The details
Perched high on the Suffolk cliffs with uninterrupted views across the North Sea, Kraken is a truly remarkable retreat for two. Inspired by the fascinating folklore of Suffolk's legendary sea dragon, this architect-designed hideaway blends bold contemporary design with one of the most spectacular coastal settings in the county. Featured in The Guardian, The Times and Country Living, Kraken offers the perfect combination of striking architecture, complete privacy and endless sea views, making it an unforgettable place to slow down and reconnect.
From the moment you arrive, the dramatic setting captures your attention. Clad in beautiful cedar shingles that echo the mythical scales of the sea dragon which inspired its design, Kraken sits gracefully within the landscape, while its soaring beamed ceiling creates an impressive sense of space inside. The enormous glazed gable frames a breathtaking 180-degree panorama stretching across the sea towards Southwold, ensuring the ever-changing coastline becomes the backdrop to every moment of your stay. Whether you're watching dramatic winter waves roll in or welcoming the sunrise from the comfort of bed, the view is simply mesmerising.
The open-plan interior has been thoughtfully designed with comfort and simplicity in mind. A luxurious super-king size bed dressed in crisp Egyptian cotton linen faces the sea, allowing lazy mornings spent watching the sky change colour before the day begins. Nearby, a comfortable three-seater sofa provides the perfect spot to curl up with a book, enjoy a glass of wine or simply lose yourself in the endless horizon. Heating and air conditioning ensure the space remains cosy whatever the season.
The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed for relaxed self-catering stays, including an induction hob, fan oven, dishwasher, fridge and Nespresso coffee machine. Enjoy leisurely breakfasts at the dining table before heading out to explore, then return to prepare supper while the evening light dances across the water. The stylish ensuite shower room features a luxurious digital shower, adding a little everyday indulgence to your stay.
Outside, your private deck becomes the natural extension of the living space. Sip your morning coffee as seabirds drift overhead, savour alfresco dinners accompanied by the sound of the waves below or settle in with a sundowner as the sky glows with spectacular coastal sunsets. The setting feels wonderfully peaceful, with nature all around and nothing to interrupt the view beyond the sea.
Although wonderfully secluded, Kraken is perfectly placed for exploring this beautiful stretch of Suffolk. Wander down the private track to the wild beach at Easton Bavents for peaceful shoreline strolls, or take the easy walk or short cycle ride into Southwold to discover its charming pier, colourful beach huts, independent shops, cosy pubs and renowned restaurants. The surrounding coastline is also a haven for walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers, while exciting additions including a sea view sauna and spa treatments are arriving at Still Southwold, making this already restorative retreat even more relaxing.
