Property code: OC-91480

Have a treat in Norfolk with this gorgeous and unconventional property. Perfect for a mixed group and their four dogs, you’ll have plenty to do and explore in the cottage, but if you want to head out, a canine-compliant sandy beach is only 100 metres away.

As you enter, you’ll find a spacious kitchen/diner. Next door is the lounge, comfortable and cosy with a wood burner and a TV for movie nights. The four bedrooms are upstairs, two doubles, a twin, and a king-size zip-and-link. Back downstairs there is a children's play room to keep your little one's entertained with access to the garden. Outside, you’ll discover a large garden, enclosed with a fence, where kids and dogs can roam and explore while adults stretch on the patio furniture.

Sea Palling is a charming town with lots on offer. The sandy beach welcomes dogs (with some restrictions) and it’s only 100 metres from your front door. Enjoy an ice cream here or wander over to one of the dog-friendly cafes and pubs, many of which overlook the sea. Take a walk to the Happisburgh Lighthouse, 5.5 miles away, which offers slices of cake and nuggets of history: it’s the oldest working lighthouse in England. If you fancy a day out, try Norwich (19.5 miles) for shops, markets and a cathedral.

  • 4 bedrooms – 2 doubles, 1 twin and 1 king-size zip-and-link (which can be made into a twin on request)
  • 2 bathrooms – 1 family bathroom with shower over bath and WC, and 1 Jack-and-Jill shower room with WC

Great location as a base for travelling around. The house is in need of repair and updating, including the bed linen, sofas and the bar area is not an area that can be used really . The house was big enough for the eight of us and our three dogs and you can park one car on the drive and more on the grass opposite park. There is a shop , very small Read morearcade and a pub which opens at 3pm but does not serve any food so you either need to cook every night or drive out for food which was fine. Hide
