Blue Dog Quarters is a bright and stylish first floor apartment with a sunny decked terrace. It is located above the Blue Dog shop on the High Street in the centre of Clare, Suffolk's smallest town. Clare's pubs, cafés, excellent independent shops, antiques warehouse and country park complete with castle ruins are all within easy walking distance and the town makes an excellent base for exploring further afield in this pretty corner of Suffolk. The spacious accommodation is all on the first floor of this Grade 2 listed building and can comfortably accommodate six guests in a master bedroom (with en-suite), a further king size double bedroom, a twin bedded room and family bathroom. There is a large, bright eat-in kitchen leading out to a sunny roof terrace with outdoor seating for six. There is a further dining table in the spacious living room which was the original cheese store back in the days when the building housed a traditional grocery. The property features interesting decor throughout and artwork from renowned local artists such as Bernard Cheese and Edward Bawden.

We like our guests to be able to come and go as they please and arrive at a time to suit them, so the keys to the property will be left in a key safe. I can't promise to be around during your stay, but will be available at the end of the phone or on email if there are any problems or specific queries about the accommodation. The shop downstairs is open seven days a week and will be happy to share a little local knowledge! We are pleased to be able to offer our guests a 10% discount on purchases made in the shop during their stay. Clare is a lovely little town - a perfectly formed bite-sized piece of rural England. It is one of Suffolk's famous wool towns and an excellent base from which to explore the other wool towns or travel slightly further afield - Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket and Cambridge are all within easy reach. If you prefer to explore on foot, Clare is a 'Walkers are Welcome' town offering a range of attractive walks and trails. The town has an excellent website detailing everything there is to see and do - search for visit-clare. There is unrestricted on-road parking a short distance along the High Street from the property. There is restricted one hour parking immediately outside which is handy for dropping off your belongings on arrival. There is a high chair and travel cot (please bring your baby's own bedding). Please note that there is no stair gate on the stairs from the entrance hall up to the main accommodation and the apartment has not been specifically 'child proofed' so is not really suitable for very young children. We love to know why people are visiting the area, so please tell us the reason for your planned visit and, very importantly, let us know who will be staying with you and the ages of any children.
