Take a trip back in time at this character-filled Grade II Listed cottage with superb sea views.

A Grade II Listed building, Reading Room Cottage dates back to the 1870s, and sits proudly between the Sailors Reading Room and The Nelson Inn, keeping close watch over the North Sea. A stay here offers a real opportunity to capture the essence of Southwold’s history.

The kitchen/dining area is the hub of the home here. Its traditional brick floor, wood clad wall and ‘oil lamp’ lighting make the cottage’s history palpable – you can imagine the great stories told by fishermen and sailors of days gone by in this very room. There’s also a bright and comfortable sitting room with modern home comforts including Smart TV, plus the shower room and WC is on the ground floor.

Upstairs, the accommodation is simple but comfortable. There’s a large double bedroom boasting front row sea views and two twins room with full size single beds suitable for adults or children. Each room has ample storage space for all the luggage needed for a traditional British seaside holiday.

There’s private parking at Reading Room Cottage – in such a prime location in Southwold this is a real plus. To the rear of the cottage is an enclosed courtyard garden with dining table and chairs. This is an ideal spot for a quiet drink or bite to eat, but with the benches on the promenade just a few steps away, you might prefer to use the courtyard for storing beach equipment or bicycles. To the front of the property is a small terrace/patio area with locally built furniture made from reclaimed wood; a pleasant and sheltered spot to sit and watch the world go by.

Stayed here several times because of location and parking. Cottage was spotless on arrival.

Fantastic stay in a great location, saw so much whilst we were here.

Beautiful cottage in the most perfect location. Cottageis well kitted out, beds comfortable, sad to be leaving!

Parking was an added bonus, we would definately stay again.

Wonderful cottage. So authentic but warm and cosy. This is now a new special place for us! Thank you.

A very comfortable stay on a chilly March holiday. The beds were excellent. Cottage was clean and aired. We would definitely stay here again.

We have had an amazing week. The cottage is in such a lovely spot. The sunrises were amazing.

The cottage is in an ideal location, a stones throw from the beach and the pub next door. Despite lots of wind and rain we had a perfect cosy stay in Southwold.

The cottage is in the perfect location, we have had a wonderful holiday. Thank you.

Been to Southwold many times but at last have found the perfect cottage for us. Will be back.

I loved the side garden, to sit and chat to passers-by

Perfect location, great for family holiday and ideal to have the parking which is hard to find in southwold! Will definitely return.

A pleasant house in a good location we have stayed there on many occasions.

Been coming for years and it never disappoints. Sound of seagulls and the sea has topped up our souls. Thank you for another wonderful trip.
