Property code: OC-SL131

Enjoy a relaxed home-from-home holiday in this family-friendly cottage. Located in a quiet residential area close to both town centre and beach, it can accommodate a party of five and their pets, and has a peaceful garden plus great children’s playground on the doorstep.

This traditional redbrick terraced house is ideal for a seaside break, offering homely accommodation with an emphasis on comfort and quality time together. A cosy living room sets the scene for relaxing nights in with wooden floors and sofas before a wood burner. Next door, the open-plan kitchen/diner has a large window overlooking the garden and all the self-catering must-haves, including a Nespresso coffee machine. A shower room completes the ground floor, while upstairs there are three bedrooms: a king-size room with feature period fireplace plus a twin that gives access to the third, single room. A gorgeous rear garden extends your living space. In clear view from the kitchen and with a gate for added peace of mind, it is accessed via a shared pathway at the back of the terrace. Immediately behind the kitchen is a lawn area with a table and chairs while beyond is a sunny patio complete with a BBQ and table and chairs. Cook, dine and let the dogs snooze as you enjoy the sea air!

Southwold is an ideal family destination – there’s so much to enjoy here, you can unpack, park your car and forget about it until going-home time. The pier, promenade and beach are within half a mile of your doorstep – an easy stroll along quiet residential roads – so bring buckets, spades and coins for the slot machines. Alternatively, let the little ones loose at Tibby’s Green playground, just 50m away; once they’ve let off steam you can wander into town, where well-behaved children and pets are welcomed in many of the shops, pubs and eateries. For a real leg-stretcher, walk across the common to the harbour to try your hand at crabbing. You can buy freshly caught fish here, too.

Great place to stay, in a great location and great value! Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again. We were not aware that there was only one toilet downstairs and the owner has made every effort to make it safe, with a hand rail and motion sensor lighting. They even had the heating on and Christmas tree when we arrived, which was loveRead morely (especially as were were visiting for the Christmas light switch on in town that weekend). The place seemed as though it was newly renovated or just very well looked after. Thanks again. Hide

We had a great time staying at Pugwash cottage. The location of the cottage was great being close to the high street and in good close proximity to the beach. Five stars all round!!

A good location near to the beautiful church of St Edmund the Martyr and within very easy reach of both the town centre and seafront. Pugwash Cottage is maintained to a high standard and was immaculately clean. Do be aware that the smallest of the three bedrooms is accessed via the twin room, though this was not a problem for us.

Great location , lovely comfy beds and well equipped - the gate locks could maybe use a bit of WD40! Second visit , probably not our last , wonderful local neighbours too which helps.

A spacious comfortable cottage - though quite pricy. The location is handy for shops and beach but the road itself is very crowded with little parking and quite noisy at times.

Very comfortable beds and sofas. Kitchen very well equipped. Nice to have useful extras like pegs and washing line. Great location for both the town and beach. The only downside was the bathroom with toilet is downstairs, and the stairs are quite narrow and steep.

Well equiped cottage. Very good location, within walking distance of high street, pier and beaches. No toilet upstairs but this wasn't too much of a problem for us.
