This delightful two-storey, period cottage in the popular seaside town of Southwold is ideal for a relaxing holiday for families or friends, with easy access to the local attractions. The property is less than 100 yards from the beach, promenade and lighthouse, and the harbour is only a mile away. Southwold has many independent shops, seafood restaurants, quaint painted beach huts and many footpaths leading through the marshes. Alternatively, Lowestoft is 12 miles away, where you can take a trip to Ness point, the most easterly lighthouse in Britain or head to the harbour for some fish and chips. Meanwhile, Dunwich Beach and Museum are 9 miles away, and there are plenty of opportunities to access and walk the beautiful Suffolk Coast Path which offers some lovely scenery.

This wonderful property is elegantly furnished and offers a distinctly homely and traditional cottage feel, while providing a high level of quality, comfort, and contemporary features. On the ground floor is the elegant sitting room with wooden flooring, plenty of seating, a gorgeous wood burner-effect electric fire, large bay windows that flood the room with natural light, and a TV for settling down in front of after a busy day. The kitchen/diner is another lovely, spacious area with plenty of room and all the appliances and equipment you could need to whip up a great meal. A wood burner adds to the cosiness of the dining experience and there are plenty of extra little touches to make this room an inviting place to be. A utility room with laundry appliances and a separate WC is also on this floor. The hallway with stairs leading to the first floor houses a huge bookcase and upstairs, you will find all the beautiful bedrooms. There are two, luxury king-size bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom and the prettiest of twin bedrooms with lovely soft furnishings. A shower room with WC is the final room on this floor.

A courtyard garden complete with garden furniture and a BBQ makes for an ideal entertaining space in good weather.

Suffolk Cottage is towards the end of Victoria Street, very close to the beach, shops, restaurants and pubs, all of which are within easy walking distance. The street is normally difficult to park in as it is used by staff and guests from The Swan Hotel as well as the public, but the cottage comes with its own parking space, so not a problem. It isRead more a spacious, well-maintained property with all of the facilities you need. Helen went out of her way to find out the age of the children staying so that the right toys and games could be provided, a really nice touch. Unlike other holiday cottages, all of the usual kitchen items (tea, coffee, washing powder, dishwasher tablets etc) were provided, and the electric oven and gas hob easily coped with our large christmas turkey. Overall, it was a really good place to stay and relax, and so much better, and more convenient than other places we have stayed at over the years in Southwold. Hide

We had a really enjoyable week and so many things were greatly appreciated (the lovely travel cot, high chair, kitchen flowers, luxurious soaps and shampoos, towels and soft bedding and the provision of enough dishwasher and washing machine capsules, charcoal for our two BBQs and the welcome pack of provisions). The location is great and the parkinRead moreg was a bonus. We very quickly relaxed into a home from home routine and after a week felt we had been there for ages and didnt want to go home. Everything was so easy and safe for our smallest family member, aged 7 months, who loved the big bath, and exploring the very clean floors. I could go on it was great, and early access on Saturday was much appreciated. Thank you, Helen. You have created a tasteful and luxurious home that anyone should love. Hide
