Thankyou for another great week in Southwold at Chestnutt Cottage.
Saturday we arrived in amazing sunshine to a clean cottage and busy Southwold . @ days of rain followed and then SUN SUN SUN . Beach hut fun had by all.

Thank you for fabulous week in sunny ( for the most part) Southwold. We have really loved the cottage and no 108- grandchildren fascinated by the jellyfish eggs on the beach. A perfect stay.

Brilliant location - out of the hustle of Southwold High Street traffic and ideal for walking/cycling into Southwold, and for setting off easily to go inland to some of Suffolk's other great attractions too. Love being able to walk direct from the cottage across the marshes/common to the Harbour, along Blackshore to the beach and then along to the pier and home over Reydon marshes - no tarmac or traffic fumes en route.

Great to have secure undercover cycle parking and an off road space for our car.
Cottage itself comfy and attractive and well equipped with all we needed, a really good base for a relaxing break, fresh air and birdwatching.

And so many good food shops and eateries in easy reach..especially the Southwold butcher for meat, the Harbour for fish and Reydon village shop for local grown veg...and the Randolph a short walk away when you don't want to cook . Not surprisingly we are repeat visitors.

Thank you Lottie for your lovely pictures. We are so very glad you had such good holidays. We love looking at all the pictures you have drawn for us in our visitors book. You must , by now, have many, very happy memories of your holidays in Southwold.

This beautiful collage was made by the Huttton family . We were very pleased to see that they all thoroughly enjoyed their Southwold holiday in  Chestnutt Cottage and are delighted to find  their joint work of art in our visitors' book.

The beach hut  is available (to rent) by  visitors who choose to stay at Chestnutt cottage. The hut is on Southwold Promenade near the Lighthouse and  is highly recommended  by all who have taken advantage of this option.
"We all had a wonderful holiday in Chestnutt Cottage, especially enjoying the beach hut and being able to leave the bags etc there when we went for a walk in the afternoons."

Breakfast in the beach hut was a dream come true.

'​After trawling the internet for hours I was delighted to find Judith and Chestnutt Cottage. Thank you for everything.'

"Good time had by all- glad we used our bikes every day. Trip away to Orford and Aldeburgh interesting. Saw an Agatha Christie play at the Summer Theatre ( and painted our beach hut! ) really relaxed."

"3 yrs on the trot and another super holiday! Our toddler loved the simple pleasures of beach life - hut sand, stones, paddling. As ever our walk to and from the beach hut justified a yummy ice-cream or fish and chips- note we found ace fish and chips at the pier- even better than Marks!
Bought super fish from the hut at the harbour and made smoked haddock and prawn chowder with it.
Enjoyed a day in Woodbridge- lovely cafe in the park.
Lastly people with children, note the newly done playground near Southwold Church ( Tibby's Triangle ) is fantastic.
PS Don't miss the Under the Pier Show at The Pier."

"Enjoyed a great week. Lots of sun, so out and about every day. Walking has been great. Especially enjoyed Aldeburgh, Snape Maltings and Minsmere. The cottage was perfect for our first visit to Suffolk- very bright and sunny - caught up with my reading in the cosy conservatory."

Lovely cottage, simple and stylish. Fantastic pre Easter weather, making for a wonderfully relaxed break. Thankyou.
