Open the French windows and let your deliriously delighted dog bound out across the large garden at this Norfolk retreat. Sleeping six guests and simply heaven for hounds, the three-bedroom cottage is set in Cley next the Sea, Norfolk. Renowned for its enchanting coastal and saltmarsh walks, this picturesque location is perfect for both people and pets who savour the great outdoors.
Open the door, shuffle off your boots and hang the dog lead in the hall before heading through to the open-plan kitchen/diner to give your four-legged friend a much-needed drink. Make the next meal for everyone else then wander through to the lounge to light the open fire. Find a film on the Smart TV while your chum chooses a comfortable spot to curl up in or open the doors to the garden and take him outside. There is a conservatory, with underfloor heating, downstairs where you and your faithful friend can relax together and a utility room where you can rinse any damp dog towels in the washing machine. Climb the stairs at the end of each exhilarating day to enjoy a good night’s sleep in the super-king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room, the king-size or the twin. The family bathroom is up here too and there is a study. Gaze out across the open fields from the garden as your furry friend races about to his heart’s content. There is parking for three cars.
Lace up your boots, call your delighted dog and walk just 1.5 miles from the house to reach the shingle beach at Cley. Energetic hounds and their owners might like to attempt the 10-mile coastal walk from Cley to Wells-next-the-Sea.
