About Coastline Cottage
A Cottage Full of Family History
Hello and welcome! We're Lisa and David Crawley, proud owners of Coastline Cottage.
Our beautiful traditional fisherman's cottage has been part of our family for over 95 years, making it much more than just a holiday home—it's a place filled with cherished memories, family traditions and a genuine love for the Suffolk coast.
In 2012, we purchased the cottage from Lisa's grandmother and carefully restored it, preserving its original character while introducing modern comforts. Our aim was to create a warm, welcoming retreat where guests can enjoy everything the Suffolk coastline has to offer without losing the charm of a traditional seaside cottage.
Today, we're delighted to share our special family home with guests from across the UK and beyond.
Perfect for Couples, Families and Dog Lovers
Whether you're planning a romantic seaside escape, a family beach holiday or a relaxing break with your four-legged friend, Coastline Cottage offers the perfect home from home.
Situated just moments from Pakefield Beach, the cottage is ideal for coastal walks, watching the sunrise over the North Sea, exploring nearby Southwold and enjoying everything the Suffolk coast has to offer.
We warmly welcome one small, well-behaved dog, and the enclosed courtyard provides a safe outdoor space for both pets and children. If you'd like to enjoy a day exploring attractions where dogs aren't permitted, we can also recommend a trusted local pet sitter for a small additional charge.
Family-Friendly Holidays
As parents and grandparents ourselves, we understand that travelling with young children can sometimes be challenging. That's why we're happy to provide many of the essentials to help make packing easier and your holiday more relaxing.
Available on request:
Travel cot
Highchair
Stairgate
Children's books and games
Beach toys and equipment
Just let us know your requirements before you arrive and we'll do our best to have everything ready for your stay.
Only a short walk from the cottage is Pakefield's beautiful beach, where children can safely enjoy building sandcastles, paddling and making lifelong holiday memories.
