Property code: OC-AAHEAT

Located just 100 metres from the seafront in pretty Southwold, this peaceful two-bed cottage is an excellent spot for discovering Suffolk’s stunning coastline. From its front rooms, it offers views over Southwold Common – a great spot for morning walkies, and is 0.5 miles from a doggie-friendly beach your pet will go mutts for. This charming property has space for up to three people and three dogs, so would suit a couple or a small family keen for a quiet break with their pet.

You’ll enter this holiday home into a welcoming open-plan living area with mullioned sash windows . There’s a lounge area with inviting seating, a TV plus a rug for your pet to doze on. The kitchen has everything you need for preparing home-cooked meals and packed lunches, while the dining area is located within a charming conservatory. Outside, there are two spots for sunning your skin/fur during your stay, with a pleasant courtyard with a table and chairs out the back and a small seating area out the front, too.

Southwold is a thriving town with a dog-friendly pub and plenty of shops within 200 metres of your front door. The seaside town is located within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, giving you excellent access to an unspoilt landscape featuring ancient heaths, wildlife-rich estuaries and shingle beaches. There are plenty of option for pet-pleasing trails – such as winding your way west through the wetlands of the River Blyth till you reach Blythburgh village. Alternatively, head north towards the secluded dog-friendly beach at Covehithe (5.5 miles) and explore the pretty Benacre National Nature Reserve in which it’s located.

This was our second stay in Heathside in Southwold which is excellently situated for the town, the beach and the common, so access to everything is really easy. The property is comfortable and pleasant and gave us a great base to explore the area. Our little dog also loved easy access to the common and the beach. We hope to return in future.

The cottage is in an ideal position in Southwold. Perfect for a short walk to the beach, common and shops. Comfortable and clean accommodation, furnished to a good standard. Parking at property for one car, though if you have a large vehicle, might be better to use the free car park by the common, which is just across the road. Enjoyed our week andRead more would definitely stay again. Hide

Having stayed in Southwold many times over the years, I found this the most ideal spot! The common was great to walk the dog first in the morning, the high street, beach, shops & pubs all within such a short distance. We will be back :)

Have been to the cottage many times before, though not for previous three years because of Covid. It was as lovely as ever, and you were excellent at getting the very helpful handyman to us who sorted the blinds. Minor gripes, awful quality loo rolls, and surprised not more spare bin liners and perhaps dustbin bags or similar to put bedding etc in Read moreat the end. Hide
