Property code: OC-HDANBY

This cute fisherman’s cottage is ideal for a family holiday by the seaside or for a cosy couple’s retreat. Set in the centre of town just away from the main high street guests will have all of Southwold on their doorstep. This handsome Edwardian seaside town has much to offer. Cheerfully painted beach huts back its sandy beach and there is an attractive pier for promenades and amusements. Along its streets, visitors will find a great range of shops, cafes and restaurants to discover. And with Adnams Brewery resident in the town, there are plenty of good pubs. The surrounding countryside is part of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so there are lots of lovely walks, cycle routes and sightseeing to enjoy. Visiting the neighbouring village of Walberswick makes a good day trip with its gorgeous sandy beach and picture-perfect village green. Head inland to explore the countryside and perhaps stop off at the friendly market town of Halesworth, 9.5 miles away, for a wander and a browse.

Guests enter the cottage directly from the street into a welcoming lounge with an inglenook fireplace, parquet flooring and exposed beams. On cooler evenings you can draw the curtains, stoke up the wood burner and get cosy. The whole of the downstairs is partially open-plan with a beamed doorway and glassless window opening to the dining area. This features a round wooden table next to a large window overlooking the garden. Off to one side is a compact but well-equipped kitchen and a back door opening to the garden. Also on the ground floor is a shower room. A set of steep cottage-style steps lead to the first floor. Here you’ll find a cosy double bedroom and a spacious twin room. Both have charming, small cottage windows and exposed beams, and there is a quaint desk and chair in the twin room.

Outside guests will find a sheltered suntrap garden bordered by pretty flowerbeds and shrubs. Garden furniture is set out on the patio, so guests can head outside and enjoy their morning coffee or meals alfresco.

A lovely little cottage, very clean and perfect for our family of 4. We have stayed twice now and loved it. Noise insulation was pretty good so we didn't get woken by the seagulls. There was a bit of a brewery smell on one or two of the days but this added to the charm. Great location near the shops and easy walk to beach etc. The shower is a bit oRead moren the small side. Great to have washing machine and dishwasher, really appreciated the 3 dishwasher tabs for us to use. Thanks! Hide

Great quirky cottage, very close to the shops and sea. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The only mini issue is the shower being narrow to get into so limiting person size tbh.

Tired. The lounge is very dark with a garden in serious need of love and attention.

We had a lovely week. Cottage well equipped and comfortable inside. Seagulls very noisy but windows blocked them out at night if closed! Excellent location right be the beach and high street.

Lovely little cottage, great location, nicely decorated with lots of interesting pictures and objects everywhere. Well-kitted out with everything we needed, a lovely welcome pack, two spacious downstairs rooms, good size TV (for Wimbledon catch-up in the evening!) and a pretty back garden. The downstairs loo was a night-time challenge due to the (aRead mores advertised) tiny steep staircase and the shower was just too tiny for our comfort but might be fine for smaller guests or shorter stays. A straightforward booking experience from start to finish - thank you. Hide
