"One of the nicest places we have had the pleasure of staying in Southwold" - Philip Davies

Hillside is a detached property sitting proudly in prime location at the bottom of Skillman’s Hill. A beautifully spacious property which presents well with a modern interior. Access to South Green is conveniently at the top of the Hill with the high street and seafront also only a stone’s throw away.

The homeowner has put her heart and soul into renovating Hillside into a one of a kind holiday cottage and it really shows! At the rear of the property you find the open plan kitchen/dining area. A beautiful light and bright space, perfect for creating some culinary delights for your family and friends. The kitchen is well equipped with all appliances and equipment required to make the most of your self catering holiday and the large dining table and chairs makes for this room being the social hub of the house. The sitting room again all newly furnished offers guest comfort as well as being modern and stylish. The room has been cleverly designed with bifold doors splitting the room into two small lounges if desired.

Upstairs the property boasts four bedrooms all spacious, light and bright offering guests ample storage for belongings. Three family bathrooms – one being positioned on the ground floor – offer guests flexibility with both shower cubicles and baths available. Ideal for family groups.

At the front of the property the owners have created a cosy area, patio under foot with bench seating for guests to enjoy some al fresco dining in the summer sun. Shop: 700 yards. Pub: 300 yards.

Why we love this property: Tucked away at the bottom of Skillman’s Hill yet so close to all amenities and of course the beach! A property with the real WOW factor ideal for any family or large group of friends. – You won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful house in a charming peaceful location, yet just a pleasant few minutes stroll to the town centre. The house itself is as perfect for 6 / 8 people as can be imagined, spacious rooms and bathrooms on which obviously no expense has been spared. We loved it and were sad to leave. The fabulous big kitchen is superbly equipped, from the cookRead moreer to the cutlery, from the two fridges to the freezer, with everything one could possibly need. (The first time weve written that about anywhere we have rented before.) The single issue we want to raise is however important: the big inviting bathtub urgently needs a rail on the wall to aid access and, especially, exit. Even for a fit and agile person, climbing out is extremely difficult and potentially dangerous. Indeed, for one our party it proved embarrassingly impossible without burly rescue. Providentially, the door was not locked, or they might have still been there. The proprietor takes such pains to make the house perfect, were sure the problem will soon be solved. A memorable stay: we hope to return. Hide

Stunning cottage beautifully restored overlooking a small green, tucked away just a few minutes walk to high street & sea. High end kitchen, well equipped, & quality bathrooms. Warm & double glazed. Wonderful to return to after a day out. Would return in a heartbeat!

Great week with the family in this lovely cottage. Location was perfect. Only a short walk to the beach and high street. Accommodation was very comfortable and spacious with everything we needed. Couldve had a towel change midweek or access to a tumble dryer.
