Property code: OC-SPE

Recently modernised, this traditional chocolate-box Southwold cottage makes the ultimate base for families or two couples and their canine friend. Play fetch along the sands of Southwold or grab fish and chips and stroll the promenade for a relaxing getaway on the Suffolk coast.

Open the front door of this gorgeous pastel-coloured cottage and be delighted by the seaside decor that invites you to batten down the hatches and escape the rat race. With picturesque views of the sea, the lounge/diner has a six-seater dining table and two comfy sofas to help you unwind, with plenty of space for floor cuddles with the pooch. After a day of exploration, snuggle together in front of the TV and let the hound snooze at your feet. A door from the living space leads through to a modern galley kitchen where light presents itself from every direction. Sit yourself down in one of the two reclining leather armchairs and enjoy a glass of red, or stroke the pup while you rest in peace and quiet. When it’s time to let sleeping dogs lie, say goodnight to your canine companion and head up the cottage-style stairs to the two bedrooms. One king-size with an en-suite shower room and one double with an en-suite bathroom are perfect for hitting the hay. Outside, you can enjoy your morning cup of tea in the courtyard, while your four-legged friend stretches their legs.

Based within the centre of town, this property is within easy reach of restaurants, pubs and the colourful promenade of Southwold, which backs onto an all-year-round dog-friendly beach. Stroll miles and miles of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where your canine companion will adore chasing their tail along the woodland. Seek out rare plants and spot unique wildlife that inhabits this special part of the Suffolk coast.

Excellent location. Sea view. Off the main road. Suitable for two couples. Co op and Tesco very close. Lots of independent shops all in walking distance. Lovely to have the beach so so close.

A little short of kitchen utensils, and the description of the "small" garden is somewhat misleading. No instructions as to whether we are expected to put the bins out on a certain day. Lovely position, close to all facilities and the beach. Very quiet. Plenty of hot water for showers and the heating is efficient.

Speedwell is a good sized, well equipped cottage very close to the seafront and local pubs and restaurants. Great for walks on the beach and the surrounding area. Can't think of anything we needed which wasn't provided. Would definitely recommend it.

We found Speedwell just perfect, with the Parking which is so important factor in Southwold, the location perfect for the beach and shops and the cottage itself, delightful. we certainly will take advantage and make a further booking after Christmas.

Good house we will probably book again. While the en-suite in front bedroom is poor it is not bad enough to prevent us re booking.

For the most part the standard of the property was very good but the unpleasant smell in the small en suite, which many other guests have commented on, was quite frankly unacceptable. We would not book this property again.
