Scamper back in time with your four-legged friend and stay in this gorgeous converted windmill, nestled within the quintessential Norfolk village of Mattishall. Quirky, rustic and completely charming, the property sleeps two humans along with a beloved hound and perhaps a babe in arms - this cosy property is top dog for grown-up guests. The owner has even laid out some welcome treats and a games box to make your visit extra special.
Every nook and cranny has been lovingly styled with decorative accessories hinting of the property’s past, and you’ll feel right at home in the lounge/diner with its original beamed ceilings and crackling coal-effect fire. A country cottage-style kitchen will be the delight of any keen cook, and the dining table has plenty of space to hide a hopeful hound in search of a few tasty morsels. Full-bellied and ready for slumber, head up the open-plan stairs from the lounge area to discover an antique-style double bed with beautiful views of the encircling fields. Messy paws will be no match for the cheerful ground-floor bathroom, which features an irresistible bath. Have a ball in the garden, relaxing on the patio with a BBQ whilst Fido dozes by your feet.
Don your walking boots and investigate the countryside, making the most of the walking and cycling opportunities nearby. The village itself is home to a friendly pub and pretty shops, but Norwich is only 13 miles away if you fancy a spot of retail therapy. A 7-mile drive will bring you to Sparham Pools; a superb location for walking your pooch and spotting rare species of birdlife. Beetley Common 7 miles away is also a popular spot for stick-chasers, and a slightly shorter 5-mile drive will bring you to Dereham, a historic market town with a fascinating heritage.
