Nestled away in a quiet part of the vibrant seaside town of Southwold, this fabulous property, originally part of an old prep school, gives you easy access to the high street and the famous Blue Flag-awarded sandy beach. Sure to charm you from the moment you step in the door, this self-catering holiday home is perfect for four people looking to enjoy all that the Suffolk coast has to offer. Coastal-influenced interiors and a thoughtful approach to guests’ comfort are distinctive features of this property. It has been lavished with love to provide a relaxing home from home.

As soon as you enter, you’ll be struck by the light and spacious feel of this contemporary yet cosy accommodation. The sitting room is a chic and sophisticated space with large comfortable sofa, Smart TV, and a coffee table with two small armchairs (the perfect spot to get your nose stuck into a book!). The owners have thought of everything and have even provided a small study/workstation area in the corner of the sitting room.  This relaxing space provides nautical elegance with tones of blue and the distinctive wall map of the local area is sure to catch your attention. The super sociable open-plan kitchen/diner is the perfect place to rustle up a feast and spend quality time sharing a delicious meal. If you don’t fancy cooking, why not explore one of the town’s eateries or bring home some fish and chips?

Your comfort is key here, and there are two spacious bedrooms to ensure a restful night’s sleep. The master bedroom has a plush king-size bed and a small sofa for those lazy mornings, along with a contemporary en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is made up as a twin room as standard but, thanks to it being a zip-and-link bed, it can be made up as a super-king-size on request. It has a Smart TV The first floor is completed by a chic family bathroom.

So, whether you’re planning on holidaying with family or with friends, (and don’t forget the dog) then we think Amber Cottage provides the perfect space. Fabulously comfortable and convenient, it is sure to be stress-free and relaxing break away!

Very quiet and comfortable house. Was worried about no garden, but dogs loved the common and it wasnt an issue. Parking outside occasionally an issue but always space on the common when needed. We were very comfortable in the house.

Absolutely brilliant cottage in Southwold. Well laid out, exactly as pictured on website, every utensil you would need. Could do with a dog gate at the bottom of the stairs, as no door between living room and staircase. Managed to get parked right outside property and decided to leave the car there all weekend. Walking 2 minutes, if that from tRead morehe main shopping street. Easy walking distance to grassy area for the dogs to use. Easy walking distance to all of Southwold. Went to the Sail Loft near the dunes, very dog friendly. Will be booking another weekend for next year. Hide
