  • "It was a warm comfortable house with beautiful sea-themed decorations."

    The location was fab - just a street away from the sea and Southwold Pier. We lived in Norfolk from 1990 till 2019 and often visited Southwold, so we had plenty of old friends and old haunts to visit. We'd like to recommend Kessingland Africa Alive - such lovely animals and a beautiful setting. The weather was good too.

  • "Great location, lovely property would certainly stay again."

    Water pressure was an issue although I believe this is now in hand. TV a bit temperamental but generally a fine place to spend a week or two!

  • "Lovely house, really well equipped and easy to live in."

    Only complaint was that we couldn’t access the WIFI as the code was wrong, We mentioned this several times but nothing was done to sort this out.

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.
