Picture this: morning mist rising over meadows as you and your faithful companion step out from your cottage door straight onto meandering country paths. No need to jump in the car – every holiday cottage Suffolk offers through Grove Cottages comes with close by access to beautiful walks. Whether you’re traversing wildflower meadows, exploring ancient woodlands, or rambling along quiet country lanes, these properties serve as perfect bases for countryside adventures.
The thoughtful touches for canine guests go far beyond the basic “dogs allowed” policy. Many cottages feature specially designed washing stations complete with fluffy towels for muddy paws, secure gardens where your pet can roam safely, and dedicated exercise areas perfect for those essential morning and evening walks. Some properties even boast private wildflower meadows or direct access to nature reserves, offering perfect opportunities for exploration and adventure.
Inside each Suffolk holiday cottage, historic features like brick, stone, and wooden floors paired with beautiful rugs create spaces that are both characterful and practical for those muddy paws. The charm of centuries-old buildings meets modern pet-friendly practicality, ensuring both two-legged and four-legged guests can relax in comfort. Each property comes equipped with doggie bowls, and you’ll find detailed OS maps marking out local dog-friendly walks and welcoming pubs where your furry friend can join you for lunch.

Whether you’re staying in a cosy bolthole for two plus pooch, or a larger property with space for the whole family and their pets, each cottage provides the perfect setting for making memories together.
While the properties welcome dogs enthusiastically, Grove Cottages maintains high standards of comfort and cleanliness.
