Property code: OC-SPE

Recently modernised, this traditional chocolate-box Southwold cottage makes the ultimate base for families or two couples and their canine friend. Play fetch along the sands of Southwold or grab fish and chips and stroll the promenade for a relaxing getaway on the Suffolk coast.

Open the front door of this gorgeous pastel-coloured cottage and be delighted by the seaside decor that invites you to batten down the hatches and escape the rat race. With picturesque views of the sea, the lounge/diner has a six-seater dining table and two comfy sofas to help you unwind, with plenty of space for floor cuddles with the pooch. After a day of exploration, snuggle together in front of the TV and let the hound snooze at your feet. A door from the living space leads through to a modern galley kitchen where light presents itself from every direction. Sit yourself down in one of the two reclining leather armchairs and enjoy a glass of red, or stroke the pup while you rest in peace and quiet. When it’s time to let sleeping dogs lie, say goodnight to your canine companion and head up the cottage-style stairs to the two bedrooms. One king-size with an en-suite shower room and one double with an en-suite bathroom are perfect for hitting the hay. Outside, you can enjoy your morning cup of tea in the courtyard, while your four-legged friend stretches their legs.

Based within the centre of town, this property is within easy reach of restaurants, pubs and the colourful promenade of Southwold, which backs onto an all-year-round dog-friendly beach. Stroll miles and miles of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where your canine companion will adore chasing their tail along the woodland. Seek out rare plants and spot unique wildlife that inhabits this special part of the Suffolk coast.

A very cosy cottage, with the sea less than a minute away. The bedding provided by the owner is exceptionally comfortable-probably the best sleep I have ever had in my staying in many years of hotels or other rented accommodation.

This is a nice comfortable cottage which is well place near the Sole Bay Inn, which offers a warm welcome good beer and delicious food. It is great to have two en suites, but the shower room is snug and might not suit somebody with mobility issues. We were very lucky with parking and managed to park directly outside for the duration of the trip.

The only thing missing was a small supply of salt. However if you know this you can bring your own. Hide

Stunning location but we had an issue with the front bedroom which smelt of sewerage on arrival and came from the en-suite itself. Kitchen equipment was good but take your own tea towels and cleaning cloths as these were not provided. The dishwasher didnt clean adequately, sadly, so we had to wash up by hand. This was such a shame as with Read morea bit of maintenance this could have been the perfect stay. Hide

The location of this property at the heart of everything - beach/ town / pubs makes this an excellent place to stay. We parked the car on arrival and didnt move it for a week. The cottage was homely, clean and well organised- just what we needed to have a week off!
