The Photographer’s House has two bedrooms, one bathroom and a large terrace. Southwold has a wide range of great shops, cafés, delis, pubs and restaurants within stumbling distance. so you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to dining. Alternatively, visit one of the independent grocers, bakers and butchers and cook up a storm.
A visit to Southwold wouldn’t be complete without heading off to the pier; dating back to the 1900’s, this was originally built as a landing point for the steamships which use to stop off at the town. You can also visit the lighthouse - this is a distinctive landmark at the centre of the town and has been guiding vessels into the historical harbour since the late 1800’s. A great location for nature lovers and twitchers, just a 25-minute drive to RSPB Minsmere where you can discover some of the UK’s rarest wildlife and enjoy family-friendly activities.

We had an excellent time staying in the Photographers House.
We had an excellent time staying in the Photographers House. It is a lovely Grade II listed property and was immaculate when we arrived, so clean! The little additions the hosts had made were very thoughtful and started our trip off brilliantly - dog treats, dog toys, milk, a couple of beers, chocolates…our daughter loved the colouring set and pencils provided. Really would recommend and a fantastic location to explore both the local eateries, pubs and the beach!

The Photographers house felt like home.
The Photographers house felt like home. Cosy, quirky, comfortable. Just minutes from the beach, seconds away from the butchers and green grocers.Sitting in the window watching the world go by, lazing in the hot bath, shopping for local produce, cooking in the easy to use Kitchen, lots of wonderful walks from the doorstep, a bed and treats for your doggy, what more could we have wanted?We stayed for three weeks and did not want to leave.
