  • A charming and characterful barn conversion with a wood burner for cosy nights in

  • The Suffolk Heritage Coast is within easy reach and boasts stunning beaches and scenic walks
Property code: OC-T28303

A large lawn where hounds can zoom around safely makes this beautifully converted barn an appealing choice for friends or families bringing two canine companions. Explore the Broads or the delightful Suffolk countryside and, when you get home, either relax on the patio or snuggle up by the glow of the wood burner as your blissfully tired pups curl up and snooze.

This pretty brick barn with brightly painted door and window frames is a delight. Hang leads and coats in its large hall and stroll into the bright and spacious kitchen/diner, where you can pop your pups’ bowls on the tiled floor. The cook will appreciate the range cooker and, in the summer, you can open the patio doors by the dining table and enjoy the fresh air. The lounge boasts colour-co-ordinated artworks and soft furnishings, and there’s a Smart TV for cosy evenings in, warmed by the wood burner. It’s a comfortable spot for your mutts to take a nap by your feet. One of the three bedrooms – a king-size with rural views – is on the ground floor. The other two are on the first floor – another king-size which boasts a beautiful wooden sleigh bed, plus a super-king-size that has an en-suite shower room. There’s also a family bathroom on the first floor. On warm days, enjoy a morning coffee or sip an aperitif on the large patio while your pups play on the lawn.

The small village of Lound has a village pond, a church with a gilded interior and a dog-friendly pub. Grab the leads and try one of the many country walks nearby, head to Corton Sands, 4.5 miles, for a great run on the dog-friendly beach, or hire a boat and explore the Broads – the River Yare is just 6 miles away.

The place was very nice. Very clean. Ideally situated for all places to visit. Not really geared for 6 people could do with another settee where the table is perhaps.

The cottage itself is lovely, spacious and well designed. We loved the garden and the fact that it was enclosed which is perfect when you bring dogs. Location is great for visiting both Norfolk and Suffolk. We felt however that the property was set up for 4 rather than 6 guests as only 4 chairs round the table and only a small sofa and two chairRead mores in the lounge, non of which were comfy. The mattresses and pillows in upstairs bedrooms were not comfortable. An information book about the property and local area would have been useful as well as additional wine glasses (only one in property!) and BBQ and cushions for outdoor seating would make you want use the lovely garden more. We enjoyed our 3 nights at The Old Cartshed but as we were a party of 5 adults would have struggled with longer due to seating and mattresses. Hide

The cottage was lovely, very clean, close to the coast and places of interest. You need to drive if you want a shop as it was in a rural position. Lovely quiet and peaceful. Great garden for the dog. We enjoyed our stay. There were issues which I have directed to the owner for them to action.

We have just had a lovely week at the Old Cartshed, Lound. The two main bedrooms are huge and very comfortable and there is a downstairs double room which was ideal for the couple with the dogs. The garden is enclosed and ideal for dogs. There is a large wicker seating set, which we made great use of because of the fabulous weather. It is very convRead moreenient for the Broads and other great places on the coast such as Southwold. The local pub is lovely. The kitchen has everything required for cooking lovely meals. Our only complaint, which may have been my fault in not researching properly, is that even though there are 2 bathrooms, only one has a shower in. Very comfortable property. Hide

A pleasant stay in a good location. An ideal base from which to explore the area - easy reach of Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Hemsby. A very spacious and the dog loved it! Wi-fi very good, able to work remotely for a couple of mornings. When the bed broke it was repaired very quickly - thank you.
