Located in a secluded corner of the Norfolk countryside, this bright and welcoming retreat is the ideal getaway for families, friends and their canine companions. Sleeping four and set within a small cluster of cottages with access to a shared swimming pool, it’s perfectly positioned for adventures by paw, pedal, or paddle amongst the Norfolk Broads.

Inside, the heart of the home is the traditional farmhouse-style kitchen – well equipped with plenty of room for storing treats (for both humans and hounds). The kitchen leads into the colourful lounge/diner, where cosy seating, a wood burner and a Smart TV invite you to unwind while Rovers basks in the warmth of the fire. There's a large dining table for hearty breakfasts or sociable dinners after a trip to the coast. Upstairs, you’ll find two lovely bedrooms beneath wooden beams – a king-size and a twin – alongside a light and airy bathroom. Patio doors open onto a fully enclosed walled garden, giving your four-pawed pal the freedom to roam safely while you relax with a drink on the terrace or dip in the wood-fired hot tub. There’s outdoor seating for al fresco meals, sun-soaked afternoons, and lazy mornings listening to birdsong. The property also includes access to a shared swimming pool (bookable for private sessions) for an extra holiday treat. Parking for one car is provided.

Sniff out the charm of nearby villages such as Smallburgh (1.5 miles) and Tunstead (2 miles) or let your tail-wagger lead the way on riverside trails and Broadland meanders. The famous Broads National Park surrounds you, offering a wealth of wildlife, scenic walks and boating opportunities. Fancy a day beside the sea? Happisburgh, Sea Palling, and Mundesley beaches have sections where your pup can run free and are all within 12 miles of home.

The cottage was really well appointed and exactly as described. I don't think we could have been more comfortable. The location is great for long dog walks from the cottage and also easy for access to beaches and local villages. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay with my aged (but still energetic) dog.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay here in this beautiful cottage. As soon as you walk into this cottage, you feel like its giving you a big hug - it was warm and cosy on an chilly autumn evening when we arrived in the dark and we had a fire and a lovely take away sorted, before sinking into the most comfortable beds. Equally with the patio doors and Read morewell sized garden it would be great to visit in the summer. The interior design in this place is stunning - just so tastefully decorated with beautiful things. We had fun exploring lovely places nearby and took a trip to Holkham and possibly the best pub in the UK - the Gunton Arms. We left after 5 nights feeling so relaxed - weve had an awful year with my husband being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in May and this break was just what we needed- thank you - we will definitely return.

What a pretty and cosy cottage The Ostlery is. The beds were extremely comfortable and the cottage was well equipped with lots of extra touches such as the garden games and local produce welcome pack. The garden was a lovely place to dine and relax. We had a great stay and found the cottage an ideal location to explore all the Broads have to offerRead more. Hide

Very comfortable pretty little cottage. Close to beaches and the broads. Garden good for dogs and children as completely enclosed. Swimming pool on site a bonus. Would recommend.

The Ostlery is charming. Very comfortable, spotlessly clean, lovely white linen and towels. The cottage is very well equipped with many facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there.
