Property code: OC-SEG

A cosy cottage retreat for four guests and one furry friend is the perfect destination for your next dog-friendly holiday. In a picturesque village location just 4 miles from Halesworth and 7 miles from Southwold, you’re well-positioned for exploring an abundance of tail-wagging walks and pet-friendly pursuits in the surrounding area. Discover Suffolk’s unrivalled beauty with man’s best friend at your heel and your loved ones by your side, spending time walking along the coast, visiting pet-friendly local beaches or touring nearby towns. You can even make the journey over the border into Norfolk to explore the southern tip of The Broads (11 miles).

Period features are paired with contemporary design choices to bring bundles of life to this charming country cottage. Both man and dog alike will adore all the space both inside and out, including the generously proportioned garden that’s fully enclosed and well-furnished. Let your pet roam freely and stretch their legs as you enjoy a morning coffee or late-night sundowner in the summer house. Back inside, the lounge is on-hand for creating the cosiest atmosphere on winter nights, complete with an open fire that your dog will adore snoozing beside as you head on upstairs to bed. Two bedrooms, one double and one king-size zip-and-link, sit alongside a bathroom on the first floor.

On the coast, Southwold is a tourist town that all guests will go mutts for. Filled with independent shops, attractions and plenty of pet-friendly pubs, your whole pack can spend some enjoyable time exploring here. The northern point of the beach, up by the pier, is canine-compatible with plenty of room to exercise your pup. Closer to home, vibrant scenery along the River Blyth lies in wait for walkies visits, and a country pub in the village of Wenhaston is a wonderful place to end your day (0.5 miles).

Lovely little cottage, very comfortable beds and furniture. Great location in a village we love so much we are hoping to move home there ourselves. Usual friendly reception from locals in the village and the Star pub. Recommend this cottage to all, just beware of stairs on first few encounters, once tackled they become easy.
