Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Horningtoft, Norfolk

Set on a working farm, this picturesque holiday getaway is ideal for a couple or a small family. Base yourselves in the heart of the Norfolk countryside and explore tranquil lanes and historic market towns, or head for the coast and enjoy a day on the beach or viewing wildlife out at sea. This beautifully converted barn offers cosiness and serenity for a reviving break.

The living space is open plan, encompassing a kitchen which has all the equipment necessary for creating delicious meals, a dining table for four, and comfortable seating on which you can snuggle down after a day’s adventures. Play games, listen to music, get stuck into a great book or enjoy a movie on the Smart TV. At bedtime, no need to climb stairs as both bedrooms are on the same level: a double with another Smart TV and a twin room, sharing a family shower room.

For catching up with laundry, there’s a shared room with washing and drying facilities, as well as seating and a selection of books and games with which to pass the time. For fresh air and perhaps a sundowner or an al fresco meal, there’s a picnic bench on the shared lawn, and you’re welcome to explore the rest of the grounds, which include a summerhouse and a pond. This area is great for both walking and cycling, while for shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants, drive out to one of Norfolk’s historic market towns - Fakenham, Holt, Dereham and King’s Lynn all lie within 25 miles.

Boat trips depart from Blakeney Point, 20 miles, to see the England’s largest grey seal colony - one not to miss. And if it’s a beach day you fancy, the seaside resorts of Wells-next-the-Sea, Hunstanton, Cromer and Sheringham are all within 25 miles.
