Property code: OC-ARV

This coastal haven is perfect for groups of friends and families to come and enjoy a getaway in the beautiful Suffolk seaside town of Southwold. With three bedrooms, it can sleep up to six people which is ideal for larger groups. The downstairs bedroom offers an extra sense of convenience as you can access the cottage from either the first or the ground floor.

Cross the footbridge at the first-floor level to enter the welcoming property. You'll be met with two bright bedrooms on this floor - one double and one twin - as well as a family bathroom. Journey downstairs to find an inviting king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room and separate WC. Feel free to sprawl out in the open-plan lounge/dining room, with soft seating and a dining table, ideal for entertaining. Whip up delicious homemade meals in the generous kitchen, and let in some fresh air via the patio doors. For relaxing moments, head out into the garden beneath the sunshine, with a lawn for games and a summerhouse – perfect for an evening sundowner or some al fresco dining while the kids play on the grass.

The location of this home is unbeatable, situated 150 metres from Southwold’s lovely sandy beach, and pier whose attractions include shops, eateries and the ever-popular under-the-pier show. Take a peaceful stroll of a half mile into town to explore the many independent shops, boutiques and eateries or if you’re feeling adventurous, journey a little further and take a rowing boat ferry over the estuary to Walberswick – and don’t forget your buckets and lines on the way to the quay which is just over a mile away.

We were very comfortable in this interesting 70s house with decor and furniture to match. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern, excellent showers. The location is very good being so near the pier and the front. Really enjoyed our week here with family and friends.

The property was as described. Although the weather was lovely we didn't want to sit around lawned area because shrubs were overgrown. We thought it would have been nice to have seating on decking outside upstairs area. Few negatives were thin, rough towels, not fluffy at all. Bedding didn't smell fresh & hole in seam of one quilt cover. Several hoRead moreurs after using hob the bottom left gas hob made igniting noises even though the hob wasn't in use, this happened a few times. Dust and cobwebs under both settees. Well equipped and spacious property but unfortunately some negatives. Hide

We had a very enjoyable stay and the house and location were both very good. However we could not score it higher due to a few minor irritations which I am sure you would want to know about. Firstly the doorbell was not working. Also it had not had a thorough clean prior to our arrival. There were cobwebs in the house under furniture and in the upsRead moretairs bedrooms. Also the outside table, chairs and decking had not been cleaned which we had to do ourselves. The last point is regarding departure as were were asked to leave by 9am and also bag up the bed linen and towels. We guess that this was due to covid which seems a little demanding now given the reduced threat of the virus and the cost of the rental. However to confirm that the house was very well equipped and in a fantastic location and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hide
