Property code: OC-AATHCA

Step out from this gorgeous, New England-style, Southwold cottage and wander over to the sandy beach opposite on warm summer days. The delightful retreat sleeps four guests and enjoys a tranquil position with sea views from upstairs. It is just 500 metres from the centre of town, with its plethora of shops and eateries, and 0.5 miles from the harbour, where families enjoy crabbing and foodies like to buy freshly landed seafood. This delightful abode, which welcomes pets, also benefits from an attractive, lawned garden where you can bask in the sunshine and watch your four-legged friends play.

Take a few steps up and let yourselves in to find a colourful lounge, where you can watch TV, play games and generally relax after your days on the beach or out walking. Head through to the kitchen to whip up light lunches and hearty dinners for your party. Carry the plates through to the sun room to dine at the table and look out over the marshes and dunes towards Walberswick and the harbour. A washing machine can be found in an outhouse. At the end of each fun-filled day, climb the stairs to a twin bedroom and a double, with TV. Both bedrooms have far-reaching views. The family bathroom is also up here. Dine out in the sunny garden as often as possible and sit out here as the sun goes down in the evening. There is off-road parking here for one car.

Amble down to the harbour to take the rowing boat ferry over to the village of Walberswick. Plan day trips out to places such as Covehithe, 5.5 miles away, with its beautiful beach and unusual ruined church with a smaller church inside. Dunwich, 9 miles away, is another picturesque place to visit along the Suffolk Heritage Coast.

Really cosy - especially the lounge and a stunning location. Bedroom furniture felt like it was from a different house - cool and contemporary downstairs but traditional upstairs. Overall though great property - thanks.

The Cabin really is a delightful place to stay. Beautifully furnished, with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Situated on Ferry road, a 10 minute walk from the Town centre, the Cabin really is a retreat with a great view out to sea from the main bedroom and easy access to the dunes just over the road.

Location is perfect - right by the beach and a short stroll in to the centre of Southwold. The Cabin is well equipped and the "welcome" goodies were a nice surprise.

Loved our February stay in The Cabin. Really beautiful, comfortable and stylish house in a perfect location. Appreciated having a parking space and being able to bring our dog. Loved being next to the beach and it was easy to walk into the town or to the harbour.

The Cabin has so much to offer! It is next to the beach, nearby Southwold town, and Walberswick is accessible by a walk around the harbour or a short trip on the ferry. The property is beautifully decorated, comfortable and well equipped. The views from all the windows are a real treat, the sand dunes, the marshes, the harbour area and Southwold. TRead morehe sunshine motif downstairs is also a lovely touch. Hide
