Property code: OC-AC3

Bring up to two VIPs (very important pups) to this two-bed converted barn to have a ball. Set within a small complex of former farm buildings in Great Waldingfield, you’re perfectly positioned in between the beautiful towns of Sudbury and Lavenham (3.5 miles in either direction). Or just spend all-too-rare quality time with your friends or family in this modern, open-plan accommodation, complete with an attractive shared courtyard for al fresco fun.

This converted barn offers comfortable and stylish interiors with neutral decor and contemporary design throughout. Cook as a team in the kitchen/diner with all you’ll need for self-catering feasts or just sit at the table for four and chat to the chef du jour. The stylish lounge provides a great place to chill out with sumptuous sofa seating and a Smart TV. Solid wood-style flooring downstairs is handy for potentially damp or mucky paws. Sleeping quarters are upstairs, with Velux windows in charming sloping ceilings adding character. Pick between one king-size and one twin (can also be a king-size by arrangement). They share a sleek shower room. Outside, hang out as a pack in the shared gravel courtyard with furniture.

Bridleways and footpaths abound in this rural idyll, so there’s always somewhere you can stride out to appreciate this lovely countryside. The Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty starts within 7 miles of your holiday home from home. Known as Constable Country, head to spots that inspired John Constable to paint, such as The Hay Wain at Flatford Mill (16 miles), now a National Trust property and a great place for walkies. Or mooch with your pooch around the half-timbered gem of Lavenham, a remarkably intact medieval market town. Check out its independent shops and cafes, and grab a bite to eat if you don’t feel like cooking!

This is a beautiful property with a high level of cleanliness. Very modern and bright interior with no road noise. The shared courtyard was great and safe for the dog. Although whilst we were there we did not see any other guests. Outdoor furniture provided including a bbq and dog wash facility. Rural location with shops and dog friendly restaRead moreurants within a 5 minute drive. Highly recommended. The nearby village of Lavenham is a must - with its stunning medieval Tudor properties, tearooms, individual shops, pubs, restaurants etc. Also has a farmers market on the 4th Sunday of the month which was excellent. We visited Jimmy's Farm which is about 30 minutes away and is a great day out for the whole family. Hide
