Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Wroxham (8.5 mls NE), Norfolk

Located in the quiet village of Honing, this delightful cottage offers an idyllic escape for older families or a cosy catch-up with friends. Its peaceful village location provides easy access to many of the region's attractions, from the stunning beaches of the North Norfolk coast to the Norfolk Broads, plus historic houses and nature reserves. At the end of the day, this charming property will welcome you back to snuggle in front of the wood burner or sip a sundowner in the garden.

Lovingly renovated with a host of original features, this cottage has a unique and homely style with vibrant floral patterns and cosy throws. Set on a stone floor with an inglenook fireplace containing a large wood burner next to a Smart TV, the lounge provides the perfect backdrop for cosy nights in. Next door, the country-style kitchen has plenty of charm and everything you need for cooking up a storm, before gathering around the fold-out dining table in the lounge or dining alfresco in the back garden.

Steep, cottage-style chairs (which aren't suitable for those with mobility issues) lead up to three gorgeous double bedrooms. Two shower rooms, one on each floor, offer comfort and convenience. To the rear of the property, there's a rambling cottage garden with a wildlife pond and outdoor furniture.

Beach days are close at hand with a string of sandy beaches running down the coast, including the seaside town of Mundesley (8 miles) and Horsey Gap (11.5 miles), renowned for its winter seal colony. Further up the coast, Cromer and Sheringham (14 and 19.5 miles respectively) offer traditional seaside fun with piers, fish and chips, and rows of beach huts. Head inland to explore the waterways of the Norfolk Broads, centred on the bustling town of Wroxham (9 miles).
