The downstairs loo is near the back door. Walking from the kitchen towards the front of the house you will find the lovely light dining room which seats 6 comfortably and has sea views. Finally you will find the sitting room which is at the front of the house and which features the house's beautiful curved corner wall. There are 2 large sofas and a small woodburning stove for the cooler evenings. The TV offers free access to Netflix as well as the usual channels.

We had a fantastic stay! The house was in a great spot by the sea and shops. The only small issue was that there were quite a few cobwebs.

Family Get Together

Wonderful relaxing break in pretty Southwold spent with family and young grandchild. We love the character of the town and the comforts of East Cliff House which is situated in the perfect location. Thoughtful touch of goodie bag left by owner. Excellent meals at the Swan Hotel, The Sail Loft and of course fish & chips from Sole Bay. Very much looking forward to our next visit.

Perfect location

A lovely place to stay in a perfect location - a great sea view and only two minutes walk to shops, restaurants and pubs. Though there is no private outdoor space we enjoyed our bowls of cereal and cups of tea sat on the benches overlooking the sea on a sunny morning. Be aware that there are a few changes of level between rooms that can catch you out and the stairs are fairly steep but my 89 yr old Father in law managed fine. I look forward to staying again one day - not least because there are several interesting books I want to carry on reading!

Great location in Sothwold

We were 2 couples and a toddler (16 months old) and this 3 bedroom property was just the the right size for us. The location on the sea front in Southwold could not be better, in easy reach of everything and with good sea views, especially from upstairs. Communication with Penny. the owner-manager was very easy and all our questions and queries were replied to within minutes. Many thanls for an excellent stay !

Fantastic seaside stay

We had a lovely stay at this charming, welcoming property. It was clean and was equipped with everything we needed. The property is in a great location next to the sea and our 2 young children loved being on the beach each day even in mid January!!! The communication with the host Penny was great before, during and after our stay, we would love to stay again.

Wonderful get away with views over the sea

We loved this little cottage. It was in an excellent location on the seafront. There is no outside space but we drank our morning coffee on the benches just outside overlooking the beach. The owner was super helpful and informative. She sorted out a small accident that we had in a very helpful and efficient manner and at minimal cost to ourselves.

Fantastic location!

We had a lovely stay at East Cliff cottage. The cottage is small yet perfectly adequate for a family of 4. The location is absolutely perfect and made popping to the beach with our children easy and effortless. It’s a very short walk to town for supplies meaning we hardly used our car all week. The only downside to the property is the lack of outdoor space with only a small courtyard. There is a small green out the front of the house with some benches to sit on. This may not suit families with younger children though. Also the ceiling height in parts of the house is low. My 6ft 4” husband was regularly hitting his head downstairs on light fittings and outside the toilet. Generally we had a lovely stay in the cottage and Penny was a pleasure to deal with throughout and helped me deal with any problems we had. Thanks Penny for a lovely stay!

Awesome Location

The house’s position just above the beach, looking over the green and out to sea is tough to beat. It’s compact but covers all of the bases and creature comforts. We’d all be delighted if we have the opportunity to stay again.

A beautiful seaside location

An historic house in a magnificent position in a beautiful English seaside town. Sleeping to the sound of waves and living at a slower pace of life - what more could you want on a relaxing holiday with great friends. We had a lovely stay here and can highly recommend its location, facilities, the generous provisions and the excellent communication with Penny throughout. Thank you.

Fantastic location

East Cliff House is in the perfect location for both the beach and the town. The house is beautifully decorated and has amazing views out to sea. The outside area at the back is big enough to store beach items and wetsuits which was handy. The kitchen is small but has everything you need. Loved our stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Penny Dawe

Host profile image
We bought East Cliff House in 2013 in a very sorry state and have loved the process of turning it into a very much loved family holiday home. We are a family of 5 and love spending time there flitting from the beach to the shops to the pubs, eating fish and chips on the beach and so much more! In the winter we love long walks along the beach and further afield and in the warmer months we enjoy swimming in the sea, surfing & relaxing outside Suzie's beach cafe which is just a few metres away from the house.

Why they chose this property

East Cliff House is in the perfect location to enjoy everything that Southwold has to offer. The house works really well for a family with different interests - there really is something close by for everyone. The beach is just a few steps away across a green so no roads to cross. There's a fantastic Adnams pub, The Nelson, just around the corner and the high street is also just a few metres away. The house is comfortable and warm with underfloor heating throughout and the kitchen and bathrooms are all newly fitted. There is a small courtyard at the back of the house where you can stomp the sand off and hang your beach clothes and towels ready for the next day and In the Sitting Room there is a cosy log burner and smart TV to unwind in the evenings.
As a fantastic extra, there is a beach hut which can be hired separately. Please contact owner for more information.

What makes this property unique

East Cliff House is a beautiful Victorian cottage with glorious sea views within easy reach of both the beach and high street. Southwold's beach and famous beach huts are just a few off-road steps away and the high street with its independent shops, pubs and eateries are just round the corner. I genuinely love hosting and I prepare the house myself making sure that each guest is carefully catered for and has a very special stay.
