Perfectly placed on the edge of the village, this beautifully presented cottage is steeped in history and ideal for a couple or a family and one beloved canine companion looking for a relaxing holiday on the Norfolk coast. Nearby, Heacham is a delightful village boasting some stunning beaches. South Beach (less than 2 miles) offers calm waters ideal for paddling and adventurous water sports such as kayaking, kite and windsurfing and welcomes your pup all year round.

A characterful two-storey cottage welcomes you and your hound into a cosy yet spacious lounge. The lounge is the heart of the house, with a Smart TV, plenty of comfortable seating, and a beautiful wood burner. Following the original floorboards around the space, you reach the dining area, while the farmhouse-style kitchen boasts all you need to rustle up some tasty treats. At the rear of the cottage is a gorgeous light-filled conservatory with views over the garden. There is a contemporary bathroom on this level. Upstairs comprises one king-size bedroom boasting a grand four-poster bed and a second bedroom with bunk beds. The conservatory opens onto a delightful courtyard, enclosed by a high stone wall – the ideal spot to catch the last of the day’s sun and safe for your children and four paws to relax.

From the promenade at Heacham, let your top dog lead the way on a gentle stroll to the neighbouring Victorian seaside town of Hunstanton (3.5 miles). Snettisham Woods (3 miles) is perfect for a woodland walk for all ages, and your hound promises to leave no stick unfetched around this forest trail. There are views of The Wash along the way. A great day out for all the family is Sandringham Park (7 miles), wth plenty of trails to set tails wagging.

If you're disabled this cottage is not for you. Step into kitchen from lounge quite big. Stairs to bedrooms really hard to negotiate and then further steps into main bedroom. Shower over bath so difficult to use if disabled. Cottage is adequately equipped. No garden apart from small area with 2 chairs and a table that barely fit the space. So not Read morevery dog friendly Hide

The cottage was comfortable and welcoming. It could benefit from an addition mirror in the master bedroom, one that does move around!

This is a very nice cottage. We spent a lovely week there, and benefitted from some beautiful weather.The bathroom and Kitchen were very clean and the property looks as though it has recently been redecorated throughout. It is in an excellent position for many tourist attractions and it is also on the bus route, and the buses are very reliable.

The cottage is perfectly located for exploring the Norfolk coast, Sandringham and Wroxham broad. It is spacious downstairs with excellent facilities.

Overall the cottage has charm and although the outside sitting area is limited but mitigated by Heacham beach nearby and a long promenade suitable for wheelchair use.. There was only my wife and I so the property more than fulfilled our needs. It would be a challenge accommodating 4 mature adults but when our children were younger they would have loved the bunk beds. The welcome pack was a nice touch. The owners were available if needed but we had no issues at all. Hide

All in all the cottage that we booked very very much last minute was really lovely - big enough for a couple & a doggie - minimal outdoor area to sit / play out in - but close enough to the beach.
