Durrants Cottage of the Year – Gold Award Winner 2022
This award is based on feedback scores provided by guests during 2022. Feedback covers such aspects as facilities, decor and cleanliness.

Pilot Cottage is a beautiful and deceptively spacious cottage located in the heart of Southwold, only a short stroll to the beach and the popular Lord Nelson Inn. This pet-friendly cottage benefits from much sought-after off-road parking and comes with bundles of traditional cottage charm.

The cosy sitting room is the ideal place to relax and unwind with original brick fireplace housing the woodburning stove. This large room offers guests plenty of space and seating to curl up with a good book or a glass of wine and relax by the glow of the fire. The room has been extended with a large television in the garden side of the room with French doors opening onto the impressive paved courtyard garden – a real suntrap and hidden oasis.

The modern kitchen and dining area is a lovely space for entertaining. Decorated in neutral grey tones, this wonderfully bright space is equipped with everything you could desire for self-catering. The dining area also boasts patio doors which lead out onto the garden.

All bedrooms of Pilot Cottage reside on the first floor of the cottage with the master bedroom having the added benefit of an En-Suite shower and plenty of storage for clothes. There are a further two double bedrooms one of which also has another En-Suite and one bunk bedded room, great for family or friends holidaying together with little ones. The contemporary family bathroom has a bath with electric shower.

The owners of Pilot Cottage have gone the extra mile to ensure guests feel at home in this wonderful cottage with a great selection of family games and reading material, perfect for keeping the family amused when the weather isn’t so pleasant!

Pilot Cottage is in lovely spot just off the main High Street with its abundance of gift shops, bakeries, restaurants and boutiques. Just a short stroll away takes you to the seafront with its iconic candy-coloured beach huts and popular food outlets such as Harris and James gelato ice creams and fish ‘n’ chips are within a stone’s throw from the cottage.

What we love about this property

  • Just to say a big thank you to you all for our latest stay in Pilot Cottage and great to see you again. Your customer service goes above and beyond and we love the Durrants family.



    It was great to be back in Pilot as a glorious gem of a holiday cottage and one of our absolute favourites with the parking space an added bonus. The beds and variety of sofa's/chairs are all so comfortable. The light and airy kitchen fabulous to cook and eat in and extremely well equipped. Plus the girls (doggie's) loved the outdoor space too, quiet, secluded and a great sun trap. Wow the new garden table and benches very comfortable and fits in perfectly with the nearby beach. Obviously Pilot is well cared for and loved by the owners. A big thank you for the most welcome bottle of Prosecco and dog biscuits #it'sthelittlethings.
