Indulge in a delightful escape to this cosy cottage for four, and enjoy its homely atmosphere, coastal view bedrooms and convenient location in the heart of popular Southwold.

Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by the inviting ambience of the characterful lounge, where an open fire awaits to keep you warm on chilly evenings. Head through to the well-appointed kitchen, where you can prepare delicious meals and engage in lively conversations around the dining table. The ground floor is also home to a convenient bathroom. Climb the cottage-style stairs to discover the two delightful bedrooms. The first features a comfortable double bed and offers breathtaking views of the sparkling sea. The second bedroom boasts twin beds and enchanting vistas of Southwold’s iconic lighthouse. Step outside into the courtyard garden and start your day with a rejuvenating cup of morning coffee at the outdoor table, or savour a sun-downer on a warm summer evening with the lighthouse towering overhead.

In addition to the seaside fun of the beach and historic pier, there’s much to see and do in the area. Nature enthusiasts will be thrilled to explore the enchanting Reydon Wood Nature Reserve (3 miles), spanning 16 hectares of ancient coppiced woodland. For a memorable adventure, hire bicycles and traverse the extensive network of trails that wind through the picturesque villages surrounding Southwold. 12 miles away, the RSPB’s Minsmere Reserve offers captivating woodland walks, idyllic picnic spots, and many family-friendly activities at the Discovery Centre. Venture further afield to the charming seaside town of Aldeburgh (18 miles), renowned for its art galleries, quaint shops, inviting cafes, and picturesque promenade.

Our stay was our 3rd February in a row and we're always reluctant to leave. The bed is new and very comfortable, there is also a new TV in the sitting room, very handy to log into your iPlayer or Netflix (etc) accounts. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment, but we didn't cook as much this time - too many lovely places to eat out in Southwold!Read more We can't wait to return <3 Hide

Seeing the sea whilst sitting in bed with morning cuppa was lovely. The owner was extremely helpful. Rather special to see lighthouse from courtyard garden. The property was quiet and cosy warm. Easy to park outside

The double mattress was very springy and not great for sleeping. The house was very cold upon arrival at 10 pm as all the main windows were wide open and there was a cold wind.

16 St. James Green is a beautiful, warm and friendly family holiday home with views of the sea -which is only 50m away - and views across the open green at the front. The house is thoughtfully equipped and well laid out. We have stayed in Southwold many times and 16 St. james Green is the best ever!
