Property code: OC-1389

A cosy country cottage with a secluded leafy garden, located on the fringes of Banningham and ideal for tail-wagging adventures in North Norfolk. This romantic abode is perfect for a couple and their four-pawed amigo. Playful pups can feel the salty wind in their fur as they bound along the beach hut-lined shoreline of Mundesley Beach (9.5 miles), before returning to the property and scoffing a chew on the enclosed lawn while the humans get dinner sizzling on the BBQ.

This homely hideaway features a bright interior with earthy wooden textures, calming neutral tones, and open-plan living space. Slide off sandy shoes at the door and step into the light-flooded lounge/kitchen/diner. Kick up weary feet on the sofa and unwind with your snoozy dog curled by your feet. Stock up the cupboards with locally sourced goodies then prepare supper in the airy shaker kitchen. Crack open a bottle of bubbly then settle in for a leisurely dinner at the wooden dining table, bathed in the natural light of the bay window. As the night draws in, lay out Fido’s bed in a cosy corner then retire to the tranquil double bedroom with rustic exposed wooden beams and a handy en-suite shower room. Enjoy your morning brew perched on the patio while your curious canine sniffs out his new stomping ground.

Grab a frothy coffee and stroll through the quaint streets of North Walsham (5 miles) to sniff out the fragrant flowers, food samples, and local crafts at the weekly Thursday market. Crunch through leaves and scamper beneath ancient trees with an afternoon amble at Bacton Wood (7 miles). Cosmopolitan canines can take their pick of wonderful eateries in Norwich (15 miles) where four-pawed patrons are welcome while well-behaved owners sip a local ale.

The cottage although small is very well equipped. The shower room is small and could be a bit of a squeeze for a larger person. The garden is enclosed with a five bar gate. It was fine for my Golden Retriever but smaller dogs may need to be tethered to stop them getting out. The location is excellent for country walks and is also close to the coastRead moreal resorts. Theres a local pub which serves great food. Overall a great stay even though the weather was bad. Hide

The shower was very good, easy to work, tiny bathroom,toilet situated very close to a bi fold door, a large person would find it difficult to use. There was a good walk down the lane and along a disused railway line,plenty of wild life, deer, hares and lots of different birds. We didn't see the owners but the locals were all very friendly. The cRead moreottage was situation central to the coast and countryside,easy to drive to.Lots to see. The bed was very comfy Hide
