About this property

Charming Cosy Cottage, pretty large garden, 10-15 min walk to beach & Southwold

Sunnyside is a charming cosy pet friendly Victorian cottage with a lovely large south facing garden. It's right on the Suffolk Coastal Footpath which in a 10-15 minute walk, takes you over the beautiful marshes with a stunning view of colourful beach huts, to the beach and Southwold Pier.

It's tucked away location gives it a sense of seclusion, yet also being close to Southwold's bustling High Street and beautiful beaches, it has the best of both worlds. Sunnyside's sunny spacious garden with two patio areas, provides ample room for eating, relaxing and playing and there is plenty of space for parking on the private gated driveway.

In winter, you can hunker down in front of the open fire, with a lovely view of the garden and play a wide selection of the board games or DVDs or watch the SMART TV. The dual aspect kitchen/diner with light flooding Velux windows, provides a super entertaining area and all ages of the family can be accommodated as there's a downstairs bedroom.

Sunnyside is ideal for family groups or friends' get togethers or couples wanting a secluded and comfortable base for relaxing or touring around Suffolk's Heritage Coast which provides endless opportunities for cycling, walking, bird watching and more.

There's a fantastic local shop 5 mins walk away selling a wide range of groceries and fresh produce including locally made bread.

Southwold has a fantastic range of pubs and restaurants and is famous for the Adnams brewery as well as it's independent shops, Pier and it's beautiful beaches and green spaces. You'll also be able to explore the charming villages of Walberswick, Dunwich and Beccles as well as use Sunnyside as a cosy base to visit National Trust and English Heritage attractions like Framlingham Castle, Orford Ness and Sutton Hoo.

Sunnyside provides a delightful retreat at any time of the year for a holiday by the sea.

Great stay

The property was clean and welcoming and close to a footpath to the beach which even the 4 year old could enjoy. The children also loved the garden. The local shop was most useful. We had a lovely week, helped by the most amazing weather.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Simpson

Host profile image
I was very lucky to have spent many idyllic and unforgettable family childhood holidays in Southwold. We took our own children camping here and we knew instantly it was a place we wanted to bring them back to time and time again as well as bringing our own parents here to stay.

With Sunnyside we wanted to create a cosy base from which family, friends and visitors could enjoy and explore the beautiful beaches and town and take happy memories of the area away with them. We like beach walks, cycling, cosy pub lunches and picnics by the sea, building sand castles and crabbing and then curling up in front of our open fire or having a BBQ in the evening sun whilst our kids play in the garden. We hope that you'll enjoy Southwold and Sunnyside as much as we do :-)

Why they chose this property

We love being close to Southwold's shops, pubs and beaches whilst also benefiting from a quieter location and a feeling of space away from the crowds. As a former Adnam's gardener's cottage, we really appreciate the historical connection of Sunnyside with Southwold's famous local beer.

What makes this property unique

Guests regularly comment about our great location, large sunny garden, outdoor eating space and our private parking. Our drive leads directly out onto a Suffolk Coastal Footpath. A 10-15 minute walk along side the marshes is all it takes to the beach, the famous colourful Southwold beach huts and the Pier. We're close to Southwold but away from the crowds and with our large gated driveway, there's ample parking. It's 2 minutes to the friendly village shop, selling locally sourced vegetables and meat and freshly baked artisan bread. Our large south facing garden is fabulous for dogs and allows children (and adults!) ample space to wind down and play after a hard day at the beach, whilst dinner is cooked on the BBQ in the relaxing evening sun.
