Property code: OC-5EAS

This wonderful property, situated on a quiet street overlooking Southwold Beach, is perfect for couples or families looking for a traditional seaside holiday. Sleeping four over two peaceful bedrooms, it won’t be long before you’ve settled into coastal life here. Take a gentle stroll along the promenade to Walberswick (1.5 miles) – you could even take the ferry across the river – and enjoy a drink at a tea shops or pub before heading back into Southwold for a delicious meal at one of the many popular restaurants in town.

The property, which is laid out all on one level, is spacious and welcoming. Enjoy uninterrupted sea views from the lounge which has a charming beach hut feel; spend some quality time with your guests over a choice of games that the owners have thoughtfully provided. Take in the splendid views from the veranda on sunny evenings, before snuggling into bed in one of the pretty bedrooms. The twin room opens out onto a little courtyard with a bistro table – perfect for enjoying your morning coffee as the world wakes up.

Make sure you take a walk down to the pier (0.5 miles) where the Under the Pier Attraction is home to some rather unusual arcade games! Children will love it there and in the more traditional arcade at the entrance to the pier. The glorious beach, less than 100 metres from your front door, is perfect for sandcastles. Heading out of town, RSPB Minsmere (11.5 miles) offers the chance to see a variety of sea birds around the coastal lagoons or maybe even otters around the reedbed pools. Somerleyton (17.5 miles) and Framlingham Castle (20.5 miles) are both worth a trip for a bit of history and a walk around the grounds.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 double and 1 twin
  • 1 bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC
  • Electric oven, gas hob, fridge with icebox, dishwasher, washing machine
  • Smart TV
  • Enclosed veranda at the front, and a small, enclosed courtyard at the back

5 East Cliff is in the perfect spot literally overlooking the sea yet so close to the Lord Nelson pub and the high street. Sitting on the veranda or even in the lounge, you can listen to the waves and enjoy a nice glass of wine or an Adnams beer. There are two bedrooms, a well equipped kitchen, a small lounge / dining room and bathroom with shower Read moreover the bath. Everything you need for a perfect holiday. Hide

Lovely cottage literally on the seafront, location perfect for accessing the beach, pubs and shops. The cottage was clean and comfortable and had everything you needed. We were lucky to have perfect weather and enjoyed sitting out the front on the little veranda looking out to sea. Will be back next year.

This property was booked for being all ground level.As I have mobility issues but on arrival it has 3 steps up into the front door. But does not state this in any information on the website about the property. Also some slight steps indoors. In the doorways which are not stated. Just a couple of issues in the bathroom. It would be nice to have a weRead morelcome pack on arrival. Just some basic Bread,milk tea ect included in the price of the property. Have only commented on slight negatives for awareness of others with mobility issues as it states its a accessible property. Every thing else was fantastic. Hide
