Property code: OC-T28312

An exquisite cottage in a charming village that lies 10 miles from the Royal Sandringham Estate. The dog-friendly cottage features cosy and inviting living areas, versatile bedrooms and an enclosed garden. It is the ideal rural retreat for families or groups of friends keen to explore the Norfolk Coast AONB and surrounding countryside with their four-legged friends in tow.

The property, a former post office, is set across three floors and is as cosy on the inside as it looks on the outside. The interior has retained its original layout, with exposed wooden roof beams watching over warm rooms dotted with contemporary fixtures and soft furnishings. This homely ambience is beautifully enhanced by the neighbouring kitchen, a foodie’s dream, with plenty of room to experiment before dishes are brought through to the dining room just a few pawprints beyond. The nearby utility room is handy for dealing with mucky pups. Upstairs, two king-size bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, a twin bedroom and a family bathroom make up the first floor, while a super-king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room dominates the second floor. The enclosed garden at the rear awaits dog-friendly children’s games on the lawn and BBQ suppers on the adjacent patio area.

West Rudham (within 0.5 miles) is handy for essentials and a swift pint before dinner, while the whole area is surrounded by attractive countryside waiting to be explored along various lanes and trails. The Royal Sandringham Estate is a must for monarchists and Holkham Hall (17 miles) will be a hit with history lovers. Holt, Sheringham and Wells-next-the-Sea (all within 25 miles) have welcomed dog owners for generations thanks to their vibrant cultural centres.

  • 4 bedrooms – 1 super-king-size, 2 king-size and 1 twin

What an amazing cottage. We loved our time here and we had everything we needed. The pub over the road did great meals and the cottage is located in a great central position for all the beaches and Sandringham house is just a stones throw away.

Truly wonderful accommodation for a group of friends to get together and spend some quality time in a wonderful location. The property was big enough to not be under each others feet but also cosy enough to snuggle up on the sofas in the evening to watch a movie all together. We had a Coronation afternoon tea in the wonderful dining room, had SundaRead morey lunch at the local pub across the way and sat outside in the sunshine in the garden.

The cottage is very comfortable and well appointed. It is set a few metres from a busy road and there is a lot of traffic noise especially in summer with windows open. Didnt bother us as we sleep well but we were aware of it. The local pub is great.

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Very comfortable and had everything you would need for a short or long stay. Old property so very noisy when anybody is walking around upstairs. Garden very secure for your pets or children. Would highly recommend this property.

Cottage was comfy, well equipped and bedrooms sumptuous. Cobwebs hanging from ceiling in green room. Filter in dishwasher full of muck, so we cleaned it. The hoover looked fine but poor suction. It was thickly clogged with hair,dirt and dust and we had to pick wads of it out. We washed the filter and container so clean now. I don't know how often tRead morehe owners visit, but garden and hoover were poor. I would recommend with the proviso people understand the road noise, assuming the cleanliness and garden issues sorted. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your experience and appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our service. Hide

We cannot recommend this cottage highly enough! Beautifully presented, well equipped and finished to an exceptional standard, it has everything you need for a perfect stay. The house is spacious, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, providing plenty of room for our group of 6 and 2 dogs. The secure, enclosed garden was ideal for our dogs, and jusRead moret across the road, The Crowne Inn offered delicious food in a welcoming setting. The location is fantastic, with easy access to Holkham beach and a lovely field next to the Village Hall where we could let our dogs run off-lead. Being next to the road meant some occasional traffic noise, but this did not take away from the overall enjoyment of our stay. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, making it feel like a true home away from home. We had a wonderful Christmas stay and would not hesitate to book again! Hide

We stay in about 3 or 4 cottages a year and this was categorically the best we've stayed in. The house is beautiful, tasteful and nearly every little detail had been considered and catered for.

Absolutely no complaints about the property, it was exceptionally clean, comfortable and equipped. In a great place to visit beaches, stately homes and other towns and places of interest. Only downside was the traffic noise, which became a problem at times.
