Property code: OC-SWLO

Homely, cosy and contemporary, this fetching open-plan studio apartment is the ultimate romantic bolthole. Explore the delights of the wild Suffolk coastline and countryside with your four-pawed third wheel before unwinding in style in this chic retreat.

After adventuring around your surroundings, wash muddy pups in the ground-floor shower room before leading the way upstairs to be welcomed into the light and bright open-plan interior. Put your feet up on the pouffe in the comfortable lounge area with its cosy couch as your top dog basks beside you in the sunny spots below the large dormer window. Leave Rover to doze as you get creative in the compact yet well-equipped kitchen and enjoy dining romantically around the dining table with views over the rooftops as your backdrop. As day turns to night, tuck your four-legged friend into their special blanket next to the double bed at the rear of the space, before hunkering down to dream of tomorrow’s adventure. Exercise your playful pup in your private section of the owner’s garden and put your feet up on the wooden bench to soak up your wonderful surroundings.

Peacefully nestled between the River Deben and the River Orwell, the sleepy village of Kirton offers plenty of scenic walking routes rich in wildlife and history. From the countryside to the coast, treat your pup to an afternoon of bounding through 4 miles of golden sand lapped by rolling waves at the seaside haven of Felixstowe, less than 5 miles away. Behind Felixstowe’s sandy stretch, take long walkies down the traditional promenade lined by colourful beach huts before adventuring around Felixstowe’s pier to have a ball discovering the choice of restaurants, cafes and seaside amusements on offer – don’t forget to fetch yourself an ice cream!

It was lovely, the only problem we had was our elderly dog couldn't manage the stairs. He had to stay in the hall all the time.

What a fabulous little place in the beautiful village of Kirton. Swift lodge has everything that you could need, especially for a dog friendly stay. Thanks so much for the milk & eggs on arrival and the dog towel and dog bowls (already filled with water) were a lovely touch. Hopefully our renovation will soon be complete and we won't have the neRead moreed to stay with you again but if we did then we wouldn't hesitate to rebook!! Thanks again Hide

Thank you for a wonderful stay at Swift Lodge and for being so welcoming. We all really enjoyed the long weekend break away. The lodge was perfect for us and our greyhound Rene. Lovely to see the swifts nesting in the boxes, I could hear the young squeaking in the evenings in the garden. Recommend the Sunday Roast at the White Horse pub, was deliciRead moreous and just a 5 min slow walk down the road. Thanks again & we hope to return Hide
