"Old Mill simply has everything you need for a perfect holiday in Southwold."- Caroline Wakeling

Take your favourite four-legged friend to this impressive property located near the picturesque seaside town of Southwold, on the Suffolk coastline, and find a property perfect for a family or friends’ getaway. Southwold is famous for its iconic beach huts and towering lighthouse. The sandy beach at Southwold has restrictions in place for your pup between 1 April to 30 September, but Denes Beach (0.5 miles) welcomes your hound all year round.

This is a beautiful, contemporary property set out over three floors with soft, calming tones and bright pops of colour in the furnishings in the lounge. The lovely open-plan kitchen/diner has a glass roof which floods the space with natural light and is probably the place your pup will find a favourite spot to call home. The kitchen area has a large central island and plenty of workspaces, making it a delight to cook in. Walk through an archway to access the spacious dining area where you can linger over celebratory meals. The lovely, large sitting room with a wood burner and ample comfortable seating is the heart of the house and perfect for socialising. Or, for quieter moments, there is also a separate drawing room. A games room with Smart TV, table football and a pool table is available for some competitive fun. A twin room and a separate shower room complete the ground floor. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms - two super-king-size and one king-size. All three bedrooms have either an en-suite bath or shower. On the second floor, there is a king-size bedroom and a bathroom. Outside, enjoy the walled garden to the rear with furniture and a BBQ. At the front, there is a smaller garden with lovely views across Southwold Common.

Top dogs will love a day on the beach at Walberswick (1 mile), where you can enjoy kite-flying and surfing. Or walkers can head to the village of Reydon (1.5 miles) and enjoy the scenery and nature on a walk by the River Blyth estuary. Alternatively, the seaside town of Aldeburgh (18.5 miles) offers independent boutiques, galleries, iconic sculptures and eateries selling freshly caught seafood.
