Property code: OC-AABRIA

Book a group stay at this roomy period property in Southwold to discover the scenic delights of the Suffolk Coast AONB. You’ll have ear-flappingly good nature trails through marshland and sand dunes starting from your front door and while the town’s main beach has dog restrictions in summer, the fully doggie-friendly sand and shingle beach is only 1 mile away at The Denes. As well as two dogs, there’s room for eight guests over four bedrooms, making this spacious property excellent for an extended family trip or holiday among friends.

This newly renovated home is decorated to a high standard, with carefully chosen colour schemes and tasteful touches like patterned curtains. In the open-plan living area, there’s plenty of light thanks to plenty of windows including a conservatory section where you’ll find the dining table. The Smart TV, and DVD player ensure you and your fellow guests stay entertained, while the wood burner will be dog magnet for tired pets on chilly nights. The large enclosed garden is a true doggie delight, with plenty of room for tail-chasing on the grassy lawn while the humans relax on the patio, which is furnished.

Within 0.5 miles of your front door, you can take your pets for a pint in a doggie-friendly pub then enjoy a stroll along the prom, past colourful beach huts and Southwold Lighthouse. Southwold Common (0.5 miles) presents excellent ball-launching opportunities, as does the sand-dune-backed beach at Walberswick (1.5 miles, no dog restrictions). Further afield, we recommend heading north to the secluded beach at Covehithe (5 miles, no dog restrictions) and allowing your pets to lead the way through the surrounding Benacre National Nature Reserve.

The property is in a fantastic location no more than 300 yards from anything you need. Linen and towels were in plentiful supply. Beds were comfy and once the fire was lit you knew you were on holiday in Southwold in February. Bath is huge. We will most certainly stay again.

We loved everything about the cottage. It was perfect for our 4 generation family holiday in terms of location, space and comfort. Will definitely book again when we return to Southwold.

The house was a little tired and externally some TLC was required. The property advertised that there was off-road parking for two cars, I think this is a little optimistic.
