No one needs to be left behind with a holiday at this two-bed house with fairytale good looks. This quirky cottage is conveniently located in the heart of the charming and historic village of Snettisham. It’s a Grade II-listed cottage offering holidaymakers the best of its lovely original features with well-equipped interiors and a welcoming feel that will make you feel like a top dog. It’s ideal as a romantic retreat for a couple or as a base for friends to explore North Norfolk’s sights and sounds.

Take a moment to admire the warm-coloured stone facade, beautiful windows and decorative roofline before heading inside your holiday escape via its listed door. The whole house cleverly mixes elegant, antique furnishings and period features such as Dado rails and cottage-style doors with modern fittings and design. You don’t have to worry about paws and carpets as there’s wooden or tile flooring throughout downstairs. The open-plan lounge/diner is a comfortable space with a wood burner in the whitewashed chimney and a dining table set for four. Sleeping quarters are upstairs, comprising one super-king-size bedroom (can be a twin) and one double – both are spacious and stylish. The cute courtyard outside is fully enclosed and affords good privacy with its attractive stone walls.

Walks abound here, so lead the way to adventure from this fabulous spot. Take a wander to the Norfolk Lavender Farm (2 miles) which houses the National Lavender Collection. Dogs are allowed in the main grounds/outdoors. For coastal canine capers, Old Hunstanton Beach (5.5 miles) is a great shout as it’s dog-friendly and offers miles of golden sand. Four-legged friends are also welcome in the grounds of the Royal Sandringham Estate (4 miles). Keen birdwatchers will enjoy Snettisham RSPB Nature Reserve (dogs on leads).

An attractive cottage in a great location in a lovely friendly village. The cottage is comfortable and spacious with everything required. All the equipment functioned properly and was easy to use. Some TLC is required. The sofas are very worn, the curtains and carpets are a bit grubby. The door to the garden can be difficult to open and a simple stRead moreop would prevent the door crashing into the bathroom wall. A proper clean and some attention to detail would improve things. That said it was a very comfortable stay and we enjoyed the cottage for its features and location. Hide

Such a fantastic cottage. Right in the heart of the village, which is great. Secure yard if you're taking a dig and brilliant circular walks right on your doorstep. The idea place to explore North Norfolk. You've also got what's probably the best caf in Norfolk about 20 yards away!!

The cottage was lovely and quirky and the furniture added to its charm. There were quite a few nails that were sticking up on the floorboards which need addressing, so tread carefully. The location and area were beautiful, which made it very easy to travel to other local areas of interest, especially Holt, which was the most friendly dog place weRead more have visited. We would recommend this cottage for a lovely peaceful break. Hide

We had a lovely stay at Dutch house with our 3 month old and 3 dogs. I had seen a review suggesting may not be good for dogs or babies due to noise from the restaurant next door. We slept with the windows open and didnt have any issues with noise. We stayed Monday - Friday so perhaps it is noisier over the weekend but for us was fine. The courtRead moreyard garden was ideal for our three dogs. The walls and gate are a good 6ft high. There is a small gap under the gate, but we just moved the bins infront of this so our escape artists couldnt succeed! The cottage was well equipped and is in a great location being just minutes walk away from the shop and pubs. Parking was ideal being right infront of the door. We did have an issue with an alarm going off, but the owner came straight out to resolve this nice and quickly. Hide
