A seaside escape to Southwold promises a blend of coastal charm and countryside calm for couples looking to unwind. Start your days with a walk along Southwold Pier, followed by a browse around the town’s shops, galleries, and delis. Enjoy a drink or lunch at one of the town’s pubs or beachside cafes, and don’t miss a visit to the Adnams Brewery for a tour and tasting. Just 1.5 miles away, the picture-perfect village of Walberswick sits across the River Blyth – you can reach it on foot via the Bailey Bridge or take the rowing boat ferry across in season for a gentle stroll or crabbing off the quay. Nature lovers should head 9 miles south to the RSPB’s Minsmere Reserve, where you can walk along peaceful trails and spot a variety of birdlife. Further afield, Aldeburgh (18 miles) boasts shingle beaches, art galleries, and its renowned fish and chips.

Step inside and make yourself at home in this welcoming retreat, where laid-back living meets sea views and fresh seaside air. The ground floor opens into a welcoming hallway, which leads through to the light-filled open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area for relaxed mornings and cosy evenings. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for stress-free cooking, and patio doors open directly onto a private outdoor terrace. The lounge area offers ample seating and a large Smart TV, while the dining area comfortably seats four. Just off the lounge, a nautical-themed cloakroom adds extra convenience. Upstairs, you'll find two stylish bathrooms – one with a walk-in shower and the other with a bath. The double bedroom is designed for restful nights, complete with colourful feature wallpaper, a Smart TV, and sea views. There's also a separate dressing room.

Outside, enjoy the breeze from your private patio, furnished with a table and chairs for dining alfresco. An allocated parking space for one car ensures a stress-free stay.

Our second visit to Southwold, this time in a very modern property. Almost opposite the pier it was a pleasant walk along the seafront to reach the town centre. The sitting room was very comfortable and the kitchen extremely well appointed. The bathroom was very efficient and the downstairs cloakroom very attractive with characterful wall paper andRead more very well fitted out for a small space. The courtyard although a small area proved to be a real suntrap and an ideal place for a read with a cup of coffee. The television seemed huge to us as we only have a small one at home! Plenty of storage space in both the bedroom and the dressing room. A great stay. Thank you. Hide

A lovely property, well furnished and everything provided, big comfortable bed and great shower. Location near beach with a view of the sea. Parking off-street right outside the front door which in Southwold is a bonus.

Perfect location - literally yards from the beach and promenade and a very easy walk into town for the shops and restaurants.

This is a lovely house for a couple to stay in with an unenclosed patio so not suitable if you have a dog.
