Suffolk Cottages
From the vibrant heart of Southwold to the peaceful charm of Walberswick, Reydon, and nearby villages, our holiday cottages in Southwold and Suffolk offer a unique way to experience the coast.
Wake up to sea air and scenic views in one of our Southwold holiday homes, spend your days exploring sandy beaches, nature reserves, and local markets, then unwind in the comfort of your home-from-home. Whether you’re looking for a cosy holiday cottage for two, a spacious family retreat, or a dog-friendly property, our Southwold holiday rentals have something for everyone.

Make the most of Southwold’s famous seafront with your very own beach hut. Perfect for relaxing between dips in the sea, enjoying a picnic, or simply watching the world go by, our beach huts provide the ultimate base for a day at the coast during your Southwold holiday.
We have a range of brightly coloured huts available along the length of Southwold beach, a true Suffolk tradition and the perfect complement to your holiday cottage in Southwold or coastal holiday home.

If you own a holiday home or are thinking of letting one, we can help. As Southwold’s original letting agent, established in 1905, we offer trusted local expertise and a truly personal service.

Why Choose Durrants for Your Southwold Holiday Cottage?
Since 1905, we have been Southwold’s original letting agent, and over a century in the business has given us a genuine understanding of holiday cottages in this area. That kind of experience reflects generations of guests who have returned to us time and again.
Our team is based locally in Southwold, so we know our properties well. We can advise you on which cottages catch the morning sun, where to find a good crab sandwich, and when the tide is best for crabbing on the beach.
When you contact us about a holiday let, you will speak directly to someone who can help you find the right property, rather than being directed through a call centre.
Each of our cottages is inspected personally by our team, and we maintain them to a standard we would be happy to stay in ourselves.
We currently have more than 80 holiday homes across Southwold and the surrounding villages, ranging from seafront apartments to dog-friendly cottages with their own garden, so we are likely to have something to suit your needs.
You are welcome to browse and book online at any time, or visit our High Street office should you prefer to speak with us in person.
