Make a rural retreat to this three-bedroom thatched barn at Sloley in Norfolk and watch two of your favourite furry friends play in the large, enclosed garden. Up to six guests and two hounds are welcome to stay at the gorgeous, red-brick property, 7.5 miles from Aylsham and 5 miles from Wroxham. Enjoy it as a base from which to head out on exhilarating country and coastal walks and to immerse yourselves in the beauty of the Norfolk Broads.
Open the door to the former barn and stroll into the open-plan kitchen/dining/lounge with your excited hounds at your heel. You’ll find there is space for everyone to spread out as you feed your four-legged chums and prepare something tasty for everyone else too. In addition to all the other appliances in here, there is a handy washing machine. After dinner, call your faithful friends through to the lounge and watch them dream about their adventures as you find something for everyone else to enjoy on the Smart TV. There’s a king-size bedroom downstairs when it’s time to settle down for the night. Alternatively, climb the stairs to a twin next to the family shower room or find a super-king-size room that has private stairs and its own downstairs bathroom. Soak up the sunshine out in the garden in the morning as the pups frolic nearby, and dine out here too. You’ll also have parking for three cars.
Call your happy hounds and take them out with you on walks through the estate on which the property is situated. Drive 10.5 miles to the beach at Waxham, where they can run free on the sand and dip their paws in the salty water. Or, attempt the 10-mile Bittern Line Walk, from Wroxham to North Walsham, which goes through countryside and woodland – energetic pups will adore it.
