Immerse yourselves in picturesque Norfolk when you and your loved one escape to this dog-friendly barn for two. The one-bedroom retreat is situated at Dunston, on the edge of the village of Stoke Holy Cross, 5 miles from Norwich, in countryside with an abundance of great walks. It has a private patio and benefits from access to a shared lawned garden where you can take your pal to play whenever he needs to let off steam. There is also a shared tennis court where you can knock a few balls about if you choose.

Step inside your single-storey bolthole, with your pup padding behind. At the heart of the barn is a lounge/kitchen/diner, with a vaulted ceiling and ample space for everyone to unwind together. Whip up delicious dinners for two in the kitchen area and serve your furry friend here too. Dine at the table then watch the Smart TV during cosy nights in, while you happy hound stretches on the rug and daydreams about his day of doggy adventures. When day turns to night, settle him in the main room before heading through to the king-size bedroom, with en-suite shower room, to rest your head on your pillow. There is also a separate WC at the hideaway. Take your energetic pup for a morning run on the lawn before making coffee to enjoy on the patio.

Enjoy the barn as a base from which to explore the magnificent Norfolk Broads. This impressive area of wetlands begins just 4 miles away and offers a myriad of paths to follow with your four-pawed friend by your side. Try Whitlingham Country Park, 5 miles away, with its route that takes you right round the lake. Venture 14 miles to Wroxham to hire a day cruiser on which pups are also welcome.

Like virtually everyone else that has reviewed we loved the barn. Very well appointed & comfortable. Right in the middle of the country but so close to the ring-road & Norwich. No hesitation in booking again next time we are in the area. Dogs need to be supervised in the garden as they could access the road.

The cottage was outstanding. Ideal location for getting to places of interest. We found it very quite and peaceful whilst on our weeks stay. A little difficult to locate in the dark:). Outside light by the parking area in the winter would help. Would stay at this location again:)

A dog was left chained up in the garden next door for 2 days constantly barking day and night. We had no sleep for 2 days. Ridiculous. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. Weve spoken to the owner and the issue has now been resolved.

This barn has everything you could want and more!! The welcome goodies were a lovely touch. The grounds are well kept and it was lovely to see all the wildlife around. We had a really relaxing stay. Close enough to Norwich but also in the middle of nowhere. We would love to come back in the future.

Lovely setting in a rural peaceful location but only 10 minutes from Norwich. The barn is a real gem. Superbly furnished and equipped. A great base for exploring North and South Norfolk and even into Suffolk. We have no hesitation in recommending this lovely accommodation and we will be revisiting at some time in the future.

Arrived here 2nd Sept til the 6th Sept 2024. Beautiful accomodation very clean, kitchen very well equipped and bed very comfortable. Welcome pack a lovely thought as well. Property very close to the Norfolk broads and Norwich. Cromer, Holt and Sheringham 45 mins away. Two restaurants near by 2 mins by car 15 min walk otherwise, but the road to walRead morek to the pubs in the dark is unsafe as no lights so wouldnt recommend walking when its dark. Outside patio lovely at Hazel Barn and large field for dogs etc. Tesco store 5 mins drive away. Lovely village called Lodden 7 miles away worth a visit and Wroxham certainly worth a vist. We will definitely stay again Hide
