  • Bright, spacious rooms and a patio garden with mature planting. Takes two dogs too

Property code: OC-SFTBH

Leave no member of the pack behind when staying in this wonderful dog-friendly holiday home on the brink of the Suffolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Open-plan living awaits the whole family, with French doors leading out into an extensive garden that’s enclosed and secure for children or pets to play in. Laid out on a single-storey, the property invites five guests and three dogs to spend some tail-wagging time together. Spend time exploring the vibrant rural area with rewarding walkies from Snape Maltings (0.5 miles), sniffing out adventure along the River Alde or throwing tennis balls on the beach in Thorpeness (6 miles).

With distinct Scandi decor and calming tones, you’re sure to relax from the moment you arrive at this lovely holiday home. Put feet (or paws) up in the lounge space, a room with comfy seating positioned around a wood burner and a TV to create a cosy vibe for nights in. The kitchen and dining room are also right here in this space, along with patio doors leading to the furnished garden. You can leave your sleeping dogs to lie right here as you head to bed, finding three bedrooms right here on the ground floor. Whilst two bedrooms share a family bathroom, the king-size master bedroom is accompanied by an en-suite.

Pop your pets’ leads on and take a step outdoors, immediately exploring the vibrant countryside of surrounding Suffolk. As well as being a fantastic cultural centre, Snape Maltings (0.5 miles) is a wonderful place to embark on any number of long or short walks, including into Captain’s Wood (3.5 miles) where you’ll find an abundance of wildlife for furry friends to optimistically pursue. Of course, the seaside town of Aldeburgh is an absolute must-visit for fresh seafood and a calming walk along the wonderful, pebbled beach.

A really lovely cottage in a lovely location. Very clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds and plenty of room in the open plan area. Very quiet at night. If you are elderly or disabled, bring your own suction handles for use in the shower. There is quite a step to get in.

We loved our stay at the Blue House. Very comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. The garden was very secure for our two dogs (one of whom is an escape artiste!) We would happily re-book for our next trip to Suffolk.

We enjoyed our stay at the blue house. It was clean and well equipped and the welcome pack was a thoughtful touch. We were thankful for our thick jumpers as the house wasnt very warm.

Well appointed property, sadly a storm took the fence and wall down on the first evening which meant the garden wasn't dog safe.

This property was perfect location and as its all on one level great for less mobile people. Sleeping area separate from living space and therefore nice and quiet for those that like to have a lay-in. It did have everything you would need and a generous welcome gift (wine, biscuits etc).

Very comfortable and quiet location. Beautifully decorated. The only suggestions I would make are: (1) Some reasonable wine glasses are provided - the only ones there were more like thick ice cream sundae glasses and awful to drink out of! Appreciate that glasses are easily broken, but inexpensive ones can be provided. (2) To provide sufficient liqRead moreuid soap in bathrooms / kitchen that hasn't been watered down. These two points seem penny pinching and detract from the otherwise excellent quality of everything. Hide

Unjustifiably expensive, we are restricted as a family by disability so cannot easily go abroad as we used to or we would, rather than pay inflated prices for a UK cottage. That said the cottage was nice, lovely garden. We did have a problem with the hot water but this was resolved very quickly by very pleasant staff.
