Dog-Friendly Summer Cottages
It’s no secret that summer is the most popular time of year to visit Southwold. With bright blue skies, long evenings with family and friends, and plenty of adventures to enjoy with your dog, it’s easy to see why a Southwold summer is so special.
We offer a wide selection of dog-friendly holiday cottages across Southwold and the surrounding villages, ideal for your summer staycation. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a couples’ escape, or a coastal adventure with your four-legged companion, we have the perfect cottage for you. From spacious dog-friendly townhouses to cosy apartments with sea views, we’ll help you find your ideal summer retreat.
What better way to spend your holiday than building sandcastles with the little ones while your four-legged friend splashes in the shallows, all with the backdrop of Southwold’s iconic candy-coloured beach huts (you can even hire your own)? Buckets and spades, classic British ice creams, and long walks along the golden sands make for a perfect family day at the beach, paws included.
Southwold’s High Street comes alive in the summer months, with boutiques full of holiday essentials, cafés serving iced coffees, and plenty of dog-friendly spots to rest and refresh along the way.
Take a stroll down to Southwold Harbour with your crabbing lines and buckets, or wander along the water’s edge with the dog by your side. Afterward, enjoy some of the tastiest fish and chips in town at Mrs T’s or the Sole Bay Fish Company, where outdoor seating makes it easy to bring your pet along.
Hop on the foot ferry across to Walberswick, another charming Suffolk destination, perfect for dog walks through unspoilt landscapes, rambles across open heathland, and wildlife spotting. With welcoming pubs serving Adnams ales, cosy tea rooms like the Tea Shed and the Parish Lantern, and endless walking routes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
