Watch your pup’s ears prick up when you head out on walks along the Wensum Way from this inviting, single-storey cottage in Norfolk. Situated less than 2 miles from Lyng, it sleeps four guests and sits in shared lawned gardens that will also be a doggy delight. The two-bedroom, wheelchair-accessible abode is also well located for day trips to the North Norfolk coast.

Follow the slight slope down to this property with your chum and let him explore his new home from home. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a pet-lovers property for all seasons, with its wood burner for winter evenings and doors onto the garden for summer days. Prepare tasty meals with fresh Norfolk produce in the kitchen area, which also has a handy washer/dryer for dog towels. Serve your canine companion meals over in this area too, then dish up to your human guests at the table before settling down to take in the country views, read a book or watch TV while your contented canine dozes. The bedrooms at this cottage include a double and a twin. There is a wet room with a wheel-in shower. Take your ecstatic pup out to run around in the gardens on bright days, which are shared with an adjacent property. Light the BBQ out here later on and simply soak up the serenity.

Lace up your walking boots, grab some dog treats and head out along the Wensum Way, which can be picked up close to your cottage and runs for 12 miles alongside the scenic River Wensum. Take your pal to Foxley Wood to follow forest trails or for a day trip up to the wide, open beach at Wells-next-the-Sea with its huge dog-friendly sections.

A lovely cottage in the middle of nowhere - my ideal break away, great for walkers and those with dogs. So remote can be hard to find in the dark!

A nice cosy cottage. A welcome pack was provided and was a nice gesture. Everything we needed was available. Location was ideal as it was not far from Norwich, the coast at Cromer or Sheringham and other attractions. We enjoyed our stay and would visit again at some point.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Well equipped kitchen, and theres everything you need. Dog friendly, but remember its a working farm and theres livestock, so dogs need to be leashed at all times. There is a great dog park down the road for off leash fun https://bushytailsdogpark.co.uk/ 100% would book again.
