Let two very happy hounds explore the pretty gardens at this single-storey holiday home near Banningham in North Norfolk. Set within the grounds of the owner’s home, yet enjoying its privacy, the two-bedroom property also sleeps four human guests. Venture out on walks through your immediate countryside surroundings or head to the coast at Mundesley, 9 miles away, where there are stretches of the sand that your happy hounds can bound across at any time of year. You can also set tails wagging with walks in the Norfolk Broads, and parks and gardens.

Enter the modern cottage via the hall and call your delighted duo through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Make yourself a cup of tea, feed your hungry hounds then prepare a tasty meal with the fresh produce that you have bought for the rest of your party. You can dine in here, and there is a washing machine that may prove useful after your long walks. Open the doors so you and your four-legged friends can wander out into the evening warmth during the summer or relax inside on the comfortable seating with your chums at your feet as you watch the Smart TV. Make your way through to either the king-size bedroom, with an en-suite shower room and a Smart TV, or the double bedroom. There is also a family shower room and a separate WC. Dine out in the garden on fine days, taking in the views while your furry friends frolic. You’ll have access to space for storing bicycles, and there is parking for two cars.

Venture just 3 miles to the National Trust’s famous Jacobean mansion Blickling Hall, where your delighted dogs can wander the 4,600 acres of parkland with you. Felbrigg Hall, 8 miles away, is also set in beautiful grounds that your faithful friends will enjoy.

A lovely comfortable cottage with an outlook over a field. Everything you could possibly want for your stay was supplied. Ideal for travel around Norfolk and really convenient for National Trust properties.

This beautiful cottage was a credit to the owners, in all aspects, situated in the Norfolk countryside, with off road walking from the garden, which was fenced and perfect for dogs. It was relaxing just sitting in the garden with nature

Amazing cottage in a beautiful setting. Comfortable and cosy with everything we needed. The dogs loved the secure garden and we loved the walk through the gate at the bottom of the garden to the footpath, which took us to the pub! Weather was perfect too :)

We had a wonderful stay at Pond Lodge over Easter. The property was perfect, very clean with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was in a prime location in the Norfolk countryside not too far from local villages and within a 20 minute drive to the Norfolk coast. Our dog absolutely loved the countryside walks, accessible through the gateRead more in the garden onto the public footpath. Also the secure garden was an added bonus. Sarah-Jane and Bob were very welcoming and helpful and we hope to visit again in the future! Hide

lovely place to stay with a properly enclosed garden and a walk straight over the fields at the back which our dog loved. This is a good location to travel out and about from around the area and to the coast. The cottage is well equipped, comfortable and very clean. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Pond cottage was lovely, nicely furnished and everything you could need was available including the welcome pack which was appreciated. The garden was really secure for our dog and private for sitting out in and the path to the local pub out the back of the cottage meant we didnt have to walk on the road. It was only 20 mins to the beach and a supeRead morermarket was a couple of miles.I would recommend this cottage we had a lovely time Hide
