With idyllic views over the River Alde, this charming country barn boasts a relaxing family stay in the once-renowned fishing village of Iken. Known for its herring, salmon and sea trout, the stunning retreat of Iken is ideal for a sleepy holiday sniffing out new walking trails with the pups. Tails will be wagging at the thought of curling up in this gorgeous cosy cottage.
Step inside this character cottage to an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, decorated with exposed wooden beams and country-style furnishings – perfect for cuddling up to your two-legged and four-legged friends. Curl up with a novel in one of the pillowy sofas, or snooze by firelight where canine companions will love having toasty furry tummies. A great space for socialising, the kitchen has everything you could need to whip up a storm for you and your pups before gathering around the dining table with an open bottle. For extra convenience, there is a washing machine in the kitchen for rinsing those muddy dog coats after a long stroll on the beach. All set on the ground floor, mosey along to the exposed-brick bedrooms, where a good night’s sleep will be had by all. Outside, sip your morning coffee at the table and chairs on the open patio, while Fido and Rover do their morning stretches or enjoy the greenery in the gardens shared with the other homes on site.
If you can tear yourself away from the cosiness of this property, then grab your pooches'' leads and walk along the River Alde. Follow the scent to the Iken Canoe, less than 1 mile from the cottage and sure to get the blood pumping for water sports enthusiasts. A beautiful Heritage Site, Snape Maltings, is just 2 miles from the property and is home to converted Victorian buildings, and the world-famous concert hall. You can also top up the dog treats and pick up the essentials while you’re there from the independent grocers, shops, and dog-friendly eateries.
