A delightful, two-storey cottage in the popular seaside town of Southwold, this property for six is ideal for a family who want to spend some relaxing time together exploring the Suffolk coast. The harbour is a stroll away, where you can take the summer pedestrian ferry to the village of Walberswick with its picturesque beach. Denes Beach is also just a mile away. Southwold has many independent shops and you can discover some great restaurants serving fresh seafood. Alternatively, you can visit Covehithe Beach and Benacre National Nature Reserve (6 miles), while Lowestoft South Beach is just 14 miles away and the National Trust's Dunwich Heath is 12.5 miles away. There are plenty of opportunities to walk along the beautiful Suffolk Coast Path, and nearby golfing and cycling opportunities are also available.

This welcoming property is bright, spacious and elegantly styled. From the entrance hall, complete with storage space, you enter the large living area with tiled floors and rugs and ample sofas and armchairs where you can relax and watch TV. There is a wood burner for the cooler evenings and a large bay window overlooking the river. A step leads up to the fully equipped kitchen and dining area where the windows overlook the garden and you can see out over the water meadows towards Southwold. On the ground floor is also a cloakroom and a lobby with a door to the back garden. From the hallway, stairs lead up to the first floor where there is a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and a room with bunk beds - all with views of the surrounding countryside or the river. A bathroom with WC completes the offer of this charming cottage.

A lovely cottage in a splendid setting with views and sunsets almost beyond description. To wake up to birds on the marshes outside the bedroom windows will linger long in the memory.

We had a fantastic stay at 4 Blackshore, very comfortable, clean cottage - especially suited for a family break of 3 generations. A truly delightful part of Southwold. The lovely welcome pack was much appreciated, a real treat. A big thank you to the owners for sharing their holiday cottage and to the cleaner(s) for keeping the place so clean.

Our Second visit to such a delightful cottage with fantastic views, so comfortable and well equipped. The lovely welcome bag was such a surprise and a real treat - thank you Suffolk Secrets. The cottage was a perfect retreat for a multi-generational family holiday. The owners have thought of everything we could possibly need. We enjoyed the peachRead more and quiet of 4 Blackshore, the delights of Southwold and can highly recommend the butchers, the Two Magpies, and of course The Sole Bay fish and chips, who are still able to do delicious takeaway F & C despite the devastating fire in early may at the Harbour Restaurant. A big thank you to the owners of 4 Blackshore for sharing their beautiful, cosy holiday retreat with us - we hope to return again.............. Hide

The property was absolutely beautiful, and had everything we needed for our stay. Clear instructions in a folder on the property and the views were amazing. very cosy. However the lady we took had slight mobility issues and on the whole could naviagte around the cottage, but my only advice is to make the step from the Kitchen to the living room morRead moree noticeable as she fell and broke her collar bone. She said it was because the flooring all looked the same and she couldnt see the step. But on the whole a wonderful place. thank you Hide
