It's hard to beat a stay in a traditional cottage, especially when you're just a short walk from the water. This cosy home is the perfect choice for a coastal retreat where you'll experience rural life in a historic fishing village and unwind in a homely and welcoming space with sea views from each bedroom. When you're not exploring the quaint pubs and shops in Walberswick and taking part in the annual crabbing competition, you’ll be yomping through the unspoilt woods and wetlands of RSPB Minsmere Nature Reserve or frolicking on The Denes Beach, both a twenty-minute drive away. Inside the abode, the bright conservatory is the perfect place to entertain family and friends, while the cosy living room with wood-burning stove is ideal for those chillier days. When the sun is shining, spill out through the patio for picnics on the lawn and if you’re in need of some serious relaxation, what better place to unwind than the private sauna in the garden’s summerhouse.

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. What makes Southwold Pier different is its arcade of humorous, quirky, coin-operated machines. Created by the inventor Tim Hunkin, they feature a range of eccentric – and...
