Property code: 83463

Book a couples break with a difference and choose the beautiful Suffolk countryside as your staycation destination, bringing along your beloved hound to join in your adventures. You’ll be located just 5 miles from Stowmarket with its exciting Museum of East Anglian Life, thriving antique scene and a bustling marketplace. Utterly secluded with impressive vistas of the surrounding countryside, your cosy abode has plenty of choices when it comes to walkies. Let Rover take the lead and discover the winding rural trails nearby, bringing along a picnic hamper stuffed with goodies.

Sleek and sophisticated with an overarching contemporary decor, this impressive former barn is a great base for relaxing with your waggy-tailed companion. Rustle up hearty meals in the stylish kitchen/diner for romantic evenings in. Sunlight streams in through the floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors in the lounge, and upstairs you’ll discover another snug seating area ideal for snoozing. Step outside for an al fresco breakfast whilst your curious pup sniffs scent trails through the dew, and on sunny evenings the BBQ is a treat for sizzling up something tasty.

Step back in time with a visit to the museum that’s studded amongst 75 acres of woodland, riverside trails and farmland. The streets of Stowmarket are humming with activity, so why not pause to watch street performers, catch a show at the theatre and pick up some souvenirs from national and independent shops? Bury St Edmunds also offers retail therapy in abundance 20 miles away, as does Ipswich 15.5 miles away. For those who can’t resist the lure of the sea, the Suffolk Heritage Coast is well worth the 30-mile drive simply to enjoy the shingle-strewn beach and pretty Nature Reserve at Orford.

Beautifully furnished and equipped cottage. We would certainly recommend it. Lovely pubs and villages all around . Bit of a trek to the coast because of the windy roads but a very restful retreat for a quiet break.

Willow Barn is an excellent location for getting away from it all. Its location in the countryside overlooking paddocks with sheep is very relaxing and set up brilliantly for dog owners with a secure fenced garden enabling your dog to mooch around. The facilities are first rate with shops only a eleven minute drive away.

The perfect stay in beautiful surroundings. The property is spotlessly clean and tidy. The kitchen had all the utensils and equipment you could wish for, which combined with the BBQ, made self-catering a doddle. The garden is completely fenced which meant we could relax knowing our inquisitive Cockapoo would not escape! We were blessed with fantastRead moreic weather, but felt that even on a cold wet day, the cottage would be cosy. Linda is so friendly and welcoming, and even gave us a bag of wool! Hide
