Property code: OC-D30375

For happy hounds (and even happier humans), book a holiday in this exceptional, pet-friendly cottage on Norfolk’s coastline. The property is less than a mile’s walk from the wide, sandy shores of Heacham South Beach – a summer-ready destination that welcomes dogs all year round. Care has been taken to ensure the house is perfect for beach holidays with pets. There’ll be no sandy paw prints tracked through the house when utilising the handy downstairs utility room with its separate entrance. All in all, this happy house sleeps a total of seven guests and two four-pawed pals, a perfect place for your pack to call their own.

Go barking mad for the bright pops of colour and homely accents dotted throughout this house’s two storeys. Your canine companions will love meandering through the lounge and into the kitchen/diner/conservatory, seeking out a cosy spot to curl up in whilst their masters relax and unwind. One of the bedrooms, a king-size, is right here on the ground floor, with French door access to the garden and en-suite wet room facilities. Upstairs, the remaining three bedrooms sit alongside a family bathroom. Outside, a large, fully enclosed garden offers more than enough room for pets and kids to play when the sun shines.

Miles upon miles of sandy shoreline await for canine-compatible days out, with the beach under 1 mile away and the popular seaside resort of Hunstanton just 3 miles away. Be sure to pay attention to the season, as pups should stay on the lead when the resident seabirds are nesting. To see those seabirds close at hand, visit the RSPB nature reserve at Snettisham (4.5 miles). Plan your day with a sunset walk on the agenda, moving towards Heacham Beach later in the day to see the sun go down.

Beautiful house in a great location, just a few minutes walk to the beach (where we saw some stunning sunsets). The house is spacious, comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Communications with Tina were perfect, she was really responsive and very helpful.

Although the house is not at the seaside it is extremely comfortable, clean and spacious, and warm when necessary. There is every attention to detail and we need not have taken our own towels, coffee, tea, sugar etc. etc. because everything was provided. So welcoming to walk into.

Comfy house with ample accommodation for 6 of us. Especially liked the open plan kitchen diner seating area which got the afternoon sun. Short walk from the property to South Beach, Heacham itself interesting and good road links to all the places we wanted to visit. We really enjoyed our stay in quiet and relaxing surroundings.

We had a lovely stay at Duck's Nest, 4 adults and 3 children as part of a family party. Great location for the local beaches, and there is also a park a 5-10min walk away. Generally well equipped house, and we found plenty to do in the area. Heacham is a lovely village, with good amenities.
