Hear the pitter-patter of paws inside or on the patio when staying in this lovely dog-friendly property, a superb choice in rural Suffolk. The traditional country cottage has been updated to a modern standard, merrily suiting any family of four guests and one four-pawed pal. Benefiting from an absolutely top-dog location, the peaceful property is in an undisturbed location with three country pubs just a walk away (all less than 1 mile) and the beaches of the Suffolk Coast AONB a short drive. Pack up beds, blankets and any other doggy essentials to spend some quality time with the whole pack in the southern England countryside.

Put your best paw forward and enter this attractive two-storey holiday home. The open-plan lounge/diner is a fabulous space to spend those cooler evenings, complete with a working wood burner that Rover will love to curl up in front of. In the summer, you can throw open French doors for access to the garden, safe in the knowledge that any inquisitive pup will be safe in this secure outdoor space. A sunny kitchen completes the ground floor. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms, a double and a twin. The twin has a TV so feel free to put the kids to bed and enjoy some alone time downstairs – with the company of your family’s four-pawed pal, of course.

Head to the coast within 10 miles, parking up and embracing a long walk along the mighty Suffolk Coast Path. Along the way, you’ll pass by pebbled beaches at Dunwich Heath (11 miles) and Thorpeness (10.5 miles), both spots entirely dog friendly. Heading back inland, take a trip to Framlingham (4.5 miles) and enjoy an easy dog walk around this picture-perfect village with its castle and mere to be explored.

The facilities at the cottage were good and beds very comfortable. The basin in the double bedroom was an unexpected bonus.

We had such a good time in the cottage and the area in general. All fixtures and fittings were of a really good quality and apart from egg cups , we didn't want for anything

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful, quiet village. The location is great for exploring all that Suffolk has to offer - castles, beaches and plenty of pubs all within a half an hour drive. The cottage itself is small but perfectly formed. It worked well do us as two adults and two children (6 and 8), we were our most of the day but it was nice to Read morecome back to comfy beds and a cute little living room. We particularly appreciated the friendly neighbour who gave us fresh eggs a few times! Hide

The cottage is cosy, beds are comfy, heating is efficient. There are some issues which require attention to make it better, especially with regard to the appliances.
