The lookout in Bacton was one of the best properties we have stayed in. Comfortable clean high spec accommodation. Perfect location the view of the sea and beach just stunning. Everything we needed in walking distance cafes etc. Highly recommend have already booked for next year
We've just returned from a lovely relaxing stay at Sea Urchin. The property was so clean, in a very peaceful area, had absolutely everything we needed and it's proximity to the beach really was an added bonus. Robert was an excellent host and communication was great. We would usually seek to book accommodation which have gardens with panel/ hedge fencing as one of our dogs is reactive to various sights and sounds, however given the time of year and it not being a busy area, this didn't prove an issue for us. We look forward to staying again in the future.
Hadn’t holidayed with both of our GSD before but this was the perfect place to stay. Accomodation and ameneties were to such a high standard with everything you could possibly need. The addition of a secure field to use throughout the stay was so welcome and lovely walks direct from the door. Would love to stay again soon and would highly recommended, the owners were lovely and communicative before and during the stay when we reached out to them.
We love Bumblebee. It’s a well thought through cottage, comfortable and homely yet with all the mod-cons you could wish for. The standard of finish and cleanliness is to a high standard. It’s located in a lovely area, close to beaches and surrounded by fields. It brings nature to the door and a sense of tranquility. The owners are super helpful, if required, and discreetly in the background. We love it there, been a few times and booked for next year. Bumblebee is well worth a visit.
We had a wonderful week at Malthouse Farm Barn with our 2 doggies. The barn has been beautifully renovated with everything we needed for both us humans and our dogs. The living area is extremely spacious whilst still having a cosy feel. The boot room is equipped with everything we needed and more. The garden is completed enclosed by a high Victorian wall which offers full security for our dogs to run free and protection from a windy day! The brick 'potting shed' has a shower for the dogs which was really useful when returning from a beach or woodland walk. Rick and Ally have really thought of...more
Our 2nd stay at The Peanut didn't disappoint. We received a wonderful welcome pack and presents from our hosts Paul & Stella. It was fabulous to be back in Happisburgh Common for a peaceful, relaxing Beachmas (aka christmas) with long beach walks every day and listening for the Tawny Owls at night. Our 15 month old labrador had fun chasing the seafoam on the beaches at Walcott and Happisburgh and running through the dunes at Winterton, no runs on the beach there as the seals were in residence. We love the peace and tranquility of The Peanut and the onsite dog paddock is a bonus.
ERC as a company are fantastic, their attention to detail in their listings, their booking and even an app for that specific properties details. It's like nothing I've come across in all my years of booking UK breaks. The cottage - fantastic - that sums it up. Absolutely nothing we could find fault with to be honest. It had comfy sofas, bed was decent, well equipped kitchen and the WiFi was perfect (a rare treat!) The welcome hamper of yummy stuff was a lovely unexpected addition, with all Norfolk based goodies inside (including for the dog) As for the dog friendliness - 5 Paws! Th...more
Wow! Thatched Cottage is set in the most beautiful gardens right in the heart of Hoveton & within easy reach of all you wish to explore in North Norfolk & beyond. It is the cleanest & most immaculately presented holiday cottage we have ever stayed in, complete with so many lovely little touches & most importantly bedding that you can tell is refreshed regularly. It has been finished to such a high standard & the owners clearly work tirelessly to ensure their guests have all they need during their stay. The owners could not have been more considerate & helpful & even checked to see if we had al...more
Home from home dogs settled straight away amazing walks from the back door straight out on to the winterton dunes Lovley warm welcoming cottage with lovley caught yard garden fully secure and enclosed Perfect brake away
We were delighted to arrive at our warm and welcoming accommodation to find a wonderful tray of goodies waiting for us together with starter supplies of tea and coffee. Manor Barn is gorgeous with much attention to detail. Everything we could have wished for was provided. Beds are very comfortable with lovely pillows. Our dogs loved the garden and for us it was a delight to see them enjoying the walks and the nearby beaches. The laminated maps of local walks were much appreciated. We are looking forward to returning!
Our second time here and even better than we remembered. Everything we needed was there. Near to lots of dog friendly beaches Happisburgh, Cart Gap and Sea Palling being our favourites, Winterton is a bit further but definitely worth it. We enjoyed a couple of circular walks from the cottage. Hope to return in the near future
We had an absolutely brilliant holiday at The Walnut. The property had everything we needed, owners are lovely, facilities perfect for us and our young Labrador. Easy driving distance to the beach and Broads. We couldn’t have asked for any more!
