Ixworth Country — Boarding Kennel

For a dog who enjoys time off lead, the four enclosed exercise areas are a distinctive part of a stay at Ixworth Country. This family-run boarding kennel sits on an acre and a half in the Suffolk countryside. Its kennels have heated indoor areas and sheltered runs, giving dogs both an inside space and a place to step outdoors. Grooming is also offered, from blow-drying and styling to feet tidying, ear cleaning and nail trims.

The wider setting is West Suffolk, a largely rural district of East Anglia whose landscape includes meadows, heathland and woodland. The district also includes market towns such as Bury St Edmunds, Mildenhall and Newmarket.
