This lovely two-storey cottage in Southwold makes an excellent springboard for discovering the scenic Suffolk Heritage Coast with your family and dog. In the immediate area, you can take your pet for satisfying walks past the colourful beach huts and along to the pier (0.5 miles), then enjoy a quiet evening in with a takeaway or home-cooked dinner. With a double room and a twin, this comfortable holiday home has space for up to four humans and one doggie guest, so is just right for a couple or a small family.
A stylish modern decor awaits in this light-filled property, which has an open-plan living area for socialising and eating. After a busy day exploring the pretty local marshlands and pretty beaches, you can watch something on the Smart TV as your tired-out dog takes a nap on the furry rug. On sunny days, it’s a joy to sit and relax out on the enclosed decked courtyard, accessed via French doors from the living area, where you can sip morning coffee while your pet daydreams about catching some of the local sea birds. There’s also garden furniture on a gravelled spot at the front of the property.
You’ll find a dog-welcoming pub, shops and a fish and chip shop all within 500 metres. While there are some dog restrictions in place on Southwold’s main beach, on the more remote beach at the Denes (0.5 miles) your furry companion will have free rein. The Benacre National Nature Reserve, 5 miles to the north, has plenty of pet-pleasing trails through water lagoons and reed beds, as well as the dog-friendly Covehithe beach which is perfect for a ball-throwing session with your pet.
