This property has been tastefully decorated throughout, making it a cosy and elegant home-from-home for all guests. Be it a family getaway or a group break for friends, you’ll be able to relax here with ease thanks to the home having everything you need for a comfortable stay. Dogs will also relish a holiday here as the property is just moments away from Southwold’s pretty beach – a great spot for long walks and lots of paddling or sea swims.

Inside, guests have the choice of two stylish living areas when they step in through the front door. You could head to the lounge, perfect for movie nights with your dog curled up at your feet. Or, you could head to the open-plan living and dining area with a large dining table and more sofas. It’s a very sociable space and can open out into the garden via its patio doors. The ground floor is also home to the well-equipped galley kitchen, a handy shower room with a WC, and a utility area which also has access to the garden. Those with sandy feet and paws can towel themselves off here before entering the home. Upstairs are three bedrooms. Two are king-size rooms and the final one is a bunk room. All can share the family bathroom. Outside, the garden is a beautiful space to spend time when the weather allows. You can dine alfresco at the garden furniture. In the summer, guests can use the property’s beach hut at North Beach.

Days out here are easy to fill with entertainment. Dogs are happy down on the sand, or out exploring Suffolk’s countryside. Other guests will love to join them, but there’s plenty to see and do in Southwold too, like its pier, lighthouse and many shops and eateries.

Myself, 2 friends and a dog had a wonderful stay in Bon Amis. The attention to detail was great and we really appreciated the very generous welcome pack. The garden was lovely too and the location was ideal. Thoroughly recommend it for a holiday.

Bon Amis is beautifully decorated and in immaculate order. A lot of thought has gone into the requirements of the guests, even down TVs in two rooms, enabling younger ones to watch programmes that perhaps might not be the choice of the older folk! The bedrooms were well equipped and the beds very comfortable. The two showers, one in the main bathroRead moreom and the other downstairs were very useful in the early morning rush. I could go on to itemise every element within the house but will economise by saying that everything we needed was provided. Outside the terrace is large and well furnished, and below, the garden is a delightful secret and a must for hide-and-seekers! The location is a short 5 minute walk along the wide Pier Avenue pavement to Southwold Pier, and an equally short walk to all the shops via St Edmunds Road and through the well-equipped childrens play park, and past the magnificent St Edmunds church, built in the 15th Century in the Perpendicular style - well worth popping inside, particularly if its really hot outside! The owner of Bon Amis, Sandra, is readily available by text or phone to answer any queries you might have, and is charming. Certainly a five star experience for our group of six, spanning three generations. We highly recommend Bon Amis. Hide

Fabulous location, only a few minutes walk from the centre of town, the pier and beach. Cottage is well equipped and spotlessly clean. Direct contact and welcome pack from the owner was much appreciated. Very comfortable lounge and seating areas, good sized patio and garden. We look forward to returning.

The cottage/house was presented as very clean on arrival, with a generous goodie bag as a bonus, which included items for our nine year old cocker spaniel. The property was very comfortable, which was ideal for our holiday stay, and had everything we could possibly need, and not far from the quaint town, lovely promenade, beach and country walks.

This is a lovely house - very comfortable and a real "home from home". The garden was especially great during the hot days we had. When it turned colder we were unable to work out how to put the heating on in the evening. The instructions for stripping the beds was clearly from covid months. I wondered if they were still necessary?

Bon Amis is up there as one of the most comfortable properties we have stayed in (abs we have stayed in lots!). The house has a lovely airy vibe about it, and although it is on a fairly busy road, we didnt notice the traffic either in the house or garden. It is around a 7 minute walk to the pier, we didnt use the main road, but rather ambled eitheRead morer down the adjacent North Road, or through the nature reserve. Either way you arrive at the putting green near the pier in a short time. The beach hut was a huge advantage and we loved having our own space near the beach. We met our neighbours in the next hut, who were lovely. Everyone we met was very friendly and happy to stop for a chat, whether residents or holidaymakers. We love Southwold and we have stayed a few times. This is the most comfortable accommodation we have had. The owner was welcoming and checked in with us to make sure all was well. Highly recommended comfortable accommodation for our three generations and dogs in this lovely town. Hide
