Make yourselves at home in this quintessentially English cottage surrounded by a leafy south-facing garden and set in the peaceful village of Hindringham. This secluded hideaway is wonderful for a relaxing group getaway or family holiday with up to three tufty-pawed members in tow. Bask in the serenity of your surroundings and sniff out the crumbling monastic ruins of Binham Priory (2.5 miles).
Constructed using local Norfolk brick and flint, this charming property boasts a bright interior with exposed beams, stable doors, and crisp neutral tones. Bound along the stepping stone pathway then towel off muddy paws at the door before entering the sunny lobby area. Perch on the sofa as you slide off boots then gather around the circular dining table to indulge in post-adventure nibbles and drinks. Scope out the airy shaker kitchen and cook up a storm then sneak a treat to your canine assistants. After supper, unwind in the lounge with a brew and a movie or browse the games selection and get tails wagging with a high-stakes evening of entertainment. Slink away to the light-flooded conservatory and curl up on the cane seating to admire the garden views or delve back into your novel. Ascend the steep cottage-style stairs to the thoughtfully styled sleeping areas, consisting of a king-size, a small double, and a twin. After morning walkies, curious canines can snuffle in the south-facing garden while the humans indulge in an al fresco breakfast spread on the patio.
Cultured canines and their well-behaved owners can step back in time as they bound aboard the North Norfolk Railway (9.5 miles) to admire the rolling country landscape in vintage steam train style. Soak up the area’s rich local heritage with a scamper along the Holt Owl Trail (8 miles) or enjoy blustery afternoon walkies on the doggy-designated stretch of sand at Holkham Beach (10 miles).
