Nestled in a quiet, residential area in the coastal village of Pakefield, this cosy charming fisherman’s cottage welcomes up to four guests and one contented canine for adventures beside the sea. An ideal choice for keen walkers and nature lovers, this delightful property is situated on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, so it’s perfect for dipping into both counties. After days scampering on sands, watching wildlife, and ambling round seaside towns, it offers a lovely space to rest and recharge.
Cute as a button and cosy as can be, this coastal abode is bursting with charm. Beamed ceilings, brick fireplaces, wooden floors and latched doors maintain the property’s original character, and ensure a homely and welcoming feel. Wipe down sandy paws and hang up leads in the convenient porch before entering the snug lounge. Leave your faithful friend snoozing in front of the wood burner while you prepare yummy meals for your pack, then gather round the dining table in the kitchen or dine alfresco in the petit courtyard garden. When bedtime calls, two warm and comfortable bedrooms await on the first floor. In keeping with properties of this age, the family bathroom is on the ground floor.
Put your best paw forward as you set off for morning walkies along the sands – your dog will be delighted to learn that Pakefield’s wild and windswept beach is dog friendly year round. Alternatively sniff out adventure along part of the Suffolk Coast Path, or head to Corton Woods for woodland walks amongst nature. Birdwatchers can take their canine companions to RSPB Minsmere and Dunwich Heath (both within 18.5 miles), and if you and your sea dog are craving a traditional day at the seaside, head to Southwold (10.5 miles) or Great Yarmouth (14 miles).
