A charming brick-and-flint cottage with a fresh, contemporary feel, this welcoming getaway is brilliantly suited to families or friends travelling with their four-legged companion. Sleeping six guests across three bedrooms, it sits in the peaceful village of Northrepps, 2 miles from the sandy shoreline at Overstrand and 3 miles from the lively Victorian seaside town of Cromer. Both spots link up with the scenic Norfolk Coast Path, making them great starting points for stretching the legs along clifftops and beaches.
Inside, the cottage blends traditional character with a bright, modern finish. The entrance hall leads through to a light-filled kitchen/diner, a sociable hub for preparing meals with local produce. On warmer days, open the garden door and let your furry friend pad in and out while you dine together at the table. The lounge is another inviting spot to gather, with comfortable seating for evenings spent chatting, sharing a drink, or settling in with a film on the Smart TV. Upstairs, you'll find three thoughtfully styled bedrooms: two king-size rooms, each with its own Smart TV for slow starts to the day, plus a delightful twin room suited to younger guests. The family bathroom includes both a bath and a shower, while a separate WC downstairs adds extra convenience. Outside, the enclosed garden is a real bonus for those bringing a pup, offering a secure spot for a sniff about or a play on the lawn. There’s also a patio area for al fresco drinks. Private off-road parking for two cars completes the picture.
Cromer is well worth a wander with your canine sidekick, whether you’re tucking into fish and chips or sampling the town’s famous crab. A little further along the coast, Sheringham (8 miles) has more beachy charm, independent shops to browse, and a heritage steam railway to the elegant market town of Holt. For walkies with a view, head to Sheringham Park (7.5 miles), where seasonal colours and open landscapes make it a favourite for those with a tail-wagging explorer in tow. History hounds will appreciate the parkland of the grand estate at Blickling Hall, 10 miles away.
