About this property
Enjoy a relaxing family holiday at this charming two-storey cottage in the heart of Southwold, one of the most popular seaside towns in the Suffolk Coast & Heaths aonb. The perfect base for walkers, naturalists and beach lovers, the cottage features stylish living areas, versatile bedrooms and a beautiful landscaped garden.
This two-storey cottage is located on a quiet side street within sight of the coast; it enjoys a practical layout and a comforting ambience thanks to the natural light that pours onto contemporary soft furnishings through large windows and doors throughout. Cosy up in the lounge with a book or film, or slip into the dining room for brunches and lunches after working your magic in the sleek kitchen nearby. If anyone needs to be cleaned up after a day at the beach, send them to the shower room or the utility cupboard and they’ll be as good as new in no time. When you and yours can’t put bedtimes off any longer, retreat to the warm and welcoming king-size, twin or single bedrooms, all of which share a family bathroom that is a go-to for rejuvenating soaks. The landscaped garden at the rear of the cottage is surrounded by attractive shrubs and a Pleached Holm Cok. It is your own private oasis, a safe place for the children to play as you relax with a glass of fizz or tend to the BBQ as the sun sets on a day well spent.
It’s almost a hop, skip and jump to Southwold’s vast beach, a hut-lined stretch of sand and shingle split by its iconic pier. The town centre is brimming with shops, pubs and restaurants selling and serving local fare, and is crisscrossed by coastal and inland footpaths and trails that showcase the area’s rich array of wildlife.

Mariner’s Cottage is perfectly situated within Southwold. Plenty of space for a family of four, with decor that immediately gives one the sense of having a home away from home. Looking forward to coming back!

This is an excellent choice for a family let. Southwold is a lovely place to come, full of charm and with great amenities, even if after a couple of days you feel they should re-name it 'Adnamsville'. Location of this property couldn't be better -- a few minutes' walk from the beach and the shops. Though in the town centre it's not at all noisy (except for the seagulls, of course). Having two bathrooms is a bonus, and there's an outside shower as well for sandy feet. The kitchen is well equipped -- one of the best we've encountered in many years of holiday cottages. Nice lounge with large screen TV and Wi-Fi worked fine. Decor is a bit bland but if you're not looking for 'period' charm it's light and comfortable, which is all we wanted. The only downside to this property is the parking. The space is inside the property -- taking up nearly half the back yard -- and is awkward to manoeuvre into and out of. Access is via a sliding gate and once you're in there's very little room. We have a VW Passat estate and it barely fitted -- we couldn't open the boot once the gate was closed. If you have anything bigger this would be a real issue and should be signalled in the details. One more point about the seagulls. They really are a feature, and occasionally a nuisance. If their raucous presence bothers you, then think again; and the outside dining table and chairs, and the car, occasionally got spattered. Such are the hazards of seaside holidays. We had a great time notwithstanding!
