Property code: OC-HHOLEY

This spacious five-bedroom Southwold cottage makes a wonderful base for groups of ten and their canine companion. Catch up with loved ones, build sandcastles on the shores of Southwold or grab fish and chips and stroll along the pier for a relaxing getaway on the Suffolk coast.

Open the front door of this gorgeous pastel-coloured cottage and be delighted by the bright decor and homely touches. The lounge mixes stylish, comfortable furnishings and classic atmospheric features – a social space to chatter into the night. Enjoy a drink in front of the impressive stone fireplace before heading into the large kitchen to whip up a bountiful meal for the whole party. Throw open the French doors and carry your dinner to the enclosed garden. Here you will find a large table and chairs, which provide a fabulous spot for glasses of Pimms and buffet-style dinners. Alternatively, gather the troops for a film on the TV. On the ground floor, a double bedroom with an ensuite provides ample privacy, while on the upper two floors, four more bedrooms offer various sleeping arrangements (the twin room on the second floor is accessed via steep, open-tread stairs). Outside, you can enjoy your morning cup of tea on the patio with the backdrop of birdsong and pretty flowers.

Based just moments from the beach, and should you choose to dine out, this gorgeous cottage is within easy reach of restaurants and pubs, while the colourful promenade of Southwold provides dessert in the form of ice cream and cream tea.

A great cottage in an excellent location. There was only one car space but the other two spaces we needed were easily found within 5 mins walk, with no parking restrictions. All 10 of us really enjoyed the holiday.

Perfect location, loved the annex, ideal for our extended family. Parking could have been an issue but we could find space for the second car on the common car park at no cost.

This cottage is in a fantastic location for everything Southwold. Parking for one car at the rear of the property (no black gate, as mentioned in the directions) very warm with extra electric heaters supplied. A bit of a Tardis on the inside so very spacious. Stairs to attic room are very narrow and steep which is worth noting. Excellent shower anRead mored hot water system. Bath on mid floor and second shower to service those rooms. Plenty of hanging space Hide

Property in a great location with parking (for one car only). The downstairs extension was great but the rest of the property is ready for refurbishment.

Overall very good indeed and had a lovely time. Two things to mention. The central heating has a fault (F9) and goes off 3 or 4 times a day so you have to keep resetting it which can be a pain. Secondly the arrival instructions refer to a black gate but there isnt a black gate! Overall though Id score our stay a 9/10.

3 branches of our family celebrated a 70th & 40th birthday at your cottage, 6 adults & 3 children, aged from 5 to 75.. The layout worked well for us overall & there was room to adapt to our family group needs. We had amazing weather for our weekend & made full use of the local amenities. Southwold had even laid on an arts festival with a parade whiRead morech we hadn't known about. Thank you! Only small problem was with keys- the 2 sets of keys were not a matching set & caused some confusion as we didn't always go out mob handed. Maybe each set could include both front door & kitchen door (to garden & back entrance) access & those extra doors in annex could be kept separately in the cottage on a clearly marked hook? Hide
