dog friendly holiday barge in Suffolk

Looking for a more unique kind of holiday?

By

We all love telling our friends back home about our fantastic holiday experiences, and it’s even better when we’ve stayed somewhere really unique! If you’re looking for that one-of-a-kind holiday experience, we’ve got just the ticket.

Our Historic Dutch Holiday Barges in Suffolk are just like our beautiful cottages – but floating! They’re moored on two of Suffolk’s most beautiful waterways, and they make ideal locations for those in search of a more quirky holiday style.

Complete with all the home comforts you need, our Barges don’t force you to compromise. They’re comfortable, spacious and relaxing, with plenty of kitchen, bedroom and bathroom space. We actually accommodate four guests and three dogs aboard our Twee Gebroeders Barge in Woodbridge, and eight guests and three dogs aboard our Onderneming Barge at Snape Maltings! Both Barges are also a two-minute walk away from independent shops, restaurants and beautiful walks encapsulating the Suffolk countryside.

Want to know more? We’ve written a blog post about all the reasons you should take a unique Barge holiday.
