Luxury lounging awaits in this fabulously rural country cottage, a perfect place to stay for pet-loving holidaymakers. Fill your days with endless dog walks and sight-seeing excursions when staying here, heading home each evening to soak away aching muscles and warm up frosty toes (and paws) in this 5-star, single-story holiday let. Situated on a quiet country road, this lovely accommodation choice provides an entirely undisturbed place for two guests and one dog to stay, simply perfect for leaving busy everyday life behind and getting fully rested in peaceful surroundings.

Let Rover lead the way as you venture inside, stepping in to find underfloor heating that’s a delight through colder months. Your doting doggo will adore having their two masters close by in the open-plan living space, a generously appointed room with a contemporary style kitchen, ample dining space and comfortable seating for lounging. The warming wood burner is a lovely addition, so throw a log or two on and watch your four-pawed pal bagsy the cosiest sleeping spot by the fire. Having set out on long walks, your aching muscles will be crying out for a sumptuous bath. In addition to the family shower room, the king-size bedroom presents a decadent roll-top bath next to bi-folding doors and awe-inspiring scenery.

Lace up your walking boots and pack a fresh tennis ball to set out and explore the surrounding countryside. Explore the Clare Castle Country Park (8 miles) and plenty of circular walking routes around this pretty area, or head to Melford Country Park to admire the pretty scenery (12.5 miles). For older pups who are less up to strenuous days of walking, day trips to Cambridge (24 miles), Bury St Edmunds (9.5 miles) and Colchester (30 miles) are all certain to set tails wagging.

Beautiful place in a stunning location. Very peaceful and we had a lovely 5 night break. The wood burner helped make it even more cosy. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to come back in the summer.

The Old School House is a fantastic property to stay at. It is very relaxing with impressive countryside views all round, we even saw a barn owl in the back garden. We loved our stay here. The only slight issue we had was with the property draining system but I believe the owners are aware of the problem and are planning to fix it.

Absolutely stunning property in a gorgeous location! We were sad to leave! Furnishings are extremely well done, the bed was super comfortable and the views outside were amazing! There were also a fair few walks nearby including one which we did from the end of the lane. It wasnt too far a drive to get into town and we were lucky enough to be aroundRead more on a weekend where a local event was taking place in a nearby field to partake in candy floss and watch a bit of Morris dancing! We will definitely be coming back in future and Ive already recommended the place to just about everybody who will listen. Thanks for providing a home away from home! Hide
