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.

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.

Lovely house to stay in.
We stayed for a long weekend with our 2 children and family dogs. It was an ideal location to reach various locations for beach walks and to chill. The house its self was great, lovely character, clean and had EVERYTHING you would need. The shop opposite was great too, great range of local produce. The area was lovely and quiet too. We were very sad to leave on Sunday morning, if my husband and i didn't have to work on the Monday we would have contacted the owner to see if we could stay another night or 2! Even our 2 children who have autism and cannot deal with holidays very well absolutely loved it and wanted to stay longer. Thank you for helping us make some lovely memories with our children.

Everything you need for a seaside break.
The house was really comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and milk, tea, coffee and biscuits were provided. The master bed was very comfortable and all beds were clean and nicely presented. We were particularly pleased that there were plenty of buckets and spades and picnic blankets in the shed when the weather was better than expected and we were able to spend a day on the beach. The children loved the wide range of books and games that were provided. It was a short walk into Southwold and there was a small shop opposite for essentials. We had a great stay - thank you!

Good trip to Reydon
The cottage was really cosy and warm. We had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. The shop opposite has basics aswell as nicer products, pretty much everything you would need. Only thing I missed was the fact it was a downstairs bathroom and we would have preferred one upstairs. Having said that, the bathroom looked newly redecorated with a great shower.
