  • Unwind together surrounded by wildlife at this romantic, rural retreat on the Norfolk and Suffolk border
  • Incredibly dog-friendly with a large, enclosed garden 
  • Characterful open plan living with wood burning stove creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere
Property code: OC-M33974

Energetic hounds can run and run in the spacious, enclosed garden of this converted barn – and there’s even a dedicated dog-exercise field too. Full of character and with a welcoming wood burner, this chic hideaway is a peaceful rural retreat for two humans plus a pair of furry friends in the South Norfolk countryside.

Follow your pups through the doors of this delightful single-storey home, and admire the vaulted ceiling and rustic beams that create real wow-factor in the open-plan living space. The wood burner adds an inviting glow, and patio doors allow light to flood in while framing a lovely view of the garden. Settle your pals in their beds as you get creative in the high-quality kitchen, which is equipped with a microwave and a dishwasher for convenience. After supper in the dining area, sink into the inviting armchairs by the Smart TV, ready for the ultimate in relaxing evenings. The king-size bedroom is styled in natural, neutral tones and includes ample storage, and the sleek bathroom offers the choice of a refreshing shower or a soak in the bath. The huge, private garden is another major attraction, and includes not only a raised deck, furnished for al fresco dining, but also a lawn where four-pawed friends can chase their tails. You’ll also have access to a field where dogs may run endlessly. Private parking is provided for two cars.

The cottage is located in the charming village of Dickleburgh, where there’s a shop and a dog-friendly pub. Clip on the leads and head for a walk at Redgrave and Lopham Fen, 9.5 miles away, a national nature reserve that’s home to abundant wildflowers, birds, mammals and invertebrates, or head to the coast for tail-wagging runs on long, sandy beaches – Southwold and Walberswick are both less than 27 miles away.

We enjoyed a very relaxing few days in this beautiful and quiet lodge. The owners were very welcoming and the lodge was of a very high quality and very clean with every need catered for. We were so impressed with everything that we have booked to return later in the year.

This was the best place we stayed in. We have been going on holiday in the UK over 30 years and the Mulberry Lodge was by far the best. The greeting hamper was also a very nice touch and all the accessories for dogs.

This is truly one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. It has a lovely rural setting. It's a short walk to the 100th Bomb Group at Thorpe Abbots, we'll worth a visit. We can also recommend a day out to Southwold. Michelle & Nick have created a beauty Lodge with everything for you and your pooch(even spare leads!) Lisa & Howard

We had a lovely 5 night stay at Mulberry Lodge & cannot recommend it enough. Everything in the lodge has been perfectly thought out to ensure a relaxed & pleasant stay from the moment you enter the premises. The lodge is immaculate, we were greeted with a beautiful welcome hamper, both for us and our little dog as well as extra touches such as Read morebottled water & toilet roll meant we didnt have to rush out to shop for our stay. From soft fluffy towels in the bathroom to high quality bedding, its all touches we appreciated greatly. Michelle & Nick really made us feel welcome & valued as guests, they let us know they were to hand for anything needed but gave us privacy to come and go as we pleased. Having a completely enclosed garden surrounding the lodge is perfect if you have a dog. Theres also an enclosed paddock to use should you wish to. Located within easy reach of some lovely dog friendly pubs & eateries - we used our car due to the winter weather but even the continuous rain didnt damped our stay in any way. In fact we loved going out and about visiting nearby towns/villages then returning to Mulberry lodge and making use of the wonderful log burner for cosy evenings. We would return in a heartbeat - if you want a peaceful break this is a little gem! Thank you Michelle & Nick for our perfect stay! Hide
