Property code: OC-TWI2

With roses growing around the front door Twitten Cottage is pretty as a picture; the very definition of a cute and cosy Suffolk cottage, nestling in the heart of the seaside town of Southwold. Twitten is the perfect base for a seaside holiday, being just moments away from both the beach and the High Street boutiques and restaurants. The cottage oozes nautical charm, with blue and cream tones throughout. The small but cleverly laid out sitting room is a great place to curl up with a book after a busy day sightseeing. The compact kitchen and dining area features cream kitchen units and a circular dining table and chairs. The ground floor also features a modern, tiled bathroom. Stairs lead to two relaxing bedrooms, one with a double bed, the other with two single beds, thus making Twitten Cottage ideal for either couples or ‘mum, dad and two kids’ families. Small but perfectly formed, everything has been thought of in this charming holiday cottage. Shop: 50 yards Pub: 50 yards Beach: 80 yards.

Why We Love This Property

A little cottage which was fine for us two fit people (steep narrow stairs). All very pleasant and tucked away near Adnams and the lighthouse. Conveniently situated and very nice for a last minute three night getaway. A pleasing and charming place.

Excellent location for town and beach. Cottage small and though it can sleep4, would be better suited to 2 and a child.Impossible to sit 4 round kitchen table without a lot of removal constantly. Stairs are narrow and steep, so need to be sure footed . Otherwise clean and comfortable.

The cottage is lovely but very small - nothing to be done about that! The back yard was scruffy but really useful for eating lunch and storing beach stuff, drying towels etc. Would not have been so easy if the weather was wet
