Perfect for pups, this lovely cottage has everything you and your four-legged friends will need for a seaside getaway. It's incredibly dog-friendly, with heaps of features that dog owners will appreciate – an enclosed, astroturf courtyard (no muddy paws!), easy-clean laminate floors, bowls and crates, and a comfy white sofa that looks stylish but is easy to wipe down. Even without a pooch, you'll be happy to call this annexe home. It's bright, inviting and has plenty of charm. Owners Tracie and Neil are highly knowledgeable about the area and keep a cosy, traditional home – they live next door but can be as hands-on (or off) as you need. We love their attention to detail, and a few unique pieces were handcrafted by Neil, including the TV stand converted from a Singer sewing machine, the pine coffee table and the light fittings. Set in the coastal village of Happisburgh, there's a lot to keep you busy. After an alfresco breakfast, lace up your boots and take a walk along the beach – both Cart Gap and Happisburgh Beach are a twenty-minute stroll away. You can't miss the bold red-and-white-striped lighthouse along the sea – it's the oldest working one in East Anglia – but other places worth exploring include the lush Bacton Woods and the collection of inns and pubs serving traditional English food along the seaside.

Home truths
At full capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed
Up to four dogs are welcome to join you at this pet-friendly home – the hosts provide bowls, crates, poo bags, outdoor bin and an outside hose
Dogs are also welcome to join you on the sofa as long as you bring your own throws
The fence in the courtyard is about 3ft high, so it's better suited to dogs that don't jump
The owners live next door and have their own pups (bloodhounds) – they keep them away from the annexe but are happy to introduce you
We think a car is necessary here – there's parking for two cars in the gravel parking lot, which is fenced in with an electric gate

Whether you’re exploring the Norman-era Norwich Castle, gazing up at the soaring arches of the eleventh-century Norwich Cathedral, or admiring the Tudor buildings along Elm Hill, Norwich’s prosperous past is easy to see.

Host
This home is managed by Sue
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Knowing how difficult it was to book a truly dog-friendly holiday, Sue made it her mission to find getaways on the Norfolk coast to suit all dog owners. She and her team warmly welcome all breeds with no added fees, plus they're super knowledgeable about the local area. Ask them anything you want to know – be it dog-friendly beaches or the best pubs for pups – and they'll be able to help.
