Southwold is the Suffolk Coast at its most postcard-perfect.
Southwold, and why people stay
Southwold is the postcard Suffolk Coast town: the painted beach huts, the working pier, the lighthouse rising out of the rooftops and a Georgian high street still full of independents.
Adnams runs through it like a thread, from the brewery on Victoria Street to the pubs on every corner.
Walk the prom from the pier to the harbour, swim from the main beach, eat fish and chips at the Sole Bay Fish Co., and finish at the Lord Nelson or the Sole Bay Inn.
Out of season, Southwold belongs to its locals and the lucky few visitors who know it's even better in November.
That mix is exactly what makes weekend breaks in Southwold so worthwhile for the right kind of guest.

Planning a weekend break in Southwold
A weekend break works best when you arrive on Friday, unpack once and spend two or three nights properly switching off.
Our homes around Southwold are ready for Friday arrivals, with clear check in details sent in advance so you can head straight in after the drive.
Spend Saturday walking, browsing local shops or booking a long lunch, then keep Sunday slow with a coastal stroll or a visit to one of the nearby villages before heading home.
Self catering means you can mix a meal out with an easy supper in, and having a whole home makes a short break with friends far more relaxed than a hotel.
Check weekend availability on each listing, as popular dates fill early in summer and school holidays.
