Just two miles from pretty Covehithe Beach, this family-size home has period charm, a cosy feel and plenty of space – both indoors and out. Extended to the rear and into the attic, it comes with a big living room with a bay window to the front and an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space on the ground floor. 

With a log burner for winter stays and a lovely patio for summer breaks, it's got everything you could need. The three bedrooms are split across the top two floors, along with a Victorian-inspired bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, and we just love the iron bed in the main bedroom.

But this home has a little surprise at the bottom of the lawned garden too – a 'disco shed' complete with a big TV, leather sofa and handmade bar. Settle down on one of the bar stools and sip a cocktail as you choose a film to screen.

Close to the coast, there's lots to see and do a short drive from your door, from exploring Benacre National Nature Reserve on foot to eating out at one of Southwold's many excellent eateries.

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.

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.

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.

The Modern Granary

Barbeque

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.

For a seaside escape filled with comfort and charm, look no further. This delightful apartment can be found on Southwold’s bustling High Street, right at the heart of the lovely Edwardian town. 

The apartment is filled with light, making it a bright and welcoming place to call home. You’ll find nods to the nautical in every pocket of this home – and the beach is just a twelve-minute walk away. Pack your bucket and spade and spend the day on the sand, paddling in the sea, or exploring the pier. 

When everyone is sun-kissed, sandy and sleepy, head back to the apartment for a quiet night in. Set the little ones up in the snug watching movies while you open a bottle of wine and relax in the living room. 

In the morning, go for a peaceful stroll along the beachside promenade. The apartment is the perfect coastal hideaway, with easy access to the beach and pier, as well as the heathlands of this part of Suffolk. You’ll want to return time and again.

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

Set in the heart of Southwold, this cute-as-a-button cottage was built by French Huguenots in the 17th century. And while some original features remain, namely the inglenook fireplace and shipyard reclaimed beams, the home has been lovingly renovated to bring it right up to the minute. Breakfast is to be taken in the vibrant courtyard, with produce from the nearby greengrocers and family-run butchers. Pack a picnic and slap on your sun cream – the sand and shingle of Denes Beach await. A ten-minute stroll places you right on the seafront, where bracing swims are optional but soft serve ice cream is compulsory. Return home with a steaming bag of fish and chips or nip to the pub, just two minutes from your doorstep, for some proper grub and a well-deserved gin and tonic. 

Sea Heather 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

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

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.

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

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.

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

In the heart of Southwold, this family-friendly pad is all about rest, relaxation and proximity to the beach. We love how bright each room is, with skylights and patio doors letting in the rays all day. Feel like cooking? The mint green kitchen has everything you'll need to rustle up a meal, which you can tuck into around the eight-seater dining table with a bottle of bubbly at the ready. Even better is the patio, where blossoming flowers and blue skies beckon. Enjoy sun-kissed breakfasts and alfresco cocktail hours in the salt-tinged air, then head inside for a laid-back movie night in front of the fire.

What makes this home really shine is the fantastic location. You're just a ten-minute walk from Southwold's sprawling beach – if it were up to us, we'd spend every moment lounging on the sand and swimming in the ocean waves. Restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops are on your doorstep, with many other hotspots within easy reach – including Southwold's famous pier and lighthouse, as well as ferries to the picturesque village of Walberswick. 

Those Sunny Hours

We're not just looking at one home here, but two. Sat next door to each other in a quiet corner of Southwold, the pair of properties offers guests a bit of flexibility when it comes to sleeping arrangements and privacy. Both have been finished to the same high standard, with tufted furnishings, wooden floors and large kitchens in charming mint or royal blue adding a touch of regality to your stay. The bathrooms, too, are as chic as they come thanks to the slick brick-style tiling and there are also wood-burners in each so you can be assured that you'll always be toasty, whatever the weather outside. If you're looking for excursions that'll leave you in need of a seat by the fire afterwards, you're not short of options. The Denes Beach is only five minutes walk away, while the town's pier takes just over ten to reach.

