Throw a ball for Lottie the labrador in the beautiful garden at this cottage and watch her race about in the Suffolk sunshine. Sleeping five guests, this three-bedroom hideaway at Bawdsey, 10 miles from Woodbridge, is just 1 mile from the beach where you can stretch furry legs as Lottie races in and out of the waves to her heart’s content.

Give your faithful friend a good rub down before wandering into this Suffolk sanctuary. Take her through to the kitchen at the back of the cottage to give her a good drink of water, serve her dinner and open the back door to let in a summer breeze. When she has had her fill, take her through to the charming lounge and let her flop done on the floor while you watch TV over a cup of tea and slice of freshly baked Suffolk apple cake. Prepare meals for the rest of your party back through in the kitchen too then congregate round the table in the dining area. The family bathroom and a separate WC are also downstairs. When everyone is ready to retire for the night, give Lottie a last stroke and climb the stairs to your own inviting bedrooms. A king-size, a double and a single can all be found on the first floor. Spend as much time as possible with Lottie out in the lovely garden. With so much space to run about, the outside space really is a heaven for hounds. The cottage offers private parking for two cars.

Pack a picnic and take Lottie and her loved ones to the beach at Shingle Street, which is also free of restrictions all year round. Board a dog-friendly ferry over the River Deben to Felixstowe for a fun family day out in the summer months.
