An airy coastal property with a secluded courtyard-style garden, nestled in the charming seaside town of Southwold. This light-flooded coastal retreat is a wonderful escape for families or groups of friends and their favourite waggy-tailed pal. Soak up the laid-back ocean atmosphere with the dog-loving locals at a cosy cafe in the heart of Southwold (just under 500 metres), before curling to unwind on the padded bay window seat.

This inviting property features a relaxing interior with breezy blue tones, intricate original fireplaces, and coastal design touches. Dry soggy paws at the door then venture into the kitchen/diner. Prepare some meaty treats for your pup in the bespoke Shaker-style kitchen then perch at the locally crafted wooden worktops to pour a post-adventure drink. Gather around the handcrafted bench-style table for a celebratory family feast. Retire to the cosy lounge to sneak a post-dinner snooze in the crackling glow of the open fire or unwind with a film on the Smart TV. Completing the ground floor is a wet room – handy for freshening up extra-mucky pups. Ascend the staircase to find three elegant bedrooms, each with crisp linens, coordinating soft furnishings, and peaceful views. When morning breaks, prop open the stable door to watch Fido sniff in the salty ocean air from the patio while you sip a morning brew.

Doe-eyed dogs are sure to receive a scratch behind the ears as they saunter along the bustling Southwold Pier (just over 0.5 miles), dotted with refreshing water bowls for parched pups. Four-pawed drink connoisseurs can peruse the selection of beers at the local brewery (within 100 metres) before enjoying a scamper along the dog-friendly section of sand at Southwold Beach (0.5 miles).

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 king-size zip-and-link (can be made up as twins on request), 1 king-size and 1 single
  • 1 ground-floor wet room with walk-in shower and WC, 1 bathroom with shower over the bath and WC

This is a wonderful cottage in a wonderful location in Southwold. It is cosy, comfortable and a real home from home. We have already booked again for later this year.

This property is super central. Literally less than 5 minutes walk from the high street. You will hear the church bells chime on the hour, which we thought added to the charm. The lounge is really comfy and has a lovely real fire for the winter months. We really enjoyed staying here.

We found the cottage to be in an absolutely perfect area, near the church and across from a small green area with trees and benches. It was an extremely short walk down a footpath opposite our cul-de-sac and also a very short walk to the sea. There were five adults and we all found the beds comfortable and the area quiet. We liked the various piRead morectures and ornaments around the cottage. We had a delightful stay in Southwold. Hide

We had a lovely week in Southwold - great location for the park, beach and high street. The cottage suited us well - good space for 3 kids and useful to have the second bathroom. Spacious kitchen and real bonus.

Apostle Cottage is a lovely cottage. It's very well decorated and furnished and in a great Location. Probably the best cottage I've stayed in in Southwold over the many years I've been visiting.

Normally I wouldn't leave a review but feel this needs to be said as the property isn't the cheapest holiday rental. It's a lovely house, great location but let down by the tired, uncleaned interior / exterior ( porch and courtyard) on arrival. This may have been a one off, but it's enough for us to mention and say, we wouldn't return unless soRead moreme effort to improving this was made. The interior tiredness / cleanliness points to the downstairs mainly, upstairs the bathroom and master bedroom we're more acceptable. Hide
