With a warming wood burner in the cosy lounge and a large, shared garden for ball games, there’s plenty to please four-legged friends at this warm and welcoming home.

With unrestricted on-street parking and private parking for one car (arranged in advance), your stay is as hassle-free as it is enjoyable.

Just behind the property, a children’s playground offers fun for little ones, while the surrounding creeks and salt marshes are a haven for dog walks and wildlife spotting. From the quay, try paddleboarding, kayaking, or sailing, and bring your furry friend along on a salty adventure. For a unique excursion, hop on a ferry to Scolt Head Island, a stunning nature reserve where dogs on leads are welcome to enjoy the natural beauty alongside you. 1.5 miles away, Burnham Market invites you to browse boutique shops and enjoy pet-positive cafes.

This is a really lovely little cottage, the location is absolutely perfect for visiting the near by towns/villages. The local pub is very nice, the walk to the front harbour is very short and a lovely sunset. There is also a play area across the road which was handy for us The cottage is small but cosy and has a lovely outdoor space The kitchen Read morewas equipped with everything you would need and more The beds were clean and comfy Our only niggle was the bathroom was slightly tired and old windows meant a few creepy crawlies Overall would 100% recommend Hide

We stayed in the cottage over Christmas. As returning guests we knew we were in for a treat. The cottage is an absolute gem and the location couldn't be better. Full of character with a cosy wood burner and generous supply of logs. Our two boys love it as much as we do. It is a real bonus to have a dining room in a cottage of this size, meaning morRead moree space for enjoying a quiet drink whilst the children played lego. Everything you could want for a week away. The owner was extremely helpful. We would love to return! Hide

The location of this property is excellent for exploring this part of the North Norfolk Coast, its just a very short walk from the harbour (watched some lovely sunrises during our stay) and local pub The Hero is well recommended. There appears to be a regular bus service if you holiday without your car. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge cRead moreomfortable and I should imagine very cosy once the log fire is going in the colder weather. Hide
