Retreat to Great Waldingfield and enjoy precious time with your other half and up to two lucky pups. After all, we know any holiday just isn’t the same without them! Part of a small complex of former farm buildings, this one-bed bolthole offers practical open-plan living and all any couple or young family needs to switch off completely. With a shared courtyard garden, you and your furry friends will love the inside-outside feel of this charming property. You’d be barking mad not to explore some of Suffolk’s finest towns or villages nearby with their ancient half-timbered houses.
This converted barn offers comfortable accommodation on one level with stylish and neutral decor throughout. The lounge/kitchen/diner is open-plan but works brilliantly, with the comprehensive kitchen and table for two at one end of the space, separated by a kitchen counter and the front door. The lounge provides a great place to put your feet up after a hard day’s exploring and solid wood-style flooring throughout is handy for potentially damp or mucky paws. At bedtime (or nap time!), head for the elegant king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Outside, there’s a shared gravel courtyard with furniture where your pups can play in the sunshine.
Lead the way to adventure with plenty of long walks on rural footpaths and bridleways almost literally from your doorstep. This country retreat is placed between two Suffolk gems of Sudbury (3.5 miles), the birthplace of Gainsborough, and Lavenham (3.5 miles) which is also known as one of England’s best-preserved medieval towns. Both offer history, independent shops, eateries and cafes. Visit the National Trust’s fascinating Melford Hall (4 miles), where you can stroll through beautiful gardens and parkland. Dogs are welcome in the park. Plan walks through the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, also known as Constable Country for its links to the famous artist
