This majestic house is surrounded by an immaculate garden and private woodland. With its stately grandeur and Georgian architecture, it's a true one-off. Inside, opulent furnishings nod to the history of this estate and provide luxurious comfort. There's even a house manager and team on hand to prepare the home to suit your occasion. The surrounding coastline and local countryside provide ample opportunity for beautiful scenic walks and outdoor pursuits. 

Sense & Sensibility

Life is but a dream at this lovely cottage set on the sprawling estate of Worlingham Hall. Completely secluded from the Grade I-listed Georgian manor at the heart of the grounds, this home is a unique blend of country charm and plush extravagance. From the snug study – complete with a leather-topped desk and high-backed office chair – every room here feels warm, cosy and just a little bit decadent. Host Tommaso has a passion for antiques – mainly British, Chinese and Tibetan furniture – which only adds to the stately atmosphere. After a day spent wandering the 448 acres of private woodland in your backyard, pop a bottle of bubbly and idle away lazy summer evenings in the lush private garden. In winter, snuggle up on the sumptuous leather sofas with an engrossing book and a fire roaring in the brick hearth. Worlingham lies between Norfolk and Suffolk – an ideal spot for exploring both the idyllic countryside and stunning coastline – while Beccles, a pretty market town boasting an array of quaint tea rooms, charming pubs and independent shops, is just a short thirteen-minute drive away.

Looking at this modern home, set in the rural countryside of Norfolk, you might not be fully convinced of its former life as a dilapidated cattle farm, but the clues are there if you know where to look. The wooden beams, for one, add plenty of character and warmth, and so does the exposed brick.

The other benefit of it having been a farm, is that there is acreage for days. In almost every direction you look, you’ll be met with untamed flora to make mornings seated out front with a fresh coffee the sort of peaceful affair you need to fully unwind. On balmier days, spend time out barbecuing, a local cider in hand, or if that seems like too much effort, open the bifold doors and let the breeze into the living area where we hope you’ll be plopped on the sofa with a good book.

Between this gorgeous space – inside and out – and the hot tub, you might not have time for much else, but don’t let the quintessential pub visit stay on the bucket list. Besides, there’s nothing like a fish and chip lunch after a visit to one of the sandy beaches.

This beautifully converted old granary, situated in the countryside just outside the village of Sotterley, is about quintessentially English as it gets. Here, you can spend precious time with your loved ones and admire the natural beauty of this setting. 

As soon as you walk in, you'll feel this home’s storied past with its original beams, timber-clad walls and charming period features. The contemporary whitewashed living room with its log-burning fire is the perfect setting for a cosy night in – especially after a long day walking the local trails. The heart of the home is the sleek and modern, country-style kitchen – perfect for whipping up indulgent English breakfasts and for socialising long into the late morning around the farmhouse table. On brighter days, you’ll want to open up the French doors to the patio and dine under the early afternoon sun overlooking the blooming garden. 

There are endless walks you can head out on here, ideal if your furry companion is joining you. You’re within a short driving distance of Southwold and its award-winning pier, as well as the nearby market town of Beccles. If you’re seeking National Trust treasures, you can reach the historic house of Somerleyton and the stunning castles Bungay and Framlingham.

Large groups looking to explore the expansive Norfolk landscape will love all that this stunning Georgian home has to offer. Located just a fifteen-minute walk from the charming village of Somerleyton, with its grand hall and traditional pubs, there's plenty to see and do in the area – walking, and cycle paths, boats for hire in St. Olaves. The nearest beach is a quick ten-minute drive away, while the lovely seaside towns of Gorleston and Great Yarmouth are approximately twenty minutes in the car. But we really wouldn't blame you if you stayed put at home. After all, the main house boasts a pool table, a large lounge, an impressive dining room and four elegant bedrooms. On top of that, guests can delight in sweeping views of Waveney Valley. Wander out into the sprawling picturesque garden, and you’ll find a rustic fire pit and wood-burning hot tub to pass the time in. There’s also a delightful shepherd's hut where two additional guests can stay, providing an intimate space to enjoy a little more peace, quiet and privacy close to nature. Reconnect with the countryside at this lovely retreat and explore the Norfolk Broads and Suffolk Heritage Coast.

