Property code: OC-AMCO

Cute, contemporary and coastal, you’ll go mutts for this family cottage tucked away in the heart of bustling Southwold. With miles of golden sand and a picturesque seafront to explore with your canine companion, just a stick’s throw away, it’s a great base for a memorable seaside holiday with your whole pack.

After discovering your seaside surroundings, lead the way into the open-plan kitchen/diner to rustle up a delicious locally sourced meal as your four-legged friend curls up on the hearth of the ornamental fireplace. As the evening draws in, hunker down on the plush sofa in the cosy lounge to enjoy the ultimate family film night around the Smart TV or plan tomorrow’s walkies from the feature wall showcasing a unique mural map of Southwold and its fabulous coastline. Before bed, wash off mucky pups in the shower or soothe weary walking muscles with a long soak in the bath in the family bathroom. Tuck your top dog into their special blanket before enjoying a good night’s sleep in either the twin bedroom or the king-size bedroom, both featuring the same coastal theme as the rest of the cottage.

The vibrant seaside haven of Southwold is the jewel of the Suffolk Heritage Coast, offering miles of golden sand and a beach hut-lined promenade less than a mile away that you’ll go mutts for. Get stuck into this fabulous coastline by discovering Southwold Pier less than half a mile away with your canine companion to dig into a selection of excellent restaurants, cafes, shops and an amusement arcade. You and your top dog can join the trail along the banks of the River Blyth on foot or two wheels to be rewarded by stunning riverside views and a footpath across the estuary to Walberswick (1 mile).

Kitchen saucepans etc need to be improved, not sufficient when cooking for four. Sofa very uncomfortable especially for people not overly tall.

This property is in a fantastic location between the high street and the common. We were disappointed by the general standard of equipment, pans scratched, chipped plates, most of the mugs and glasses were dirty and had to be washed before use. The main bathroom shower needs repairing, mentioned by a guest 5 months ago, some towels mismatched andRead more rather threadbare. While welcome packs are nice, not essential, here there wasn't even some milk in the fridge for a cuppa after a long journey. We felt as if we were not particularly welcome more that the owner felt "everything would do" for folk on holiday. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review, the equipment mentioned has now all been replaced and the shower repaired. Milk is also provided in our welcome packs. The owner has been made aware of the comments and the relevant issues rectified. Hide

Lovely apartment in a quiet cul de sac close to the town. Very comfortable with 2 large double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms so perfect for 2 couples. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed sitting around the kitchen table for meals.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location close to the town centre and the Common (great for dog walking and views). Be aware that the owner provides a minimum of basics so do bring plenty with you - toilet rolls, hand soap, dishwasher tablets etc. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review.

Very quiet and comfortable house. Was worried about no garden, but dogs loved the common and it wasnt an issue. Parking outside occasionally an issue but always space on the common when needed. We were very comfortable in the house.
