Get tails wagging on a romantic retreat to this charming single-level conversion which has been thoughtfully decorated to ensure you and your pup feel at home from the moment you step through the door. Adventure awaits in Snape (2 miles) where you can take on the Sailors’ Path to Aldeburgh (7 miles) for an idyllic footpath along the River Alde with plenty of sticks to fetch along the way.

The open-plan living space is light, bright and cosy with a rustic pair of sofas set in front of a TV with beautiful beams overhead. Behind the lounge area is the corner kitchen featuring a neutral colour palette and a table and chairs to seat two for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When it’s time to head to bed, the double bedroom offers a comfortable place to sleep with pretty views out into the garden with a quirky bathroom with a feature yellow wall next door. There is a shared courtyard outside with a table and chairs for al fresco dining. Please note the outside area is not enclosed.

Located in the rural village of Iken, you’ll find a patchwork of wonderful walking trails on your doorstep, with plenty of history to explore with a number of interesting churches, oast houses and windmills to stop off at. Let your dog lead the way to the sandy dunes of Walberswick Beach in Southwold (19 miles) which is paw-friendly all year round and has plenty of space for humans and hounds to stretch their legs and soak up the coastal bliss. Aldeburgh (8 miles) is also well worth a visit during your stay to stroll the promenade and pick up fresh fish from the fishermen’s huts that line the beach.

We've thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Greenacres is just lovely, and in a perfect spot. We had breakfast on our private patio most days. We were able to explore many of the beaches (all within 20-30mins) as well as Sutton Hoo and Orford Castle. Walking along the river to Snape Maltings (30mins - definitely worth a visit) is so handy and beautiful. ARead morell in all, a wonderful week! Hide

Nice peaceful setting and lovely walk along the water to Snape. The cottage and surrounding buildings would benefit from a major review to make more presentable
