Head off on long walks with your faithful friend, play fetch in the garden or simply enjoy the peace and quiet together when you stay at this canine-friendly retreat in Iken, Suffolk. The delightful, two-bedroom cottage sleeps four guests and nestles in excellent, dog-walking country. Set within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is well-placed for following footpaths that your happy hound will adore.
Call your chum inside, leave your boots and his lead in the hall, and head into the elegant lounge to unwind together for a spell. Lay a fire in the wood burner in here on colder days, watch TV in the evenings or read your book while your contented canine stretches out on the carpet. Unpack any fresh Suffolk produce you have bought in the kitchen and dish up doggie dinners in here too. Lay the table in the dining room for the human members of your group. There is also a WC downstairs. Two staircases lead up to the bedrooms: climb one to the super-king-size room with an en-suite bathroom featuring a free-standing bath, or make your way up to the other to lay your head in the twin, which has an en-suite shower room. While away summer afternoons playing with your pup in the garden and sizzling supper on the BBQ. There is space to store cycles and ample parking at the property.
Take your pal on walks beside the River Alde. Head 8.5 miles to Aldeburgh and follow the Suffolk Coast Path for about 8 miles to Dunwich. In Anglo-Saxon times, and until it was immersed by the sea during a storm, this was a busy port and the capital of the Kingdom of the Eastern Angles. Today there is a dog-friendly beach and pub here.
