A fabulous holiday cottage, even better than the photos . A generous welcome pack,kind helpful hosts. Our dogs loved the field and the assortment of toys .
From the moment you walk through the door, you realise what a gem this Barn is. The owners have thought of everything you might need to make your holiday perfect. It is also truly dog welcoming, with throws, bowls, toys and treats provided. The location is wonderful, short stroll to the beach and local cafe. Lots to do in the area, we were lucky to do the tour of the Happisburgh lighthouse, really interesting. Can’t wait to return.
A wonderful, relaxing week at The Lobster. We loved absolutely everything about it - a great welcome pack, private path to the stunning beach, luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms & beautifully furnished. It is so well designed inside and out. Our dog really enjoyed the garden and the Charley Chau dog beds provided. We could happily have stayed put all week but did a few trips out to East Ruston Old Vicarage Gardens, Bacton Woods, Eden in Stalham, Smallsticks, Watsons and the Gunton Arms. Another gem, thank you to the owners and team ERC. Really hope to return if we can get booked!
Can’t speak highly enough of east Ruston cottages , our stay at the lookout was amazing, sally the owner went above and beyond for us, can’t wait to go back
Bacton is a lovely area, closer areas are easy to reach. The cabin fitted our needs completely. Close to the beach, lovely cafe nearby and handy convenience store that stocks well.
we absolutely loved our stay. The cottage was immaculate and the welcome goodies were amazing. Location was perfect , very quiet and relaxing but still close to beaches. Really dog friendly-probably the best dog friendly cottage we’ve ever been to. Thank your
We just returned from our third stay at Thatched Cottage, and it was, as always, an absolute delight. Paul and Lisa are not just hosts; they have become wonderful friends who make us feel so welcome and cared for from the moment we arrive. Their attention to detail in the cottage is superb—every room is thoughtfully designed and maintained to perfection. Our two furry companions, Smudge the dog and Ollie the 23-year-old cat, also had the time of their lives. It's so rare to find a place that is so welcoming to all of our family members. A highlight of this trip was the private boat trip Paul...more
We’ve just had another wonderful week, the welcome hamper is excellent, the property is very clean, even the dogs beds ! There is nothing that you can improve on , it’s perfect. Lovely patio area the opens up into an enclosed secure paddock. Will be booking for next year !
Fabulous cottage , cosy , clean ,comfortable and well equipped . Welcome basket was amazing and much appreciated . The large smart tv was a great addition too . Trunch is a lovely village , country walks from the cottage and a short drive to the beach . A very dog friendly cottage to which we will definitely return .
We all absolutely loved Jacks Shack. Caroline has thought of everything and the cottage was so well equipped and stocked. The location was perfect for us with everything we needed close by. We were blessed with excellent weather and spent many happy hours on the beach and swimming.
We loved this thatched barn conversion, so much space I doors and out, even a little orchard where we could have our family badminton games. It was very close to 2 lovely beaches and easy travelling distance to The Broads. All you could ever want was provided with a fantastic welcome pack and the loveliest vase of freshly cut home grown flowers.
We normally stay in Bumblebee on the same site but needed extra space. Walnut is charming and very well equipped. There’s been thought put into the decor, equipment and finish. It’s spotlessly clean and its location for beach and countryside walks is perfect. The owners are on site, friendly and discreet. They take a real pride in the place and providing the perfect holiday environment. We will be back, that’s the truth! Back to bumblebee in November!!
Great place especially for my dogs who don't do beach so the enclosed paddock is ideal. We would have preferred a walk in shower instead of the climbing into a bath as we are not youngsters. Overall a great place.
We’ve stayed at the Dormy quite a lot, both in summer and winter and every time we arrive we are as excited as if it’s our first experience. Our dogs are probably more excited than us. They loved jumping out of the van and into the big fenced garden with the visiting rabbits and pigeons - all of which are quickly chased away. Relaxing here is so easy as it’s a bright, airy and comfy living space with a fabulously stocked welcome basket, with all we needed for a yummy cooked breakfast to kick start our holiday. We loved being a few steps from the beach and hearing the waves as the tide came i...more
A fabulous place to stay. The owners have thought of everything to ensure your dog has a wonderful time. Great communication in advance of the stay, including sample itineraries and checking dietary requirements for the welcome pack. The welcome pack was outstanding, so thoughtful. The owners were friendly and welcoming. Attention to detail outstanding. The dog friendly enclosed areas were much appreciated. The patio was a great place to relax after a busy day sight seeing.