There are too many good things about The Hobart Spring to list, but suffice to say that it’s every bit as good as it looks. Most of the buildings date to the 1470s, when Sir James Hobart (later attorney general to the king) built his family home. Our favourite room (not an easy decision) is the kitchen, which looks beautifully traditional, but alongside the Aga, has an electric oven, gas hob, espresso machine and more. You can also pick herbs from the raised beds in the back. Either as a gateway to the Broads, or as a destination in itself, you can’t go wrong.

The Hobart Spring

Dating back as far as the 1470s when Sir James Hobart (a confidante of Henry VII) built a family estate, This home is one of the most spectacular places we’ve ever seen and truly perfect for family gatherings, breaks away with friends, weddings, and more. Step into history oozing with the finest luxury afforded to the home's guests, including ample space as, on top of the main hall, there’s also the Gatehouse, the Cottage, and the Garden Rooms, as well a separate barn for hosting events, and of course the grounds. The history of this home has been preserved immaculately, while at the same time, modern comforts are around every corner. Either as a gateway to the Broads, or as a destination in itself, you can’t go wrong.

The facilities available at the hall are second to none, with no need or whim uncatered for, including perfectly equipped kitchens, games room, library, a wealth of entertainment, cosy open fires and woodburners, lawns and meadows, and even a moat, and should you wish to prize yourself away from this phenomenal home and head on out to explore, the bustling seaside town of Great Yarmouth is just a twenty-seven-minute drive away, while the Norwich city centre can be reached in twenty-two minutes by car, and is perfect for those shopping needs. We highly recommend trying out the cosy pubs around the area for a good pint and perfect company.

The Hobart Spring Estate

This is a charming barn conversion that's been beautifully renovated with high spec fittings and furnishings. It has ample space, indoors and out, for large groups of loved ones or cherished friends (including the furry kind) to get together in the glorious Suffolk countryside. And it's just 15 minutes’ drive from the nearest beach. The garden is a palette of greens, featuring an idyllic pond-side patio with alfresco dining and your very own pétanque (boules) court. One thing that really stands out is the superbly sociable space offered by the open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area: three distinct spaces stitched together so the whole group can feel connected whilst having the flexibility to do your own thing. The chefs among your party will certainly appreciate this architectural quirk. Another large living room, complete with a wood-burning stove and French windows, offers a change of tone, perfect for an after-dinner game of charades or a quiet nightcap before retiring to the comfort of your rooms. 

Angelica Barn

It may well go without saying, but farmyard barns tend to be quite large, so when they're converted into homes, they also fall into the larger camp. That's certainly the case with this property close to the Suffolk village of Barsham. Finished in a contemporary neutral colour scheme, it's unlikely that guests will be short of space at any point. The kitchen has plenty of surfaces for preparing a hearty feast, while the long dining table can only be described as banquet-esque. The open-concept living space comes with a free-standing wood burner, as well as glass doors looking out to bucolic views. Out the back, there's a large enclosed garden complete with a barbecue and an alfresco dining set-up. When you fancy taking in the great outdoors, there are three circular walks that start nearby and the coastal town of Lowestoft can be reached in half an hour in the car.

Experience a rare treat – a stay at a truly grand stately home, nestled in the middle of a beautiful country estate, steeped in history and offering more than a taste of luxury. A filming location for Netflix’s uber-popular hit, The Crown, this home will make you feel like royalty from the moment you arrive. 

Dating back to the Saxon times, the house as it appears today was created during the reign of Queen Victoria, with the help of the visionary architect, John Thomas and renowned landscape designer William Andrews Nesfield. As you arrive you’ll be dazzled by the spectacular gardens, known as one of the finest in the country – guests will be able to spend hours wandering through the enchanted alleyways, exploring the maze and the parkland and cooling off in the wild freshwater pool. 

The main Hall will welcome you in lavish style – great rooms with grand pianos, a library with rare, gilded books, and dining rooms with long tables for the group to gather and celebrate special occasions or delicious family feasts served in true style. You'll be able to sample those unforgettable menus, created by a team of chefs who use only the best local and sustainably sourced produce. Each of the twelve bedrooms retains the character of a Victorian mansion with a collection of antique furniture that’s seen many esteemed guests stay here over the home's long history. If only these walls could talk! 

Outside, this family-run estate offers everything from bike trails, horse stables and woodland walks, to cocktail classes, wine tastings and foraging. The grand rewilding project has seen 1,000 acres become home to an abundance of wildlife, making a stay here a unique experience for nature lovers too.

