This attractive apartment is perfect for a small family or a group of friends looking to enjoy a relaxing break at the seaside. Situated on Southwold’s buzzing high street, all of the town’s amenities are on your doorstep, including the beach. The town offers a traditional seaside holiday experience with its sandy beach, waterfront promenade and retro pier. The listed lighthouse is another charming feature of the town and is a good landmark. Southwold is perfect for relaxed days wandering its pretty streets, browsing in interesting shops and stopping off for ice cream or coffee along the way. It is also home to the Adnams Brewery, so there are plenty of traditional pubs serving up fine beers and ales. In summer, a foot passenger ferry takes visitors to the neighbouring village of Walberswick. This makes a pleasant destination for a day trip with its sandy beach and picture-perfect village green surrounded by cottages. The Suffolk Heritage Coast stretches on in both directions and offers plenty of opportunities for walking and sightseeing.

The apartment is on the first floor of a fine Edwardian terrace on Southwold’s high street. There are several steps up to the front door then a single flight of stairs leading to the apartment door. Once inside, guests are welcomed into a beautiful living space bathed in natural light from the many windows. The design and decor are impeccable with an inviting lounge set with sofas gathered around a fireplace and a bright dining area with a wooden table placed under a bay window. Glass doors open to a small balcony overlooking the high street. The main balcony lies to the rear of the property and is much larger. The kitchen is well equipped and is both spacious and attractive, incorporating a useful breakfast bar. Two comfortable bedrooms lie to the rear of the property, both with large windows overlooking the balcony. These are a super-king-size with an en-suite bathroom and another room that can either be configured as a twin room or a king-size. The main bathroom has a shower over the bath.

A long south-facing balcony stretches along the rear of the property. This is set up with a table and chairs for outside dining as well as several easy chairs for relaxing in. This is a lovely spot to enjoy your morning coffee and to watch the world go by.

The apartment is lovely. What would probably prevent us booking it again is the noise from the above apartment which we understand has hard flooring unlike Postmasters that is carpeted. It's a real shame but the noise was an issue for us The sash windows are lovely but only single glazed (we understand this might be due to age of the apartment or Read morecost of replacing them for double glazed units) which is why we noticed the traffic noise. The welcome pack was a lovely treat especially the yummy H&J biscuits. So much so we had to buy some. Great to have the parking space because we only book properties with parking. Such a shame about the noise from above apartment otherwise we'd definitely book it again and also recommend it. Hide

This is an outstanding property on all levels. The quality of fittings second to none in 10yrs of self-catering with Suffolk Secrets in Southwold.

This was an exceptional well equipped apartment with tasteful furniture and kitchen. The beds were warm and comfortable as was the lounge. The welcome pack was excellent and mostly used. The parking space was useful. Our four night stay was superb and had a lovely break.