We loved our stay at Sandrift. We arrived and there was a roomy driveway to park. Inside it was very welcoming and homely. There was everything that anyone would want. A well equipped kitchen, comfy sofas and comfortable beds. There was an extra large crate for our dog Arthur which saved us taking ours. Arthur loved the front and back gardens which were very secure. I felt confident in letting him out into the gardens without the worry of him escaping. The welcome pack was absolutely amazing with treats for the humans and lovely handmade biscuits for Arthur. It was only a short walk t...more
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 have had the most wonderful holiday at Ruby Gem. The cottage was beautiful and in such a a quiet but central village location, fantastically situated for easy and quick access to the beach across the beautiful dunes. It is, without question, the most well equipped self catering cottage we have ever stayed in - from buckets and spades to dog treats, delicious home made cakes to dressing gowns, binoculars to games and books - there is everything here that you could want! We, our two grandchildren aged 12 and 8, and two dogs absolutely loved our holiday here - we were sad to leave but will de...more
We loved our stay at Woodpecker Lodge. The accommodation was fantastic with everything we could possibly want and need. Our dog was certainly spoiled with the variety of treats, toys and beds to use and he loved playing in the garden before heading off to the amazing nearby beaches.. The nearby building work did not disturb as when we were in the garden as luckily they were not working nearby whilst we stayed. Overall a fantastic stay and we were really impressed. I’m sure we will be back!
A beautifully located and picturesque cottage with everything needed for an excellent holiday. Lots of walks from the cottage and easy proximity to beaches and other attractions. Very comfortable and well equipped.
We just had another wonderful stay at Hidden Gem. Everything you can think you may need has already been thought of and provided. The garden is a lovely area to relax and catch some sun. Going straight out onto the dunes and beach and with fabulous walks from the door the dogs were living their best lives. Winterton is a lovely village. Pub, cafes, shop and chip shop are all very good. Can't praise the area or Hidden Gem enough. Already plotting our return.
This is an outstanding property … exactly what was needed for our large party + 4 dogs. We had an impromptu ‘dog agility’ event in the spacious garden (soon overtaken by two small children!) and the dining and sitting areas are perfect for a large party. Walks from the door and dog friendly beaches only 10 minutes - what more could we ask for?
Broads Cottage is a lovely place to stay and has very comfortable beds and sofas and 2 great showers and a super deep bath! We were a bit worried about the garden being next to the road through the village but it was so quiet we didn’t need to worry. The dogs were relaxed in the garden and hardly a car or person went past. The garden is secure for most dogs, as long as your dog doesn’t jump or try and escape. Lovely walks along the Broads from the door, beaches just a 15 minute drive away. A friendly small local shop and a dog friendly pub a very short walk away which served great food. Gat...more
We stayed for 3 weeks due to renovation work at home. The hosts were not extremely friendly and accommodating. The property had everything you could possibly need down to the last detail. Our dogs loved it. Close to Bacton Woods, Bacton Beach (dog friendly from the car park) and Pogmey woods. We took trips out to Felbrigg and Blickling and had amazing weather throughout. Peaceful, quiet and perfect.
Absolutely love the Crib - as soon as we enter the lovely garden and house all the stress goes away! It's so comfortable and we enjoy every second.
Lovely annex, well equipped. Tracie was very welcoming. Lovely cake and goodies supplied. Good base to explore the surrounding area.
The farmhouse is a large, dog friendly house with two games rooms. We enjoy our time at the farmhouse this is our second visit we are a small family but this house gets us together and off phones and i pads. Playing Pool and darts are our main games and we have other family members who we visit when in Norfolk so they also come and enjoy the games rooms. When the farmhouse is full of people it’s large enough for everyone to find something to do or find a space for quiet chill out time or a chat.
This is our third stay at Corner Cottage and we still love it just as much as the first. Our dog knows as soon as we pull up, where we are! He was absolutely desperate to get inside and get his head in the dog toy basket. He appreciated the biscuits and now believes Corner Cottage is an an all inclusive buffet provided for his needs! Inside is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's spacious and clean and has many dog bits, lots of beds, towels, extra leads and yellow bits for reactive dogs, which was great for our boy. Its such a great stay for our reactive Lab...more
The location of this property is great, literally a short walk to the lovely dog friendly beach. The welcome pack is very thoughtful & a nice little touch. You have everything you need for your furry family member & they are free to roam everywhere. Which is one of the main reasons we chose it. The little extras like beach umbrella were appreciated too. I do feel the property could do with a little TLC here & there to freshen it up, as soon parts are looking a little worn & tired. I feel it would be beneficial to have some form of fake grass in the garden for the dogs, although I know th...more
We keep coming back to Winterton. Beachcomber is lovely, everything you need. Rachel's a great host. It's a must!
We loved our stay here. First of all, the cottage is spacious! We came with our 2 German Shepherd dogs and there was plenty of room to move around. The garden was lovely to sit in and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening sunshine. Highly recommend the bakery down the road. The beach is super close which makes for some lovely walks, we visited good old Yarmouth only a short drive away and also Winterton-on-sea which is super pretty. We loved Brigg cottage and would stay again!
Lovely location, very peaceful, but in a central location for visiting both coast and countryside. Lots of walks available from the cottage, along with lots a short car ride away. Very good welcoming pack for both humans and dogs. As dogs are allowed everywhere, it is the first time I've gone away with our dog and not had to worry about where she was going or sitting. A very secure garden, full fenced, so no worries there either.
Lovely cottage just moments walk from a dog friendly, sandy beach - which was pretty much deserted whatever time of day we went. Good, secure garden for dogs (and humans) .Quiet location opposite fields on a tiny lane leading to the beach access. Great dog friendly cafes in easy walking distance.
