Property code: OC-80545

Get away from it all with a trip to Suffolk, a true paradise for dog walkers hoping to stretch their legs on long outdoors adventures. Pack your tennis balls to explore the very best of the South East, with the beautiful Suffolk Coast AONB close by and plenty of rural walking routes accessible from your doorstep. Sleeping a pack of six (four humans and two dogs, that is), this property makes the ideal base for walking adventures and a cosy spot for enjoying evenings of resting and recharging.

 

Lovingly decorated with a contemporary style and minimalist décor, this converted stable property offers a warm welcome to yourself and your canine companions. Step inside and discover a generous open-plan living space with lounge and diner, flooded with light thanks to generous French doors. Here you’ll find a cushy L-shaped sofa to sink into whilst browsing the Smart TV, no doubt with Fido and Rover calmy curled up at your feet.

 

Find plenty for your entire ‘muttley’ crew to get up to in the local area, letting your pup take the lead and discovering plenty of walking routes around the property. You might prefer to jump in the car for a trip to the coast, exploring the Suffolk Coast AONB (17 miles) or spending a day on the dog-friendly shingle shores of Thorpeness Beach. Alternatively, a trip to Thetford Forest (25 miles) boasts a stunning day out for both man and dog alike. The local town of Stowmarket (2.5 miles) is well connected with trains to Cambridge and Norwich, perfect for any precious pooch who might prefer a more relaxed day out and about.

This is a nice and well equipped property in an area that lends itself to exploring Suffolk. Anyone with a dog or a problem with dogs should be aware that the owners have a couple of dogs themselves that share the garden area. The nearby trainline wasn't an issue - you could hear a train rumble by from time to time, but this was no problem.

Fantastic place to stay. Stunning interior and kitchen. Open plan was very good for our small group of friends but at the same time was very cosy and comfortable. Bluetooth mirror a big plus for playing tunes. Were quite a few trains passing but we were aqare of this when we booked and they didnt dusturb us too much. Would definately return :)

Fabulous holiday, everything you could need was available with the exception of toilet rolls! Heating was perfect, lovely and warm although the shower could've done with being hotter. Spacious accommodation, lots of room for storage of clothes and wine, wifi was excellent, mirror in the bathroom wowed everyone! Worth noting, there is a train track Read moreat the bottom of the garden (very close) so might be worth bringing earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Would definitely come again :) thankyou Hide
