Miss Mumbles

Hi, we’re Chris and David!

After long careers in teaching (David) and nursing (Chris), we decided to transform our family estate into adult-only, dog-friendly holiday cottages in the heart of Suffolk’s countryside. Nestled in one of Suffolk’s oldest Dairy Courtyard farms, our cottages combine rustic charm with modern comforts. You’ll notice the original brickwork and historic touches, especially in Udder Cottage, which reflect the property’s rich heritage.

Our goal is simple: to provide a peaceful countryside retreat for couples and their dogs, where you can unwind, recharge, and explore the surrounding area. With two Golden Retrievers of our own, we know how important a welcoming, dog-friendly environment is for your furry companions.

Every detail in our cottages has been thoughtfully curated for comfort and sustainability. We use eco-friendly cleaning products, steam-clean all hard floors, and provide cosy touches like luxury linens, semi-private gardens, and thoughtful extras for both humans and dogs.

Although we live on-site, your privacy is our priority. We’re happy to help with recommendations, local tips, or anything you need during your stay.

For ideas on adventures, dog walks, local attractions, and nearby pubs serving local cuisine, visit our Local Area page. From the serene beaches at Southwold and Aldeburgh to historic market towns like Framlingham and Harleston, there’s something for every couple to enjoy.

We can’t wait to welcome you for a relaxing adult-only getaway in Suffolk, with your dog by your side.

Chris, David, Molly, and Mumbles 🐾
