Property code: OC-TSALT

Arguably in one of the most desirable positions in Southwold, this exquisite property is ideally situated between the golden dunes of Gun Hill Beach and Southwold's stunning marshes. Wake up to incredible sunrises over the shore, pub lunches on the pier, and unforgettable memories made with eight loved ones.

This exclusive oasis benefits from sleek, minimalist styling, bespoke designs and a raised terrace offering you far and wide views of the local greenery. The spectacular open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner will quickly become the heart of your home-from-home. Everyone can muck in, making delicious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners in the spacious kitchen before breaking bread around the table. Take a chilled bottle of wine from the fridge and pour yourself a glass to enjoy on the terrace or in the enclosed garden. Continue the party with music from the Bluetooth speaker down in the games room or compete for the reigning champion on the PlayStation or pool table. Lap up the views once more before heading to one of the four elegantly decorated rooms; a king-size room with marshland views, a king-size room with an en-suite, a super-king-size zip-and-link with an en suite and a ground-floor double room with neighbouring shower room. In the morning, dine in the salty sea air with the daily papers and freshly brewed coffee from the Nespresso machine.

Step out and discover Gun Hill Beach with just a short stroll to the front (100 metres). Indulge in classic seaside ice creams or pick up breakfast on the go. A trip to Suffolk wouldn't be complete without visiting the traditional seaside resort of Southwold. This eclectic town is a mere 200 metres from the property and provides local bakeries, independent shops, restaurants, beach days and stunning walking routes.

This house worked very well for our party of seven adults. All four of the bedrooms were good and the beds were very comfortable . The bed linen and towels were of good quality and there were plenty of coathangers which is not always the case. Location wise it was perfect being so close to the town. We didnt have to use the cars once we had parked Read moreon arrival as there was plenty to do for three days. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk and ferry to Walberswick. Hide

We had a really enjoyable stay. Loved the spacious living area which opens up to the sun terrace. Light and airy throughout; beautifully and thoughtfully furnished. We slept very well as very quiet. Views of open countryside from the back rooms ( first floor bedrooms) were delightful, especially as the sun rose in the mornings; the terrace is a gRead morereat sun trap in the afternoons. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans etc if eating in. Location superb-beach steps away, delightful town with shops, public houses and eateries extremely accessible as was the walk and ferry to Walberswick. So much to see and do nearby that it was easy to lock the car ( we managed parking for three cars on the front drive, by the way) and put the keys away and relax. Would thoroughly recommend. Hide

WOW!! What a stunning accommodation, Did Carlsberg Build this? We have watched this site being built and this year we had the pleasure of booking it to celebrate my 60th Bday. The perfect spot to base a week in Southwold for 4 couples. The Open-plan communal room was the focus for us with well spec'd bedrooms & Bathrooms. The weather playRead moreed ball so the use of the patio to watch the sunsets enjoyed. The location is only minutes from the beach and 5 [10 for me as I am now 60] mons from the town. Great for a large family or just a group of friends to enjoy a fad town [But don't tell anyone!] Hide

This house is very tasteful and a perfect design for a family wanting to spend time together with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The location is perfect right near the beach and easy walking distance from the town. The games room was also enjoyed and a quiet room to watch tv.

An excellent property with a wealth of facilities and comfort. We stayed for a winter break and, even though the weather was cold, we were warm with good background heating. The location is close to the beach for bracing walks (in the winter!) and there is good parking for 2 cars.
