A lovely period cottage in the pretty village of Thornham with a dog-friendly beach within a mile is a great holiday location for humans and tail-waggers alike. The spacious 300-year-old property, sleeping six guests and two pets, is ideal for families or a group of friends wishing to explore the unspoiled North Norfolk coast, famed for its golden sands. Tastefully furnished in country style, it is full of character and charm with many original features. A wealth of fun attractions await in the traditional seaside resort of Hunstanton, just 4 miles away.
There are ceiling beams throughout the cottage, and a wood burner in the cosy lounge is set in a splendid chimney breast. Comfortable sofas invite you to relax in front of the stove and the stylish kitchen is light and bright, with French doors opening to a patio. This room is a designated space for your canine companions, however its warm, brick-tiled floor has ample space for doggy beds or blankets. A games room with table football is a bonus for youngsters. Upstairs are three beautiful bedrooms—two king-size and one twin—and a sleek family bathroom. Outside, a small, pretty patio with garden furniture is enclosed by a Norfolk flint wall.
Thornham has a village shop and pub, plus a beach a mile away, where your four-legged pals can race across the sand and into the sea to their hearts’ content. Hunstanton’s outstanding Sea Life Centre, housing sharks, piranhas and seal cubs is must-see. While seasonal restrictions on pets may apply to busier parts of the town’s glorious beach, the sands at nearby Old Hunstanton are dog-friendly all year round: perfect for stretching paws and legs as you enjoy a short stroll or brisk hike together.
