About this property
Soak up the tranquil views of the Buss Creek Mashes from this bright and welcoming upside-down coastal home in Suffolk which sleeps up to six guests. Gather with your loved ones in the nautical-themed lounge or relax on the balcony with a bottle of bubbly. Discover the delights of the Edwardian seaside town of Southwold in the daytime or explore further afield in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty where you’ll find expansive beaches and an abundance of nature walking trails.

Lovely upside down house in good location with lovely marsh views. Good facilities for a multi generational stay of 6 people. So useful to have an en-suite shower room, bathroom and cloakroom, especially with young children. We hope to return again, the Southwold area being, for all of us, a special much loved place.
