Pack your bucket and spade, this is the perfect home from home for a brilliant seaside holiday. There is lots to see and do in the lovely seaside town of Gorleston-on-Sea, including a beach that welcomes dogs all year round so they’ll love the sea breeze in their ears. The town has a gorgeous bay with a sweeping sandy beach and a promenade running alongside (accessible for pushchairs), there’s also a splashpad and model yacht pond to keep kids entertained.

The cottage is in a wonderful location and has two bedrooms: one is a king-size, the other is ideal for children with fun bunk beds. There’s a playful nautical theme in the living room where you can snuggle up with your pups in front of the wood burner and a lovely cottage-style kitchen too. Outside is an enclosed courtyard, where you can sit and relax knowing it’s safe for your canine companions and little ones.

Spend days as a family relaxing on the beach or, for a fun trip out, head to Great Yarmouth, 3 miles away, to enjoy the rides at the pleasure beach. Great Yarmouth is also home to the Sea Life Aquarium and the Marina Leisure Centre, where there’s a swimming pool, gym and a Clip ‘n Climb. You can explore the Norfolk Broads (5 miles away) or take your clubs and play a round of golf at Gorleston Golf Club, just 1 mile away – visitors are always welcome. If you’re keen cyclists and want to take your bikes away with you, there’s storage for them at the house. If you want a bit of city life, Norwich is 20 miles away where there’s a theatre, cathedral, castle and aviation museum, and canine-friendly walks on Mousehold Heath - 184 acres of walks and woodlands near the cathedral - and in beautiful Eaton Park with a cafe that welcomes four-legged friends.

The Cottage was well equipped throughout and the owners were very welcoming and attentive to any needs. It was an ideal base for us to visit the coastal areas of Norfolk & Suffolk along with the neighbouring Broads.

Although the steep stairs are mentioned, and we had no problems, I wonder if that fact should be more prominent in the description of the (delightful) property.

A very clean, well-stocked cottage. The stairs are quite steep and the treads quite narrow, so people with difficulty using stairs would be advised to think carefully before booking. The cottage is only a couple of minutes from a superb beach, and two hotels which provide really good meals.
