Find peace and quiet on a stay at this serene Suffolk retreat in the countryside which retains much of its original charm which is paired with modern flair. Families travelling with their four-legged friends will be thrilled by the array of local walking routes through woodland and beside waterways, whilst the seaside town of Southwold (9 miles) is within easy reach for coastal adventures.

As you step inside, the hall leads through to the characterful living room with its exposed brick fireplace and wood burner, as well as a selection of armchairs and a sofa for relaxing evenings spent watching films. Moving into the kitchen, a deep navy colour palette pulls the luxurious yet unique space together where you can cook up a storm for the family and serve it up on the bench-style dining table. A door next to the table leads directly out into the enclosed garden where your hounds can run and play. One bedroom and a WC can be found on the ground floor, furnished with a small double bed offering sleeping space for two if needed. Upstairs are a further two bedrooms, one a double with an iron bed frame, and the other a playful twin bedroom. Completing the property is a fabulous family bathroom with a wallpapered ceiling, a freestanding bath and a separate shower cubicle.

A visit to Walberswick (11 miles) Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is sure to set tails wagging with its patchwork of terrain from sandy dunes to marshland ensuring there are plenty of interesting scents to sniff and sticks to fetch. An enchanting coastal path runs between Southwold and Walberswick, beside the River Blythe which stretches for around 3 miles on the Suffolk Coast Path which has a fantastic dog-friendly pub on its route for a chance to refuel.

This is a beautifully decorated, comfortable cottage. Because it is old and quirky, there are a few steps to navigate. As a dog owner the garden and incredibly close field walk were just wonderful for Lettie our cavapoo.

I rented this cottage for myself and my dog. I come to Halesworth twice a year and like to see friends and relatives and have some overnight guests. This cottage suited me well. It is at the end of Chediston Street, well positioned for good country walks, but still only a ten minute or less walk into town, and probably about fifteen to the station.Read more The house is delightfully quirky and on a number of levels so there are a lot of short stairways, and quite low ceilings. The garden is enclosed and was safe for my dog. The owners live next door and I found them friendly and helpful. Hide

This is one of the most disappointing properties we have stayed in. All of the linen needs replacing - its old and tired - duvets, pillows, duvet covers, pillowcases and towels. The china is sparse, mismatched and some of it is chipped. The cutlery cheap and the knives blunt. We texted a question to the owners when we arrived on the Saturday about Read more7pm and we received a reply at 9.30am the following morning. Poor. The cottage has numerous cobwebs on light fittings throughout and the ground floor bedroom is gloomy. This cottage is described as quirky - we know Suffolk very well and have stayed in quirky places - none have been like this. We would not recommend. Halesworth, however, is a perfect location for visiting many of the beautiful places around. The fenced garden is good for dogs and the hot water and heating efficient. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm that we will discuss this with the owner. Hide

Internal layout very confusing as kitchen equipment in two separate areas which makes it time consuming. Downstairs has 3 levels. No complaints regarding decor.

This is an amazing place to stay. We loved the quirkiness and decor of this well-equiped character cottage. Whilst it is located in a quiet area, it is close enough to walk into town or enjoy some beautiful countryside walks too. The enclosed private garden is a real bonus, especially if you have dogs. The off-road parking is convenient. If you'Read morere over 5' 10", be prepared to duck through doorways! We would definitely stay again if we are returning to the area. Hide

This is an incredible find which we liked so much we have now stayed here twice. Perfectly located on the outskirts of a charming village yet on a quiet one way street void of any traffic to speak of but also within short walking distance to the village centre. Off street parking, which I personally find very important, is available at this house.Read more Beautifully furnished and decorated to a high standard.

One of the most beautiful and quirky cottages we have ever stayed in. Some internal steps to cope with so may not suit everyone but to us, it was perfect. The attention to detail and quality of furnishings and decor is excellent.

Great to have a parking space albeit a little tricky to manoeuvre to start with but very soon got used to it and no problems (we have a Maxda CX30 as a guide).

A very cosy cottage with all necessary equipment. We found it extremely warm but the owners kindly took the secondary glazing units down to allow for fresh air to circulate. Lovely decor and a short stroll to the village. One parking space but extra parking on street nearby. Very dog friendly. Would recommend to other guests.
