1 / 8The Coach House Suffolk
Lowestoft, Suffolk
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A country hotel on the Suffolk Coast between Southwold and Lowestoft, where well behaved dogs share designated bedrooms and are welcome in the bar.
Between Southwold and Lowestoft, in Carlton Colville on the Suffolk Coast, The Coach House Suffolk sits in almost 3 acres of grounds with gardens and terraces. Well behaved dogs are welcome here, so it makes a dog friendly hotel for exploring the beaches, villages and nature reserve that the hotel counts on its doorstep.
Your dog shares your room in one of the designated guest bedrooms, and guests are asked not to leave dogs unattended in the bedrooms. The Superior rooms are spacious character rooms with four-poster beds and a Jacuzzi bath, set in a peaceful off-road spot, and breakfast is included with your stay. Ask at booking about numbers too, as The Coach House doesn't say how many dogs may come along.
In the hotel bar, your dog is welcome at your feet. For dining, ask where your dog may sit. The kitchen works with fresh produce, served in the bar and lounges, and there's a Sunday lunch of slow roast sirloin, Fish & Chip Fridays with beer-battered cod, and a traditional afternoon tea with 48 hours notice.
Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve & Visitor Centre is a mile away and the East Anglia Transport Museum is next door, with Oulton Broad, the gateway to the Broads, a couple of miles off. When your dog needs the sea, Pakefield Beach is 1.9 miles away, the shortest hop from the hotel to a dog friendly beach on Wildpack's map.
