2 Star Reactive Dog Rated
Avocet, Suffolk
Avocet is a gorgeously designed ground floor accommodation (apartment) in the heart of the charming coastal village of Pakefield, just a 5 minute walk to the beach. This unspoilt and quiet coastal village has a rich maritime history with charming fishermans cottages, a 19th Century lighthouse and charming beach huts. From the door, you can walk north along the promenade to Lowestoft, or south along the prom and the cliff top path towards Pakefield Church. Or how about the fabulous walk to Kessingland beach and back? (Kessingland Beach has a wide expanse of dunes and is probably one of the best wild beaches you will find on the Suffolk Coast). There are several dog welcoming pubs a short walk away, shops nearby and just a short 20 minute drive to Southwold.
The cottage has been charmingly restored by Clare, retaining so many original features It is truly not just a dog welcoming haven but a fabulous home-from-home

Even got a few ideas on decor for our home!

The only negative was leaving to go home!

Wonderful stay at Avocet!! Both the property and Clare exceeded expectations! Avocet was perfect for a few days away with my dog! Beautiful decor, extremely well equipped, a fantastic location (2 mins from the beach) and a wonderful host who thought of every little detail and communicated brilliantly throughout. Plenty of parking outside and a handy corner shop too!
I was so impressed and highly recommend

Total perfection! Fantastic place, totally spotlessly clean and super comfortable
It was easy to find and Clare is a brilliant host. Lots of information to make the most of the area and always available if needed. Avocet is a moments walk from the beach and a great location for visiting the surrounding areas
Cannot wait to go back!

A two night stay in heaven! Our first visit but definitely wont be our last! We were looking to escape the madness of real life and Avocet allowed us to do that
Walked by the sea, visited lots of little places as well as the likes of Southwold. The bed was super comfy and we ate in the apartment as there was everything we needed. POSSIBLY THE BEST PLACE WE HAVE EVER STAYED.
Its not goodbye, just see you later Avocet! Clare was an amazing host and the local guide was incredible

Fantastic! Prosseco on arrival, dressing gowns provided, nice touch
I loved the apartment itself as it was decorated to my taste and it had a lovely comfy bed! It had everything you could possibly want! Turn left outside the front door and you are on the seafront! And 3 lovely pubs within a 5 min walk, all dog friendly

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We decided last minute to go away for the weekend, I came across the beautiful Avocet apartment and I am so glad I did! The secure garden was ideal for our dog. The apartment is beautiful, it had everything we needed and its right next to the beautiful Pakefield beach
