style while admiring acres and acres of rolling countryside. Sleeping six and one four-legged friend, this property has been lovingly renovated to provide a special stay for a large family or group of friends.

Inside this idyllic rural retreat, the property is spacious, light and laid out for the ultimate socialising experience. Spend quality time together in the open-plan living space, which opens through to large French double doors into the seemingly never-ending garden. The farmhouse kitchen, complete with an American-style fridge/freezer, integrated appliances and a Tassimo coffee machine, is perfect for whipping up a storm for you and your party (don’t forget snacks for Fido too!). Run damp doggie coats through the washing machine and tumble dryer in the handy utility, where it also has ample storage space for dog leads and accessories. When the stars start to peer out, take a dip in your very own hot tub and enjoy a glass of bubbles (extra charges apply). Settle your happy hound into their cosy living room space, and head upstairs, where three serene bedrooms welcome you for a great night’s sleep. One is a super-king-size with a Smart TV and private en-suite shower room, the second has a double bed with a single bunk above and the third is a king-size bed with more en-suite facilities. Once morning rolls around, take your specially made coffee and perch in the garden while the dog stretches its legs.

Situated on a 250-acre farm with 70 acres of woodland, you’ll find plenty of gorgeous walkies nearby for you and your pup. The houses here are surrounded by criss-crossing public footpaths which connect multiple quaint villages. Energetic canines will love the challenge of strolling to Stowmarket, 4 miles away from the cottage, or you could drive to find plenty of parking. Here you’ll find a twice-weekly market to fill up on the essentials, or head to one of the dog-friendly eateries to enjoy a meal alfresco. Bury St Edmunds is a 12-mile drive from the property and is one of the county’s premier food and drink hubs, boasting delicious eats plus a chance to explore the stunning Abbey Gardens with your companion.

The Cartlodge has everything you need for a nice relaxing holiday with beautiful views from the garden and the added bonus of using the private woodland for walking the dog. We have had a fantastic week and will definitely return again.

Modern and very clean barn conversion with high end finishings. Very comfortable. Deep in the countryside without being too remote for exploring Suffolk. Not always very quiet when the wind brought the traffic sounds of the main road to Felixstowe, even though it is a couple of miles away, but not every day.