Scampi & Chips

This modern home fifteen minutes from the Southwold seaside has all the charm you'd want from a holiday home in Suffolk. Pastel blues and white reference the coastline in the living room, showy wallpaper adds character in the bedrooms, while the sun-room is ideal for that morning coffee. We particularly love the counter island in the kitchen, sleek and editorial. Pets are welcome to come along for the ride, and they're bound to enjoy the contained garden and hardwood flooring. Leaving the house, you'll find small shops and a pub in Reydon village, and further afield you can swim in the sea, walk the Suffolk Coast, or stroll past the colourful beach huts of the Southwold promenade. Come explore the Suffolk coast, and get comfortable in a home tailor-made for coastal getaways.

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.

Between cosy nights by the fire and days spent lounging on Southwold beach, this cottage is an excellent way to explore the Suffolk coast at any time of the year. The house has an open-plan kitchen-living-dining area, so sociable evenings with friends or family are a guarantee – and the kitchen has everything you’ll need to cook for the group. Upstairs, the cosy bedrooms, two of which are king-sized, are perfect for crashing out after a day spent walking the nearby nature reserves. Southwold village is less than five minutes away on foot – here you can peer into independent boutiques, stock up at the deli or indulge your inner beer connoisseur at Adnams Brewery. On sunny days, nab a perch on Southwold beach and wander over to the iconic pier. The neighbouring villages and towns are also excellent day trips – Walberswick to the south is excellent for fish and chips while further down, Thorpeness has a Peter Pan-inspired boating lake.

Eggshell Blue

Wake up to the sound of seagulls and the sight of Southwold's famous white lighthouse. This seaside apartment is airy and bright, courtesy of the big bay window in the living room. Enjoy breakfast perched up at the modern kitchen island, before heading out to explore the town and beach. Both children and adults will enjoy the Victorian Pier, complete with a unique array of artist-made arcade games and simulator rides at the Under The Pier Show. Grab an ice cream and spend the day on the sand – we recommend walking to the southern end of the beach, where the quiet dunes provide wonderful picnicking spots. Or, head back home to your own picnicking spot in the shared garden where lavender blooms in wooden planters and a bistro set is ready for you in the sun.

North Sea Waves

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).

With plenty of space for the whole family as well as your four-legged friend, this Victorian-period property in the seaside town of Southwold feels just like home, but with bells on. We love the light-filled, farmhouse-style kitchen as well as the cosy sitting room – perfect for unwinding after a day chasing the waves. There's also a beautiful snug – ideal for quiet time with a good book or for those needing to catch up on a little work – not to mention a gorgeous garden. You’ll find this home has something for everyone. 

And then of course there's the summer house, barbecue and ping-pong table it’s got hiding up its sleeve. In the warmer months, you’ll love soaking up the rays in the summer house, taking tea in the garden and dining alfresco en famille, while at chillier times of year nothing could be toastier than putting your feet up in front of the wood-burning stove. 

Nestled at the heart of Southwold, only a five-minute walk from both the hustle and bustle of the high street and the sandy shores of the beach, you’ll be well placed to explore all that this charming coastal town has to offer on foot. Mooch around the marketplace, get in on some fish and chips or wander down to the harbour, before passing by the pier and the pastel-coloured beach huts. Whatever you do, don’t forget to look in on the lighthouse.


Blow Away the Cobwebs

The Suffolk coast's iconic beach huts have inspired this wooden-clad home, which puts a luxury spin on the seaside. Sat in rolling green gardens, the house has front patios and a top-floor balcony for catching some rays or watching the North Sea roll in from across the fields. If the lure of a swim is too hard to resist, it's a short three-minute walk to Walberswick beach, where sun, sea, and sand rule supreme. Interiors follow a beautifully incorporated monochrome colour scheme: a well-stocked kitchen is painted black, while upstairs bedrooms are flooded with light from the sliding doors and white walls. The large garden is great for letting your imagination run wild, where lawn games and picnics are perfect. We love noisy dinners in the separate dining room, but if the pub is on the cards, classic boozer Anchor is stumbling distance from the home.

Monochrome Dreams

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. 