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

An idyllic countryside escape, this home is perfectly set up for a group of friends or family looking to explore the Norfolk Broads and the Suffolk Heritage Coast. This Georgian property includes a beautiful sunroom with a pool table, a comfortable sitting room, and four magical bedrooms. Gather your ensemble for a games night in the dazzling conservatory with elegant grey furnishings, vintage record prints and large picture windows, or spend cosier, more intimate evenings curled up in front of the crackling fireplace with a good book in the lounge. Overlooking Waveney Valley, you'll be surrounded by farms, fields and meadows that make for wonderful countryside walks. You're also just a short fifteen-minute amble from the charming village of Somerleyton with its grand hall and fantastic pubs. Here, you'll also find tranquil footpaths and scenic cycling routes that crisscross the stunning countryside. Five minutes up the road, St. Olaves is the place to go to hire a boat for a relaxing day on the river. Meanwhile, the beaches of Gorleston and Great Yarmouth are around a twenty-minute drive. With its serene setting and well-connected location, you're in for a truly relaxing holiday.

This Suffolk country home is a real feast for the senses. There are a whole host of features that you would expect to see in a rural property — for instance, the wooden ceiling beams, flagstone flooring, and antique beds. However, there are also lots that you wouldn't, like the eclectic art collection, the bright colour palette, and even an enviable amount of lego figurines. Though the inside is quirky as can be, the real fun starts when you head outside. On the patio, guests will find a barbecue, plenty of seating and a hot tub — that's summer evenings sorted, then. Venture further into the grounds and you'll come across a children's play area and a replica space rocket installation. The nearest village with a pub — Westhall — is less than twenty minutes' walk away, while the seaside town of Southwold can be reached in a similar amount of time in the car. However, if you just fancy staying in, the host can arrange for a private chef, masseuse or nail therapist to pay a visit to the house.

To Boldly Go

Once a rectory in a former life, this handsome stone house surrounded by well-kempt grounds mixes rural charm with enough contemporary flourishes to make it palatable for 21st-century travellers.

A wander about the home will show you exactly what we mean. There's an emphasis on old-fashioned warmth and cosiness in many of the spaces, from the snug complete with a wood-burning fireplace and the library with shelves packed full of books to the master bathroom with a freestanding bathtub. By contrast, the kitchen is all sleek surfaces and clean lines, save for the Aga.

During the warmer months, guests have the option of heading outside and making the most of the wraparound garden, which has its own iron rose pavilion, a treehouse and a firepit by which to get toasty on summer evenings. The south-facing outdoor space is home to plenty of wildlife, which can be spotted using the telescope positioned by the library window.

If you want to see some non-native species, Pettitts Animal Adventure Park takes just over twenty-five minutes to reach in the car. It takes a similar amount of time to get to both Gorleston-on-Sea and the city of Norwich, so there are days outs for all tastes here.

Quaint & Quirky

Ping Pong Table

Perfect for families, this lovely home stands in Spexhall, on the outskirts of Halesworth. It’s close to the seaside towns of Southwold and Walberswick, and there’s plenty to explore nearby. The home itself is comfortable and attractive, with the star of the show undoubtedly being the orangery. From this glass-walled room, you can enjoy wonderful views over the acre of gardens and the surrounding rolling fields, and watch gorgeous sunsets. There’s also a terrace with a fire pit, barbecue and pizza oven, ideal for warm summer evenings. 

The Pilgrim's Path

The property is beautifully located in a village called Barsham only 2 miles from the popular town of Beccles, and comprises of two separate dwellings that can be booked together to welcome up to 20 guests – The Hen House and Daisy Cottage. Nestled on a farm alongside a small glamping site, there is plenty to see and do right on your doorstep from collecting eggs to enjoying the other farm animals. There are also three circular walks from our site ranging in miles as well as cycle routes nearby ideal for guests looking for an active holiday. The Hen House, sleeps 14, offers two large open plan living areas comprising of a kitchen, dining space and sitting area. Beautifully furnished to provide a touch of luxury during your Suffolk holiday...

Barsham Bliss

Sitting on the top floor of a hand-crafted timber-framed barn, this comfortable home offers ease and comfort amidst the beautiful Suffolk countryside.

