Pinkney's Lane
Occupying the whole of the first floor above the Adnams Wine Shop, with magnificent views across South Green to Gun Hill and the sea, in Southwold, one of the most lovely coastal towns of England.
No. 6 Pinkney's Lane, Southwold, Suffolk
Capable of sleeping five (one double bed, a pair of full size bunk beds and a slip bed), Pinkneys Lane flat is furnished with great character and provided with everything you could need; local maps and guidebooks, plenty of holiday reading, board games and a tide table, as well as the more mundane necessities of everyday life. The walls are hung with charts pictures and photographs of local interest, including mementoes of Southwold’s famous Trinity Fair which still occupies South Green for three days every year.
The building is an interesting one; long narrow, bow fronted and slightly nautical. It was originally the chemist’s shop of Joseph Arthy, who arrived in Southwold in 1825 and who was married on 16th August that year to the delightfully named Mary Anne Perfect. He became a distinguished and much loved figure of the town and his death in 1861 is recorded by a wall memorial in the north aisle of St Edmund’s Church, which describes him as ‘the best and kindest friend’ of ‘the poor of this parish’.
The Wine Shop’s neighbour, the Red Lion, is much older - a seventeenth century inn which is believed to owe its name to the figurehead of a Dutch warship which was washed ashore after the Battle of Sole Bay in 1672, and served for many years as the pub’s sign, before being taken away to embellish the façade of a rival Red Lion, at Martlesham.
Guests staying in the flat for a week or more will receive a welcome pack upon arrival.
NOTE: Access to the flat is by a fairly steep staircase. The property is not suitable for the disabled or pets. The Flat has its own cot, highchair and child gate for the stairs.