From the moment we arrived, we loved Dormy! Fantastic location, so warm and comfortable and everything there we could wish for. The welcome pack was so generous and the dogs loved their treats. Having the beach just a couple of minutes walk away was fabulous, and we spent a lot of time there, plus the open fields at the front made Dormy one of the most peaceful breaks we have had.
This was our second stay here, and it did not disappoint! The cottage was spotlessly clean, superb welcome pack, and as before, exceedingly dog friendly. The facilities ate all you could possibly wish for, and I couldn't recommend it highly enough
This is our second visit to this lovely cottage beautifully presented from the moment you arrive the field for the dogs to run in is ideal. Everything has been thought of it’s definitely luxury to a high standard. The welcome hamper for us & our 5 dogs was a lovely touch even included a birthday cake & card. The owners are onsite & are friendly & helpful. The cottage is ideally situated for the beach, wooded walks. Stalham is a couple of miles away which has a supermarket, fish & chip shop & other takeaways also a vet which we have had to use. This accommodation is 1st class!
We stayed at The Salty Dog from 26th to 20th February. All correspondence from booking to checking out has been easy and any questions were answered quickly. The check in was seamless and we were welcomed to a thoughtful welcome basket, full of treats for the hoomans and our dogs. We stayed with 3 dogs and they were well catered for with everything you would need and more! The accommodation was perfect for us (3 adults) and having two shower rooms was a big bonus as well as being on one level which was a must for my Mum. The lodge was spotlessly clean and you’d never have known dogs had previo...more
This cosy cottage is set up for humans and dogs in equal measure. None of that plastic coated surfaces, the dogs are allowed on the sofa and the beds and its all so warmly furnished. Safe garden, relax with your little escape artist. Lovely hamper for humans and dogs including home made items. Easy to park on the drive, you won't need the car to get to the beach!
My third or fourth time here- it's a great choice for beach walks, clean and comfortable accommodation and a peaceful location. Therapy for a London-based owner and two lucky Labradors!
Great cottage so easy to get to the dunes which the dogs loved.We recommend Poppy’s the cafe in the village which we visited a few times during our stay also the pub was great very friendly and made the dogs very welcome. Good base for visiting the beautiful broads and other delightful places in Norfolk My only issue was the parking it is a little tight getting in and out when the neighbours cars are parked but we managed
I stayed at White Cottage for a week in January with my 2 dogs and some friends. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable and was spotlessly clean and tidy. I really valued having a good sized, fully enclosed, secure garden with no neighbours as one of my dogs is quite reactive. It was lovely to not worry about any distractions or noise from neighbouring gardens etc. Entry to the house is via a large conservatory, which is just brilliant for helping with getting the dogs clean and dry before entering the main house. Inside there is lots of space for everyone - the sitting room is very spa...more
A fabulous property, very clean, spacious, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and everything you need for the dogs. Wonderful welcoming tray and fresh flowers. Excellent location for local walks and nearby beaches are only 15 minutes in the car. Plenty of supermarkets in the locality plus farm shops. We couldn’t have been made to feel any more welcome and would love to go back.
This was our third stay with our fear reactive to other dogs rescue dog Jeff. The accommodation is so comfortable and equipped with every thing both humans and dogs could need. The secure garden is wonderful, Jeff loves it. Jeff loves the countryside walks from the property. There are often no other dogs around at all or if there is one off lead local dog owners are so happy to put their dog back on lead when politely asked. The coast is only a couple of miles away and there are lovely walks only a few miles from the property. The owners are wonderful and so helpful, as is the East Ruston comp...more
We really enjoyed our family break in Bishy Barnabee. Mark and Helen were kind enough to allow our Son plus his family and also our friends to join ourselves, and our daughter and family to join us on the Saturday. The supply of the crate for one of our dogs that had a cruciate ligament op on the Monday before our stay was very much appreciated. The grand children want to come again. You know when that happens it’s been an enjoyable stay
We had a great stay at stones throw and would highly recommend. Short walk to the beach tucked away in a quiet little cul da sac with everything you need to satisfy your holiday. The whole property was pristine and the garden fully enclosed well maintained for the 4 dogs to enjoy. ERC cottages are simply the best this is our 4th cottage rental as it's great for all human and fur babies needs we wouldn't use any other properties as the quality is superb and communication is prompt and efficient. Well done ERC you knock every other company out of the park
I hope we get to stay at The Crib again as a long weekend was not long enough! It was a relief to have a really secure garden for our dogs and space for them to play and wear themselves out without having to constantly supervise them. The space inside was perfect for us - lots of dog beds for them to choose from and lots of seating for us to choose from too. I really enjoyed relaxing in the deep bath after a walk at the beach. Parking was nice and easy too with plenty of space at the rear of the property. WiFi worked well and the location was a few minutes from our favourite fish and chip shop...more
As soon as we walked in to Woodpecker Lodge we knew we would have a great holiday - immaculately clean, with some Christmas decorations, it was immediately inviting. We explored many of the local beaches and towns, loved the local bakery and the Smokehouse. For the dogs, we couldn’t have asked for more with a large assortment of crates, throws on the sofas and spare towels, not to mention a fabulous welcome hamper! There were even some steps to help my old boy up and down from the sofa. Evenings in the hot tub, the added bonus, meant we had a great Christmas break! Definitely recommend.
