Enjoying a fabulous hillside position along the southern fringe of Southwold, this stunningly updated cottage has been stylishly furnished and tastefully decorated, making a wonderful holiday retreat for larger families and groups of friends. Set at the foot of Skillman’s Hill, the property is ideally situated close to the more secluded end of the town’s beautiful sandy beach. Offering elegant accommodation for up to eight guests, this spacious retreat is a fantastic base for walkers, nature spotters and beach fans seeking an idyllic getaway in a glorious part of Suffolk.

The cottage features a relaxing and spacious double-size lounge with central folding doors allowing you to divide the room into separate areas so everyone can relax in comfort. The ground floor also features a large open-plan kitchen/diner making a great space for cooking and enjoying a family feast. Heading upstairs you will find a cheerful bathroom and four beautiful bedrooms: one super-king-size, one twin room with a TV, a king-size room and a children’s room with bunk beds and a TV. There are also two invigorating shower rooms, one on each floor. Stepping outside, the charming courtyard garden has a handy picnic table and bench seating providing a lovely spot for dining alfresco on a sunny summer’s day.

Within easy reach of the River Blyth, the cottage is just 500 metres from the beach and the site of the historic Southwold Cannons.

Great week with the family in this lovely cottage. Location was perfect. Only a short walk to the beach and high street. Accommodation was very comfortable and spacious with everything we needed. Couldve had a towel change midweek or access to a tumble dryer.

We found Hillside to be a very comfortable cottage with a high standard of furniture and equipment and a well thought out interior. It was ideally located for both the high street and the beach. One of the nicest places we have had the pleasure of staying in Southwold.

A really lovely, well-kitted out and high end house in a great position for the town and the much nicer (in our opinion) and quieter end of the beach with the sand dunes. The house was very private and quiet which made for a lovely, relaxing family holiday.
