Property code: OC-A26786

A huge, enclosed garden is just one of the features that make this dog-friendly holiday home such a good choice for pet-loving packs. Sleeping four guests and one dog on the edge of The Norfolk Broads, you can really get stuck into the endless coast and countryside appeal of this local area with man’s best friend standing loyally at your side. The property lends itself perfectly to two couples holidaying together, bringing along one four-pawed pal in search of belly rubs, long walks and endless games of fetch on sandy beaches.

Offering a unique blend of elegant décor and original cottage features, this top dog cottage offers that instant wow factor. On the ground floor, two super-king-size bedrooms await, both served by a family bathroom and one with a versatile zip-and-link bed. Both bedrooms offer soft linens and boutique-style furnishings, an ideal place to rest dog-tired bodies after days of adventure. Upstairs, your furry friend will adore having their entire pack in one open-plan space, moving between masters whilst you cook, sip and unwind in the lounge/kitchen/diner. You’ll certainly set tails wagging when you take the party outdoors, enjoying the garden with seating options and a large, secure lawn for your pet to play on.

Broads, beaches and rivers lie waiting to be sniffed out in the surrounding Norfolk National Park, so let Fido lead the way in search of some wonderful sights. Leave no stick unfetched as you walk along the River Bure (0.5 miles), explore Filby Broad (2.5 miles) or make your way to the beach at Caister-on-Sea (5 miles). The wide, sandy beach in this coastal village is dog-friendly, and you can follow the dune-backed coastline all the way from here to the lively resort town of Great Yarmouth (8 miles).

A wonderful stay in a beautifully presented Norfolk barn We had a fantastic stay at this Norfolk barn. The owner has clearly put a great deal of thought and care into making sure everything is just right for guests. The property is decorated to a high standard throughout, and everything from kitchenware to appliances was in excellent, as-new cRead moreondition. The bedrooms were very comfortable, with quality bed linen and furnishings that made it feel like a boutique stay. The garden was also beautifully kept and a lovely place to relax. The barn is in a peaceful rural setting, ideal for walking straight from the door, and yet still only about 20 minutes from the coast. The owner was incredibly helpful, providing us with a range of recommendations for local pubs, cafes, and restaurants all of which were spot on. Truly dog friendly. We couldnt have asked for more and would happily return. Highly recommended. Hide

Beautifully decorated, nice garden and covered parking for the car which was nice. Location is perfect - not too far from 'civilisation' but it feels like it.
