Sleeping ten guests and two fun-loving hounds, this charming cottage in rural North Norfolk sits in the peaceful village of Syderstone, by open fields, so you can enjoy country walks and cycle rides as soon as you arrive. It would be easy to stay and simply relax in this peaceful spot, though Beethoven and Daisy are bound to be greedy and request full-day trips. There’s a shop for essentials nearby (5 miles). The market town of Fakenham offers further shops, pubs, and eateries (7.5 miles).
Step up one external step into this historic property which has contemporary country-style interiors. Unwind in the cosy living room by the SmartTV, and toasty wood burner. If you need a break from hound-begging, there’s a relaxing crow’s nest (accessed by cottage-style stairs) where you can read a favourite book. If that doesn’t work, step into the beautiful timber-beamed kitchen to source canine-worthy treats. As night falls, you’ll find two bedrooms on the ground floor. There are three further bedrooms, including a twin zip and link, and some lower ceiling areas upstairs. Outside, the spacious enclosed lawned garden and sunny patio are ideal for children and four-legged friends to enjoy.
Canine companions will love the beach huts on the western shores of Wells-next-the-Sea, a popular spot for canine networking (9.5 miles). Explore Holkham Estate (9 miles) abundant with acres of pinewoods, gardens, a boating lake and a wide sandy beach for nomadic paws (11 miles). Enjoy a wildlife safari from Morston Quay and Blakeney Point (15.5 miles) where you can spot seals. Go shopping in the pretty market towns of Fakenham (7.5 miles) and Burnham Market (7 miles). And discover the off-road countryside cycle route from Sandringham Visitor Centre to Bircham Windmill.