All Justin (Dad) wanted for his 60th birthday was to spend quality time with our kids, their partners, and the dogs—just making memories together. Three out of our four rescue dogs joined us (they’re family, after all!). Each comes with their own triggers, but none are aggressive—just a bit noisy at times. From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome from Tim and Trisha immediately put us at ease and set the tone for a relaxing stay at The Farmhouse. All of our dogs have very different backstories. ReKa is a crossbreed from North Macedonia (possibly an Illyrian Shepherd). Bob is our lit...more
We had a lovely stay in this pretty and well equipped dog-friendly property. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We managed to time our arrival with Storm Amy blowing in, and were delighted that she had ensured the accommodation was toasty warm. Being Norfolk, the sun magically managed to put in an appearance each day. The stunning sandy beach was within walking distance, as was Happisburgh’s iconic lighthouse.
We loved our week at Corner Cottage. It makes such a difference to stay somewhere where dogs are welcomed, not just tolerated. Lots of walks from the house, including to the beach. It was a real bonus having crates available rather than fitting two Labrador size crates into the car. The garden is properly secured and, though it wasn’t quite warm enough for us to sit out, the dogs enjoyed it. There was also a generous welcome basket and great communication with the host. Thank you
We had another fantastic stay at the Beechcomber. I cannot fault this property or its location, we always have an amazing time. Our 3 beautiful dogs love it and the walks are great. We are always sad to go but we will come back again. Customer service is good, easily accessible, the owner always texts upon arrival to check everything is ok and is easily contactable for any queries you may have. Thank you and see you soon.
Second stay at Seaview and we all had an amazing time again. The cottage itself is very cozy and has everything you could need and more. More spacious than it looks from the outside. The beach is a very short walk out the front door and down some steps! The dogs are also well catered for with the bonus of an outside warm shower, good for washing those sandy paws. The human’s can use it too. Nice size secure garden which was well used by our 2 Westies. Leonie left us a beautiful homemade cheesecake to enjoy on arrival which was delicious! We look forward to returning.
We have stayed at Rooster Barn many times It never fails to make me smile when I arrive The property is beautiful as are both gardens All fenced in and very dog safe Clean, full of character and so comfortable We loved staying there and hope to stay again
This cottage is in an amazing situation, a very short walk to the beach or a walk around the Norfolk Broads, all from the doorstep. The cottage is cosy and comfortable with everything you could possibly need, a very generous welcome pack was also provided. I stayed in the downstairs bedroom, to save me the stairs and the bed was just right. I have already booked to go back next March. The owners are onsite and very helpful and the dog paddock was an added bonus.
Beautiful. Only problem for us was the stairs. We both have problems with our legs. But was a fantastic place.
Cottage had everything we needed for our stay with a super safe garden for our small dog . So good to stay somewhere dogs are really welcome , towels, bowls and even a packet of treats supplied for them . A tasty welcome pack for us too . The cottage is a few minutes walk from a sandy beach . The Broads are a within a short drive with lots of nature walks .
We came to stay here to visit Thursford which is just 40 mins away. It was great to be able to bring our dogs with us and be able to leave them in the property for a little while. Not all holiday cottage companies let you do this. We also had a recommendation for a dog sitter called The Fairy Dog Lover and she was great. She came to meet us and called to feed them while we were at Thursford. The property was so practical as well with non slip vinyl flooring throughout and access to a secure garden. The welcome pack was also great. Everything you need for a first nights stay and also inc...more
Our 1st new year away to avoid fire works, 4th time at Thatch won’t be our last 6 dogs 6 people perfect family time. Dogs loved the garden perfect for zoomies we loved all the places we can get to easily from there having 6 rescue pups all with different triggers the quiet walks are a blessing. The well equipped kitchen made it easy to eat in every night we took it in turns to cook and we enjoyed doing it perfect family time.
