This luxurious Norfolk retreat is perfect for couples, families, and their four-legged friends and comes complete with a roaring open fire that Rover is sure to adore as well as a fully enclosed private garden and even your very own hot tub! Set in the tranquil village of Norton Subcourse, the house is ideally positioned for exploring nearby trails with your canine companion and enjoying the Norfolk countryside.

Inside, the ground floor combines a lounge/kitchen/diner, creating a sociable living space for all. Relax in the lounge on chilly nights, where an open fire and Smart TV invite everyone to put their feet up and warm chilly paws. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking family meals, while the attractive family bathroom is also on this floor. The cottage-style stairs lead to two charming bedrooms – a calming king-size room with soft, luxurious furnishings and a bunk-bed room perfect for children. French doors open onto a patio with comfortable rattan seating, ideal for morning coffee while your pup explores the secure space. A BBQ makes al fresco dining easy, and the large lawn area is perfect for a game of fetch or a lazy sunbathe. The four-person hot tub is ready and waiting for a relaxing soak after a day of exploration. Private parking for one car is available.

Just 1 mile away, Thurlton has a dog-friendly pub and a shop for essentials, while Loddon (4 miles) offers boat trips on the Broads, where well-behaved hounds are welcome on board. For a day out at the coast, Great Yarmouth’s beaches and amusements (12 miles) provide a classic seaside experience, and the sandy shores of Lowestoft are only 15 miles away, both of which have designated year-round zones for playful pups to roam. With its historic Norman castle and pet-friendly cafes and pubs, Norwich is also within easy reach, 15 miles from home.

This is a gorgeous cottage. Beautifully decorated with many very thoughtful touches including a nice welcome pack, home baked brownies and treats for the dog. Very well equipped kitchen and lovely garden. It is very quiet and rural, next to an old church. A beautiful setting and well located to visit both Suffolk and Norfolk.

Had been really looking forward to this cottage, and can honestly say it exceeded all our expectations. It was cosy, comfortable, homely, furnished beautifully, and had everything you could possibly need. On top of that really friendly owners. Would definitely recommend.

This is by far our most favourite New Year break yet. We always go away for new year to a log cabin normally and this was the first time booking a cottage. Its absolutely stunning.

Everything you could need to cook with was in the kitchen and we even cancelled our new years eve restaurant booking as we didn't want to leave the cottage.
