Napier - Luxury Break

DinaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Lovely accommodation, just like the photos. Very spacious living area with bedrooms off to the sides. All bedrooms are ensuite except for the twin which has an accessible wet room next to it.Lots of storage in bedrooms, wardrobe & 3 chests of drawers and nice new fluffy towels. The bathrooms were quite small, but large walk in showers. Kitchen was very well equipped, plenty of plates, cutlery etc. Sofas were very comfy & plenty of room for everyone. Outdoor space was perfect, big fenced in garden (which our dog loved!), large table and seating , 2 hanging chairs and nice lighting on the deck at night. Directly opposite was a reception area with a sauna and cinema room with games . We used the sauna a couple of times but it was rather complicated figuring out how to use the cinema!! We met Jacob on arrival & he was very friendly and helpful. Location is like a lot of Suffolk, quite remote, so you have to drive down narrow country lanes but easy to find. Very satisfactory, thank you!

Beautiful Holiday Home in Essex

DavidRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Yussuf's Caravan was lovey it was Immaculately clean. I could not find one single thing wrong with the cleanliness of this lovey caravan, and I even looked when i couldn't find anything, I couldn't even notice 1 thing that wasn't impeccably clean. Real attention had been paid to all aspects of our stay here, down to the towels on the beds ready for use. My little boy had even forgotten his teddy bear :( tears a-plenty... but no Yussuf even had that covered three dinosaur teddy bears in one the of the bedrooms that changed a disastrous evening into one of smiles and joy again. Gorgeous caramel coffees waiting for us by the kettle and plenty of tasty biscuits to bring us back to life after a long drive gorgeous tea 2 for that matter. Would recommend to anyone especially if you like a clean well presented reasonably priced place to stay for you and your family. We were picking up a sailing boat from Harwich and the tide was against us so needed somewhere quickly for the night. 10/10 x

Beautiful retreat in converted dairy pets welcome

JemmaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I have absolute nothing but wonderful things to say about our stay. Dairy barn is located in Roger’s beautiful Home Farm. Lush gardens and waking up to birds singing. A lovely fully enclosed paddock for our dog Loki to play tug and ball, with outside seating so we could enjoy a glass of wine. The accommodation is homely, exceptionally well kitted out, clean and inviting. There is a large comfy bed, whirlpool bath, with large separate shower. Comfy sofa and kitchen which is spacious and had everything we needed. The welcome basket and goodies were super generous and gratefully received . Roger is a lovely host, who greeted us on arrival and ensured we had all we needed. At the end of our stay, checked we had a good break. We will definitely be back

Countryside Retreat

ElenaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We stayed here for a friend’s birthday weekend and had the BEST time! The house was even better than the pictures – absolutely massive with a huge garden, plenty of space for everyone, and even a super cool treehouse that added a fun touch. Every room had the perfect amount of bedding, and the beds were really comfy too. Our favourite feature was the speaker on the bathroom mirror! When we had trouble working the TV julie sent someone over straight away to help us. Julie was an amazing host – easily the best we’ve ever had on Airbnb. She responded to all our questions straight away and made everything feel so easy. Couldn’t recommend this place more – we’re already talking about coming back!

Stunning barn conversion

RochelleRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We had the most wonderful relaxing stay at the barn. It’s exceptionally well thought out with everything you could need and much more! Truly one of our best Airbnb stays. Sitting in the hot tub as the sunset was a particular highlight! We did a couple of lovely walks through the surrounding countryside & along the river and had a good lunch at The Sun Inn Dedham. Thank you Melissa, we’ll be back!

The Orchard Cottage

ALISONRating, 5 stars7 months ago
David and Jo were excellent hosts. Every little detail had been carefully thought out, and taken care of. They were extremely kind and thoughtful throughout our stay, and could not have been more helpful. The cottage itself is so charming, and beautifully presented. Quiet and peaceful, a perfect haven to come back to. We will most definitely be back.

Your guide to Southwold

All About Southwold

Southwold is a lovely small town that makes for an ideal beachside holiday. It’s also one of few places in the United Kingdom where traditional beach huts still line the promenade. These huts have made their way into various films and productions over the years, making the colourful little shelters all the more appealing to spot.

Though small, the town has a variety of activities to offer, many of which revolve around its natural beauty. Sports fans can often be found on the award-winning Lowestoft Beach, where volleyball tournaments are a regular occurrence during the summer months. Golfing is a very popular activity here too. Southwold plays host to plenty of wildlife, so top-notch photo opportunities are abundant here. And picnic lovers use balmy summer evenings in Southwold to dine alfresco surrounded by spectacular sunsets. The town’s prominent lighthouse is a symbol of the history of the area, and still guides boats ashore today. It towers over the coastal town at no less than 31 metres tall, which makes it difficult to miss.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Southwold

Spring in Southwold is the season for coastal hikes and seaside strolls, with temperatures remaining balmy until early evening and less chance of rain than other times of year. The summer is ideal for beach lovers, with Southwold experiencing some of the best weather in the country. Things can get a little chilly during winter months — although the temperatures don’t hit freezing — so make sure you bring layers to make the most of your cosy Southwold cottage stay.


Top things to do in Southwold

Southwold Pier

Once used as a landing stage for the steamships arriving from London Bridge, Southwold Pier continues to attract visitors from all over. Though it lost some of its original construction during World War II attacks, the Pier was rebuilt in the early 20th century. Today, the historic pier is home to an amusement arcade and concert hall, along with a range of shops and restaurants.

Southwold Lighthouse

The Southwold Lighthouse, built in 1890, provides guidance to ships in local waters to this day. It’s open to visitors during the summer months and is one the city’s most popular attractions. Come here to explore the history of the lighthouse’s construction and its role in the local community.

Colourful streets

As a port, Southwold was once home to a significant community of fishermen. You can catch a glimpse of where these fishermen lived by taking a stroll through the town centre. Here, you’ll find cute and colourful fishermen’s cottages, many of which continue to be homes for local residents. You can find out more about these unique constructions on a free walking tour of the city which you can pick up from the tourist information center.