Skylark is a well equipped compact little chalion the Winterton Estate by miles of sandy beach. We were sent loads of info that turned out to be for the whole region so had to be dug through to find out what was actually local. At last minute chose to pack our own bedding on discovering that dog friendly did not include the bed. Lovely week with lots of walks on the beach spotting the seals. Curious to see other chalets for hire and sale on the site. Then discovered we could have booked directly with Winterton for a similar chalet, but with WiFi and a sea view, for £74 less than we had p...more
Lovely cottage well appointed, with fab garden for the dogs. Shame about the weather as wet walks in the surrounding area and the tide was often "in" when it was walk time, due to other commitments, but when the sun finally came out it was stunning. Love the area and will be back..
The bungalow is very aptly located in Lighthouse Close, the view to the lighthouse is spectacular. The bungalow is situated near to the beach with fabulous walks right from the door. The bungalow is well appointed, with plenty of doggy bits and a fabulous wrap around garden which is totally secure. Leonie very kindly baked us a raspberry cheesecake for our arrival it was to die for- thank you. We enjoyed a great week here in a fabulous location.
We’ve been to The Lodge many times, and always have a very relaxing time there. We don’t go far, local walks plus a walk on one of the nearby beaches. Everything was clean and comfy. The new TV is a big improvement! The warm dog shower is really useful. The drains showed signs of getting a bit blocked while we were there, but this was sorted really quickly. The Lodge is very warm and cosy. Everything works as it should and the kitchen is well equipped. We’ll be back!
Really enjoyed our week at this beautifully renovated cottage. Walking the dogs by the marina was a treat for them and us. Local beaches in easy reach by car and many were almost empty and dog friendly. A perfect location for a week away in early autumn
Our first time at this property, and it was a peaceful retreat from city fireworks for me and Milly. We were made to feel very welcome by Kerry and Kevin - the welcome pack was very generous! The cottage looks out across fields opposite, and the garden is lovely. We were lucky with the weather and afternoons were spent in the conservatory, toasting comfortably, after morning walks on the Weaver's Way and other local footpaths. Such a good week, thank you!
We had a really lovely few days at Vineyard cottage. The cottage is warm, cosy and comfortable and the location really is perfect. It is so peaceful and there are fabulous walks from the door and plenty to visit nearby. The cottage is well equipped and we had excellent communication before and during our stay from the owners, Graham and Collette. They are not at all intrusive, which we like. The pretty cottage garden is gorgeous and parking arrangement is excellent. Bedrooms are lovely and beds comfy. Great shower! We had a really fabulous break. Just what we needed!
We stayed for a weekend, the property is very well equipped, lots of space inside and outside, if you take dogs the secure field is fantastic and very close to the property. Property is nicely decorated and feels very homely. The lack of lighting at the front of the property at night was lovely in the main bedroom. There were lots of lovely goodies left waiting for you on your arrival. Any problem we had was dealt with promptly. However, points that I feel need raising were as follows: 1.The stairs are not a standard size, the treads are too narrow and coming down them was a problem ...more
We had an amazing week at Red Roofs on Hickling Broad. Whilst the house can easily accommodate 8, we made use of the discount for smaller groups, which was perfect for our 2 humans, 2 big hounds family. We often find that holiday homes are either great for the humans, or great for the dogs. Rarely do we find places which are perfect for all of us. But Red Roofs cracked it. When we arrive at other holiday cottages one of us usually takes the dogs for a walk whilst the other dog proofs the accommodation (inappropriate rugs up, delicate things hidden, our vet beds down). No need for any of ...more
The house is great and the garden is so spacious and perfect for dogs due to being fenced in all the way.
perfect for a great location to stay and adventure to the beach with a lovely walk to it comfy and clean will be going back as secluded garden for dogs
Sunny Cottage is well equipped, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. It is in a quiet location in the heart of Southrepps with pub, shop and parking all only a couple of minutes walk away. It is very dog friendly , I was impressed by the loan of a ramp to help our labrador climb into our car. It gave us an excellent to explore North Norfolk
