This cosy countryside cottage is just the ticket for friends or family and their canine companions. Tucked away in a peaceful location a mile from the charming village of Kettlestone, it’s an ideal base for discovering the best of North Norfolk and comes complete with a roaring wood burner and a safely enclosed private garden for hounds to explore.

Inside, the kitchen/diner is light and airy, with everything you need to share hearty breakfasts or relaxed evening meals around the lovely central table. The lounge is a warm, welcoming retreat with soft sofas, a glowing wood burner and a Smart TV for evenings in. It’s the perfect spot to stretch out after a long walk while Rover basks in the warmth. From here, a few steps lead up to a cheerful twin bedroom, and there's a family bathroom for post-adventure soaks. The king-size bedroom with an elegant en-suite bathroom provides a touch of luxury when it's time to turn in. Outside, the enclosed garden is a dream for pets. Let them sniff and roam on the spacious lawn while you enjoy an al fresco meal on the patio or simply soak up the peaceful surroundings. Private parking for two cars makes coming and going a breeze.

The bustling town of Fakenham (4 miles) is your go-to for local pubs, shops and places to grab a bite after a day’s exploring. The Norfolk Coast National Landscape is just to the north, with sandy stretches and salt marshes at Cromer, Blakeney, and Holme-next-the-Sea – all within 20 miles for a run along the shore with your four-pawed pal. For an aquatic adventure, head 28 miles to Wroxham and hire a boat to meander the beautiful waterways of the Norfolk Broads National Park.

Very nicely situated for a peaceful recharge. Great size garden for dogs to run off some energy. Found the cottage comfy. Well stocked kitchen to cook a holiday breakfast or as we did a meal to snuggle up after a long walk. So many lovely places to visit nearby made it a great base to explore from.

The cottage was beautiful, very well maintained and well equipped. We were between 10-20 minutes to all the beaches and a short drive into the town of Fakenham. The cottage is remote and nothing really in the village of Kettlestone, but that is how we wanted it. We have no complaints at all and also a safe perfect garden for our doggy friends. WoulRead mored highly recommend to anybody looking for a quiet getaway and all the beaches just a minimal drive away Hide
