Three guests and a lovely dog can spend time in this cosy Long Melford cottage, an entirely pet-friendly place in the Suffolk countryside. With an endless array of enjoyable walkies routes from your doorstep, a stay here offers a true escape to the country and a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You’ll no doubt feel like a top dog as you wake up each morning in this quiet village location, stepping out into the pretty shared garden for a morning coffee as your sleepy pup begins to stretch its legs.
Complete with romantic textures and traditional decor, this cottage is brimming with countryside charm. Having returned home from a long dog walk and a game or two of fetch, step into the cosy lounge. Whether you’re curling up on the sofa or warming your toes (or paws) by the flames, this room offers a truly inviting space to spend your evening. Adjacent is the kitchen with a breakfast table and access to the rear patio and garden, a shared space where dogs should be supervised. You’ll also find a family bathroom on the ground floor. Ascend steep cottage steps to reach the bedrooms which are made up of a double and single.
With your dog on their lead and your walking boots tied up, wander along the Melford Walk, a pretty route along an old railway line and through a wooded valley. This route leads to Melford Country Park (2 miles), a vast green space where games of fetch can be enjoyed in abundance. Around the village, Rover can also lead the way along The Hare Walk, a 7-mile route passing Kentwell Hall (1 mile), and the 5-mile Nethergate Walk via scenic Cuckoo Tye (5 miles).
