1 / 24Burgate's Old Rectory Cottage
Burgate, Suffolk
A detached five star barn for four in the rural village of Burgate, with far reaching countryside views, a wood burner, a private hot tub, a fully enclosed side garden and one dog welcome.
Full height windows give Burgate's Old Rectory Cottage uninterrupted panoramic views over the Suffolk countryside. Five star, detached and set in spacious grounds in a rural village, this barn welcomes four guests and one dog to a dog friendly stay, with a private hot tub placed for the view.
Muddy boots go in the entrance hall's handy storage. Further in, living, cooking and eating all happen in one bright and airy space, with high ceilings, tiled floors, underfloor heating and calm, neutral tones. Large sliding doors bring the outside in. A Smart TV, a Sonos system and a contemporary freestanding wood burner furnish the lounge, and the dog will soon be found warming up in front of it. The kitchen comes with a warming drawer and a wine chilling cabinet, with a dining table and a breakfast bar to choose between. An en suite with a corner bath serves the king size room, the twin has zip and link beds, and the main bathroom has a low window so the view can be enjoyed from the tub.
Outside, the side garden is fully enclosed with garden furniture, which gives the dog a place of its own outdoors. At the front, a private patio holds the hot tub, a BBQ plinth and more seating, and an evening out there with the fields fading into the dusk is hard to beat.
Walking and cycling tracks run through the surrounding villages for days out with the dog, and Thetford Forest is nearby for longer adventures. Bury St Edmunds is a short drive, with its cathedral, abbey gardens, award winning market and Theatre Royal, while Banham Zoo, Bressingham Gardens and the Heritage Coast are all within reach.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Burgate's Old Rectory Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, one dog is welcome at Burgate's Old Rectory Cottage. The side garden is fully enclosed, which makes it a secure space for your dog to be outside, and the underfloor heating throughout means they'll have warm stone to settle on rather than hunting for a warm spot.
Are dogs allowed at Burgate's Old Rectory Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, and the cottage is well set up for year-round visits with dogs. The underfloor heating and wood burner make it particularly well suited to off-season stays, when a dog coming in wet from the fields can dry out in comfort.
What should I know before visiting Burgate's Old Rectory Cottage with my dog?
The cottage welcomes one dog, so it's worth checking before booking if you have more than one. The surrounding area is quiet arable countryside with hedgerows, headlands and long straight tracks — good walking territory, but note that the listing describes it as a long way from the coast, so don't plan this trip around beach days.
