About this property
This stylish property is positioned between the heart of Southwold and the seashore, providing families with everything they need for a fun-filled seaside break. Southwold’s upper promenade is within 550 metres, lined with charming beach huts and leading down to the picturesque beach. Alternatively, stroll around the marketplace and visit the pier and working lighthouse. After a long day of exploring, visitors have plenty of cafes, restaurants, and village pubs to choose from, including the famous Adnam's Brewery (within 0.5 miles). Walberswick, a picturesque Georgian village with a sand and shingle beach, can be reached by crossing the river bridge or, during the summer months, by taking a rowing boat across (2 miles). For a slower pace, there are several walks along the river or across the cliff tops, or you can visit rspb Minsmere to see the impressive lagoons and spot some of the UK's rarest wildlife (10.3 miles).
Enter this stunning coastal-themed property through the main entrance hall or via the pretty private garden. The open plan lounge/dining area has relaxed seating, with two comfortable sofas arranged around the Smart TV and Sonos speaker.

Heading up to the first floor, there is a comfortable king-size bedroom with ample storage and the family bathroom with a shower over bath and WC. Take the final flight of stairs to find the other two bedrooms, one with a king-size bed that can be made into a twin on request with plenty of storage space. The third bedroom has bunks beds and is ideal for the kids.
The enclosed private garden is accessible through the kitchen's back door. It is a charming outdoor space with a wooden corner bench and picnic table where you can enjoy your morning coffee, fire up a BBQ or entertain the family alfresco.

We enjoyed our stay in Syke cottage. It is a lovely well maintained house, which is fully equipped. The house is in ideal location for a walk to Beach and town centre.

Lovely place, would stay again, very clean and well equipped. Perfect location, a couple of minutes to the pier and beach and about 10 to the high street. The 3rd bedroom is very tight, definitely only for younger children, wasn’t an issue for us as it was just 3 adults. Lovely stay
