"A very lovely holiday cottage. Ideally situated for a very short stroll to the High Street and beach and lovely walks to the harbour. Amazing sunsets across the heath opposite. Having a parking space was a real bonus at busy times. Loved our stay at Heathside"  - Alison Kelly

Heathside is a cosy family property in the heart of the town of Southwold. With lovely views out towards The Common from the front windows, you really will feel quite at home here as soon as you arrive. Complete with off-street parking space, Heathside is ideally located for exploring the delights of the town by foot, be it an amble to the High Street, a stroll to the sea or a tour of the impressive lighthouse – you really will be spoilt for choice. Cleverly designed, Heathside has an open-plan living area on the ground floor, meaning all of the family can be together to eat a meal, complete a puzzle or simply read a book. The two charming bedrooms are a welcome haven after days spent exploring the area and the refurbished bathroom is clean and modern – great for an evening soak in the tub.

Heathside is in the most perfect location - 5/10 minutes walk to the sea and harbour. A couple of minutes to the shopping area. It is a comfortable and cosy little house and it was a joy to spend the week there.

A quirky property close to town centre one way and open common/shore the other. Getting the heating right was a bit tricky especially the upstairs radiators although this would not be a problem in the summer.

This was our second stay in Heathside in Southwold which is excellently situated for the town, the beach and the common, so access to everything is really easy. The property is comfortable and pleasant and gave us a great base to explore the area. Our little dog also loved easy access to the common and the beach. We hope to return in future.

The cottage is in an ideal position in Southwold. Perfect for a short walk to the beach, common and shops. Comfortable and clean accommodation, furnished to a good standard. Parking at property for one car, though if you have a large vehicle, might be better to use the free car park by the common, which is just across the road. Enjoyed our week andRead more would definitely stay again. Hide
