Enjoy seeing the delight on your faithful friend’s face when he arrives at this puppy paradise. Sleeping seven guests, the four-bedroom retreat nestles in gorgeous gardens close to Bramfield, 3 miles from Halesworth. In addition to its setting, with superb footpaths and trails to follow in the surrounding area, it is also within easy reach of the spectacular Suffolk Heritage Coast.
Let yourselves in and head through to the sunny lounge, where you can pull open the doors so your happy hound can pad outside. You can also watch TV or play games in here while he steals a quiet 40 winks before supper. The generous kitchen/diner is the perfect place to prepare meals for hounds and humans and to gather around the table for lively, celebratory dinners. A king-size bedroom, and a twin with en-suite bathroom, are also downstairs, together with a family shower room. Another twin and a single are on the first floor; a family bathroom is also up here. Both twins can be made up as super-king-sizes if discussed at booking. Bask in the sunshine out in the garden on spring and summer days. Play fetch with your chum on the lawn and keep an eye on him and any children near the pond. There is parking here for three cars.
Head 7.5 miles to the coast at Dunwich to leave paw prints in the sand and splash in the shallows. This village, which has an intriguing history as there was once a port here that disappeared beneath the waves, is surrounded by picturesque National Trust land where you and your pal can also stroll. Enjoy a 7-mile walk from Dunwich along the coast to Walberswick and back. Have a day out at dog-friendly Snape Maltings, with its various shops and eateries.
