Take your faithful friend for dog walks through Roughton Common and afternoons on the beach when you stay at this North Norfolk retreat. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom getaway nestles within a complex of three-holiday homes which all enjoy shared use of the owner’s indoor hot tub and a games room. Surrounded by gorgeous countryside and 4 miles from the dog-friendly beach at East Runton, the property also comes with its own small, enclosed garden where your canine chum can enjoy the fresh air.
Wander into the charming space to find yourselves in an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a vaulted and beamed ceiling, and exposed brick and flint wall. The perfect place for some quality time with your canine, this is where you can watch TV while you give him a little puppy love, light the wood burner on chilly days and prepare hearty feasts with local produce for people and pets. The bedrooms at this rural retreat include a king-size and a twin, and there is also a family shower room. Your four-legged friend will be provided with a special dog blanket and a dog treat. Open the doors onto your private, lawned garden so your dog can pad outside while you prepare a meal to carry out into the sunshine. Light the BBQ out here too on fine evenings.
East Runton, with its sandy beach and rock pools, is a great place for a dog-friendly day out. Trimingham is 5 miles away and tricky to reach as it is accessed by a cliff path, but it’s also a beautiful spot and popular with dog walkers. Pick up the Norfolk Coast Path at either of these locations.
