Property code: OC-4EAST

On the sandy shore of Southwold Beach, this seaside cottage is the perfect spot in Suffolk to relax, explore and discover incredible coastline, countryside and culture. This stunning property sleeps four people across two delightful bedrooms and is the perfect retreat for families looking for a traditional seaside break.

Make yourself at home amongst whitewashed walls, coastal tones and delightful decor. The hub of the house is the spacious living/dining room, where a toasty wood burner promises to heat frosty toes, while on balmy evenings, a wall-to-wall window presents front-row seats to the crystal clear waves. If you can tear your eyes away from the jaw-dropping views, the TV provides hours of entertainment, which you can enjoy with the snacks made in your galley kitchen. Post-dinner, spend hours sipping drinks in your shared courtyard before making your way to bed. Freshen up in a steaming bubble bath and slip into a slumber in the double or twin bedroom. All located on one floor, this sociable property provides a delightful stay for those looking to spend quality time together.

Make full use of those buckets and spades with mornings spent on the beach. Water babies will adore the location to early morning dips in the sea, while those wanting to top up their tan can do so at the drop of a hat. Treat yourselves to bacon butties and pots of tea on Southwold's restored pier before moseying around the museum and the numerous shops and galleries. On energy-fuelled days out, pull on your walking boots and join the unspoiled landscape of Southwold's circular route, passing Walberswick and some handy pubs for liquid refreshment.

The location was great but disappointed to find that kitchen lacked some basic equipment, eg. No measuring jug, basins or whisk. No empty cupboards in which to place our own food etc.

Original Cottages were excellent with the booking process; website and booking the holiday really easy and great communication throughout. The location of the flat is fabulous with lovely sea views and very near to the town centre shops and restaurants. However for us there were a few issues with the flat. The beds and the sofas were very low for uRead mores as an older couple - my wife could not sit on the sofas as she could not get back up. We felt that the flat had some cleanliness issues eg; very stained mattress protector on the double bed and the carpet in the living room is quite grubby. We found the pillows on all the beds to be lifeless/flat. In fairness though all of the bed linen and towels were very clean and fresh. Maintenance wise, the swan neck tap in the kitchen is not fixed properly to the sink and moves around when turning on and off. So for us as very seasoned self catering/older holidaymakers, although we loved Southwold and the location of the flat - we would not choose to stay in this flat again. Hide

We found a few essential items such as a bread board, a average size frying pan etc. We also found the TV difficult, a message was on screen regularly saying the TV needs re programming or simply going off. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Generally happy with the property, it took us a while to work out where the immersion was and that we needed to turn it on to get hot water. The duvet in the double bedroom needs to be bigger and extra blankets would have been appreciated, we used our coats in the end. One of our party fell down the outside steps at the front of the property, injurRead moreing herself, we feel there should be hazard tape on the edge of the steps as they're both tiled and the edge is difficult to see. Baking sheets in the kitchen are very well used and probably need replacing. We were expecting a 'Welcome Pack' but there was only a pint of milk provided. Despite these points we enjoyed the property in its unique location. Thanks Hide

The situation was amazing and in general everything was great! The beds were a disappointment.. I would describe as cheap hard and low. And the bathroom had definitely seem better days! A refurbishment is definitely needed and I would suggest a walk in shower would be appropriate for the property!
