Escape to this homely cottage for four guests, to enjoy the spectacular views and convenient location: the ideal base to explore this beautiful part of Suffolk with your family or friends. From your doorstep, discover Southwold’s unusual water clock and admire the landmark lighthouse. Wander along the pier for access to the common, and the rowing boat service across the River Blyth to Walberswick. Denes Beach is within half a mile; pack up a picnic and enjoy swimming, building sandcastles or simply lazing the hours away on this lovely stretch of sand backed by dunes. Check out the programme of events and take in a play at the Southwold Summer Theatre or learn about the local and natural history of this part of Suffolk in the Southwold Museum. Nature lovers will be thrilled at Reydon Wood Nature Reserve within 3 miles, with 16 hectares of ancient, coppiced woodland. Ramble around the circular trails and spot butterflies, wildflowers and birds. Hire bicycles to ride around miles of trails through Southwold and the surrounding villages or just 12 miles away, Minsmere National Reserve offers beautiful walks and idyllic picnic spots through woodland, and a range of family-friendly activities at the Discovery Centre. Take a trip to the seaside town of Aldeburgh with its art galleries, shops, cafes, charming promenade and beach, 18 miles, where Benjamin Britten lived and made musical magic at The Red House, whilst Orford Castle and Great Yarmouth are both within 25 miles.

Open the front door and delight in the characterful lounge, where you can keep warm on colder days in front of the open fire. Head through to the kitchen to share a delicious meal and a sociable evening playing a board game around the table. The bathroom is located on the ground floor too. Go up the cottage-style stairs to find the two delightful bedrooms. The first has a double bed and boasts mesmerising views across the sea, and the second is a twin room with views of the lighthouse.

Wander outside to the courtyard garden for morning coffee at the table, or a glass of something chilled as you take in the evening air.

Lovely little house in the perfect location for a beach holiday, and a great base for trips out in the surrounding area.

Lovely clean, bright, and well appointed cottage. Our 2nd time here with our cat who settled in really well. She loved the sunny main bedroom. All set to book for next year.

Our stay was our 3rd February in a row and we're always reluctant to leave. The bed is new and very comfortable, there is also a new TV in the sitting room, very handy to log into your iPlayer or Netflix (etc) accounts. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment, but we didn't cook as much this time - too many lovely places to eat out in Southwold!Read more We can't wait to return <3 Hide

Seeing the sea whilst sitting in bed with morning cuppa was lovely. The owner was extremely helpful. Rather special to see lighthouse from courtyard garden. The property was quiet and cosy warm. Easy to park outside

The double mattress was very springy and not great for sleeping. The house was very cold upon arrival at 10 pm as all the main windows were wide open and there was a cold wind.
