DogSouthwoldfriendly

Whether you’re in Southwold for the day or visiting on holiday, if you’re a dog owner, you’ll know how important it is to involve your fourlegged friend in your plans. Luckily, this area offers plenty of dog friendly accommodation, outdoor activities and places to eat or rest weary legs and paws. Here are a few pit-stop suggestions where you and your pooch will be welcomed with open arms.

Beaches

Dogs can dip their paws in the sea and run to their heart’s content on most of the beaches in Southwold and the surrounding area, however there are some seasonal restrictions in place on parts of more heavily populated beaches.

Eating Out

The Sail Loft: This chic cafe/restaurant is just across from the popular Denes beach and offers al fresco dining when the sun shines.

The Harbour Inn: A spacious garden with views towards the common make this a great place to wet your whiskers.

Two Magpies Bakery: This artisan bakery welcomes dogs but is on the cosy side, so is more suited to smaller breeds.

The Randolph: In the heart of the peaceful village of Reydon, The Randolph is just a 15 minute stroll from Southwold. Four-legged friends are welcome in the bar area but with a stunning garden and plenty of outside seating, why not make the most of and soak up the sun.