In the Navy

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

Nintendo Wii

Southwold came of age as a holiday resort in the Victorian era, and this beautiful townhouse, set just five minutes from the beach, oozes that same elegance and sophistication in the form of a relaxing seaside getaway. The fresh interior with ornate touches and modern traditional furnishings give the home a refined, classical feel while wooden flooring and a contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen (complete with a Rangemaster cooker) offer a nod to the English countryside. The roomy lounge with a wood burner can be separated or left open offering versatile options for socialising, and the tasteful bedrooms and master bathroom with a roll-top bath provide the perfect spaces to sneak off to after a long day. You’ll be just minutes from 

Southwold’s fantastic beach, pier and colourful huts offer guests the perfect opportunity for blissful days of sun, sand, and sea, while a short walk from home will bring you to marketplaces and greengrocers where you can pick up fantastic local produce. There’s plenty more on offer for the whole family whether it be browsing the local shops, a pub lunch, tasting the freshly caught seafood or hopping on the foot ferry in the summertime to visit the unspoilt dunes of Walberswick. This is a place that deserves to be explored, and with a plethora of walking trails, beaches, nearby villages and cities, there is bound to be something to fill every day with happy memories. 

Victorian Grandeur

This pretty apartment is the perfect base for a seaside stay in Southwold. It’s a ground-floor home in a prime location – just a five-minute walk to the pier and beach, and ten minutes to the High Street. Soak up the atmosphere of this lovely seaside town by day, and relax in this cosy home from home in the evenings. 

The sun streams through the large bay windows, making the apartment bright and airy. There’s a soft colour palette of calming shades, with a nod to the seaside setting here and there. Before you head out for the day, make yourself a cappuccino – the fully kitted-out kitchen here even has a milk frother. 

Spend your day sunbathing on the beach, indulging in the nostalgia of Southwold’s iconic pier, and promenading past painted beach huts and colourful flowerbeds before strolling home for supper. Perhaps you’ll pick up fish and chips to tuck into once you’re home. 

There are handy grocers and independent food shops nearby to supplement the welcome pack provided by the host, which is filled with locally sourced snacks and Fairtrade goodies. When you’ve had your fill of the beach, pack up a picnic and set out to explore the marshes and the footpaths of the beautiful Suffolk countryside. 


Cora

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 

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.

The ironic thing about trying to choose somewhere to stay in a location like Southwold is the strong likelihood that you'll be spending the bulk of your time outside exploring the natural riches of the Suffolk coastline. However, this marvellous address offers plenty of incentives to hunker down at home.

When the weather's on your side, you'll want to make full use of the charming outdoor space, which has its alfresco dining table and barbecue for outdoor banquets, as well as the summer house complete with a games room to keep youngsters – as well as not-so-youngsters – entertained.

There's plenty to like in the main house, too. The large glass doors and windows flood the interior with natural light and this dances pleasingly off the smart parquet flooring. We like that the design is pared-back but doesn't look neglected in any way – in fact, the white walls, sleek kitchen surfaces and equally glossy bathrooms all score high on the style stakes.

As mentioned at the start, there's a wealth of spots to explore in the local area. First and foremost is Southwold Beach and Pier, which both take under ten minutes to reach on foot. There are nature reserves and walking routes to discover in the surrounding Suffolk Coasts & Heath AONB, as well as the Southwold Maize Maze only five minutes' drive away.

Sunday Best

Just a couple of minutes' walk from sandy Southwold beach, this home sits right in the heart of a classically charming seaside town. You'll be just a short stroll from the eclectic array of shops, restaurants and pubs the town has to offer, and a visit to the local Adnams Brewery promises a great afternoon activity. 

When it comes to keeping yourselves entertained, your options are endless – treat the family to fish and chips on the famous pier, take a spin on the little boating lake or paddle in the shallows. A little further afield, you can walk or cycle paths along the coastline and through the heathland to Walberswick, Dunwich and beyond. 

Back home, challenge your family to a game of table football in one of the two living rooms, take in the sea views from the top two floors or sit outside on the table and chairs in the paved garden. And when it’s time to call it a night, beautifully furnished bedrooms guarantee a deep, peaceful sleep. 

