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.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.

Thank you Elizabeth and Torben for a fantastic weekend at Sunnyside. The house is beautifully furnished, and has everything you could need including games, Netflix, wi-fi, radio, cooking utensils, utility area, boot rack, dishwasher tablets and lots more. It is warm, quiet and cozy, with loads of parking space. We had a lovely open fire in the evenings (kindling provided and wood from the local store) and slept wonderfully in the comfy beds. The big fluffy bath towels were a bonus, as were the hand-soap, washing up liquid and loo rolls! We had a bottle of prosecco, some Southwold fudge and crisps, with a lovely welcome note on arrival. Perfect location literally on a footpath across the marshes to the beach. We had a wonderfully chilled weekend. Thank you so much for the early check-in and late check out, so very much appreciated.

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.

Lovely cottage and lovely location - would recommend!
Cottage was a high standard, very clean and comfortable, helpful info about local amenities and places to visit, and well equipped for both self-catering and entertaining with lots of games plus kids activities available in the shed. Large garden was great for our sporty son to use up some energy. Owner was friendly and helpful with good communication. Location was great - just a short walk from Southwold seafront and the town of Southwold. It's a lovely part of the country with other lovely villages and beaches nearby. Plus Norwich for shopping (useful distraction for grumpy teenage daughter ;)) Would certainly recommend the cottage and the area.

Well equipped house / walkable to the beach
Nice amount of room for 4 adults and 1 child. Well equipped kitchen, board games, books, beach stuff. We enjoyed the garden (you can hear the traffic from a main road but it is also slightly set back) we enjoyed the short peaceful walk to the beach .. yes it’s a little over grown with nettles in places but that didn’t deter us. Great communication with owners and would def stay again / highly recommend!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at Sunnyside. The cottage is so homely and spacious. We found the location perfect for accessing Southwold and surroundings. The kids and dog loved the big garden and we enjoyed sitting on the sunny terrace.

Sweet cottage
Great place to visit suffolk very easy to get to places from and lovely walk to Southwold. Only four stars for cleaning as could have been a little cleaner in bathroom on arrival and my elderly parents found the two single beds uncomfortable. However the rest of the cottage was lovely. If you have little dogs be aware the chicken wire attached to gate has a gap in and my Cockapoo managed to get under it and followed me out the gate. There is a main road to the side of cottage so could be a problem. Thank you for a lovely weekend stay much appreciated

Nice Cottage but looking tired inside and out.
The cottage is well situated for the town, and walks to the sea. On arrival the garden is secure for the dogs to be let loose to play in a fair size garden. The grass needed cutting and the whole outside of the property needs tidying up. The cottage inside has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. Again we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the cottage. We had to wash some mugs and wipe down. The kitchen floor needed hoovering, to do this I had to de-bung the hoover as it was full of hairs and fluff. How anybody had used it before beggars believe. The inside of the oven was very dirty, as was the window blinds. The cottage needs a good deep clean, and refresh. We are not fussy people, just expected a clean cottage.

Thank you for such a lovely stay, we booked last minute, and the hosts were perfect, very sccomodating, advised of local weather difficulties, the cottage was lovely, very warm and cosy. Everything was thought of. We took our dogs, garden large and secure, lots of fun stuff to do with our children- both indoors and outside. Lovely walks down to the beach, both countryside & through Southwold. Lovely chippy in Southwold. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Handy for getting around
Well placed for walking to Southwold and Walberswick or driving around Suffolk. Close to local amenities and excellent restaurants. The garden is generous with plenty of furniture and lots of lavender. The cottage would benefit from a review of its contents such as the two frying pans and the rather worn bed linen with missing buttons. The two dishwasher tablets and half toilet roll made a statement. Generally well equipped regarding appliances, crockery etc. The holiday was very enjoyable and we would visit again.
