Great British Stays said: "Surrounded by Suffolk fields, woodland and heathland, this dog and family-friendly pub features nine beautiful bedrooms, one of which is fully accessible."

They added: "The Three Blackbirds near Newmarket sits in rural Woodditton, a village dating back to William the Conqueror. It is a picturesque rural village, a ten-minute drive south of Newmarket, the home of horse racing."

The pub has previously won accolades for being one of the best dog-friendly pubs in the UK and for being among the best dog-friendly hotels.