Boasting beautiful views across the surrounding fields, the living area invites you to sit back and relax, especially after a busy day of lawn games on the shared grounds and rambling along the nearby walking paths.

A cute balcony overlooking the treetops is set with a bistro-style table and chairs, perfect for sunny alfresco breakfasts and celebratory sundowners as the light turns golden. With a cosy bedroom and a gorgeous corner tub to sink into with a glass of bubbly, you’re all set for a calm, carefree time. 

You’ll be staying in the hamlet of Ilketshall St Margaret, just south of the picturesque market town of Bungay. Here you’ll find plenty of shopping and dining opportunities, and you can get there in just ten minutes by car (the barn has plenty of parking) or half an hour by bicycle. After all, you’ll also be surrounded by a warren of National Cycle Routes, guaranteed to keep any keen cyclists busy. Elsewhere, Lowestoft and its beach are a half an hour drive and the medieval city of Norwich is forty minutes away by car. 


Midnight Tower

Found among peaceful Suffolk woodland and surrounded by fragrant lavender plants, this traditional cottage recently underwent a complete renovation. Lots of original features were retained — such as the exposed brickwork and the inglenook fireplace in which a log burner sits for those chilly nights — but the rest was spruced up to the high standards demanded by twenty-first-century travellers. The palette of muted greys and recessed ceiling spotlights feels particularly en vogue, while the private garden with its neat plant beds and alfresco seating on the patio really makes the most of the space. You’ll find a farm shop a half-hour walk away in the nearby village of Wangford, but if you don’t fancy cooking, there’s also a gastropub ten minutes away on foot, too. In terms of days out, you really are spoilt for choice. The seaside town of Southwold takes less than a quarter of an hour to reach in the car, while RPSB Minsmere can be reached in just under twenty-five minutes.

A Rainbow Shines

From exhilarating barefoot beach strolls to browsing independent shops and sampling fresh local produce in trendy food stalls, this home welcomes you to enjoy it all from its enviable location on the Suffolk coast. 

Just steps from Lowestoft beach with Claremont and South Pier within easy walking distance, you’ll find everything you could need to soak up quintessential seaside charm. And when you’re ready to slow down and relax, this home opens its doors with a wonderful sense of warmth and character. 

Set across four floors, you’ll find an abundance of space to embrace the simple pleasures of coastal living. Enjoy leisurely morning breakfasts around the table, lazy afternoon naps in the elegant bedrooms, cosy afternoons on the sofa and fun-filled games nights. However you spend your time here, every moment will be enriched by the atmospheric sea views and the calming sound of the waves.

The picturesque village of Southwold sits on The Suffolk Coast and Heaths, one of only forty-six regions in the country officially labelled an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. We think the best way to discover this exceptionally beautiful landscape, is to stay in an exceptionally beautiful home. On a street of candy-colored cottages, an eight-minute walk from Southwold Pier, your home is painted in a dreamy pale blue, with terracotta roof tiles, and a cute white door beckoning you inside. Built in 1850, you’ll love the original features like exposed wooden beams, a winding staircase, and wood-burning fireplace in the lounge. We think this is the perfect spot to settle down on the sofa, crack open a bottle of fizz, and say cheers to the start of your holiday. Another option would be sipping champagne in the luxurious freestanding tub, or taking celebrations out to your private patio on a sunny afternoon. When you get peckish, take a wander to your nearest chippie, three minutes away. Protect your portion of fish and chips from the seagulls as you stroll one minute down to the promenade and take in the fresh air from the North Sea.

Pale Blue Gull

This charming timber barn, set right in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, is a modern country dream. Traditional beamed ceilings are illuminated by the sun flooding through the mosaic of windows, while comforting furnishings keep this vaulted white space cosy. 

If you’re visiting during the summer months, make the most of the glorious garden – sip coffee on the terrace to the sounds of the birds, stretch out on the lawn with your holiday read and fire up the barbecue come evening for an alfresco dinner under the stars. During the winter season, this home is a delight to spend time with your loved ones. The sleek and modern kitchen is set up for the keen cook – rustle up family favourites, then gather around the wooden table to share wine and conversations before sinking into the brown leather sofas for a movie night. 

We doubt you’ll be in any rush to leave your country abode, but if you do feel like venturing out, the sands of Southwold are fifteen minutes by car. Walk along the pier, fish and chips in hand, and soak up the North Sea breeze.

