Let your four-legged friend burn off some energy along the picturesque Suffolk Heritage Coast when you stay at this exquisite property in Thorpeness. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom retreat is one of the celebrated holiday village’s distinctive buildings, with its leaded windows and Tudor-style exterior. Inside, the property, which is less than 0.5 miles from the beach, offers bright and stylish accommodation to suit humans and hounds, while outside it sits in immaculate, shared gardens where you can take your waggy-tailed pal for a wander.

Enter to find the lower-ground floor which features the utility room where you can towel down your damp dog after beach walks. A twin bedroom, a family shower room, and a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room are also down here. The reception hall and impressive lounge/kitchen/diner, with a high ceiling and mezzanine dining area, are on the ground floor. Here you can whip up tasty meals, perch at the breakfast bar with a cup of coffee and watch TV while your chum reclines on the rug, enjoying the heat from the wood burner. A double bedroom with an en-suite WC is also on this floor. A second comfortable seating area with another TV nestles adjacent to the mezzanine dining space, while a super-king size bedroom, which can also be arranged as a twin, is on the top floor, along with a family wet room. Outside, relax out on your private patio or seating area on warm evenings with a glass of wine in hand, and your contented canine by your side.

Enjoy a 6.5-mile coastal walk from Thorpeness to Aldeburgh, along by the sea and back through countryside. Plan a day trip to Dunwich, 10 miles away, where your chum can run free on the open sand and explore the beautiful heath with you.

Barrie House is stunning. We had a wonderful week there. It is furnished and equipped to an extremely high standard. We couldn't think of anything we needed which wasn't provided. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. The Dolphin pub is great and just across the road. I can't think of a better holiday property for 8 people. Thank you

We had a very enjoyable holiday at Barrie House. A problem with one of the showers was attended to promptly and although unable to be fixed during our stay, was dealt with satisfactorily. Communication with the owner was prompt. The cleanliness wasnt up to standard. We found a mouldy loaf and wraps in the bread bin and some towels we suspect, wereRead morent clean. The property had obviously been empty before our stay and should have been checked before our arrival. The property itself was very comfortable and well thought out and instructions very clear. We particularly liked the artwork around the house. One thing we would change, the size of the towels - they were tiny! Hide

The cottage was beautiful and very comfortable, the bed was amazing in the master bedroom. The property is close to the beach and opposite the pub in a beautiful village. Only slight downside was the dishwasher didn't clean well so we ended up washing up which was a shame over Christmas. More cutlery would also have been welcome.

The property was of a good standard, the welcome wine and crisps were a nice touch and appreciated. Parking could be challenging as only one space allocated for a cottage that sleeps 8. Outdoor space was not practical for a large group staying in the summer and this is the main reason we wouldnt book Barrie House again.
