This romantic space is a perfect home-from-home for two – an exquisitely refurbished Victorian cottage situated in the heart of Southwold. Think craft shops, galleries, independent boutiques, and plenty of pubs to choose from, all right on the sea. The Adnams brewery offers brilliant tours, and its well-stocked shop is full of treats you'll find hard to resist. There's a secret gorse-filled footpath that will take you the back way to Walberswick, and the pretty estuary is a great place to spot seals. After a day spent on the beach, make the five-minute walk back home to your luxurious getaway. Sprawl out on the velvet couch and take a breather before preparing a delicious dinner in the fully-equipped kitchen, best enjoyed at the window-side dining table. Finish off the day with a soak in the roll-top tub before getting comfortable in the hotel robes and streaming a movie in bed, glass of local Adnams wine in hand.

About Southwold
Visiting Southwold as a child is an experience you’ll never forget, and you’re unlikely to as an adult either. The pier, with its traditional pavilion, might look like any other late-Victorian pier from the outside, but it’s a must-visit in this seaside town.
