There are lots of reasons why Suffolk remains one of the most popular southern counties for a short break or staycation. Not only is it easily accessible from virtually anywhere in the country, connected to London and other major cities by train and road, but it also retains a great sense of traditional English charm – something that has been lost in most other parts of the country.
When you visit Suffolk, you are immediately immersed in rolling hills and sweeping landscapes, rich with quaint villages and countless pubs. Oh and, you guessed it, plenty of dogs.
Here are just some of the reasons why we believe booking a dog friendly cottage in Suffolk is the best way to spend your next mini break.
Endless Walking Trails Is
By far the most compelling reason to choose Suffolk for your next full family holiday or break, including your furry friends, is the endless walking trails.
Whether you love great views or like to immerse yourself in woodland and rolling countryside, the walks which span the Suffolk countryside are wide-ranging – with both long and short routes for both veteran hikers and those looking to burn off a few too many pub lunches.
Many Of The Pubs And Cafes Allow Dogs
From the coastal towns to inner countryside villages, you will find that dogs are welcome in most local establishments across Suffolk. Ending a long walk isn’t the same unless you can pop straight into the pub for a pint or a glass of wine – and while cities and other parts of England are often strict on their dog policies, Suffolk is extremely relaxed.
During the off-season months from October through to April, dogs can also enjoy free roaming access on all of Suffolk’s beaches – while certain beaches allow restricted access during the peak summer months.
Dog-Friendly Holiday Cottages
Last but not least, to your home away from home. Suffolk may not have the same vast hotels as cities like London and nearby Norwich, but what it does have is local holiday cottages – and plenty of them.
Depending on the size of your travelling party, there are large holiday cottages with luxurious facilities including pools and outhouses, or small and cosy properties built for a romantic weekend away. Whatever your needs and however much space you require, all of the dog-friendly holiday cottages in Suffolk are designed to ensure that your pet feels as at home as you. As part of the experience, they can enjoy surrounding gardens and grounds, with plenty of inside space to relax and sleep off the excitement of another day in Suffolk.
If you’re looking for a break in the English countryside but you’re unsure of how and where to book to ensure your pup enjoys the best time too, then look no further than Suffolk.
