining alfresco on fine days.

If you can tear yourself away from the beach, Minsmere RSPB (11 miles) or Benacre National Nature Reserve (5 miles) are a haven for bird and wildlife enthusiasts. Alternatively, visit the beautiful market town of Beccles (13.5 miles), the gateway to the Southern Broads. Explore the town and then take a boat trip, or hire a boat, to discover more of the River Waveney.

A lovely and very well equipped house, especially the kitchen, with large open plan downstairs area. Will certainly stay again. Thank you.

This is a perfect property in a great location. It's beautifully decorated to a high standard and is everything you want from a holiday cottage by the sea.

This is a lovely, comfortable property in an excellent location. This is the third time we have stayed and I am sure we will return. There are a couple of things which would make the property absolutely superb. Firstly, for such a huge kitchen, there are not enough cooking utensils. Scales for weighing, mixing bowls, wooden spoons are just some of Read morethe items we ended up buying from the local hardware store. Secondly, there is not enough crockery which means you end up putting the dishwasher on more regularly than should be the case. These items do not detract from the property, but it would be better with them. Hide

This is a well presented, comfortable and warm property in a convenient location near to the pier and beach and a short walk to the shops, cafes and pubs that make Southwold such a fantastic place. The on street parking on this quiet, narrow residential street can be difficult as it appears to be one of the few roads where a majority of homes are rRead moreegularly occupied. The first impressions of the house are a little disappointing as the front door has flaking paint and the rendered elevation is showing its age. The interior of the property is of a very good standard, furnishings are new, and appealing. The very attractive kitchen is generally well stocked but a lidded vessel suitable for microwave cooking would be useful. There is plenty of empty cupboard space in the kitchen to store food etc. More than one tea towel would have been welcome, along with a kitchen hand towel and a pair of oven gloves. There was only 2 dishwasher tables for a 7 day stay which from previous holiday lets is unusual and maybe this explained the gritty, marked crockery and cutlery we then had to hand wash before use. A welcome bag included a lovely bottle of bubbles but no fresh produce, milk was long life. Given there was lots of mail for the owner ( their names clearly stated maybe a security issue) at the front door on arrival I wonder when the property was last visited. The ground floor utility/ shower room is small but it maintained a fishy smell through out the stay only slightly reduced when the washing machine and tumble dryer was used once. There were no washing tables. A hanging rack for drying clothes would be a good idea and surely reduce the use of the tumble dryer.The south facing garden is very pleasant and Im sure in summer months the garden table chairs and bench along with the gas barbecue will be a superb asset. The 3 bedrooms are small, only the twin has room for a dressing table and chair and the very small second double requires some agility given the bed is against 3 walls. The master bedroom is very light and bright with a small wardrobe. The main bathroom with shower over bath is well presented although there was soap scum on the chrome taps and shower screen. As instructed we put out the bins for emptying but the green bin, which is full of garden waste, was not emptied. Maybe the August 2022 means this service is out of date This property has all the potential to be perfect just let down by very small issues that whilst they didnt spoil our stay at the house if addressed could make the experience outstanding Hide
