This chic and stylish home in Southwold is a fantastic base for a seaside holiday in Suffolk. Whether you need a place to stay with family or friends, where your dog is welcomed with open arms, this property is a great find. It has a hard-to-beat location in one of Suffolk’s most popular towns, while the interiors have plenty of quirky finishing touches, which gives it bags of character.

You notice that character from the moment you step inside, straight into the open-plan living space with the kitchen/diner at one end. Finished to a high standard, the room is exceptionally comfortable. It has room for everyone to kick back and relax, including the dog, who will happily curl up by your feet if you are chilling out on a sofa. Upstairs, you’ll find a twin room, which can be turned into a king-size upon request. The second bedroom is a double, which benefits from a vaulted ceiling and a Juliet balcony. The final room has a super-king-size bed with its own shower room and WC. The family bathroom on this floor is for all to share and has a feature roll-top bath. For outdoor space, guests will find the property is close to the harbour and the Common.

While the property doesn’t have its own private outdoor area, the Common, in particular, is great for letting out a resident dog. Southwold has a pretty beach where you’ll find its restored pier. The town is also overlooked by an impressive lighthouse, while the marketplace has stalls open on Mondays and Thursdays – somewhere that dogs love to visit for the plethora of fun smells!

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 super king-size, 1 double, 1 twin (zip-and-link 2'6" beds that can be made up into a king on request)

A wonderful location and a lovely cottage superb interior and exterior design . Excellent quality contents which matched the amazing weather. All these things ensured we all had a memorable holiday. Thanks for the bread, jam, tea , milk and coffee a welcome start to our holiday after a long journey. Your on line guidance was very thorough and helpfRead moreul but it would also have been helpful to have access to a hard copy as reception in the area was not always consistent. We hired bikes from the local cycle centre and cycled to Dunwich . The children loved this adventure but the route is an off road one . We all want to come back again. Thank you for a most enjoyable and memorable holiday . Best wishes Marion and family. Hide

Lovely property with good sized bedroom, the open plan downstairs was nice but quite small for 6 adults and a toddler. Well situated for the town and beach, very quiet and cosy.

Great location and wonderfully ( I mean top notch) equipped cosy cottage right next to Gun Hill. The living space, which is downstairs, is an open plan kitchen, dining area and sitting area and the owners have a cottage guide app you can download to read before your stay. Very clever use of the space. Good

Garden Lodge is a fantastic cottage located at the bottom of Constitution Hill and very near Gun Hill Cannons. It is tucked away in a little court yard making it a very peaceful location but still only a couple of minutes walk to the beach or the town. The cottage is decorated and equipped to a very high standard. I loved the built in Sonos sound sRead moreystem, my daughter loved the Dyson hair dryers and my wife loved the wood burning stove. It was warm and cosy, the beds were super comfy and kitchen was great to cook in. We'll definitely come back. Hide

Having stayed in Southwold several times, this was by far our favourite location as it was quiet, the sky at night was amazing and we like going down to the harbour/walking to Walberswick. The cottage was very clean with high quality bedding and we loved the tech such as the ceiling Sonos speakers and heating controls in different rooms. The kitcheRead moren is also very well equipped.
