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.

Home truths
A cot and high chair can be provided on request, but you'll need to bring your own cot linen
All the bedrooms are set on the first floor and there are various steps throughout, so this may not be a good option for those with limited mobility

There's an on-site shed for storing bikes if you're keen to cycle
You can get around Southwold pretty easily on foot, but we suggest bringing a car if you want to explore further afield – you can park for free on the street

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.
