For a holiday by the sea with friends or family, book a stay at this well-situated refurbished cottage in pretty Southwold. Everything you need will be within 500 metres of your front door, including the beach, a pub, chip shops and the pier. You may choose to pop to Walberswick (1.5 miles), a pretty coastal village you can reach via foot ferry in the summer months. The secluded Covehithe beach, a peaceful stretch of sand backed by pretty golden cliffs, is around 5 miles north – you could walk there from the house if you’re feeling energetic.

You’ll step inside this charming period property directly from the street. Everything has been refitted to a high standard and the accommodation has a super-modern feel to it. Downstairs, there’s a cosy sitting room with two large sofas facing each other, a TV/DVD player and a gorgeous decorative original fireplace. In the spacious kitchen/diner, you’ll find a contemporary kitchen with white units and a breakfast bar and stools, plus a round dining table and chairs for enjoying meals together. There’s additional seating here, including a sofa, for relaxing. Triple doors from here lead out to the courtyard. There’s also a WC tucked under the stairs. Head upstairs and you’ll find three bedrooms, starting with a king-size room which has an en-suite shower room with a lovely grey-and-white tiled floor. The twin bedroom has zip-and-link beds that can be made into a king-size if necessary, while the third bedroom has a double bed. The family bathroom is also on this floor.

Outside the property, you’ll find a spacious decked courtyard with furniture where you can relax in the fresh air during your stay. There’s also a utility room outside where you’ll find the tumble dryer.

Excellent location for shops and beach, but the front room and main bedroom are noisy due to traffic from a fairly busy road

We loved our stay at Caraway - it's a beautiful place and the kitchen/diner-garden set-up was just perfect for us. The location was spot on too with easy access to the high street and the beach. We very much hope to visit again for our trip next year.

Lots of attention to detail has been given to Caraway Cottage, from the fluffy white towels to the comfy sofa's in the lounge it is one of the best holiday homes we've stayed in.Read more Loved every minute of our stay here.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Even including rechargeable torches. The private parking was a definite bonus. The location is ideal for the shops and restaurants. We were 2 couples and having 2 bathrooms was ideal. I would highly recommend Caraway Cottage.

Cottage was very comfortable and clean. Suited us well as 2 couples taking a break together. Location is perfect for Southwold amenities and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, bars and beach. Parking is a bonus as although we went out of season and the town wasn't busy it does make life much easier to be able to safely park to load/unloRead moread and without worrying about spaces and charges.

The cottage suited our family holiday perfectly. We were three generations and the location, which included generous parking, though a few minutes walk to the beach, meant that we were in very easy reach of everything from shops and restaurants to a fantastic playing field for our grandchildren.
