Escape to the country with all your family – including two of its furriest members. Formerly two cottages, this property has been expertly renovated to create a spacious holiday home in a quiet haven 4 miles from the seafaring town of Yarmouth. The large enclosed garden is great for playing ball games and hide-and-seek, while the swings and trampoline are sure to be a big hit with the kids.
The property lets in lots of light through its many windows and is elegantly decorated in calming colours throughout. In the lounge, there’s room for everyone to snuggle up in front of the Smart TV and warm their toes – or paws – by the open fire. The spacious dining area is a lovely place to gather everyone together for a family celebration. If you want to read in peace or let sleeping dogs lie, head to the sunny conservatory overlooking the garden. Upstairs, the master suite has its own Smart TV, en-suite shower room and a dressing room that is big enough for a cot or extra bed for a child. Outside, there’s a spacious lawn to scamper around on and an outbuilding where you can store bikes and dog supplies.
Yarmouth has a bustling marina and a great choice of restaurants, while 2 miles around the coast is Colwell Bay, which has a section of beach to the right of the slipway where dogs can run free all year round. Also not to be missed is The Needles Landmark Attraction (8 miles). While dogs aren’t allowed to ride on the chairlift down to the beach, they can wander around the park if kept on a lead. For the kids, there’s a 4D cinema and sand souvenir-making.
