Christmas Holidays

More and more people are deciding to celebrate Christmas away from home and, we may be biased, but we think Southwold on the Suffolk Coast is a pretty special place to come and enjoy the festive season.

Southwold will be lit up ready for your arrival which is sure to get you into the festive spirit. Brand new Christmas lights, trees and decorations will hang from buildings and shops all along the glorious High Street which is sure to set the scene for a memorable Instagram snap or two.

Southwold’s High Street with its many independent shops and boutiques is brimming with gift ideas, so there’s no need to worry about a bit of last-minute Christmas shopping. From local, independent shops stocking unique Southwold souvenirs to extra special fashion garments and locally sourced produce for your Christmas feast, you’re sure to find the perfect gift for a loved one in Southwold.

The festive season wouldn’t be the same without some fantastic food, and here in Southwold we’re not short on places to dine so you’ll be completely spoilt for choice. Expect to see gingerbread lattes in various cafes, mulled wine and mince pies, festive themed afternoon teas and festive ingredients such as chestnuts, turkey and cranberries featuring on fine dining menus in the array of popular restaurants.

On the big day itself, the Christmas Day Swim is a real highlight as hundreds of eager swimmers take to the sea to raise money for the Rotary Club. Many spectators join to cheer on their loved ones and the warm, happy atmosphere is infectious.

All our Southwold and surrounding area cottages featured below are available for a Christmas break arriving on either Thursday 21st or Friday 22nd December 2023. Booking is available online or you can call us to book your festive holiday on 01502 723292.

We can’t wait to share Christmas in Southwold with you.
