About this property

Gazing out across the dunes of Southwold, Suffolk, Harbour Lights is a seaside retreat, newly refurbished and perfect for groups of friends or families. Park off-road in the ample spaces provided and even use the EV port provided and take in the spectacular seaside views this property has to offer. Be welcomed into the sitting room, where you can warm your feet beside the woodburning stove and catch up on some reading, or when the weather is warmer, open the glass doors and let in the sea air, giving you easy access to the garden where dining alfresco is a must. When mealtimes call, the contemporary kitchen, outfitted with green cupboards and stylish furniture, open-plan and connecting to the sitting and dining area through an archway, this is the perfect spot to cook together, as well as a social hub for all guests to enjoy. A handy utility takes care of your sandy clothes as you get cosy for the night in one of the four bedrooms, including two super-king-sizes and two twins, and each one is tastefully decorated. Climb over the dunes, hearing the swish of the grasses and the crashing of the waves as you enjoy a stroll along the shore of Southwold, maybe even trying out watersports or daring to wild swim. When in need of a hot meal, travel over to Southwold town centre, where a variety of cafes, pubs and restaurants welcome you to try local produce, and there is a selection of independent shops to explore. For more walks, head over to the seaside town of Aldeburgh, where there is also a museum, and if it is history that you love, there is no shortage of castles in Suffolk, including Framlingham and Orford Castle. Fall in love with the seaside of Suffolk with a stay at Harbour Lights.

Southwold is a seaside town situated along the East Suffolk coast within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and resting between Lowestoft and Ipswich.

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.
