Return from scenic walks with your delighted dog to luxuriate in the comfort of this exquisite Suffolk character cottage. Sleeping just two guests, but also welcoming a canine companion, the one-bedroom bolthole, which has a charming outdoor seating space, makes a perfect base for those hoping to explore the area with a hound at their side.

Open the front door and make your way into the comfortable Edwardian retreat, leaving the lead in the hall and taking your pup through into the kitchen/diner. Top up his water bowl in here, feed him his dinner and start preparing a romantic meal for you and your loved one to enjoy later, as you watch a little TV. Make your way up to the first floor of the cottage to find the lounge, which has another TV and wonderful views out across your surroundings. Relax in here with your furry friend after your exciting adventures together. Open the doors to the balcony on summer days. There is also a family shower room, separate WC and super-king-size bedroom with TV and en-suite bathroom, at this level. This bedroom can be made up as a twin by prior arrangement. A second lounge, with a desk and extra TV, can be found on the top floor, up steep, cottage-style stairs. Have breakfast out in the fresh air on sunny days, while your contented canine keeps you company. There is parking for one car at the cottage.

The cottage is very nice overall and its in a lovely part of the country. The views out of the back of the property are also nice. The place is comfortable and the welcome pack is very thoughtful. The location is conveniently situated to explore the lovely South Suffolk coast. Also, the roads are pretty quiet and nice for cycling.

A lovely ,well presented and cosy cottage. We especially enjoyed the upstairs quiet room and large bedroom. We really appreciated the power showers and the generous welcome pack of good groceries. The walk from the door footpaths were delightful and the short walk to the Maltings very convenient. Aldeburgh was a scenic 4 mile walk away along the SaRead moreilors Path or a few minutes drive. Overall a lovely week. Hide

This is our 2nd stay at Albion House and have thoroughly enjoyed both visits. Everything is provided for your needs and comfort. The bedroom is very spacious, good sized bathroom with bath with shower, and a separate shower room besides. There is also accommodation in the attic room. It is spotlessly clean and if you enjoy reading, it's a book loveRead morers paradise. The hosts left a very nice generous welcome pack. As we are regular visitors to Suffolk, we intend to book 2 weeks at the same house next year. The hosts are lovely too. We can thoroughly recommend it. Hide

A great place to stay and explore from, location was perfect with great food and places to walk within minuites of the cottage. If your looking for a quirky and cute place this has that. Road was a little busy, but you sleep at the rear so this was not a problem and the views from the back are great.