Blue Lines

Cosy, central and comfortable, this cottage is the ideal stay for a family or group of friends looking to holiday in Southwold. With its mix of original red brick features and modern comforts, it promises a lovely and relaxed base in the heart of town. Fix meals in the sparkling kitchen to enjoy at the family-sized wooden table, bring morning coffees outside to the little courtyard and drink wine around the blazing wood burner in the evenings. Then gather around for a game night before getting snug under floral sheets at the end of the day. The first bedroom features a view of Bartholomew Green and St Edmunds Church, just a minutes’ walk from home. You’ll be less than a five minutes’ walk from the town’s pubs, restaurants and fish & chip shops. Plus, the sandy beach is just a nine-minute walk from home along the upper promenade. During the summer, a nearby footpath can take you down to the harbour to catch the foot ferry to Walberswick.

National Velvet 

Found across an adorable footbridge, this home mixes unique design features with modern comforts. The open-plan dining area is ideal for a gathering of friends or family, and the sleek kitchen suits a chef who wants to socialise as they cook for their loved ones. Downstairs, doors lead out onto the patio, which is perfect for alfresco dining and drinks. The wide windows on the ground floor also show off views of the outside greenery. Let the resident cook have a break and grab the catch of the day from a nearby fish and chips takeaway. 

Southwold town and its sandy beaches are just a two-minute walk away, so you'll have the coast to explore and the sea right on your doorstep. On sunny days, head to the historic pier and crazy golf course, and cool off at Adnams Brewery, an eight-minute stroll away with a tour and tastings (a siesta back in the home is highly recommended after this). You can also explore this region of Suffolk by boat - hop on the ferry to pretty Walberswick village – a fifteen-minute drive away, or hire a boat and take in that salty sea air.

Young & Beautiful 

Gorgeous beaches, the iconic Southwold Pier, and Instagram-worthy beach huts are all just a two-minute walk from this seaside bungalow. When you're not sunbathing on the golden sands, the house is a short stroll from independent shops, a brewery, and plenty of fish and chips. 

Walkers can explore the myriad of routes in the region, starting from the front door and leading through birdlife-rich marshland, along the coast, or to one of the neighbouring small villages. In the summer, a ferry runs to Walberswick, where kids can join in with crabbing, while golfers should try a round at the nearby club, a four-minute drive away.

For nights in, there's a modern, newly refurbished kitchen for cooking up a seafood feast, which can then be enjoyed on the patio at sunset or in the separate dining room. On sunny days, if you don't fancy going to the beach, bask in the sun on the lawn in the lovely sheltered garden. This home is perfect for a family or group of friends wanting to be a stone's throw from the sea.


Stone Circle

Tucked away in the coveted area of Trinity Street in the serene seaside town of Southwold, this charming holiday cottage makes a great base for those who want to explore Suffolk's stunning coastline, as well as those who want to have adventures inland in the region's green and leafy countryside. Although the home isn't the most glitzy or modern, it's got a homely charm that makes it feel warm and welcoming, and you'll have a little private patio for enjoying the sunshine in the warmer months.


The Southwold Cottage

perfect base to enjoy the Suffolk coastline. Take a five minute walk to the pier, shops and chippies of Southwold’s promenade or grab an ice cream from the fantastic shop across the road – if you don't have an ice cream in hand, you're not doing Southwold right. Or spend the day on Southwold Beach, also a five-minute stroll, while a nearby footpath takes you down to the harbour (around a twenty-minute walk), where you can get a foot ferry to Walberswick. Later, relax in the enclosed outdoor courtyard, back at this lovely home. We love the pretty shutters and the shelves full of books here. For the autumn and winter months there are three wood-burning stoves, while two separate reception rooms with sofas and TVs will ensure there’s no squabbling over what movie to watch. It’s a great spot for a family party or festive trip, especially for those who love to cook thanks to its Rangemaster with two ovens. So, why not cook up a feast with some local Suffolk produce for your loved ones.

Mine's A Triple Scoop

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.
