Property code: OC-KT125

A gorgeous period property converted with country, cosy style. Relax and socialize in these big, open rooms, amid more exposed beams than your dog can shake a stick at. And, with grounds to run around in and the myriad beaches of the Norfolk Coast just 12 miles away, this trip will be one that your pups will be dreaming about for years.

Step into this attractive stone barn and you’ll find an idyllic holiday cottage. The heart of the home is a cheery and bright open-plan space, where you can cook, eat, and relax. The seating is set cosily around the TV, with elegant antique and wood details all around. The kitchen is a pretty country area, right beside the dining table, with plenty of space to seat your whole group for those pre-beach breakfasts or winding-down dinners. The living space also opens onto the patio where you can eat alfresco, while your crazy canines let off steam. When sleep beckons, the property’s pretty bedrooms offer tranquillity. The master is a gorgeous double bedroom in the eaves of the building on the mezzanine, and there’s also a ground-floor twin, great for dashing out quickly in the morning and getting first dibs on the snooker table in the communal games room.

If you can drag yourselves away from your new home, the seaside sights and smells of North Norfolk surround you. Take a scenic drive 12 miles north to the coast, where you’ll find the quaint village of Burnham Overy Staithe and, from here, you and those eager pups can join the Norfolk Coast Path, which winds around the creeping, sweeping shoreline of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

We had a fantastic time at The Old Forge. The cottage itself is lovely and cosy. The games room and library are a huge plus and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The cottage is well equipped and located in a great spot for easy access to all of North Norfolk. Special thanks to the amazing Mandie who helped us navigate a delay in our arrival thanks to unexpRead moreected health issues. I would definitely recommend the cottage and look forward to going back there. Hide

We stayed in The forge of these beautiful cottages. The area is so lovely and peaceful. The owners thought of everything that was needed for self catering. If you want to go for a meal, we recommend The Crown Inn. There is a store , not far from the cottage. We were welcomed to some lovely cakes, also some tea bags, coffee, sugar and even a pint ofRead more milk in the fridge. Which was very nice after travelling. There is a jet in the field, which was amazing to see close. Loved it all. Thanks Hide

Lovely cottage in a country setting. This cottage is ideally placed for easy access to all of the coast line from King's Lynn to Cromer. My Granddaughter and I had an exceptionally pleasant first visit to Norfolk and will definitely be back. Thankyou Anne, Evie and Kip
