Outside the door, you can venture on foot to enjoy the delights of Southwold and the bracing coast where you will find the attractive, bustling fishing harbour and the iconic pier. What joy!Southwold Cottage is found in a quiet little corner of the very scenic town of Southwold. There are few seaside towns quite so quintessentially British as Southwold. With its fine sandy beach and beach hut lined promenade, its refurbished pier and its renowned lighthouse, the town offer a wonderful holiday environment and a welcoming atmosphere.
Southwold lies between Aldeburgh and Lowestoft on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. It is almost an island, being bounded by the North Sea to the East, by the River Blyth and Southwold Harbour to the South West and Buss Creek to the North. There is only one road in and out of the town.
The town is home to the famous Adnams Brewery, a previous winner of The Good Pub Guide’s Brewery of the Year. The brewing rooms are set just behind the High Street adjacent to the town’s iconic lighthouse. You can take a brewery tour throughout the year and can sample the Adnams beers everywhere.
The Southwold Pier is another town focal point. The pier is lined with shops, eateries and amusements. It is a very popular place to be! The working lighthouse is a coastal mark where you can take a tour. It is open subject to weather conditions and is very interesting.
You can take some lovely walks straight from Southwold Cottage. A delightful walk is to cross the River Blyth by foot ferry to Walberswick, crossing back by the footbridge and exploring the trackbed of the old Southwold Railway. This is a gorgeous area where you can enjoy fresh air, good food and wonderful hospitality.
Lowestoft is another fabulous seaside town with much entertainment including the wonderful Somerleyton Hall and Gardens, the East Anglia Transport Museum, Africa Alive, Sparrow’s Nest and Gardens, the Marina Theatre and various other museums.
Aldeburgh is a wonderful escape and is world-renowned thanks to its connection with Benjamin Britten, the founder of the Aldeburgh Festival which takes place every June. It is very pretty with pastel-coloured 19th-century homes lining the promenade and a wonderful pebble beach with fisherman’s huts selling the local daily catch.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
