Property code: OC-1264

Arrive at this exquisite Norfolk retreat with your four-legged friend and he will be in seventh doggy heaven. With a large, lawned garden to race about in and the pup-friendly beach at Old Hunstanton, just 2.5 miles away, your dog’s tail won’t stop wagging. Sleeping seven people, the spacious, four-bedroom cottage, which comes with an annexe, offers exceptional character and comfort and will be a sheer delight for human guests as well as hounds.

Let yourselves into the main cottage and take your canine friend straight into the utility room, where there is a WC, where there’s a washing machine perfect for sandy dog towels. Head into the lounge to light the wood burner and watch TV while your canine chum also enjoys a well-earned rest. When mealtimes beckon, head through to the kitchen/diner to whip up something tasty for everyone else. Dine in here too, perhaps listening to music, with your contented canine close by. Settle him for the night downstairs then head up to the first floor to find the family bathroom and bedrooms. These include a king-size with an en-suite bathroom, a twin and a single room. The annexe is a short distance from the house and has a downstairs shower room and twin bedroom, with sloping ceilings, upstairs. Spread out into the gorgeous garden at every opportunity. Have BBQs out here, enjoy a sundowner and play ball with your delighted dog.

Stretch the legs with a 7-mile circular walk from Old Hunstanton, taking in parts of the Norfolk Coast Path and following the River Hun for a spell. For an afternoon out, venture 10.5 miles to the Royal Sandringham Estate, where you are welcome to explore the parkland with your canine companion.

Only one minor point - the roof gutter was blocked just to one side of bedroom 2, such that during heavy rain rainwater overspills onto the outside sill making it sound as though water was running into the bedroom, however it wasn't but in the middle of the night it gives you a bit of a fright!

Elma Cottage is a super property. Its well equipped, spotlessly clean and very warm and cosy. Also, ample parking off road was much appreciated. We spent Christmas week here, and the large table in the spacious kitchen/dining area was ideal for our festive family meals.

Elma Cottage is in a lovely location, within walking distance of a lovely dog friendly beach. The house and secure garden are dog friendly. We had a lovely week at Elma cottage. This was our second stay and looking to book again soon.

Property was all as expected. It would have been better if we were advised that building works (starting at 7.30am with a cement mixer) were being carried out on the property next door before we arrived.

We have stayed in many cottages in Norfolk, Devon and Cornwall and Alma Cottage is probably the best of the lot. All aspect of the cottage were excellent with thoughtful extra touches such as a hook by the shower for your towel. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and had plenty of empty cupboards for our food,

We really enjoyed our stay at Elma Cottage as did our 3 Golden Retrievers. Fabulous location for the beach and within easy reach of town centre. Have already booked again. A small TV in the dining area would be a really good idea.
