The property

Dover Retreat is a suitable pet-friendly house located in the town of Ipswich, Suffolk. Suited to a small family and up to three dogs, this house features proximity to local amenities and the River Orwell. Take a short stroll from the train station or park the car outside the property before opening the gate. Slip your coat and shoes off after stepping through the doors, into the sitting room with a TV for entertainment in the evening, a sofa to sink into, and an electric fire keeping the ambience cushy. Step through to the dining room with seating for four guests to enjoy a home-cooked meal; there is also a fridge/freezer nearby to crack out a chilled beverage as you tuck in. Just through the doorway, you will find a small kitchen with a washing machine to refresh your walking gear, a microwave, kettle, and toaster for light snacks and refreshments, an oven and hob for the chef or the group, and a dishwasher assisting with an easy cleanup. In the afternoon, step out into the enclosed garden with patio; here your four-legged friend can stretch their legs. Climb the stairs to find the two bedrooms on offer: there is a double with hanging space, or a twin room to rest and rejuvenate. The bathroom is practical, with a bath to soak in or refresh with the shower over. A shop is nearby to stock up on your favourites, a pub is a short stroll away, and the River Orwell is in proximity to the property for morning strolls with your furry companions. Explore Ipswich Waterfront, a developed boat dock area to take in the views, there are plenty of dining options, whether you are enjoying a spot of brunch or cocktails as the sunsets. Browse the 90 historic vehicles at Ipswich Transport Museum, featuring fire engines, vintage motors, a model railway and a tea room to unwind afterwards. Take your walking shoes or wetsuits and take a drive to Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape, with 155-sq-miles to uncover, with shingles beachs, picturesque estuaries, salt marshes, farmland and forests, this is a great destination for bird watchers and dog walker. After a day of exploring Suffolk return to Dover Retreat and unwind.

About the location

IPSWICH

Bramford 3 miles; Holbrook 6 miles; Woodbridge 9 miles.

Ipswich is one of England’s oldest towns, believed to have been created in Anglo-Saxon times and built up more and more around the dock since then. Now, the dock area has undergone a large redevelopment, offering a good selection of restaurants and bars overlooking the marina. As well as a selection of historic buildings around the town, it is also home to the youngest Grade I listed building, a large, glass-built commercial office building in the town centre. Ipswich was awarded the cleanest town award in 2007 and has a number of things to do, including a good selection of shops to browse and brilliant restaurants and bars, not to mention being home to Ipswich Town Football Club! The town offers a central location for exploring the popular county of Suffolk, with its beautiful heritage coastline, historical villages and beautiful waterways; a great place to visit, all year round.
