Book a group stay in Shingle Street in Suffolk and let your canine companion join in the holiday fun. Three separate properties on the farmland site here sleep 10 guests across five bedrooms and share access to a games room, making this the perfect place for a special celebration. With great walks close by and generous gardens for pups to play in, this sizeable hideaway is also a haven for hounds.

Take two steps up to enter one of the cottages and call your pal into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to fire up the wood burner or open the French windows to the garden. Rustle up meals in the kitchen and choose between a ground-floor twin bedroom or a second twin and a king-size, with an en-suite shower room, on a slightly higher level. There is also a family bathroom here. The second bolthole, also entered by climbing two steps, has fabulous, open-plan space to share with your pup. Light the wood burner in here too, open the doors to the garden and feed your hungry hound. Take a few steps up to discover the twin and king-size bedrooms. The twin has an en-suite shower room, and there is a family bathroom. The third cottage has bunk beds and a shower room, and makes a great teenagers’ den. There is a separate, shared laundry room. Sit outside on the decked areas or play games with your four-legged friend outside when you aren’t challenging each other to games of table tennis. There is parking for five cars.

Amble less than 1 mile to the tranquil beach at Shingle Street and enjoy coastal walks. Visit historic Sutton Hoo, 7 miles away, where your furry friend can explore the parkland grounds with you.

Very comfortable, clean, well equipped units. Great location, 10 mins walk from the beach and amazing views. The play barn was a real bonus, loads of games and space for the kids to play - lovely eating area too for big family meals. The owners live on site, very welcoming and happy for the kids to meet the animals and wander round the yards, they Read morespent a couple of hours with them making apple juice. Although the sea isnt recommended for bathing, there is a great lagoon on the beach, which is perfect for swimming and playing Hide

The location is amazing, quiet with the sound of the coastal sea and lovely to hear the wild life. Take the opportunity to look at the night sky, clear view to see thousands of stars and the constellations.

We had an amazing stay at the Owls barns, the hosts were great and took great pride in their barns. We had everything we needed for 3 families and even managed a roast for 12 people. The barns are well kept, warm and have incredible views. The location is brilliant and we enjoyed some great walks. We travelled with 6 children (2 infants) who all loRead moreved their stay and had everything they needed. We would definitely recommend. Hide

Fantastic remote location, with lots of walks nearby. Clean and comfortable cottages, especially the mattress! Within a short drive of a number of things to do, but equally a serene place to stay and relax around nature. We will be back!

A fabulous property for a multi generational holiday. Clean and well equipped in a great location, enough off the beaten track to be peaceful, but not far to go for shops and attractions. The pool was enjoyed by all but not for the faint-hearted. Would definitely recommend it. Our group age range was 4 - 63 and everyone had a great time.

Amazing place with so much to do we didnt leave the place that many times. The pool was a fantastic addition and so much more than we expected. The games room was used by all 10 of us not just for games including pool n fuzeball but also to have picnics in. We loved the sunrise and the sunsets. We would love to visit again in the future
