Property code: OC-1626

Escape with your loved ones to this lovely semi-detached brick and flint cottage sitting in a quaint complex of properties between the peaceful village of Roughton and the fun beach town of Cromer. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, this lovely single-storey cottage is ideal for small families or groups of friends who want to explore the beautiful Norfolk coast together. Take a leisurely walk through the beautiful gardens at Felbrigg Hall during the day; and in the evening come home to the cottage’s pretty private garden, pour yourself a drink and soak up a little serenity.

Step inside and you''ll be greeted by a lovely open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Take a moment to make yourself at home in the stylish lounge area before heading to the complex’s shared heated indoor pool for a dip. In the evening, rustle up some dinner in the cottage’s country-style kitchen area and host a sociable meal at the dining table. If you prefer to dine alfresco, head out to the patio and eat while your pups run around the enclosed garden. After dinner, head back to the lounge area to stretch out in front of the TV. At the end of the day, there are two lovely bedrooms waiting for you – a double and a twin. Both offer magnificent country views.

Let your pups run free at East Runton (3 miles), a long, sandy beach backed by sloping sandstone. This lovely beach is home to the largest chalk reef in Europe, so it’s a big hit with fossil hunters. Alternatively, head into Cromer and take a refreshing stroll along its Grade II-listed pier (2 miles). There’s even a dog-friendly bar on the pier that offers doggy ice cream in the summertime.

However at quiet times it is possible that you will be able to make other bookings on the day if slots are available. The booking form is inside the pool door to the right. Please note that guests should never swim alone.

The property was in need of up-dating. The photos were deceiving. Cleanliness was poor. Garden was neat and enclosed. Fields nearby but not easy to walk smaller dog as the grass was too high.

Can really recommend this place for both dog owners and non dog owners. It was quiet, clean, spacious and comfortable. But one of the outstanding features was the pool. OMG it was soooo good.

Great location and pool. Cottage would benefit from some upkeep/maintenance as tired in places in order to promote value for money compared to other options in the area.

A nice cottage in a lovely location. However, the system for booking the (excellent) swimming pool is very frustrating and unfair - we either had to miss out or come back during the middle of the day. Advertised as a pool with capacity for 24 people, the daily one-slot per cottage system meant there were often only 3 people in at a time, whilst oRead morethers missed out. Early morning/evening slots were taken immediately and there was no system of ensuring each cottage had the opportunity to book these. Hide

The property was fantastic, lovely size and layout and the kitchen was so well equipped with all the essentials plus some wonderful extras like a local cake and fresh milk in the fridge. Location-wise this was perfect for us, nice and quiet but an easy 5 min drive to the sea front in Cromer.

Accommodation met our needs, we were a party of 3 adults, 1child & a dog. Location is perfect to access all the tourist attractions and beautiful beaches - only a 5 minute drive to get to Cromer Seafront. Swimming pool was excellent, a wonderful opportunity to have a large pool to yourselves and no issues with booking time slots.

Well kept property, one half of a small barn conversion. Opened close to a country road so maybe not suitable for unsupervised children. But has a practical enclosed back garden half laid to lawn, very useful. Shared use of a heated pool with a rota sheet for private time slots which was a good idea. Pool has no shallow end if you need one! Had a lRead moreovely cake & biscuits for our arrival and some fresh milk in the fridge. There was also teabags & instant coffee provided but we had brought our own. TV & games too. Other similar properties in the enclosure but very quiet not busy. Easy efficient check in and departure & excellent directions supplied. Hide