We have just returned from a lovely week at Boundary Lodge. We found the cottage to be very clean, comfortable and well equipped (although the controls on the hob took a bit of getting used to ) The location was lovely with the Broad, nature reserve and two pubs near by. Plus 4 lovely beaches all within 5 miles. The garden had a lovely tree in it which gave plenty of shade even on the hottest days.
Skylark chalet is excellent for a quiet relaxing holiday. The chalet is on a private estate with enormous grass area for children to play games or benches to just sit and admire the fantastic view of the dunes. The walk through the valley and up the dunes is a strenuous walk for us in our 80’s but the view of the deserted beach beyond is certainly worth it. We stayed for a very warm week during August which saw a few people on the beach, but when walking the dogs early morning and late afternoon we were lucky to see two or three people doing the same. The sunrise is certainly worth getting...more
Thatch Cottage is a lovely family home in an amazing location. The garden is great and our dog and nephew loved running around in the space. 15 minute walk to the quiet beach and great walks from the door.
Super dog friendly and very well equipped with dog bowls / beds / pushchairs etc. Very impressive welcome pack for dogs and people.
We wanted to escape to somewhere quiet and relaxing and the Lodge was perfect. A good garden with different seating areas was great for us and the dog. Great walks straight from the door. We hardly saw anyone all week. A bit different to our home town during carnival week. The Lodge was comfortable and clean. The shower room could do with a bit of a spruce up, but worked well and was clean. Overall a good week
Had a much needed 5 day break in East Cottage, Walnut Farm, Waxham. It was everything we hoped for. We have an exempt XL Bully and the secure high-fenced (landscaped for us and him) gave us great peace of mind to let him have freedom in the garden. Walks to the beach mapped out on a little welcoming postcard along with walks around the farm. Everywhere was very clean and extremely ‘home from home’ . The Welcoming pack was well-received and enjoyed! If our dog could talk he would say that the owners had definitely thought of his needs too, toys, bowls, treats, lounge rugs and great garden/groun...more
We (2 adults, a 3 year old child and a 5 year old dog) had a wonderful stay at Farthing Cottage. We were pleasantly surprised when we opened up the cottage door and found such a lovely place, the photos don’t do it justice! Our dog loved lying on the stone floor to keep cool (it has underfloor heating in the winter so she’d probably love it then too). The kitchen has everything you could possibly think of and the welcome basket was very generous. There are beaches within a 10 minute drive. We will definitely come again and explore the area more. We also need to try out the village pub for a me...more
We had a delightful long weekend at Badger's Retreat. We had rain and sun in equal measure but were able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the garden and surrounding area. The road going past it has about one car a day. The Weavers Way is 5 minutes walk away and the beautiful beaches a short drive away. We walked to the Swan in Stalham which was very good and also went to Smallsticks and Poppylands cafes which were excellent. When it rained it was cosy to sit and read in the conservatory. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. The fully enclosed garden was enjoyed by my spaniel too. ...more
This is our second stay in Bristow Barns and we hope to rest many more times! It’s absolutely perfect for reactive dogs as the enclosed garden is very quiet. The surrounding walks are peaceful, we found the wooded garden at nearby Fairhaven perfect for a quiet walk when there is a heatwave.
We went to Vineyard Cottage for a short stay for a treat for my mother in law. Having 5 small dogs between us and not wanting to leave them we were please to find this cottage to house us and our fur babies. The stay was comfortable and had absolutely everything we needed. Customer service was excellent. Was a little bit disappointed when the Tesco delivery driver mentioned that it was an air bnb and when I looked it seemed cheaper to have gone through them. But I never thought to look or compare at the time of booking. Cannot fault the stay at all. Recommend this cottage for your furry vacati...more
We chose Red Roofs because we needed a dog friendly home with four double bedrooms for a family holiday. Jane was fantastic in making sure the house was safe and ready for a toddler and a baby providing a larger travel cot and a baby chair. We arrived early while Jane was there and she was lovely, coming back to bring the baby chair. There was plenty of room for four couples to have a comfortable week and enough space to have time alone if needed. All the beds were incredibly comfortable and the bedrooms were very spacious with lots of storage. The little ones went in the upstairs room with th...more
The house and garden are good for people and dogs who can safely run free, care needed particularly for small dogs at this time of year with lots of grass seeds, our three thought it was great. Teenagers loved paddle boarding and kayaking from the mooring at the end of the garden. Plenty of room in the house for our multi generational family.
Lovely peaceful cottage, great location. East Cottage has a beautiful large garden both hoomins & dogs enjoyed. It was lovely to listen to the birds in the garden first thing in the morning. The hot tub was amazing & we had perfect weather with only 1/2 days rain. The beds were incredibly comfortable & we all had a great nights sleep.
Great place, the walks are wonderful, lovely goodies thank you. Only thing negative is the hot water temperature is so hot it was hard to set the shower at a bareable temp. The enclosed garden big bonus. We would stay again.
