Charming Character Cottage with pretty gardens. 10 Minutes walk to beach.

Bridget's cottage is a cosy, pet friendly Victorian cottage situated a stone's throw from the marshes and the scenic path along by Buss Creek that leads to North beach and the Pier.

In the Summer the cottage is flooded with light and you can eat outside in the sunny garden from first thing in the morning until the sun disappears. In the Winter you can curl up in front of the cosy wood burning stove.

Opposite this charming cottage there is a village store offering a wide range of fresh produce including artisan bread and meats from a local butcher. Lovers of good food and local beers will find a range of pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance. Situated on Suffolk's Heritage Coast, with endless opportunities for walking, cycling, bird watching and painting, home to RSPBs flagship reserve, Minsmere. You can also explore lovely characterful villages like Walberswick and Dunwich, where you can enjoy the sand dunes, go crabbing and have a picnic or pub lunch by an open fire.

Bridget's Cottage has all you need for a lovely holiday by the sea and is ideal for families, friends and couples to enjoy.

Lovely house near Southwold

We really enjoyed our stay here thanks. The house was great - very clean, spacious kitchen/dining room, comfortable sofas and great location. I don't the advert makes it clear that one of the bedrooms is off another, so you have to walk through it during the night to use the toilet.

Lovely house in great location

Lovely house in great location to explore Southwold (short walk to pier) and surrounding area. Comfy beds with one bedroom (kids room with bunk beds) off master bedroom. House and furniture are beginning to look a bit tired and obvious that previous holiday makers have brought dogs but we had a lovely stay.

Lovely Stay in Reydon

Just spent three days in Reydon and had a lovely time. The property is in a great position, quiet but not far from the middle of Southwold. It is clean and comfortable and pefectly suited our requirements for the stay. Only small quibble would be the lack of an upstairs bathroom but that is more than reflected in the price. Highly recommended.

Well located, cosy and comfortable home.

Everything you need for a holiday in Southwold. A lot of thought has gone into making it a relaxing and comfortable holiday venue. Well equipped kitchen and comfy beds. Very conveniently located for Southwold and wider Suffolk area. The shop across the road is highly recommended. It stocks many good quality, eco friendly and organic goods, including a fantastic selection of fruit and vegetables plus fill-your-own-bottle detergents and shampoos etc. Had a very enjoyable holiday.

A cosy cottage

We had a wonderful time at this cosy cottage. The house is very well equipped. The kids enjoyed the board games and the toys in the garden shed. The little shop just opposite is great and has everything you need. The beach is just a short walk away. Communication with Judy was quick and very helpful. We hope to come back one day.

Nice family holiday

Great week in Southwold. The house had everything we needed and was in a good location. We could easily walk to the beach by the pier or into town. We also loved the beach by the harbour area, which was a short 5 minute drive. The nearest large supermarket is 15 minutes away in Lowestoft, but the small shop opposite the house was very convenient and had a good selection of local products and everything we needed. Thank you.

Weekend in the rain!

Lovely stay despite the rain. Very sweet house, spotlessly clean. Wouldn’t recommend for a group over 4 since the 3rd bedroom is off the main bedroom & the living room would be cramped for 6. Only one bathroom on the ground floor, through the kitchen. In any case, we enjoyed our weekend & recommend a trip to Walberswick.

Lovely house to stay in.

We stayed for a long weekend with our 2 children and family dogs. It was an ideal location to reach various locations for beach walks and to chill. The house its self was great, lovely character, clean and had EVERYTHING you would need. The shop opposite was great too, great range of local produce. The area was lovely and quiet too. We were very sad to leave on Sunday morning, if my husband and i didn't have to work on the Monday we would have contacted the owner to see if we could stay another night or 2! Even our 2 children who have autism and cannot deal with holidays very well absolutely loved it and wanted to stay longer. Thank you for helping us make some lovely memories with our children.

Sweet little cottage in Reydon, Southwold

Sweet little 2 bed cottage in Reydon which is about a 15 -20 minute walk into Southwold. The cottage is nicely appointed, and the beds were super comfortable and bedding and towels provided. A small carton of milk and some basic staples (tea bags, biscuits) were also provided along with some useful things like dishwasher tablets, toilet rolls and kitchen towel. The log burner was an enjoyable edition and the shower extremely effective. The bathroom is downstairs which could be a problem for those less able and the stair case is very steep indeed so again worth bearing in mind if you are less able. We loved Southwold and look forward to visiting again. Do bear in mind that, even in March, it is very busy. We hadn’t booked a restaurant in advance as we thought we would have a mooch and book Saturday lunchtime for that evening but they were all fully booked! Interestingly for such a chic place there are only 2 decent restaurants to choose from, the rest being pubs. Also bear in mind if you go in winter or have walking restrictions, you cannot get a taxi easily. We had thought to go out for dinner and get a taxi back and were told in no uncertain terms that this was unlikely to be possible by both the Swan Hotel and Adnams Brewery. Apparently they all come from Lowestoft so there isn’t a taxi service in town. Just bear that in mind if you don’t fancy the walk at night.

Stay in January

There are plenty of options during this period and much closer to the coast. We are a family of five, living in Peterborough, and wanted a weekend get away with our small kids. It worked out well. The cottage is a ten minute walk to the pier (the pier was closed, it’s site said otherwise) and conveniently across the street from a market. As for the cottage itself: The place is well kept, tidy, courteous and it beach house decor is fitting. We experienced an unpleasant chill throughout our stay. Luckily, keeping a fire going in the front room kept us cozy. Recommend: investing in covering the bottom floor with same weave carpet as stairs and rooms. Runner for kitchen and wooden matt in bathroom. It would help during the chillier months. Side note: No parking. You’ll miss the cottage if you blink. Also, we managed to park an oversized vehicle down the road. We parked and then walked our luggage and belongings back up the road.

A great property for a family of four, especially if you have older teenagers as there are separate bedrooms for the kids and a cosy front room with TV. The grocery shop across the road is really great with friendly staff.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in your lovely cottage, the walks into Southwold are easily done in 15 mins, Southwold itself is great, we had a few great lunches at the Lord Nelson, fish and chips from the little fish and chip shop and coffees in the morning at the Adnams café, we definitely recommend the cottage and location and will certainly re visit in the future.
