If you’re a pet-loving family or group of friends seeking a restful coastal holiday in North Norfolk, stay at this charming brick and flint cottage in Brancaster. You’ll be 1 mile from the glorious Brancaster Beach, accessible via a footpath your pet will certainly be keen to discover. Explore its sandy shoreland backed by stunning dunes, for a picturesque afternoon without needing the car. And when you’re all beached out, return to your cosy abode for a pre-dinner drink in its welcoming garden.
Inside, you’ll have a cosy lounge with plenty of seating for unwinding after a day's adventures. The well-equipped kitchen and dining area, with seating for four, provide a comfortable space for meal prep and dining with your pet. The enclosed garden is ideal for dogs and children to let off steam and there’s outdoor furniture for al fresco dining. A handy rear access gate allows you to bring in bikes.You’ll find plenty to do nearby, whether that’s absorbing the village atmosphere at Brancaster Staithe (2 miles), trying out some local seafood or tucking into quiet lunch in a dog-friendly pub. If you’re a golf fan, why not take your pet around the golf course at Hunstanton (5.5 miles)? At Norfolk Lavender (8 miles) take your pet along to sniff out over a hundred varieties of the little purple flower (dogs on leads are welcome in the main areas but not the shop or tearooms). Snettisham Beach (13 miles) is another wonderful spot for dog walks, though you’ll need to keep your pet on a lead during bird nesting season (summer).
