Escape to the coast with your nearest and dearest and your two favourite four-pawed pals in this spacious holiday home in Southwold. Sleeping eight guests, the property is ideal for family get-togethers and holidays with friends, and has a vast, open-plan living area. Enjoy beach and coastal walks from your front door and take day trips to Walberswick and Dunwich (within 10 miles).

The contemporary, three-storey property is full of personality, with eclectic artwork adorning the walls and vibrant soft furnishings bringing colour to each area. The heart of the home is a large, ground-floor lounge/kitchen/diner, with a choice of comfortable seating, an elegant kitchen with granite worktops, and an oak dining table for hosting dinner parties and family celebrations. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open from here, providing easy access to the courtyard garden for your canine pals. Upstairs is a waggy-tail-free zone. Two of the bedrooms – a king-size and a twin, both with en-suite facilities – are located on the first floor, with the remaining bedrooms – a super-king-size and twin - on the second floor. The king-size has en-suite facilities and there’s also a family bathroom. Outside, the enclosed courtyard garden has furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining.

Southwold is an extremely woof-friendly town, with many eateries and shops welcoming four-legged visitors. After a bite to eat, stroll along the promenade, with its colourful beach huts, explore the arcades on the pier, head to the beach (there’s a section that welcomes woofers all year), or catch the ferry across to Walberswick. This pretty village is known for its crabbing, and also has a fantastic dog-friendly beach and excellent surfing conditions. Keen walkers can explore the Suffolk Coast Path, or head to Dunwich Heath (10.5 miles) or Benacre National Nature Reserve (5 miles).

Very comfortable, well equipped property. Extra fridge very useful given local supermarkets are small and have limited range. Garage very useful for bike storage. Would definitely stay at this property again. Close to all local amenities, didnt use our cars all week!

Great location, spacious house, great facilities and a cook's kitchen. Lovely big table to eat outside, plus a huge table in the kitchen so that everyone can eat together.

Beware the gulls! We really enjoyed staying here however the seagulls at 4.25am each morning are a huge nuisance. They sat on the roof to the property itself cawing and shrieking. I know seagulls are local to the area but having stayed elsewhere in Southwold and not experienced this to the same degree, some form of deterrent was a needed. In theRead more meantime, take earplugs! Hide

Really appreciate having more than 8 mugs and plates in the cupboard. Saves having to wash up before you make another drink or meal!! We have been coming to this house for several years now and we all feel its home from home. So thank the property owners for allowing us to share their property with them.

Swallows is a beautiful property located just behind the high street. Everything was of a very high standard and we all commented on how comfortable the beds and pillows were. It really was a property that accommodated the 8 people it sleeps. From the seats at the table, both inside and out. The sofa area and importantly for us, enough wine glassRead morees to go round.
