Cosy Nook is a charming, bright and spacious holiday home located in one of the best positions in Southwold, overlooked by the famous lighthouse. It offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience, just a stone's throw from the beach, iconic pier, and charming High Street. An ideal spot for a seaside holiday or a short break with family and friends, and not forgetting the dog.

The space

This unique and interesting double fronted house is unusual in that it was built as recently as 1990 by renowned local builders Duncan & Son. It mirrors the style of similar Victorian houses in the street in as much as it offers well-proportioned light rooms with high ceilings and bay windows to the front.

The lounge, dining room and all bedrooms have a contemporary seaside style, modern amenities, good wifi with comfortable furnishings and a light wood parquet floor.

As you step inside, a door on the right leads into the spacious, light and airy open plan kitchen / diner. Table and chairs are set in front of the bay window, should you wish to dine in during your stay.
Fully equipped shaker style kitchen with an induction hob and oven, microwave, integrated dishwasher, full size fridge / freezer, washing machine, toaster and kettle.
Door off the kitchen leads into the garden.

Downstairs shower room with walk in shower, WC, hand basin and heated towel rail.

Doors from the kitchen / diner lead into the lounge. Bay windows to the front, and double glazed doors out to the garden at the back, make this a lovely bright room. The lounge has ample seating with a large leather six person sofa, a two seater cuddle chair, and pouffe where you can unwind with a book or a glass of your favourite tipple in front of the Smart TV, or watch a movie on the Cinema 3D Sound Blu-ray home cinema system. For family fun, you'll find a selection of classic board games to enjoy during your stay.

To the rear is a spacious enclosed courtyard garden with 6 seater dining table and chairs and planted with bamboo. This is an ideal private place to dine al fresco with friends and family, or just relax and soak up the sun. The storage seat in the garden holds a handy windbreak, along with buckets and spades for seaside adventures.

Stairs, with a built-in stair gate at the top, lead to 3 bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The master bedroom has a king size bed, dressing table, a bedside table, wardrobe, chest of drawers and a wall mounted TV.
Ensuite shower room with a walk-in shower, WC, hand basin, heated towel rail and a glazed window looking out to the garden.

Family bedroom with a king size bed and bunk beds, hanging rail and 2 bedside tables

Bedroom 3 has bunk beds, wardrobe, small table and a stool. Windows looking out to the garden.

Cosy Nook in Southwold was even nicer than the photos. Great location near the beach and Sole Bay Inn, easy to park on the roads nearby. Stay in Suffolk were really helpful when we got locked out and when the toilet flush broke so would definitely recommend!!

Cosy Nook is clean, comfortable and inviting. It has everything a family needs to enjoy a holiday. Close to the beach, bars, restaurants, shops and galleries, it is perfectly situated at the centre of Southwold. And there's plenty to occupy both adults and children inside with games, books and TV.

Great house close to everything. Great pub 30 secs, F & C 2 mins, beach 3 mins. We love Southwold, regardless of weather a great house in a great location. As per other reviews the seagulls are lively at 3am, you get used to them. Will be back next year😘

Property was very spacious and was a luxurious fit for a family of 5. A fantastic property that i'd highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the delights of Southwold. Everything was 5 star apart from location itself not because it was a horrible area or anything but due to the fact seagulls were clearly in mating season just over the road around the residential parking area. It was incredibly noisy, even at 3am. I would however highly recommend Stay In Suffolk having done holiday lets with them before. Will definitely be booking in with these guys again. Thank you!

For 5 adults and 2 children the house was ideal for location to beach, shops, high street and we found parking very close by. There is plenty space for everyone and rooms feel spacious. The kitchen is an excellent size and the extra bathrooms / toilets are good. We enjoyed the stay a lot and appreciated the space and comfy beds. The only challenges for us were that the sofa was far too low and the kitchen table, when extended, doesn’t fit easily into the bay window. A large round table would make more sense.
