About this property
Gazing out across the dunes of Southwold, Suffolk, Harbour Lights is a seaside retreat, newly refurbished and perfect for groups of friends or families. Park off-road in the ample spaces provided and even use the EV port provided and take in the spectacular seaside views this property has to offer. Be welcomed into the sitting room, where you can warm your feet beside the woodburning stove and catch up on some reading, or when the weather is warmer, open the glass doors and let in the sea air, giving you easy access to the garden where dining alfresco is a must. When mealtimes call, the contemporary kitchen, outfitted with green cupboards and stylish furniture, open-plan and connecting to the sitting and dining area through an archway, this is the perfect spot to cook together, as well as a social hub for all guests to enjoy. A handy utility takes care of your sandy clothes as you get cosy for the night in one of the four bedrooms, including two super-king-sizes and two twins, and each one is tastefully decorated. Climb over the dunes, hearing the swish of the grasses and the crashing of the waves as you enjoy a stroll along the shore of Southwold, maybe even trying out watersports or daring to wild swim. When in need of a hot meal, travel over to Southwold town centre, where a variety of cafes, pubs and restaurants welcome you to try local produce, and there is a selection of independent shops to explore. For more walks, head over to the seaside town of Aldeburgh, where there is also a museum, and if it is history that you love, there is no shortage of castles in Suffolk, including Framlingham and Orford Castle. Fall in love with the seaside of Suffolk with a stay at Harbour Lights.

The location is amazing, being able to step out onto the dunes and beach. The house is cosy and clean. The kitchen has everything you need from cooking a roast, to baking a cake! The beds are the comfiest beds ever...made it hard to get up in the morning due to the comfort! My daughter loves the reclining chair in the lounge! With 3 generations staying there, everyone was happy, from the youngest having the beach, the elders having a tea or coffee watching the view and the middlies walking into Southwold for a retail wander! We wish we were still there!

The fact that the weather was absolutely glorious helped but the house itself feels very welcoming and safe. Everything you need is there and in a very good , spotlessly clean condition. Books and games to keep you occupied if the weather was bad. I had arranged for a delivery of food from Sainsburys which arrived Friday shortly after we had booked in. We ordered a takeaway for delivery on the Saturday evening from the local chinese which was delicious. We look forward to coming back next year

The location is perfection, straight out of the garden gate and onto the beach, plus the super close proximity to the town. The owners have done an exceptional job with the house in terms of design, layout and comfort and also with the additional touches - logs, kindling, matches, kitchen cooking and bathroom basics, like hand wash with every sink, which you don't get everywhere even at other high end properties. This is especially great for a long weekend v a longer stay. We loved it so much we booked for another long weekend later in the year while still there, I think that probably says it all! Thanks so much x