Barn on the Meadow

The coastal village of Southwold, like most English seaside towns, has a splendid mix of quaint shops, rustic pubs, and chippies. A twelve-minute walk from its traditional pier, and fourteen from the boating lake, this cottage is a perfect base for exploring the local delights. As you enter through the red brick archway, stepping inside the home is like being transported to old England. You’ll immediately feel a warm welcome for the original wooden beams and fireplace in the lounge. With muted colours throughout, it’s a calming space for a country retreat. White walls bring a fresh and modern feel, with some quirky features like a funky chandelier in the master bedroom. Outside, we love the idea of sitting out in sun on the peaceful patio, with a cup of tea and a novel. And to pique the interest of literature fans, Southwold is a former stomping ground of George Orwell. A far cry from the urban dystopias of some novels, the fictional town from 'A Clergyman’s Daughter' is based on this very village. See if you can find the Orwell plaque in town (hint: follow the smell of fish and chips).

Knype Hill

This pretty little timber-framed cabin is just perfect for a peaceful retreat for two. You get the best of both worlds here – you’re in a tranquil rural setting, with your very own garden, but the nearest village, Wrentham, is just two miles away. The cabin is filled with light and decorated in a simple, modern style. Whether you have breakfast in bed, at the dining table or in the garden, you’ll be surrounded by calming greenery wherever you look. 

The popular seaside town of Southwold is a mere fifteen-minute drive away, with its famous pier and long sandy beach. It's a foodie town, with all sorts of great places to eat and drink, and real ale fans can tour the Adnams Brewery in the town centre. Other nearby attractions worth a visit include the coastal gems of Covehithe, Walberswick and Aldeburgh. 

Passiflora

Safe

Set on the Suffolk coast, just a stone's throw from the beach, you'll find this charming former fisherman's cottage. Your hosts have recently renovated this home from home with your needs in mind, yet they've retained plenty of its undeniable period charm in the process.

Inside, the living room is decorated in soothing green tones, with plenty of comfortable Chesterfield seating and a wood burner that makes for idyllic nights telling tall tales around the fire. Elsewhere, the dining room has seating for four and a convenient workspace for anyone who can't quite leave the office behind. Finally, there's a compact kitchen equipped with everything you might need to whip up family feasts, plus an inviting bathroom with a Victorian rolltop bath for some evening 'you' time.

Upstairs, you'll find the three bedrooms, including a lovely main room with plenty of clothes storage so you can unpack and settle in. The second bedroom features a stunning custom-built shelving unit that houses everything from books to houseplants, while the third bunk room is perfect for the kids.

The cottage is under a quarter of a mile from the beach and there's a highly rated fish and chip shop just a few doors down, so order yourself a catch of the day and eat in the dappled sunlight of the courtyard garden, or head down to the beach for an impromptu alfresco dinner overlooking the sea.

Blue Persuasion

Tucked way in a village three miles outside Lowestoft, this restored Victorian lodge ticks all the boxes – a homey living space, a quaint kitchen with everything you need to cook and an excellent location just a ten-minute walk from Corton Beach. As warm and inviting as the lounge is – and with a wood-burning fire and overstuffed sofa, it's downright cosy – the private garden is the star of the show. There's plenty of tables to sit and enjoy a cup of tea in the morning light, while the summer house is a sweet spot to unwind after a day of exploring. Simply fire up the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco dinner as the sun sets before retreating inside to the comfortable bedrooms. On your doorstep is Corton Woods, a local nature reserve that's perfect for scenic walks with the whole family (including dogs!), not to mention the North Sea coast if you want to sprawl out in the sand. Mix things up with a day at the local amusement park – it's five minutes away by car – or drive ten minutes into Lowestoft for seaside eateries, shopping, pubs and museums. It's the most easterly point in the UK, making it the first place to see the sunrise – early birds won't want to miss it.

Eastern Sun

Getting out to the countryside is a treat on its own – add some rescued horses (there's an on-site horse sanctuary) and a 400-acre estate to roam, and we are sold. This cosy home sits on the Broads National Park border, which boasts over 125 miles of tranquil rivers and lakes that you can explore. Fritton Lake is a six-minute drive or a thirty-minute walk – spend a day out kayaking, or head out to the Norfolk beaches – Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth are both around twenty minutes in the car. 

