Settle into this tranquil coastal-themed, three-storey cottage with sea views, a balcony and a sheltered shared courtyard with a BBQ ready to be fired up. Whisk away five of your loved ones to the traditional seaside town of Southwold for a relaxing break filled with beach days, seafood dinners and nature walks.

The main living space is on the first floor, where you’ll plush sofas in a bright and airy lounge in front of a SmartTV, feature fireplaces and tall sash windows. Behind this seating area is a dining table with seating for six, where you can share a takeaway or home-cooked meal.

The property is very well situated for both the beach and the town. The property was clean and the beds very comfortable. We had a great time, the gift bag with treats on arrival was a lovely touch.

Fab holiday rental for 3 couples as bedrooms are all very private and good size. Kitchen stocked with good quality glasses etc. May not be advisable for a family as to gain access to garden you have to go through downstairs bedroom, lots of small stairs too! Would use again!

Well equipped and comfortable cottage in a great location. Southwold is a delightful town with plenty of shops and restaurants, as well as its glorious beach.

The standard of the property - Brightseas - was excellent. The owners went over and above to make us feel welcome to their property. We were disappointed with the last property we had stayed in - the first real disappointment in the many years that we have been coming to Southwold - and were slightly nervous that we would be met with similar issuRead morees but this was absolutely not the case - the property was more than we had hoped for.. We are all still smiling about our stay! Hide
