Tucked away on a quiet lane in the heart of Southwold, just a stone’s throw from some fabulous independent shops and restaurants, this charming and stylish reverse-level cottage is the perfect base for friends and families to explore the quaint villages, gloriously sandy beaches and scenic walking trails this part of Suffolk is famous for.
After a long day exploring, you have one light-filled bedroom with a set of French doors to the garden and another beautifully presented bedroom on the ground floor to retire to for a well-deserved rest before tomorrow’s adventure. If you’re not quite ready for bed, head upstairs to the endlessly social open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which beckons you to get creative with all the delicious local produce you’ve collected in the contemporary kitchen, dine long into the evening around the dining table and hunker down on the comfy sofa for the ultimate family film night around the TV. Soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine in the enclosed walled courtyard, alive with mature borders and well-established plants; there’s also a fabulous balcony accessed from the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to enjoy.
It’s easy to see why the charming seaside village of Southwold on the Suffolk Heritage Coast is so irresistible, offering the sights of a working lighthouse, brightly coloured beach huts lining a quintessentially seaside promenade (0.5 miles), an award-winning pier less than a mile away, bustling harbour (1.5 miles) and a wonderful beach less than half a mile away. While away a fine summer’s day relax on Southwold Beach before exploring the eclectic Victorian pier to admire breathtaking sea views and an excellent selection of independent restaurants and cafes. From Southwold Harbour, indulge in a peaceful river cruise along the banks of the River Blyth followed by a coastal voyage around Sole Bay.
