Porters Lodge Garden and Tearoom

Porters Lodge Garden and Tearoom is a three-acre designed garden destination on the edge of Cavenham, close to Bury St Edmunds. Dogs on leads are welcome in the gardens, making this a proper outdoor day out where the whole group can explore together. The site includes a tearoom, though the evidenced dog access is for the garden itself.

Open Friday to Sunday, 9.30am to 4pm, with last garden entry at 3pm. Admission is £5 per person and no booking is needed for standard visits. Free on-site parking is available, with overflow spaces by the roadside if the small car park fills up.

A compact option when you want a proper garden visit rather than just a walk round the park. The lead requirement keeps things manageable and knowing exactly where your dog is welcome saves the guesswork. It's the sort of place that works because the outdoor access is clear and the logistics are straightforward.
