Bring together your favourite humans and hounds in this characterful cottage in the heart of the Norfolk countryside. You’ll find peaceful walks directly from your front door and, further afield, enjoy doggy days out to Thetford Forest and the Norfolk coast (both within 20 miles). After a day of exploring, share a BBQ on the patio as your furry companions play on the enclosed lawn.

The cosy cottage is full of character, with original beams and brickwork throughout the property and a beautiful collection of antique-style furniture. The cosy lounge is the perfect place to snuggle up after a long walk, with plump sofas, a Smart TV, and a roaring wood burner to warm your toes and paws. With hard floors and direct access to the garden, the spacious kitchen/diner is the ideal spot to set up the dog beds. Completing the ground floor is a handy shower room. Upstairs, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms as well as a gorgeous family bathroom. The remaining bedroom and a stylish shower room are on the second floor (please note, this floor has sloping ceilings). The outside area is a paradise for four-pawed guests, with a large, enclosed lawn to play on. There’s also a patio and garden furniture for the humans.

Dereham is 1.5 miles away, and hosts regular, open-air markets to potter around with your furry chums. The town also has a good range of independent shops and eateries. On a summer’s day, why not head to Thetford Forest for a shady stroll amongst the trees? The forest is a popular dog-walking spot, with many waymarked tracks and trails to sniff and explore. You’ll also be within touring distance of the North Norfolk coastline, where you’ll find some fabulous, woof-friendly beaches such as Sheringham (26 miles) and East Runton (28 miles).

The cottages were very well restored and furnished. The dog proofing and walks for dogs was excellent. The owner was incredibly helpful and the location lovely. One or two of the doors are quite low, the 2 tallest men bashed their heads a couple of times.
