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.

Great little find.

Bridget’s cottage was perfect for our needs. Ideally positioned with a shop just opposite stocking a wide range of delicious food and other essentials and just a few minutes drive from the centre of Southwold. The cottage was very clean and welcoming and we very much enjoyed our stay.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Well equipped for a family. Short walk through the fields or via Southwold to the beach. Area is lovely and local shop, although pricey, has all your emergency needs and lots of tasty treats. Hosts were great and very accommodating.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Lovely September Stay

Very good cottage in excellent location. Safe and with a homely feel. Layout is excellent and all the information is clear. Lock up and leave with no concerns regarding security. Lots to see and do. Would recommend Walberswick, and a day at Bundle Broad and Claremont Pier - especially of you have kids. Southwold is very pleasant and has charm. It is expensive, but the Tesco and Co-op charge 'normal' prices. The cottage's sleeping and cooking facilities are very good. Faultless really, bar an internal bolt on the back gate ..but that's being really picky. Hope you enjoy it!

Relaxing

A quaint and beautifully decorated 3 bed property within easy walking distance to Southwold beach and Pier. The owners have given great thought and attention to what holidays mean to folk's and have done everything to make the stay as enjoyable as possible. Books, games and beach equipment to suit all ages. A truely lovely cottage. Our only concern was the air conditioning unit at the supermarket opposite and the constant hum you could hear from the front bedroom. Thankfully, this disappeared from around 7pm each evening, giving way to a perfect nights sleep.

Compact but well laid out.

Surprisingly spacious due to the owners utilising the space well. Stairs were a bit steep but did not pose any problems to the children. Enjoyed the stay and the walk along the road into the heart of Southwold took around 15 minutes. Only small gripes were having to take bath towels with us and there being no dishwasher tablets. Overall, we were happy with the accommodation.
