    “Sailors Rest is a lovely house in a lovely position, but has some maintenance issues.”

    Southwold is very pretty but is in need of some regular shops. Luckily I ordered an online Sainsbury’s grocery delivery, and would recommend that future guests consider this option too. Food shops are very limited, and the coffee shops, and cafes are very expensive. We enjoyed a nice break with regular walks to the beach and the weather was kind. Parking on the property was a big bonus. The area was very busy at the weekend, as it’s a popular tourist destination .

About the location

SOUTHWOLD

Lowestoft 13.4 miles; Ipswich 35.1 miles

Southwold is a seaside town situated along the East Suffolk coast within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and resting between Lowestoft and Ipswich. Southwold is known as the home of Adnams Brewery which was established in the town in 1872 and it also has its own lighthouse, a museum and a picturesque pier which has a selection of colourful beach huts and which plays host to the regular Southwold Model Yacht regatta. The town boasts a number of excellent restaurants and eateries with a particular nod to its seaside location so there is always plenty of seafood and fish on the menu. Southwold has some fantastic independent shops, boutiques, galleries and pubs which are great for a browse and to stock up on essentials for your holiday. Just outside Southwold there are a number of great attractions for the whole family including Africa Alive Zoological Reserve, RSPB Minsmere and Dunwich Museum as well as scenic towns such as Aldeburgh, Thorpeness, Leiston and Lowestoft to visit.
