Perched on the rippling river banks of Horning, this wood-panelled lodge is ideal for a group of outdoor lovers seeking a waterfront escape their tufty-pawed pal. Parched dogs can refuel with chilled water bowls and pupcakes at the quaint thatched roof cafe in Horning (700 metres), before sniffing in the salty ocean air from the harbourfront balcony.
This contemporary waterside retreat features an upside-down interior with creamy neutral tones, polished leather textures, and breezy balcony access. Unclip harnesses and towel off wet paws at the door before scoping out the ground-floor bedrooms. Unwind in the two en-suite doubles with private decking access, or the cosy twin. Ascend the stairs to the open-plan living space. Slide open the magnificent bifold doors to create a balmy indoor-outdoor space. Sun lovers can snooze on the balcony while the rest of the pack stretch out on the plump sofas for a blether. Whip up a simple supper in the wooden shaker kitchen then feast together around the dining table, bathed in the light of the Velux windows. Outdoors, perch on the balcony with a morning brew, or step out onto the deck and woof hello to the boats bobbing into the harbour. Completing the property is a private mooring space.
Sea-faring pups can embark on a kayaking adventure along the Horning waterways (within 100 metres) before settling in for an afternoon tipple at one of the local pubs (within 500 metres) welcoming four-pawed patrons. Further afield, well-behaved hounds can glide through Norfolk countryside aboard the Bure Valley Railway from Wroxham (4 miles).
