Gather your pack for a holiday in a lodge. This property is part of a larger lodge complex, so you can take a group or just your nearest and dearest, plus a canine companion. You’ll be close to a dog-friendly beach, so prepare to paddle at all hours, and when you’ve had enough, come back and warm up in your own private hot tub.

The patio doors lead to a lounge/diner. The social space is great for relaxing, socialising and eating, and it gets lots of natural light through the large window. There’s a wood burner to make the evenings cosy. The galley-style kitchen connects for your convenience. After a long day on the beach, shower the salt and sand off in the family bathroom, which has a shower over the bath. You’ll have two bedrooms, a double and a single, with subtle nautical touches for a personal, homely feel. This property has a garden, secured with a wooden picket fence, where your dog can play and sniff around, while you enjoy the swing seat, cook up a storm on the BBQ or bubble in the hot tub.

You’ll have plenty of options for activities around the lodge. There are two nearby nature reserves: Benacre National Nature Reserve, 5.5 miles, which has lots of lagoons, and Carlton Marsh Nature Reserve, 5 miles, where you can find migratory birds. Both are great for long walks with Fido. The nearest beach is Kessingland Beach, 100 metres from the property, and there are more options around. If you fancy a day out in a coastal town, try Lowestoft, 5.5 miles away, which has fish and chips, dog-friendly pubs and beaches, and Ness Point, which marks the most eastern point of the UK.

We were looking for a relaxing holiday with our dog, which this provided perfectly. Nice enclosed garden, just a few steps down to the dunes and beach, which you overlook from the garden. Quiet location which was what we wanted, we were able to let our dog off on the dunes. Pub and good fish & chip shop plus another restaurant just a short stroll aRead moreway. Restaurant dog friendly outside, pub dog friendly inside and out. Would definitely come back. Hide
