Welcome to Alpha - a fabulous Southwold holiday home on Pier Avenue with the beach just a stone's throw away. A great little coastal bolthole.

This family friendly self catering holiday home is in a great location, close to the stylish shops, cafes and pubs in Southwold. The property is very comfortably furnished and provides a great base to explore Southwold and the surrounding areas. Accommodation is over two floors with three bedrooms sleeping five guests. Living accommodation is on the ground floor and includes a separate fitted kitchen, kitted out with all the usual appliances include a dishwasher and doors out into the sun room, a lovely feature of the property and a great place to relax at any time of year. The charming sitting/dining room has a feature fireplace and a wide bay window which lets the light flood in. A lovely sociable space with blue/grey sofas, armchairs and an oval dining table and chairs, creating a relaxing and beautifully decorated space. Outside there’s a lovely lawned garden to the rear and private parking for two cars at the front.

Alpha is in the Southwold Pier Area, close to the prom and pretty pastel painted beach huts. This is perfect if you’re looking for a holiday home on the Suffolk coast, close to the beach, town’s amenities and easy access to the many footpaths across the marshes. 

Shop: 300 metres. Pub: 300 metres. Beach 300 metres.

Why we love this property...  a lovely holiday home in a popular spot. Head out for breakfast, build sandcastles on the beach or stroll along the footpaths across the marshes… there’s something for everyone!

Southwold Pier Area - It is often said that nothing changes in Southwold. However, the much-acclaimed pier was rebuilt in 2001 and was the first to be constructed in England in over 50 years. It now fits in well with the painted beach huts, promenade and colourful flowerbeds. There is a shop, cafes and an alternative amusement arcade there. The selection of properties' hereabouts makes it an ideal location to stay in Southwold if you require quiet accommodation that is also close to the beach, town centre and the many footpaths across the marshes leading you to the less explored areas of the town.

Brilliant location, parking on the driveway. Easy walk to the pier, shops etc. Plenty of hot water, everything nice and clean. Try the Pitstop cafe, Gun Hill beach cafe and The Harbour pub for delicious food. Local Tesco and Co-op and bakers in the town. Great place for a holiday!

Alpha is an excellent place to stay. We were very comfortable. It is very conveniently positioned for both the beach and the town. We booked Alpha for a holiday for 5 of us, My wife & I, our daughter and her 2vchildren aged 12 & 14. We had one of the nicest holidays I have ever had.

We found Alpha very comfortable and loved that it was only five minutes' walk from the beach. We were also able to walk to Walberswick from Alpha, via Blyth Road, Palmers Lane and the footbridge - took about 40 minutes. Enjoyed seeing birds and wildflowers along the way. We've really enjoyed our holiday in Southwold and found everyone in the town fRead moreriendly and helpful. A lovely atmosphere. Hide
