This idyllic rural retreat is the perfect place for couples or small groups of friends to spend some quality time together. Your dog will go mutts for it, too – located on a working farm with its own lake plus a river running through, it’s a scent-sniffer’s paradise, with enough to keep them happy for days. Spend a day enjoying this peaceful space.
The lodge has an open-plan layout with plenty of space for relaxing with your pet. Prepare a delicious meal in the well-equipped kitchen then sit down at the dining table, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the beauty of the outside in. Enjoy creature comforts that make you feel right at home, like comfy sofas, a TV/DVD player and a cosy wood burner to keep you and Sadie toasty on cooler evenings. In the enclosed garden, sip morning coffee on the patio while Sadie chews up her holiday bone. On a hazy afternoon, take a tree-lined wander down to the River Thet, or grab some shade in the wooden gazebo by the water.
There are numerous walking paths nearby – take your beloved bundle of fluff for a long walk into the surrounding countryside for an energetic workout. Absorb the charming village atmosphere in East Harling, perhaps popping in a dog-friendly pub for a pint. Head to Thetford Forest (10.5 miles) for a walk or cycle along beautiful woodland trails with a stop for a packed lunch in one of the scenic picnic areas – don’t forget to pack a bowl and some water for your thirsty canine. If you’re holidaying as a larger group, you may choose to make use of two other properties on the site. These can accommodate up to six more humans and two canine chums.
