    Perfect family holiday house (three generations of us) – morning swims, strolls out to buy bread from Two Magpies and lots of beach fun. Fab long lunch at The Suffolk on the terrace, seafood at The Sole Bay Fish Co in Southwold and oysters and pizza at The Anchor in Walberswick. Loved Snape Maltings for coffee and great shopping. We’ll be back!
