Lying along the northern edge of the picturesque village of Reydon, this delightful cottage makes a lovely holiday hideaway for families, friends and couples exploring this idyllic corner of Suffolk. With space for six guests and a canine companion, the property has been elegantly updated and beautifully furnished to make a cosy retreat for walkers, nature spotters, cyclists and beach lovers. Just a mile from the coast, this peaceful bolthole has been charmingly decorated, with a welcoming wood burner and a large garden, providing a wonderful spot for you all to unwind.

This airy cottage features a spacious open-plan lounge/diner with a handsome wood burner, plush seating, a TV and a dining table with views across the garden.

We loved the cottage. It was perfect for our family Christmas get together. Good location, not too far from Southwold and a handy shop a short distance away.

The Summer House is ideally situated for getting into Southwold (only short drive away) for all the amenities/seafront and plenty of other places of interest to visit not too far. Very handy to have a couple shops for essentials nearby. Lovely, peaceful area to relax in.

Great Location for visiting many of suffolks attractions. Plenty of space for our party of Grandma, Mum and 2 kids (2 and 4 yrs) good safe and enclosed garden for the kids to play in. Local shop just 5mins walk down the road had everything (and more) that you could possibly need. Although only a short distance from Southwold the property is locatedRead more well set back on a non-busy road which made it very peaceful. Hide
