A bijou hideaway, in a superb setting, in the seaside town of Southwold, this traditional, three-storey cottage is perfect for a couple seeking to escape to the coast.

Find yourselves 250 metres from the lively heart of the town, with its many independent shops, cafes and pubs. Amble 300 metres along the seafront to the pier, where you can stroll out to take in the views, have a bite to eat and watch the famous water clock in action. Plan a trip out of town to the beautiful beach at Covehithe, 5 miles away, while you are here.

Make your way down the shared alleyway to let yourselves into the cottage at ground-floor level. Here you will find a garden room/study, with a Suffolk pamment tile floor and French doors on to the courtyard garden. There is also a family shower room here. Climb the stairs up to the first floor to discover the lounge/diner, where there is comfortable seating on which to watch TV, read a book or simply gaze out at the view. The dining table is positioned conveniently by the window. Also on this floor are the small, yet well fitted out, kitchen and the family bathroom. The bedroom with king size bed is up on the floor above.

The cottage opens on to a small courtyard, with garden furniture, where you can enjoy breakfast out in the warmth on summer mornings.

Have been holidaying in Southwold for years with the children, but my husband and I fancied a few days away on our own and found the nest its tucked away in the corner of St James Green, so never noticed it before. Sea views and a comfortable, quirky property.

I really enjoyed my holiday in 'The Nest'. It's as nice as any I've stayed in Southwold over the years . Cosy and compact, in a great position with a lovely views from the living room and bedroom. Close to the shops but quiet, the sea right on your door step, and a few minutes walk along the lovely seafront to the pier. Didn't use the car once duriRead moreng my stay. Will book again. Hide

Lovely property in an ideal location, would certainly recommend it. Very clean with everything included that's needed for a pleasant stay. Although it's fantastically convenient for beach, pubs, shops and sights, it remains very quiet and peaceful.

A lovely well furnished cottage , perfect for a couple, and in a fantastic location. There was everything you need and more. A small carton of milk, sugar sachets and some biscuits on arrival was nice. Really good WiFi and a selection of books if you like to read.
