Overview
The delightful and beautifully restored Victorian Southwold Cottage is located in a quiet spot in the heart of the trendy Suffolk town of Southwold. With spacious accommodation for six plus a dog, this wonderful holiday home is a fabulous base.
The ever popular Southwold is fantastic with charming independent shops, cosy restaurants and pubs and a wonderful beach featuring colourful beach huts. Southwold is one of Suffolk’s most picturesque seaside towns, and it is easy to see why Southwold Cottage is booked so frequently.
The cottage was recently refurbished to a very high standard. It is stylish, superbly comfortable and offers super comfy furnishings, a gourmet kitchen, a cosy wood-burning stove and three spectacular bedrooms. Much attention has been given to the detail, and the colour palettes are wonderful. The living area is open plan in design with a stylish and comfortable lounge around the wood burner, an elegant dining table and a top-notch kitchen. The DeVol kitchen cabinets are painted a cool olive colour, and the kitchen is complete with a Miele range cooker, other Miele appliances, a Belfast sink and, of course, a Nespresso coffee machine. Sparkling white countertops and striking bronze taps complete the picture giving you no excuse not to come up with a delicious gourmet meal. Guests can sit at the quality dining table with a glass of wine, keeping the chef company!
All three bedrooms are upstairs in various muted shades of blue. You can choose been the Cornish, azure or eggshell blue panelled rooms, all of which offer a warm and elegant ambience. All of the bedrooms are illuminated with natural Suffolk light from the big windows. The master bedroom features a superb kingsize bed and a beautiful ensuite shower room. The other bedrooms offer double beds and share the outstanding family bathroom with its fabulous roll-top bath and shower. It is decorated in the same way as the ensuite shower room.

Location
About the surrounding area of Southwold CottageSouthwold Cottage is found in a quiet little corner of the very scenic town of Southwold. There are few seaside towns quite so quintessentially British as Southwold. With its fine sandy beach and beach hut lined promenade, its refurbished pier and its renowned lighthouse, the town offer a wonderful holiday environment and a welcoming atmosphere.
Southwold lies between Aldeburgh and Lowestoft on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. It is almost an island, being bounded by the North Sea to the East, by the River Blyth and Southwold Harbour to the South West and Buss Creek to the North. There is only one road in and out of the town.
The town is home to the famous Adnams Brewery, a previous winner of The Good Pub Guide’s Brewery of the Year. The brewing rooms are set just behind the High Street adjacent to the town’s iconic lighthouse. You can take a brewery tour throughout the year and can sample the Adnams beers everywhere.
The Southwold Pier is another town focal point. The pier is lined with shops, eateries and amusements. It is a very popular place to be! The working lighthouse is a coastal mark where you can take a tour. It is open subject to weather conditions and is very interesting.
You can take some lovely walks straight from Southwold Cottage. A delightful walk is to cross the River Blyth by foot ferry to Walberswick, crossing back by the footbridge and exploring the trackbed of the old Southwold Railway. This is a gorgeous area where you can enjoy fresh air, good food and wonderful hospitality.
Lowestoft is another fabulous seaside town with much entertainment including the wonderful Somerleyton Hall and Gardens, the East Anglia Transport Museum, Africa Alive, Sparrow’s Nest and Gardens, the Marina Theatre and various other museums.
Aldeburgh is a wonderful escape and is world-renowned thanks to its connection with Benjamin Britten, the founder of the Aldeburgh Festival which takes place every June. It is very pretty with pastel-coloured 19th-century homes lining the promenade and a wonderful pebble beach with fisherman’s huts selling the local daily catch.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesYou will enjoy a wonderful family holiday in Southwold. The pier is a great attraction with its family games, and at night it is very pretty looking back at the town. The fish and chips are always a hit too! Children will also enjoy visiting the iconic lighthouse and spending sunny days on the beach. The little rowing boat ferry to Walberswick is popular, and you can enjoy the walk back or vice versa.
The Alfred Corry Lifeboat Museum is a little gem. Alfred Corry was the Southwold No 1 lifeboat between 1893 and 1918 and during her service she was launched 41 times and saved 47 lives. She has now been restored to her original lifeboat form having been in several hands. The museum tells the story of the lifeboat and her crew throughout her RNLI career. It is fascinating.
There are so many children in Lowestoft including 14 lanes of glow bowling at the Richardson’s Family Entertainment Centre, skating and an arcade on Claremont Pier and over 35 rides, attractions and shows at the Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park. Set in 50 acres, the theme park has ridden up to 50mph and others where you will get soaked. Smaller children will enjoy the Flying Elephant ride, Balloon Rays and the Big Train whilst the older thrill-seeking ones enjoy the Wave Breaker and Kite Flyer. There are sea lion and parrot shows, so something for the whole family.
The East Anglia Transport Museum is a wonderful tourist attraction which is educational as well as fun. It is a living museum showing the development of transport over almost a century. Vehicles of yesteryear can be seen in action. It is a wonderful opportunity to travel on types of vehicle that are now half-forgotten.
Africa Alive offers interactive animal adventures where you can explore the sights and sounds of Africa. You will discover lions, giraffes, meerkats and hunting dogs from the African continent. The ‘Plains of Africa’ centrepiece is where you will spot 5 species of savannah animals including giraffes and rhinos. You will get a good view of the lions from the Lookout Lodge, and you will walk right through the lemur’s enclosure. There are also bushbabies and colobus monkeys. Bird lovers will enjoy the boardwalk and spot a wide range of British wildlife. There are feeding talks and Bird of Prey displays. Get ready to board the safari road train to discover this amazing park!

Great location. Lovely luxury property

Delightful
A delightful holiday cottage with excellent location and a luxury feel. Not for those who are uncomfortable around technology as the house is fitted with a lot of smart technology. The quality of bedding, kitchen electricals etc. is all very high-end. Like staying in a 5 start hotel in the heart of Southwold and a warm and snuggly base for a winter break.
