Set in the rural village of Friston with fantastic access to miles of walkways and heathland, this special part of the UK is a perfect getaway spot for outdoor enthusiasts and their hounds. Great for groups and large families, this charming contemporary cottage is a lovely base for escapism in the country.
When you first walk into this property, you’ll be welcomed by a vast living area, with two plump corner sofas offering a great space to catch up with family and friends. Gather around the roaring wood burner on chilly nights and watch your contented canines stretch out in front of the glow. Floor-to-ceiling bi-folding doors usher lots of light into this airy space, and lead to a cute patio area where pups can wander in and out as they please. Cook up culinary creations in the well-equipped kitchen before congregating around the large table to toast to your holiday. Find you also have a wet room and walk-in shower for the aftermath of rolling around in the mud. When you’re full and sleepy, head to one of the many neutrally decorated rooms for a good night’s sleep. Find one of the king-size bedrooms downstairs or go to the first floor to lay your head in a super-king-size or twin room. The bedrooms are beautifully presented and cosy due to the gable walls. Out the back, this excellent space encourages four-legged friends to burn off steam or for you to enjoy your morning cup of coffee.
Located in the heart of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you’ll never be short of places to explore. Grab the dog leads and check out the surrounding area, rich in wildlife and woodlands, just a few metres from the property. If you fancy running the dogs ragged on the beach, head to the quirky seaside town of Aldeburgh, 4.5 miles away, which boasts independent shopping, dog-friendly eateries and a 250m promenade that gives showstopping views out to sea.