When you return, this home will greet you like a hot cup of cocoa – the muted wall colours are soothing. Whip up some dinner with some fresh, local Norfolk produce and enjoy the fruits of your labour at the dining table. This place is ideal for a family – there are board games aplenty to keep everyone occupied. The master bedroom even has a jacuzzi-style bath, inviting you to have a soak after a long country walk.



Stables and Pastels

Do you want beach views from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to sleep? Of course you do – who wouldn't? Well, this bright and comfortable apartment offers you just that, as it's right across the road from the sea. Any closer to the water and you'd be swimming in it – from the big windows, you'll have a first-rate view of lapping waves, the Lighthouse and the famous Southwold Pier. The beachy vibe runs throughout the interiors, with jaunty nautical striped furnishings and prints of shells and marine life on the walls. Our favourite part is the compact balcony, where you can sit with a drink and watch life pass by on the promenade below.

And it should come as no surprise that the location is excellent. You're just a five-minute walk from the shops and pier in Southwold and mere moments from the sandy beach. Whether you fancy fish and chips along the promenade, a pint at one of the local pubs or sunbathing on the seaside, your options are endless. And it's all within easy reach – exactly what you need for a carefree, coastal holiday.

Along the Promenade

Hidden down a quiet cul-de-sac in the market town of Halesworth, this peaceful bungalow is an ideal retreat. Smartly modernised, its neutral interiors are comfortable and contemporary, with cosy sofas in the open-plan living room. There's a pristine kitchen, fitted with everything you could need for cooking at home, along with good size bedrooms and a fabulous rain shower in the bathroom. We love the outside space here, with a table and chairs overlooking the lawns – the perfect spot for a few glasses of wine and a bite to eat on summer evenings. Just a couple of minutes walk from the centre of town, you can easily head out to discover the performing arts venues, shops and restaurants nearby. Or head further afield to enjoy beaches, walks and cycling in the surrounding countryside – Minsmere Nature Reserve, Dunwich Heath and Southwold are all within a twenty-five-minute drive.

Interwoven Branches

Rooftop Terrace

Escape for some fresh coastal air and bring your friends or family members along with you. It's a spacious and stylish apartment with plenty of seating, pops of colour and tasteful decor. Ideal for a small group, this contemporary home offers comfortable bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a sleek kitchen and a chic dining area – we especially love the Eames-style chairs and funky artwork. While this is a modern build, and a well-presented one at that, there's a warmth here with the vibrant scatter cushions, comfy throws and green houseplants that makes it feel like home right away. The real highlight of the apartment is outside space – complete with garden furniture, a barbecue and a tall wooden fence for added privacy – sitting out on the patio with a glass of chilled wine is a dreamy way to bookmark any day if you ask us. Perfectly placed, walk to sandy Great Yarmouth Beach in less than twelve minutes and be at Nelson's Monument and the lively town centre in under half an hour. We'd especially recommend a trip to the Merrivale Model Village if you're after a fun family day out – as with most of the popular attractions, it's well within reach here. 

Town Is By The Sea

Positioned at the bottom of Skillman’s Hill, this contemporary cottage is no more than a fifteen-minute stroll from the sand and shingle beach at Southwold Pier. Expect unfussy interiors, with open-concept communal spaces to make entertaining a breeze. But as evening rolls in, close the bifold doors in the living area to create two cosy sitting rooms. The heart of this home is most certainly the kitchen. Keep wine glasses topped up as your brood eagerly awaits dinner on the comfortable couches. The Falcon cooker is sure to impress the most discerning chef, while the toasty underfloor heating is a treat for chilly feet after paddling in the North Sea. For afternoon tea or hearty lunchtime fare, you’ll find cafes and pubs reached in just five minutes by foot.

Driftwood & Sea Spray

Mini Bar

Rustic exposed brickwork and ancient wooden beams set the scene for an unforgettable pageant of relaxing days and exciting soirées in this decadent Halesworth home. 

Surround yourself with your nearest and dearest because every night is sure to be special in this sumptuous homestead amidst the tranquil Suffolk countryside. A pair of cosy sofas set next to a crackling log fire provide the ideal setting for intimate catch-ups while dramatic copper lampshades create a sense of occasion at the dinner table. 

