This attractive period property is on the outskirts of the historic market town of Aylsham. The cottage sleeps four guests and two furry friends, and is perfectly placed for exploring both the Broads and the stunning Norfolk coastline. The property is located next to the River Bure, so you can enjoy dog walks along the pretty riverbank or perhaps bring your paddleboards to get out on the water.
The traditional flint cottage has a beautiful blend of period features and contemporary elements, creating a characterful yet comfortable backdrop for your holiday. After a day of exploring, unwind in the inviting lounge, where you’ll find a collection of soft seating arranged around a Smart TV. On chilly nights, fire up the wood burner to create a cosy dozing spot for your four-pawed pals. From here, move through to the bright and inviting kitchen/diner, with its magnificent roof lantern and charming country-cottage decor. You’ll find everything you need to whip up tasty feasts for the group, which you can share at the dining table or around the breakfast bar. With patio doors opening onto the garden, the kitchen/diner is a good place for four-legged guests to set up camp. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility room and a contemporary shower room. Upstairs, you’ll find the two bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – both decorated in calming tones and with ample storage for all your holiday attire. Outside, the enclosed patio is reached via a small step down and has furniture and a BBQ for enjoying al fresco dining in summer months. The cottage has private parking for two cars.
Journey into Aylsham (1 mile) to explore the town’s fine array of independent shops. The town hosts regular markets, and is a great place to pick up local produce and handmade gifts. After a spot of retail therapy, grab a bite to eat in one of the dog-welcoming pubs or tearooms. Days out from the cottage include the picturesque Broads village of Wroxham and the Victorian seaside village of Mundesley (both 12 miles). There are some excellent paw-friendly attractions nearby, including the National Trust’s Blickling Estate (2 miles) and the North Norfolk Railway (12 miles).
