Suitable for a family of six and their canine, this appealing chocolate-box cottage is tucked away in a relaxing part of the Suffolk coast and just moments from Southwold’s busy high street. Within a few hundred metres, this ideally placed home can be used as a base to explore the colourful pier or Southwold, and you can spend many happy hours letting Marley run the dunes of the seaside.
With pops of colour throughout the cottage, this town centre abode makes for a hassle-free holiday due to its thoughtful features and decor. Set back from the road, tails will be wagging at the entrance to a pretty courtyard with plenty of space for a four-legged friend to roam. Once inside, the rooms are spacious yet cosy, and your content canine will love curling up while you take a break to watch TV. Your kitchen is a social hub for the home and has everything you need to cook up a feast, including a range cooker and wooden dining table. Generous in size, the room invites you to crack open a bottle and wander through to the adjoining garden, where Marley can stroll in and out to his heart’s content. When day turns to night, three comfortable bedrooms await. Still on the ground floor, a lovely double bedroom invites sleepy heads, while upstairs another double and twin bedroom are made for sending you into a slumber. For a change of scenery, the suntrap patio offers a cute summerhouse for putting your feet up alfresco.
Grab the lead and meander the Southwold streets for a few provisions. Metres from the property, you can top up the larder with fresh goodies from a range of artisan food shops as well as browse shelves of unique trinkets and gifts for loved ones. As well as miles of golden sand for your pooches to explore, Southwold also offers a wide range of pubs and restaurants to try locally caught fresh fish or go alfresco and pack your own picnic, for you and the pooches to fill up halfway around. The nearby path from here along the Suffolk Heritage Coast is brilliant for dogs and offers plenty of opportunities to spot local wildlife and plants, including rare butterflies and swathes of wildflowers.
