The best of Suffolk’s Dog-Friendly Delights
By Carl Scott
At Woodfarm Barns and Barges, we take the utmost care to provide the best dog-friendly accommodation in Suffolk. We even go as far as providing our four-legged guests with their very own passport after visiting to make sure that they get the same VIP treatment as their two-legged friends. Of course, it would be remiss of us to provide everything you need for a memorable dog-friendly holiday in Suffolk without providing a handful of suggestions for things to see and do with your pooch when staying at our quirky Barns and Barges for rent.
To help you get started with your planning, we’ve assembled a few suggestions that we’re sure will get your best friend’s tail wagging.
Visit an Award-Winning Garden:
Set against the eye-catching backdrop of Helmingham Hall, the nearby Helmingham Hall Gardens are dog-friendly and provide a great place to escape to on a summer’s day in Suffolk. Previously winning the coveted Historic Houses Garden of the Year award, this destination has been lovingly redesigned and is impeccably well-maintained. Some reviewers of the gardens have also mentioned how their four-legged friend was offered a dog treat when they paid a visit…
Enjoy the Suffolk Dog Day:
That age-old saying about how every dog has its day has more than a grain of truth to it in Suffolk. Taking place at Helmingham Hall (those guys sure do share our love of dog-friendly things to see and do in Suffolk!), this annual event supports the outstanding work of St Elizabeth Hospice and brings together an assortment of activities and attractions that are sure to get a few tails wagging. With such excitement certain to abound, we’re confident you’ll appreciate our next suggestion…
Visit a dog-friendly pub or restaurant
As a county steeped in rural traditions, it will come as no surprise to learn that there are many dog-friendly pubs in restaurants in Suffolk that allow guests at our Barns and Barges to take their best friends along with them when in need of some refreshments. Always keeping an eye out for any new additions to the already superb list of options, you can find a complete list of dog-friendly places to eat and drink in our previous article here.
Go for a dip:
We’ve mentioned the brilliance of Suffolk’s Canine Dip and Dive a few times in the past. And we’re going to mention it again because it truly is a brilliant destination for dogs to visit when on holiday in Suffolk. Providing them with comfortable access to their very own swimming pool, the Canine Dip and Dive has received an overwhelming number of positive reviews for allowing dogs to socialise and grow their confidence in a tailored and uniquely special environment.
If any or all of these attractions sound like something you – and more importantly, your pooch – would enjoy, then be sure to take a look at the availability of our Barns and Barges for rent in Suffolk. We’re sure that you’ll enjoy the very best of dog-friendly holidays when staying with us!
