This charming period cottage in the historic market town of Woodbridge is the perfect choice for dog-lovers who want to share a holiday in beautiful Suffolk with their pet. The Grade II-listed property, sleeping four guests and one canine companion, is full of character, with original beams throughout. Located in the heart of Woodbridge, the cottage is ideally placed for lovely walks beside the tidal River Deben. There is a wealth of woodland paths in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and world-famous Sutton Hoo is just 3 miles away.
The light-filled cottage is a peaceful retreat, with comfortable seating in the living room and a wood burner set in an exposed brick chimney breast. Books, lamps and pictures add a homely touch. In the spacious, farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, humans and pets can bask in the warmth of an AGA in the winter months. Upstairs are three delightful bedrooms: a king-size, a double and a single, with characterful sloping ceilings, white bed linen and pine furniture. A door from the kitchen leads to a pretty, enclosed courtyard garden with patio furniture.
Enjoy a browse round lively Woodbridge, where you’ll find weekly markets, a fascinating museum and a great range of independent shops. Visit the town’s historic Tide Mill on the river bank to see sustainable green energy at work as it produces stoneground wholemeal flour. Well-behaved pups can visit the mill’s first floor, at the warden’s discretion. Discover the amazing story of a fabulous Anglo-Saxon treasure trove at the National Trust’s Sutton Hoo. Explore beautiful walking trails in the surrounding 245-acre estate, but please keep pets on a lead, as sheep graze here. Enjoy more scenic walks in Rendlesham Forest (7.5 miles) .