Each individually named bedroom provides an elegant, calming retreat for some rest and repose at the end of the day and a second sitting room, quirky bar nook and lush green garden provide space for everyone to enjoy their holiday as they wish.

There’s plenty on offer for fun day trips out whether it be expeditions on foot through the Suffolk countryside and heathland, excursions by car to the stunning heritage coastline or even just a stroll into town, just four minutes away, to taste some of the delicious local brews in the pubs.

The Old Farm House

If you’re looking to enjoy Southwold, you’ll be perfectly positioned – just an eight-minute walk from the popular pier and sandy beach. Spend mornings getting tea or coffee in town before strolling along the shore on the promenade. There’s plenty of footpaths across the marshes to lead you around the less travelled parts of town too if you’re craving scenic adventure. Then return home to your lovely cottage, which brings the carefree spirit of the seaside into its effortlessly chic décor. We love the roomy sage-coloured kitchen, ideal for preparing home-cooked meals for the whole family to enjoy at the large wooden table. Then let the kids run around the grassy lawn, or settle in the bright living area with your holiday reads and a board game. The light wood parquet flooring and stylish modern light fixtures make this classic cottage feel contemporary and cool, even in a place as charmingly constant as Southwold. 

Brine and Sand

Luxury Toiletries

This Georgian cottage brings all the genteel charm to match its picturesque Suffolk setting. Nestled in the seaside town of Southwold, you’re just moments from its sandy beach and bustling high street. Dating back to 1740, exposed timbers, cast iron fireplaces, and an original winder staircase show the bones of its past. Whilst chic all-white interiors, clean uncluttered spaces, and beautifully modernised bathrooms keep things fresh and current. A home to enjoy whatever the season – there’s a cosy lounge and open fire for winter months, and a pretty and secluded courtyard garden complete with a barbecue for making the most of sunnier days. With everything on your doorstep, you’ll find there’s no need for a car. Grab your bucket and shades and take a stroll down to Southwold Beach with its beach-lined promenade and pier, all just five minutes on foot – stopping off at the local bakery for picnic supplies first. And when tummies start to rumble, there’s fish and chips aplenty and many a local pub all within walking distance on the high street. With sands, sea and glorious surroundings, this is the British seaside at its best.

Postcard From Southwold

With characterful original features like open brick fireplaces, exposed wooden beams and carefully preserved wooden floors, this traditional cottage is utterly charming. It blends antique and shabby chic furniture to create a welcoming vibe – recline on the plush white sofas in the living area, fix up breakfast to enjoy at the classic round dining table and sleep in cosy bedrooms full of books and charm. While the shared outdoor courtyard is the spot for morning coffees or afternoon drinks, the downstairs’ table tennis set up is the after-dinner spot. But best of all, you’ll be excellently located in Southwold on the Suffolk coast. The beach is an eight-minute walk away, where you can paddle in the sea or stroll along the pier. The shops and pubs in town are even closer, with a deli, wine shop and butchers all within a five-minute walk. Regardless of whether you prefer land or sea activities, you couldn’t be better placed. 

Married to Sea

This bright and elegant bungalow situated in the coastal village of Reydon is an ideal base for a family or a group of friends on the lookout for a peaceful Suffolk escape. Just a short drive from the beach, this home not only has the perfect location but also features all the comforts to make your stay a restful and relaxing one. 

Spread across a single level, you’ll be greeted by a large open-plan living space, filled with streams of natural light flooding in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. We love the wooden floors, plush sofas and wood-burning stove, all working together to create that cosy, welcoming ambience. You can also access the garden from here, where you’ll find beautiful old trees and plenty of comfy seating, perfect for organising those alfresco suppers with the family. 

And speaking of meals, it’s impossible not to mention the sleek and modern kitchen, which will make rustling up those delectable snacks a work of moments. You’ll also find an additional patio space on the side of your home, and this is a lovely spot to enjoy your coffee in the morning. 
For a night of restful sleep choose among four equally comfy bedrooms, but before you head off to the land of sweet dreams, why not enjoy a luxurious bubble bath? 

When it comes to exploring the area, there’s plenty here to keep everyone happy, from nature walks, idyllic beaches and water sports, to the characterful village and a range of local shops and artisanal offerings to discover. 

