Perfectly blending creature comforts with charming character, this period cottage nestled in a quiet spot in Cley-next-the-Sea is the perfect base for getting your paws sandy along the glorious Norfolk coastline.

Beneath the traditional brick exterior, you’ll find a haven of cosy charm in the snug, which features a roaring wood burner housed inside a magnificent, exposed brickwork fireplace; your pup can doze beside the hearth as you unwind at the end of a busy day. The lounge also provides a delightfully homely spot to relax and plan tomorrow’s walkies. Lead the way into the light and bright contemporary kitchen/diner, which features a high ceiling and exposed beams, to rustle up some delicious treats. There’s a small double bedroom (with a 4’ bed) on the ground floor, whilst you’ll find a king-size and twin bedroom tucked under the eaves on the first floor. Little paws will have a ball letting off some steam on the lawn in the enclosed garden as you enjoy a spot of al fresco dining on the patio. There is free parking 100 metres away at the village hall.

Famous for its salt marshes and nature reserve, Cley-next-the-Sea is a haven for keen outdoor explorers, home to a charming landmark windmill and plenty of local pubs, delis and bookshops to explore with your canine companion in tow. Take the lead to Blakeney (1.5 miles) to jump aboard a boat trip to Blakeney Point to nuzzle noses with the resident seal colonies or find plenty of stick throwing opportunities along the wonderful walks through pine forests and across the white sandy beach decorated with colourful beach huts at Wells-next-the-Sea (9.5 miles). The stunning Georgian market town of Holt, with its antique shops, boutiques and art galleries, can be reached within 4.5 miles.

Lovely cottage, in excellent order throughout. Imaginative decor and consideration given to comfort in every room, a pleasure to go home to at the end of each busy day. Enjoyed the countryside and beaches in spite of a chill wind and lots to see and do in the area. Many very good eateries within walking distance of the cottage. Pebble approach Read moremight be a problem for someone with mobility problems, but other than that, this was the perfect holiday stay. Hide

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location. Everything you could need for a holiday. Even down to a wheelbarrow to help you bring bags from your car. Very comfortable, peaceful retreat to get away from it all.

The Cottage was absolutely beautiful. Clean and immaculately decorated and styled throughout. Plenty of storage options and everything you could possibly need to hand. The two living rooms were really useful when staying with other family members or children. The garden was spacious and contained for dogs and children with beautifully kept flowers Read moreand plenty of seating. The whole place felt homely and cosy and was a delight to stay in, with a few lovely pubs in walking distance and a great spot to be based for enjoying the Norfolk Coast and surrounding areas. The only challenge was the walk from the village hall car park to the cottage. Although not particularly far (a few mintues), it was a deep gravel path on a slight hill so was a challenge for elderly and children and pushing the pram on especially in the rain when you wanted to get to the cottage quickly from the car). Overall, a lovely little spot that I would absolutely recommend and come to again! Hide

This has to be the most immaculately presented holiday home we have ever stayed in. Gorgeous bedding, comfy carpets, well stocked kitchen, games cupboard, excellent garden with sunshine, lots of character and charm. Honestly we felt like we were at home. It was just exceptional. We loved walking up the gravel path and along the road to the lovely pRead moreub and went on some nice runs from the cottage to the sea. Easy to drive from Cley to towns. Holt was beautiful and I enjoyed shopping there in the lovely independent shops. I cannot recommend this cottage enough...it just has everything you need, great location, well thought out, beautiful touches and comfortable. Easy to check in with key safe. Hide

This cottage is really spacious and luxurious. We absolutely loved it and didnt want to leave. The garden is beautiful with enough space for kids to run around, plus the playground is so close you can pop whenever you like. The snug space was a winner and we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again!
