Dogs are welcome at The Children's Country House at Sudbury all year round. Please keep The Children's Country House enjoyable for everyone by keeping them on a short lead, cleaning up after them and following the guidance.
We've been working on making it easier for you to find out how dog-friendly your visit will be before you and your four-legged-friend arrive. To help with this, we've created a new pawprint rating system and given all places in our care a rating. You can find this information in the National Trust members' handbook.
The Children's Country House at Sudbury is a two pawprint rated place.
These places have water bowls, dog bins and dog-friendly walks. You'll be able to take your dog into some areas, but not everywhere. If there's a food and beverage outlet, you csan have a cup of tea with them, probably outside. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
