Picture your ideal staycation at the heart of the Norfolk countryside, treating the pack to breathtaking walks along the stunning coastline and cosy evenings curled in front of a roaring fire. Sleeping six humans and an accompanying hound, this charming cottage is guaranteed to set tails wagging with its home comforts and handy village location.

Spacious, inviting and beautifully presented with fresh decor and bold splashes of colour, the property is a delightful mix of traditional and contemporary. Return red-cheeked and muddy from your adventures, hosing down messy paws in the utility area or downstairs shower room before letting Fido scamper into the lounge to relax by the open fire. Rustle up fantastic feasts in the impressive kitchen, gathering together to dine in style in the dining room. Upstairs, the three elegant bedrooms are a treat for weary guests, and a gorgeous family bathroom and separate shower room are perfect for refreshing tired bones. Outside, the enclosed garden is a suntrap for enjoying al fresco meals and balmy summer drinks on the patio. There is off-road parking for two cars, and ample lawn space for Rover to stretch his legs – just take care of curious pooches by the unfenced pond.

Sniff out exciting walks from your doorstep, scampering across Syderstone Common in search of the elusive natterjack toad, or venture 8.5 miles by car to pad through the spectacular grounds of the Holkham Estate, taking in the marvellous pinewoods and the famously pretty Holkham Bay. Four-legged friends are welcome here without restrictions, and also at Hunstanton, 14 miles away, where you can watch the sunset over a leisurely fish and chip supper. The resort town is packed with exciting attractions such as a sea life centre, funfair, and crazy golf, as well as lots of independent shops and eateries.

The Old School House sits in a small village occupied by friendly people with excellent nearby walks for families and dog owners. A short drive to the wonderful Holkham. Large supermarkets a short drive. Relaxed and comfortable home with very cosy and comfy beds. The local contact was extremally friendly and helpful. Will defiantly go back.

The layout of bathrooms is a bit quirky with the shower room accessible from a mezzanine level halfway down the stairs, plus another one on the ground floor and one over the bath on the first floor. A basket of goodies on arrival and some kitchen condiments etc to get you started.
