Get close to nature with your four-legged friend when you book this enticing shepherd’s hut in Norfolk. Sleeping just two human guests, the one-bedroom getaway, which has a private hot tub, makes an idyllic romantic retreat for couples wishing to bring a pet. Situated at Foulsham, 5.5 miles from Reepham, it is set on a working farm and well placed for country walks.
Climb four wooden steps up to the retreat with your delighted dog at your heel. Enter to find gleaming, light-filled accommodation, where you can unwind in style. Keep the top half of the stable door open as your pal flops down in the streaming sunlight and you stretch out on the double bed or recline on the seat. A single futon for a child can also be added by special request. Also on the site is another shepherd’s hut. The two retreats share a lovely cabin, with an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, making this a superb option for two couples wishing to holiday together. Here you can prepare delicious meals with Norfolk produce, dine at the table and enjoy cups of tea from the comfort of the sofa. Within the cabin, you have your own private shower room and WC. There is also a shared picnic table for those wishing to dine under the great Norfolk skies. Choose whether to cook on the BBQ, keep your canine company beside the firepit or bubble in your private hot tub and gaze up at the stars. You have private, off-road parking for two cars.
Follow the 7.5-mile, out-and-back North Elmham to Guist trail through scenic countryside. This begins 2 miles away. Take your pup to the National Trust’s Blickling Hall, where there are acres of gorgeous parkland to wander together. Salthouse Beach, 14 miles away, is dog friendly all year round.
