About this cottage rental

Lighthouse View in Southwold is a comfortable and welcoming holiday cottage sleeping four people in two bedrooms. This early-Victorian cottage is by St.James' Green in the very heart of this attractive coastal town. From the front door it is just yards to the promenade and sea.

Not only does Lighthouse View offer an excellent holiday location but Southwold's landmark lighthouse stands just over the wall of the cottage's rear courtyard. The fully-operational lighthouse is accessed from nearby Stradbroke Road and is open on certain dates for visitors to climb up to the top to enjoy the wonderful views. Children (and perhaps adults) will be captivated by the gentle rotation of the lights from the lighthouse in the evening.

Car parking is freely available in the immediate area. Indeed you may park your car on arrival and not use it again throughout your stay.

Owners Russ and Sue are happy to share their delightful cottage with holidaymakers who would love to experience this wonderful location in the charming town of Southwold. Children over 4 years are welcome as is one well-behaved dog.

For the young and the young at heart this super seaside cottage has so much to offer.

Super in every repect. Stayed here for several years now. Always one word of warning for the elderly and infirm, the we stairs are very steep. Care is needed. Other than that, superb. I think I'll be going for a few years yet, hopefull. Always take some warm clothing !!

All was good with the cottage and our host. Our break was badly let down with communication with VBRO. We contacted them 3 times regarding an issue with the TVand received replies saying ‘sorry something went wrong at our end’ . This is not good enough and makes me reluctant to use VBRO in the future.

Perfect little cottage in the middle of Southwold. Everything on our doorstep so easy to nip in and out as we wished. Our dog loved it too, short stroll to the beach for zoomies 😄. Would definitely consider staying here again for a relaxing break.

Lovely cosy cottage just steps away from the beach and close to a nice pub and the Adnams brewery. The bath in the main bedroom is a nice touch.

The cottage was very comfortable. The decor was recent but kept sympathetic to the period. Immaculate throughout.

We had a day in Southwold a couple of years previous and wanted to come back for longer. This cottage was perfect! only a short walk from the beach and the town centre. We really couldnt ask for any more. Only negative (If any) is the fight for a parking spot. But worst case, there's always parking available on the front withour restrictions. So its a case of park there and wait for the opportunity to move your car closer later on. But all in all, one of the most relaxing holidays we've ever had. We will be back

Fabulous Southwold

Fabulous Southwold

We love Southwold in the winter, and Lighthouse View is a great base for getting the most out of this beautiful town. The cottage is beautifully appointed and very well equipped. Russell was excellent with communication, and the location is just brilliant - whether you want to benefit from being a stone’s-throw from the beach, in and amongst the pubs and restaurants or easy access to the walks to the harbour, Walberswick and beyond

Had the most fantastic week at this property. Close to the beach and all amenities especially as I'm disabled was able to get out on my scooter without any difficulty. Would recommend and also stay again if I were to go back to Southwold.

Lovely cottage in the middle of Southwold. Really enjoyed our stay and the property was exactly as advertised. Very accessible to the town centre. We appreciate extra cleaning and sanitising is required but having travelled so far would have been nicer to get in earlier if the cleaning was completed as 6pm is quite late

Charming cottage in perfect location.

Charming cottage in perfect location.

Perfect location in the centre of Southwold, only yards from the beach. Cottage was very well equipped with a superb shower and great wi-fi, appeared to have been recently redecorated to a high standard. Our only gripe was that the sofas were in poor repair and very uncomfortable. Having spoken to the owner I understand that they are due to be replaced at the end of this month, not much consolation to us as unfortunately we had a very wet week and so used them more than we normally would. With sofas sorted would definitely have been a 5*.

We enjoyed our stay in Lighthouse View very much. It is so close to everything, beautiful beach and promenade to the Pier, pubs,shops, restaurants and of course the famous Adnams. The cottage is comfortably equipped and the Victorian bath in the main bedroom was extra special. You just need to be able to negotiate steep stairs to second floor.Thank you Russ and Sue. We would thoroughly recommend.

We loved our 2nd stay at your property and felt that your Covid preparations were good. We have already booked for next year. The only complaint is that, while we appreciate that a lot of things had to be removed, we could have done with a strainer for pasta, veg etc. Jane Sullivan

We really enjoyed our long weekend in Lighthouse View cottage in Southwold. The cottage is perfectly situated for the town and for the beach. The cottage has everything you would need. We would not hesitate to book it again for future visits to our favourite corner of England. We did a tour of the Adnams Brewery which is only a two minute walk away. We also visited Snape and went to a performance at the Maltings.
