Property code: OC-SL123

Let furry feet paddle in the salty Suffolk sea when you stay at this delightful cottage in Southwold. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway is a paw-fect option for a small family or two couples with a canine companion. Capturing sea views, it comes with a courtyard garden and is just 0.5 miles from Denes Beach, which is dog friendly at any time of year.

Follow your waggy-tailed chum inside and let him settle down on the rug in the lounge while you light the open fire after autumn and winter coastal walks. Choose a book from the shelf in here, find a film on the Smart TV or listen to music while you rest weary feet and paws for a while. When it is time to think about the next meal, head through to the kitchen/diner. Feed your hungry hound some of the fresh Suffolk cuts you have sourced for him in town and prepare something tasty for everyone else too. In the spring and summer months, open the door to the courtyard so you can carry a cup of tea and a scone out into the fresh air with your cheerful chum close behind. The family bathroom is also downstairs. Pat your furry friend goodnight and climb the steep, cottage-style staircase up to the first floor. Here, you will find a lovely double bedroom with sea views and a twin that looks over towards the lighthouse. Soak up the sunshine and sea air over breakfast in the courtyard on fine mornings, before heading off on the next dog-friendly adventure. Parking is unallocated and on the street.

Plan a day out to Dunwich, 7.5 miles away. Here, your chum has the freedom of the beach whenever he chooses and you can also explore the National Trust''s colourful Dunwich Heath together.

Cottage was fine but needed a few home comforts. We thought the fridge was a bit dated and we didnt find the freezer until we were ready to leave. A printed sheet about the contents of the cottage would be a plus, we didnt know what to do with the bedding before leaving, so we left it. The stairs are a little steep and confined for anyone with a slRead moreight disability or elderly which should have been pointed out in the advert. Other than this it was a quaint little place to stay in a perfect location. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay. It is a great location and very cosy. Perfect for exploring Southwold and right next to the beach with sea views in the morning. The kitchen is pretty small for cooking for a family of four but not impossible.

Lovely location. Great to get up in the morning and walk just a few yards to the beach and in the opposite direction the Sole Bay Inn was very good. Lighthouse right behind and the light at night felt very reassuring. The cottage is basic but clean. Great for a dog holiday though.

This cottage is delightful. It is clean, cosy and comfortable, and well equipped. This was our second stay here, and it is wonderful to be so close to the sea!

Location was fantastic. Not hugely comfortable, but adequate as weather nice enough to be out most of the day. Would benefit from a few minor touches such as fresh milk on arrival, and newer towels.
