Two truly unique, dog-friendly ’floating holiday cottages’ in iconic Suffolk locations: Snape Maltings, and the Tidemill at Woodbridge.

Both Barges offer stunning river walks in either direction and are a stone’s throw from great dog-friendly pubs and a range of boutique shops, coffee shops and delis.

With up to 3 dogs very welcome, either choice gives you the perfect spot to paws and reflect.

They are moored and waiting for you to take a relaxing break with your furry family.

Quirky restored Dutch Barges, which have both featured in The Times’ Best of lists: one in a feature on the ‘Best Love Nests’, and the other in the ‘Best Unusual Holiday Homes in the UK’.

Onderneming – Sleeps 8


This Suffolk coastal retreat is a haven for family and friends. Moored at Snape Maltings, this cavernous Dutch Barge is the ideal idyll for families and small groups of friends seeking a unique getaway.

Twee Gebroeders – Sleeps 4


An idyllic bolthole, moored at the Tidemill in Woodbridge. She is the perfect romantic refuge for couples, with room for a couple of kids too.

Exclusive 10% Discount for Your Dog readers.

Simply use the voucher code YDBOAT10 when you book.
