Southwold is a quintessentially British seaside town located on the stunning Suffolk coastline; famous for its iconic beach huts, towering lighthouse and Adnams brewery. The town is surrounded by water making it almost an island, with one road in and out; it is joined to Walberswick only by an old railway bridge, suitable for walkers and cyclists, which adds to the charm of this historic fishing town. There is a thriving community which keeps the town running; there are markets, craft fairs, street fairs and carnivals held throughout the year, celebrating both the history of the town and the local spirit. The 1600s were a historic era for Southwold; in 1634 the butchers, which still trades today, first opened its doors; in 1659 was the great fire of Southwold which saw much of the town burn to the ground and is the reason the town has its famous ‘Greens’; and 1672 saw the Battle of Solebay, in which both the English and Dutch claimed victory and is celebrated through local anniversary ales and spirits. With dog friendly pubs, footpaths to neighbouring villages, sandy beach, fish and chip shops, three convenience stores, fresh fish from the harbour, crazy golf, an array of restaurants, a brewery and a distillery, you will have plenty to enjoy when you visit this exciting and famous seaside town; just watch out for the seagulls pinching your chips!

It is an excellent property, very well equipped, and comfortable. The view across the common is lovely. The garage is (unusuably) an excellent size, larger than normal.. The heating was very well set up, kept us all very comfortable. The AGA in the kitchen kept the chill off in the conservatory on chilly evenings.

We love this property for our extended family of 9 (4x households). The luxury of a bathroom/en-suite each and spaciousness of reception rooms is a great feature (especially as this year we didnt use outside the back because of the changeable weather) meant sociable and quiet times are achievable for everyone. We managed to park our four cars as weRead morell, quite a feat in Southwolds busy holiday streets. Hide

Lovely property in a perfect location. As we were a large group the several en suites were much appreciated. Lovely peaceful walled garden. The downstairs bedroom could have benefitted from a wardrobe or hanging space. Although dog friendly, our pet was limited to two rooms only which was not ideal. Apart from that we had a wonderful week and hope Read moreto visit again. Thank you . Hide
