Four and their canine pal can share special moments at this contemporary terraced home, close to all of Southwold’s family- and pet-friendly attractions.
Part of a historic building that was once a private school, this pretty mews house is perfect for a holiday with friends or family and a four-pawed pal. The holiday mood hits the moment you step into the bright and airy living room, where you can unwind with music or a movie. Adjacent is a kitchen/diner housing all the self-catering must-haves, including a coffee machine for your morning pick-me-up. Rover will love the open-plan layout, which allows him to keep an eye on everyone without having to move a muscle. There is even a dog blanket and his own bag of treats provided. Dog tired after a day of coastal adventures? You’ll be delighted by the choice of two beautiful bedrooms – one a king-size with an en-suite shower room, the other a twin room with its own TV. Completing the home-from-home convenience, there’s a bathroom on the first floor and a separate cloakroom/utility on the ground floor. A small courtyard complete with seating is an ideal spot for al fresco catch-ups, while Southwold Common is just on the doorstep when Fido needs to stretch his legs a little further.
Southwold’s a great place to explore on foot, and well-behaved pets get a warm welcome in many of its boutiques, bars and eateries. Wander across the common and you’ll reach the historic Blackshore and busy harbour where fishing boats still land their catch and an ancient inn serves fabulous locally-produced food and drink. Take the bridge or ride the famous oar-powered foot ferry across the River Blyth to neighbouring Walberswick for more beach, bar and boutique-style fun; once back on the Southwold side you can follow the river to its entrance, then head back towards town along the shoreline. Follow the promenade to the iconic pier for family-friendly amusements and panoramic views of the coastline; the lighthouse will help guide you home.
