"One of the nicest places we have had the pleasure of staying in Southwold" - Philip Davies


Enjoying a fabulous hillside position along the southern fringe of Southwold, this stunningly updated cottage has been stylishly furnished and tastefully decorated, making a wonderful holiday retreat for larger families and groups of friends. Set at the foot of Skillman’s Hill, the property is ideally situated close to the more secluded end of the town’s beautiful sandy beach. Offering elegant accommodation for up to eight guests, this spacious retreat is a fantastic base for walkers, nature spotters and beach fans seeking an idyllic getaway in a glorious part of Suffolk.


The cottage features a relaxing and spacious double-size lounge with central folding doors allowing you to divide the room into separate areas so everyone can relax in comfort. The ground floor also features a large open-plan kitchen/diner making a great space for cooking and enjoying a family feast. Heading upstairs you will find a cheerful bathroom and four beautiful bedrooms: one super-king-size, one twin room with a TV, a king-size room and a children’s room with bunk beds. There are also two invigorating shower rooms, one on each floor. Stepping outside, the charming courtyard garden has a handy picnic table and bench seating providing a lovely spot for dining alfresco on a sunny summer’s day.


Within easy reach of the River Blyth, the cottage is just 500 metres from the beach and the site of the historic Southwold Cannons. The centre of town is less than half a mile north, with an array of great pubs, restaurants, cafes, shops and galleries. Southwold is home to a range of popular attractions including a lighthouse, a golf course, a model boat pond, the Electric Picture Palace and the Southwold Maize Maze. Also nearby are RSPB Minsmere, Leiston Abbey, Camel Park Oasis and Henstead Exotic Gardens, all within 15 miles.
