Have a cosy and comfortable stay when you book this tempting, red brick cottage in Southwold. Overlooking leafy Bartholomew Green, and within 150 metres of the coastal town’s thriving centre, with its many food outlets, boutiques and galleries, the enticing, two-bedroom retreat comes with a courtyard for summer relaxation and two wood burners for toasting beside in the winter. Sleeping four guests, it also welcomes a canine companion.
Let yourselves in after each excursion and settle on the soft seating in the lounge to gather your thoughts. Light the wood burner on chilly days, watch TV or choose DVD for everyone to enjoy. Spread out into the lounge/kitchen/diner next door if you choose. Here you can fire up the second wood burner, unwind on the sofa or gather round the table for a lively board game or a meal together. The kitchen space is equipped with everything you might need to help you cater for your party with your own Southwold-bought ingredients. Also downstairs is a family shower room. Make your way upstairs to find a twin bedroom with single sofa bed and views over the green towards the church. There is also a double bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom. Open a bottle of fizz on summer evenings and enjoy the balmy air out in the courtyard. Parking for this property is on the street, subject to availability.
Grab your beach gear and wander about 300 metres down to the seafront and family-friendly beach, where you can swim and play on the sand. The pier, with its attractions, including unique machines that form an under-the-pier show, is a 0.5-mile walk. The boating lake is also at this end of the Suffolk town. Enjoy a 1-mile walk down to the harbour to cross over to Walberswick on the rowing boat ferry.
