Property code: OC-91344

Take a peaceful and romantic holiday in Norfolk with your partner and dog. When it’s time to get away from busy schedules, reconnect and relax in this charmingly named cabin, suitable for two people and their dog. It’s ideally located so you can enjoy the quiet or visit nearby towns without travelling too far.

As you enter, you’ll find an open-plan living space, which combines a kitchen, lounge and dining area so you can spend time with your partner, cooking and dining. The bedroom is just next door, comfortable and cosy so you can enjoy some well-deserved lie-ins. Alternatively, prepare a warming cup of tea and head to the outdoor seating area to welcome the morning with the dog at your feet. It’s a nice little suntrap and the picturesque exterior of the cabin completes the beautiful setting – and the patio is enclosed by a picket fence so your dog can sniff around for hours.

You’ll be surrounded by countryside with lots of places to explore. You could visit the Norfolk Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 15.5 miles, which stretches along the coast and includes dog-friendly beaches and trips to see wild seals, or try the traditional seaside town of Hunstanton (24 miles) with dramatic cliffs and excellent fish and chips. Finish the holiday with a day in Norwich, 23 miles, where you can learn about the fascinating history of the area or enjoy a hearty pub lunch in one of the dog-friendly eateries.

We had a brilliant week here. Lovely guests, clean neat tidy and warm cottage where everything worked as it should, which is in our experience rare, with the welcome basket being a nice touch. Icing on the cake was the private dog meadow for guest's exclusive use. Out of the way location but within easy reach of most places including the coast. 10/Read more10 and will return. Nice to have Peacocks as neighbours too, along with an orchard full of apples and pears to pick. Hide

A gorgeous cottage in a stunning location. The owners Tony and Sarah are lovely and happy to help if you need them and gave lots of useful info on local shops, parking etc. Cottage was spotless and well equipped and we had a lovely welcome hamper. . The resident peacocks are quite tame and gave us hours of amusement. Our dogs Alfie & Daisy had a grRead moreeat time in the dog meadow. We wanted to go back for 2 weeks in Sept. Sadly its fully booked but we will certainly return. Hide

We had a very enjoyable holiday at the Norfolk Dumpling and the owners were very friendly. The cottage was well equipped for two with lots of land to explore. The peacocks were lovely to watch but they woke early and can be noisy. We would definitely recommend it.

The owners were absolutely lovely and so helpful and kind! Lovely peacocks (10) and pet sheep (4) and a Shetland pony. Warm and toasty. Good tv and comfy bed. Just be aware fridge and freezer is quite small eg if you are bringing food best to get 2 pint bottles of milk than 4 pint ones in view of size.Will definitely be coming back, loved it!

I really enjoyed my stay in Norfolk Dumpling. It's very comfortable and was beautifully dressed for Christmas . The owners were very welcoming and the farm is very dog friendly. The enclosed dog field is a real advantage. The resident peacocks and rescue sheep just add to the enjoyment.

Norfolk Dumpling is a great cottage in a wonderful location. The enclosed field is a superb facility and there are a number of dog friendly walks nearby. Tony and Sara could not have been more friendly and helpful from the moment they met us on arrival. We really hope to visit again in the future.

This small one bedroom cottage was perfect for me and my wife and two dogs. The owners provided us with a welcome pack. The dogs too had their own welcome pack which was lovely. Sara and Tom could not have been nicer or more helpful. Our dogs absolutely loved the field and garden and were allowed to treat it like their own home. There are peacocks Read morein the grounds which are wonderful and a privilege to see. They are almost tame. All in all we had a lovely week and we would love to return. Hide

We had such a lovely time and Tony and Sara could not be more helpful or accommodating. Hero, our German Shepherd was very happy with his own field to explore along with all the lovely country lanes. There were many places to visit within easy distance. We had a truly restful time.
