This pretty fisherman’s cottage, sleeping six guests, is perfectly placed for families or groups of friends to explore the beautiful Suffolk coast. Southwold is the ideal place for an enjoyable stroll, with attractions on the doorstep, including the famous working lighthouse, delightful pier and family-friendly sandy beach, with its promenade. Or see the sights from the resident horse and carriage tours of the town, drawn by two splendid Shires. Food shopping is a pleasure here, with a good range of independent shops offering local produce and fresh-caught fish from seafood stalls in the market. Visit award-winning Southwold Museum, packed with fascinating objects, and enjoy the eccentric interactive machines in the Under the Pier Show, housed on the main pier. A Children’s Boating Lake, a Putting Green, and lovely coastal walks or bike rides are all within easy reach. From the harbour, take the ferry across the River Blyth to the picture-postcard village of Walberswick.

This charming room has comfortable sofas and chairs from where you can watch the Smart TV or DVD player in front of the wood burner housed in a brick fireplace. The sitting room opens into a separate dining room with a country-style wooden table and chairs for six.

A great location, walkable to everything, and a well equipped house, with rare outside space in Southwold. Often in Southwold a 3 bed will have one tiny room, but all three bedrooms here are doubles. We will definitely rent again.
