Castle Keep is truly luxurious on all levels and comes with private parking as well as stunning views over the marshes towards Southwold Harbour and beyond.

Castle Keep is mesmerizing from the moment you park the car where you are greeted by a fantastic outside space which includes a raised decked area with garden furniture which gives a sense of a rooftop setting.

Inside this self-catering holiday home guests are lavished with a large kitchen and dining area for entertaining with your loved ones. Plenty of natural light pours in from the many windows, doors and Velux window. Grey coloured soft-close kitchen units and a generous sized kitchen island are the perfect combination for meal preparation alongside the highest quality kitchen appliances, some of which are Bosch and Neff branded.

This double bedroom has the added benefit of bi-folding doors which also open out onto the outside area for blissful mornings with a cup of coffee breathing in the seaside air. This bedroom has a luxurious En-Suite which comes with a large shower cubicle, oversized, lustrous dome shower head with LED lighting and additional shower.

Upstairs guests are presented with three additional bedrooms for the perfect night’s sleep. A spacious double bedroom comes complete with plenty of storage, fabulous views of Southwold marshland and beyond as well as another luxury En-Suite shower room. The twin bedroom is versatile having 2’6 beds which can be linked together to make a king size bed – the choice is yours. For the smaller guests of your holiday group, kids will love the bunk bedded room with a solid bunk bed frame and plenty of space to play. Each bedroom has Sonos speakers and quality fabrics. The family bathroom also resides on the first floor and is furnished to the same luxury standard as the En-Suites.

From Castle Keep’s location there’s plenty to see and do. A short stroll takes you to the Harbour or in the opposite direction the town centre with its fantastic shops, restaurants and pubs. The beach is only moments away where the iconic colourful huts sit proudly.
