An astonishing Victorian cottage within 300 metres of Southwold’s vibrant town centre and sand and shingle beach, two of the many jewels littered across the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB. A stylish bolthole perfect for sharing with family or friends, the dog-friendly cottage features an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, three beautifully-appointed bedrooms and instant access to a wealth of attractions found across town.

Tucked away in a small mews off South Green, this welcoming cottage has lost none of its original charm while being brought up to contemporary standards. Stylish decor and an impressive range of tech enhance its light and spacious rooms, with underfloor heating found throughout. The ground floor is dominated by an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which features everything foodies could want to create memorable meals, with the comfort of the awaiting sofas ready to embrace you once plates have been cleared. On the first floor, enjoy a soak in the tiled family bathroom before retiring to one of three wonderful bedrooms: an en-suite super-king-size bedroom with ample storage; a double bedroom with access to a Juliet balcony; and a twin bedroom, perfect for youngsters, which can be made up into a double bedroom upon request. While there is no garden at the cottage, its close proximity to town is a fantastic alternative.

The cottage lies within 300 metres of Southwold’s beach and historic pier beyond, and a town centre home to fascinating period architecture and dog-friendly amenities. Numerous footpaths and trails will take you across town, with attractions including the harbour and Suffolk Coast National Nature Reserve within 3 miles.

A wonderful location and a lovely cottage superb interior and exterior design . Excellent quality contents which matched the amazing weather. All these things ensured we all had a memorable holiday. Thanks for the bread, jam, tea , milk and coffee a welcome start to our holiday after a long journey. Your on line guidance was very thorough and helpfRead moreul but it would also have been helpful to have access to a hard copy as reception in the area was not always consistent. We hired bikes from the local cycle centre and cycled to Dunwich . The children loved this adventure but the route is an off road one . We all want to come back again. Thank you for a most enjoyable and memorable holiday . Best wishes Marion and family. Hide

Lovely property with good sized bedroom, the open plan downstairs was nice but quite small for 6 adults and a toddler. Well situated for the town and beach, very quiet and cosy.

Great location and wonderfully ( I mean top notch) equipped cosy cottage right next to Gun Hill. The living space, which is downstairs, is an open plan kitchen, dining area and sitting area and the owners have a cottage guide app you can download to read before your stay. Very clever use of the space. Good

Garden Lodge is a fantastic cottage located at the bottom of Constitution Hill and very near Gun Hill Cannons. It is tucked away in a little court yard making it a very peaceful location but still only a couple of minutes walk to the beach or the town. The cottage is decorated and equipped to a very high standard. I loved the built in Sonos sound sRead moreystem, my daughter loved the Dyson hair dryers and my wife loved the wood burning stove. It was warm and cosy, the beds were super comfy and kitchen was great to cook in. We'll definitely come back. Hide

Having stayed in Southwold several times, this was by far our favourite location as it was quiet, the sky at night was amazing and we like going down to the harbour/walking to Walberswick. The cottage was very clean with high quality bedding and we loved the tech such as the ceiling Sonos speakers and heating controls in different rooms. The kitcheRead moren is also very well equipped.
