You’ll wake up each morning feeling like a top dog when staying in this exceptional barn-conversion, a pet-friendly place tucked away in the centre of Wells-next-the-Sea. A perfect choice for any pack who prefers to leave the car behind, this holiday home is within dog-walking distance of vibrant nature reserves and fantastic beaches, all of which can be inquisitively explored with man’s best friend leading the way. The property itself is a clean and contemporary three-bed with space for six humans and one canine companion to spend quality time together, whether that be getting cosy together indoors or catching the last of the evening sunshine in the secure courtyard garden.
With plenty of space for positioning your dog’s favourite home comforts, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner presents a welcoming hub for the whole family. Prepare a delicious dinner in the modern kitchen, always saving a treat or two for your favourite four-pawed pal, before sitting down together in the dining room. In warm weather, feel free to throw open French doors to allow your pup free roam to pad around outside. At the end of each adventure-packed day, drag your dog-tired bodies into three separate bedrooms. There’s a ground-floor en-suite bunk bedroom that’s perfect for kids (restricted height on top bunk) and both a king-size and a twin on the first floor.
Set tails wagging with a trip to the beach, following the straight route down to Holkham Beach (1 mile) where dogs are always welcome. The area is backed by an ever-changing nature reserve with salt marshes, dunes and diverse wildlife, although be sure to keep your dog on a lead during certain months to protect local ground-nesting birds. Follow a pretty route via the East Fleet on the way home, stopping off at a local chippy to pick up a treat for any well-behaved members of the pack.
