Why we love it
Dogs can live totally off the lead while you’re here, with nothing but open fields and footpaths for miles around your cool cosy cabin just north of London
"We will definitely be booking again"
We booked Hare Field Cabin for a couple of nights. We loved it! Everything we needed was there, plenty of information was sent to us before we arrived. We will definitely be booking again.

The place
Hare Field Cabin is a fantastic little break from the sound of the city, bringing you all the peace and freedom of the gentle Suffolk countryside. The surrounding fields and footpaths are perfect for dogs and humans to roam. Following those footpaths will lead you to all sorts of places, but a favourite route is to go through the pretty village of Liston and along the river to Long Melford. It’s only a few miles and yet you have a choice of dog-friendly pubs to stop into as you go. There’s canoeing and kayaking on the River Stour if you and your dog are water lovers and charming medieval villages to explore, plus the simple joy of getting some local food, firing up the BBQ and watching the sunset over the fields.
In the neighbourhood

- Melford Hall, 8-minute drive. You might need the dog on the lead here and there, but a visit to National Trust property Melford Hall is a scenic and fascinating day out
- The medieval Suffolk villages and towns of Clare (12 min drive), Long Melford (6 min drive) and Lavenham (14 min drive) with their historic buildings. antique shops and tearooms are all worth a wander of an afternoon
