Sitting no more than a five-minute walk from the waves of the North Sea, this comfortable apartment has great views of the water and the famous Southwold Pier. Inside, all is calm in the comfortable living space – the plush velvet sofas and creamy tones are a welcome sight after a long day on your feet exploring the coast. A vibrant kitchen makes for lively rounds of tea and toast at the breakfast bar and a tidy courtyard with alfresco dining set is the perfect spot for after-dinner drinks. Grab the beach equipment and head down to the seashore. Visit the pier for quirky arcade games, before finding a sandy spot among the shingle to relax. Or roll up your trousers and go for a paddle – it’s not as brisk as you think.
