Overview
Property code: OC-AATHCA

The Cabin has been newly refurbished to a high standard and is an ideal holiday home for four. With sea views from the upstairs bedroom, it is almost on the beach and provides excellent accommodation for family or friends looking to explore this diverse pocket of the Suffolk county. It is homely, has stunning views towards the harbour and is in an ideal location being only a short walk into Southwold with all its excellent shops and restaurants. With stylish mid-century furniture paired with modern day equivalents, The Cabin really should be at the top of your list on your next break to Suffolk. What better than to wake up to spectacular sea views from the comfort of the master bedroom – you really will be the envy of all of your friends! An added bonus can be found in the light sunroom, with views stretching out towards the harbour and neighbouring Walberswick.

The Cabin really does offer the best of both worlds. Shop: 600 yards Pub: 600 yards.

Southwold Denes - Southwold Denes stretches from Gun Hill to the harbour's mouth and acts as a vital sea defence for the town.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Metres from the beach, every place is easy to get to, shops, pub, harbour, pier. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets to see. The Cabin is beautifully decorated and loved the modern furniture and artwork. I have already recommended to friends, hope to return again.

The Cabin was the perfect place to spend a wonderful Christmas holiday. The walk-through layout of the ground floor, from the tastefully decorated lounge, the well equipped galley kitchen, and the dining area with a 180 degree view over the salt marshes, was perfect for the 4 of us, spacious and well laid out. The bedrooms were very comfortable, anRead mored alongisede the bathroom and shower room, the whole house was very clean, neat and tidy for our arrival. An easy 10 minute walk gets you into Southwold, with wonderful eating and shopping opportunities (and a good few excellent pubs) and an even easier 3 minute walk takes you over the road, across the dunes and onto one of the East coasts best set of beaches, and the sea. If you have a dog, take it with you, if not, beg, steal or borrow one for mad long walks along the beach. We had a perfect time, and we will definetely be coming back to The Cabin. Hide

We had a great stay and very much appreciated the welcome tray on arrival. The property was exceptionally clean, comfortable and peaceful. The location was excellent and only a short walk from the Sail Loft, our favourite Southwold restaurant. All in all a lovely holiday.

The Cabin is a lovely house with great views from upstairs. The location is excellent, away from the busy town centre but convenient for everything. We have been visiting Southwold for 12 years every summer and will definitely rebook this house again - one added bonus is not being woken up by the seagulls!

The Cabin is in a fantastic location just a short walk to either the town or the Harbour, with the dunes and beach just over the road. Great views to the rear over the marshes, and to the sea from the main bedroom window. The property is very well furnished and has a large, well equipped kitchen. It feels very light and is certainly a relaxing placRead moree to stay. Although there is building work next door it didnt really cause too much of an impact, (other than their 8am start!) as we were out during the day when they are working. The garden has beautiful views but was disappointingly neglected, there was some rusting and broken furniture and a table a 3 chairs all in need of a good clean. Hide

This is a lovely holiday cottage in a great location, HOWEVER, Original Cottages did not inform us in advance that there was major building work next door throughout our stay with hammering, sawing, workmen shouting, drilling, loud music playing every day from 0800 until 1700. Separately, the dishwasher was broken and could not be fixed by two vRead moreisiting technicians, so we enjoyed washing up to the sound of building work. Upon contacting Original Cottages after we had arrived regarding both issues, we were informed that an email had been sent several months ago regarding the building work but had bounced back. I don't understand why this bounced email was not followed up with a phone call or a second email attempt (and for info, several other emails were received from Original Cottages without issue). We were offered a 20% discount, however, if we had known about the building work in advance we would have made other holiday arrangements as this property is not currently acceptable as a holiday destination. We have one family holiday a year and this year's was neither relaxing nor peaceful. A huge disappointment. Hide

Disruption to our sleep from flapping plastic sheeting surrounding the building site next door spoilt the holiday. Not made aware of it until after we had paid our deposit. One small patch of grass in the back 'garden', and next to no garden furniture !

The Cabin really is a delightful place to stay. Beautifully furnished, with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Situated on Ferry road, a 10 minute walk from the Town centre, the Cabin really is a retreat with a great view out to sea from the main bedroom and easy access to the dunes just over the road.
