Get away to this lovely detached, country cottage set on Pier Avenue, just 50 metres from the famous Edwardian pier and beautiful Southwold Beach – perfect for mornings spent down by the seashore. It’s ideally situated for a relaxing coastal getaway in the heart of Southwold. Sleeping seven guests across four rooms, this elegant holiday home is perfect for a multigenerational family escape or reunion with friends.

This elegant property has been thoughtfully modernised to provide a perfect place for a self-catered stay. Enter the hall with plenty of space for coats and shoes, then continue into the well equipped kitchen with access to a covered side alley. A large farmhouse-style table and chairs await in the dining room for shared meals together, and large windows throughout the property let in plenty of natural light. You’ll also discover a welcoming sitting room, with comfortable seating and a wood burner for atmospheric evenings in. From this room, patio doors lead directly outside, offering garden views and adding to this light, bright space. When night falls, retire to your choice of four inviting bedrooms. The convenient downstairs bedroom has a zip-and-link twin set, which it can be made up as a double if requested when booking, and its own private, en-suite shower room. Head up the wide pine staircase and you’ll arrive at the final three bedrooms; take your pick between two double bedrooms and a single bedroom. A pretty family bathroom and separate WC complete the interior of this property. To spend time outside, head through the patio doors and into the large beautiful private south-facing garden. Boasting mature shrubs, a large lawn, a picnic table and umbrella, deckchairs and even a BBQ, it’s an ideal place to share al fresco meals on warm days. Store your bikes and beach gear in the attached brick garage and hang wetsuits and swimming towels in the covered side alley, accessed from the kitchen. There’s even a useful outdoor tap in the garden for hosing down sandy feet.

Step out to explore an array of independent stores, galleries, coffee shops, bakeries, and fresh seafood restaurants peppering the streets of Southwold (within 200 metres). In the centre of town stands the iconic white Grade II-listed lighthouse, while beautiful Southwold Beach (50 metres) is home to colourful beach huts and is the perfect place for a bag of fish and chips. In summer, hop aboard the passenger ferry to Walberswick (2 miles/8 miles by car) where you can go crabbing in the harbour or explore Blythe Estuary Reserve.
