Pack all the doggy essentials and set your sights on beautiful Norfolk, one of the most canine-friendly places in the UK. Based in the pretty village of Wiveton on the banks of the River Glaven, this cosy property sleeps up to ten guests and two furry friends across four bedrooms. It’s an ideal vantage point for exploring the superb coastline, which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Accessed via a bumpy track shared only with the neighbouring farm, the property enjoys a secluded location. The layout is delightfully quirky, featuring low ceilings and two staircases leading up to the first floor. The first staircase gives way to an irresistible double bedroom with an en-suite, and the second leads to three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Back downstairs, the comfortable lounge is perfect for relaxing, but the real showstopper is the snug with its wood burner effect electric fire. Fido won’t be the only one anticipating dinnertime; the kitchen is a treat for budding cooks. Gather in the dining room for hearty meals, or enjoy a BBQ in the safely enclosed garden. There’s a pub within half a mile, so why not stroll down for a taste of refreshing local ale before exploring the medieval church? No need to fret about muddy adventures, the property has a handy utility room ideal for washing mucky paws!
Once one of the largest ports on the east coast, Wiveton village is steeped with history. Although small, there’s plenty to entertain with a ‘pick your own’ shop and the Wiveton Hall Cafe (1 mile) has regular tapas and BBQ nights. Slightly further afield, the stunning nature reserves of Blakeney and Cley-next-the-Sea are within 2 miles. Well-behaved four-legged visitors on leads are welcome, just take care of restrictions in place to protect nesting birds during the breeding season.