I Write By the Sea 

Pack up the extended family, including your furry friends, and head to the beautiful shores of Kessingland Beach. The hardest job in this home will be deciding whether to stay and enjoy the stunning sea views or head out to explore the miles of glorious beaches. Thanks to a home cinema, a basement games room, a huge lawn for football or croquet, and two sun-drenched terraces, there’s plenty of space for everyone to come together for family fun. And if you’re after a moment of relaxation, a soak in the roll top bath tub or nestling into the sofa by the wood burning stove should do the trick. Best of all though, you’re moments away from the beach, so whether you enjoy surfing, sunbathing or swimming, this coastal home grants you easy access to the coast and all it has to offer.

Courtyard

Stay a stone's throw from the high street in the popular seaside town of Southwold. This lovely light-filled home offers an unconventional layout, providing plenty of separation between the spaces, making it ideal for a multi-generational family holiday or a coastal get-together for a couple of families.

As a former malt house, the Grade II-listed home offers an eye-catching blend of ancient exposed beams, soaring vaulted ceilings and open communal spaces that lend themselves very well to modern living. A spacious kitchen provides direct access to a suntrap patio out back – perfect for summer barbecues – while the expansive living and dining area on the first floor is a stunning social space. Bedrooms are secluded away in separate wings of the house, so a quiet moment is never more than a closed door away.

Step outside and the town centre is just a couple of minutes away on foot, with an enticing array of independent shops, charming cafes, welcoming pubs and innovative restaurants lining the streets. Southwold's seaside promenade is a little over five minutes from your front door, which is perfect for contemplative moments gazing out to sea. Elsewhere the Common is ideal for walks with four-legged family members, with a footpath leading all the way to Southwold Harbour (just over a mile away) for access to the foot ferry (summer only) over to Walberswick.

Malt Miller

Set just a few minutes’ walk from the beach in Southwold, this gorgeous home is a welcoming base for a family or group of friends looking to explore the beautiful Suffollk coastline. Whitewashed walls and soft coastal tones offer the feel of a calming seaside retreat while large skylights and floor-to-ceiling doors opening up to the garden let an abundance of light into the open-plan living and dining area. Contemporary furnishings with a nod to quintessential English style make each room warm and inviting and plenty of storage provides extra convenience for long stays. There’s plenty to see and do within a short walk or drive from the home including a weekly market, great local pubs, boutiques and fish and chip shops and fun day trips can be spent roaming through the nearby Suffolk Coast and Heath AONB, hopping on the foot ferry to the dunes at Walberswick, venturing further inland for a hike or exploring the diverse surroundings on one of the many cycling paths. 

Light And Air

Once part of a working dairy, this Grade II-listed cottage is now the perfect jumping-off point for exploring Southwold and the Suffolk coast. Boasting original brick floors and 19th-century character, every inch of this home is as warm and cosy as you'd expect. Snuggle up for a film night in the living area, where squishy leather sofas and shelves brimming with well-thumbed books invite you to kick back and relax. The dining table, meanwhile, was made for big family dinners and the charming window seat is an excellent spot for afternoon tea. When the sun is shining, open the French doors and relax in the south-facing garden, which provides a grassy patch for lawn games, tables and chairs for alfresco dining and a barbecue for summer evenings. And, if you need to check in with the office, a separate snug is the ideal place to work from home.

Nestled in the Southwold South Green area, you're only a three-minute walk from the sprawling beach, where dips in the North Sea and sunbathing on the shore are a given. After a stroll along the seafront promenade, pick up supplies from independent butchers, delis and bakeries on the high street – just a short stroll away – followed by a tasting tour at Adnams Brewery, five minutes on foot. 

Milk Bottle Cottage

If you’re looking for a classic British seaside holiday experience, this pastel blue cottage in Southwold should do the trick. It’s right in the heart of the town, with the iconic lighthouse in view, but still retains a sense of calm. Maybe that’s down to the oceanic colour scheme inside, which reminds you that the shore is just a few minutes walk away. There’s a gas fireplace to keep the living room cosy-warm after a day catching the sea air, and a splendid selection of holiday reads on the bookshelves.

Take a wander down the pier, admire the brightly painted beach huts, or go for a swim if the water’s not too chilly (it is the North Sea after all) – this is all just a seven-minute stroll along the seafront away. For the more adventurous, the Suffolk Heaths beckon, with their woodlands, estuaries.
