This charming cottage, situated just 26 miles from Norwich, is ideal for you and your family – not forgetting the pups, of course! Sleeping four across two cosy bedrooms and with plenty of room for up to two dogs, it won’t be long before you’re up and about enjoying the beautiful North Norfolk Coast or strolling around some of the beautiful countryside on your doorstep. Salthouse’s pretty shingle beach is just half a mile away, while Holt Country Park (4.5 miles) will be a hit with kids and your canine companions thanks to 100 acres of woodland housing nature trails and a playground.

The property, which is less than half a mile’s walk to the village centre, is spacious and welcoming. The kitchen diner is bright and airy with a country-style feel, and you’ll find everything you need to cook up a storm. After a day blowing away the cobwebs at the beach, sink into the sofas in front of the wood burner in the lounge among exposed wood beams and pretty nautical touches. The bedrooms will also remind you of the sea in their furnishings; wake up refreshed and head down to the garden with your morning coffee as the hounds stretch their legs.

You’re in a perfect spot here for exploring the city, coast and country. Visit Norwich for both high street and independent shopping, before stopping for a bite to eat at one of the many trendy pubs or restaurants that will welcome dogs with open paws. Along the coast, both Sheringham (6 miles) and Cromer (12 miles) have parts of the beach where pups are welcome all year, and National Trust properties like Felbrigg Hall (10.5 miles) and the Blickling Estate (14 miles) are wonderful places to take kids and dogs to on a sunny afternoon.

The cottage is in poor and unmaintained condition and is not clean. Furniture grubby. Dust and cobwebs everywhere. We stayed in Cherub Cottage in 2007. It is a beautiful location, but very disappointing now.

This is an idyllic spot to stay by the sea which is why we have now been four consecutive years. Lovely secluded garden. Coast Hopper now stops on the village green making it even easier to get about.

We have stayed many times in this cottage. We come back for the peace and beauty of the location. This is a character cottage, which is snug, but comfortable. It has a pretty enclosed garden and a great pub next door. There are many gorgeous walks straight from the doorstep. A really lovely place to stay .

We love this cottage and its beautiful location, have been coming for many years. There are a few issues which are now badly in need of updating which would so easily improve an already lovely place. There was no wifi all week although this has always worked well before. We hope to continue visiting this very special cottage where we've visited manRead morey times over the last 10 years. It's beautifully warm, has fantastic views, a gorgeous garden front and back, dog friendly, a very happy place. Hide

Cherub Cottage is in a fantastic location overlooking the green and marshes in Salthouse. There is a pub to one side (but it's quiet) and a deli and crab shop on the green - all excellent!

We had a lovely stay at Cherub Cottage. It felt like home from home and we felt comfortable as soon as we arrived. The cottage is clean and spacious, the garden is enclosed and pretty. The double bed was comfortable and the shower was powerful. The cottage is in a great location for walks and day trips and the pub next door was lovely, as was lunchRead more from the Crab Shop and coffee from the store. Enjoyed the short walk to the pebble beach to watch the sunset. Parking was fine. Highly recommend. Hide
