Dog-Friendly Holiday Cottages for the August Bank Holiday
Make the most of the August Bank Holiday with a coastal escape to Southwold and the nearby Suffolk villages: the perfect spot for families, couples, and their four-legged friends. With long summer days, sandy beaches, and a buzzing holiday atmosphere, it’s an ideal time to enjoy everything the Suffolk coast has to offer.
At Durrants Holiday Cottages, we have a fantastic choice of dog-friendly cottages available for the August Bank Holiday. From spacious family homes to cosy coastal retreats, each property offers comfort, character, and a warm welcome for every member of the family, paws included.
Picture lazy mornings strolling along Southwold’s golden sands, children building sandcastles against the backdrop of the iconic beach huts, and dogs bounding happily along the shoreline. The town’s bustling High Street is full of summer energy, with independent boutiques, cafés, and plenty of dog-friendly spots to stop for a refreshing drink.
A walk to Southwold Harbour is a must, whether you’re trying your hand at crabbing with the kids or taking the dog for a wander by the water. Afterward, treat yourselves to some of the tastiest fish and chips in town at Mrs T’s or the Sole Bay Fish Company — both perfect for al fresco dining on a summer evening.
For more adventure, hop on the foot ferry across to Walberswick. Here you’ll find wide open spaces for dog walks, charming tea rooms, and welcoming pubs serving Adnams ales. It’s also a gateway to the wider Suffolk and Essex Coast and Heaths National Landscape, with scenic walking and cycling routes the whole family can enjoy.
