Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Great Ryburgh, Norfolk

This spacious riverside cottage with a large garden and traditional interiors boasting an exposed brick fireplace and a roll-top bath is an excellent choice for a dog-friendly, family getaway in north Norfolk. Spend your time away exploring the tranquil countryside, nearby market towns and historical attractions or beyond, into the Norfolk Coast National Landscape. Step inside and find yourself in the characterful lounge with neutral tones throughout, nature-themed art and a vast inglenook fireplace with a wood burner-effect gas fire.

A slouched sofa and plush velvet armchair sit beside a bookshelf and in front of the coffee table and TV. Continue into the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner with tones of green throughout, slate flooring and wooden countertops on the U-shaped fitted units. Next to this is a wooden dining table with bench seating and chairs.

Also on the ground floor is a utility room and a WC. Climb the cottage-style stairs to reach a family bathroom with a roll-top bath and a walk-in shower plus three bedrooms – a king-size, twin and single room. Outside is a half-acre enclosed garden which backs onto the river, with plants, a hammock, a lawned area and furniture.
