Property code: OC-C27495

Treat yourself to a holiday in Suffolk. You’ll be staying in a charming lodge on a complex just 100 metres from the dog-friendly beach, so your puppy will be properly pampered. When you return, bubble away in the private hot tub with the rest of your party. This property would suit a mixed group or a family looking for a sociable spot to enjoy each other’s company and get some quality time in the sea with their best canine companion.

Enter the lodge through a patio door and find yourself in a lounge/diner. This is a nice social space where everyone can relax and spend time together, and Fido can curl up on the floor. You’ll get natural light through the floor-to-ceiling window during the day, and at night you can light up the wood burner. Next, there’s a galley-style kitchen, and then a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. This property has three bedrooms: one single and two doubles, each comfortable and with simple, pretty decorations so you can get the best rest. You’ll have an enclosed garden with a wooden fence so the dog can trot around and sniff everything thoroughly. There are spaces for people, too: sun loungers, an outdoor dining area, a swing seat and a BBQ for sunny days, and a hot tub for the evening.

This lodge is part of a complex, so you can make friends with the other holidaymakers, or see them on Kessingland Beach, 100 metres away. There are lots of other attractions around as well, including Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve, 5 miles, where you’ll see plenty of wildlife including barn owls; and Lowestoft, 5.5 miles, a bustling coastal town with a dog-friendly beach, pubs and shops.

Lovely location step out of the property onto the coastal path and onto the all year round dog friendly beach, the view from the property is fabulous you can see the beach and sea and there is also a lovely little garden with furniture to relax on on those hot sunny days. Walk 10 minutes along the beach and you come to a nice little cafe and the SRead moreailors rest pub serving food all day or if you fancy it Fish and chips in the local chip shop. There is also a nature reserve at the end of the beach for those interested, helps to have a car if you want to go exploring nearby towns and villages and the costal towns are fabulous. The property itself needs updating as its tired and the cleaning could have been better, the seating is a bit strange not enough relaxing seating for the amount of people accommodated for but ample if not to much dining seating. There was however everything we needed for our stay plenty of cooking equipment and crockery and the welcome pack was much appreciated and little touches like gift toiletries. We stayed in May when in other parts of the country and some Suffolk towns dont allow dogs on the beach between May- Sept Kessingland beach is an all year round dog friendly beach so ideal for those taking their canine family with them to explore.

Great location directly overlooking the sea. Small issue around wood supply as not clearly stated this was not included but contacted owner who was very helpful and supplied some wood for us straight away.

A well appointed and equipped hideaway with a super sea view and the luxury to lounge in a secure garden. This accommodation is a great base to explore Southwold, Lowestoft and surrounds as well treating yourself to local fish & chips, a pint and cracking off your long ignored reading list. Served us perfectly for a chums catch-up & getaway and theRead more dog was very happy too! Hide

Great location- straight onto the beach in the morning with the puppy was so great. And the kids loved the hot tub! Only 20 minutes from Southwold, well be back!
