Overview
Property code: OC-2365

Perfectly placed on the edge of the village, this beautifully presented cottage is steeped in history and ideal for a couple or a family and one beloved canine companion looking for a relaxing holiday on the Norfolk coast. Nearby, Heacham is a delightful village boasting some stunning beaches. South Beach (less than 2 miles) offers calm waters ideal for paddling and adventurous water sports such as kayaking, kite and windsurfing and welcomes your pup all year round.

A characterful two-storey cottage welcomes you and your hound into a cosy yet spacious lounge. The lounge is the heart of the house, with a Smart TV, plenty of comfortable seating, and a beautiful wood burner. Following the original floorboards around the space, you reach the dining area, while the farmhouse-style kitchen boasts all you need to rustle up some tasty treats. At the rear of the cottage is a gorgeous light-filled conservatory with views over the garden. There is a contemporary bathroom on this level. Upstairs comprises one king-size bedroom boasting a grand four-poster bed and a second bedroom with bunk beds. The conservatory opens onto a delightful courtyard, enclosed by a high stone wall – the ideal spot to catch the last of the day’s sun and safe for your children and four paws to relax.

From the promenade at Heacham, let your top dog lead the way on a gentle stroll to the neighbouring Victorian seaside town of Hunstanton (3.5 miles). Snettisham Woods (3 miles) is perfect for a woodland walk for all ages, and your hound promises to leave no stick unfetched around this forest trail. There are views of The Wash along the way. A great day out for all the family is Sandringham Park (7 miles), wth plenty of trails to set tails wagging.

A lovely cosy cottage, great log burner for those chilly nights. One minute walk to the shop is helpful for supplies and 5 minute drive to the beach.

We stayed at Parcel Cottage this August, getting the best weather Norfolk has to offer and we fell in love with this beautiful area with so much to do! Evening swims at the beach whilst the sun was setting, a super day cycling the bikes we'd hired from the cycle shop in the village, Wednesday morning we enjoyed the car boot sale at the football cluRead moreb. Staying in such a well equipped and comfortable cottage meant we lacked for nothing! The beds were super comfy, and it was well decorated throughout. The owners are so attentive and helpful...they really have made it a true home from home. Thank you and I hope many others enjoy it! Hide

The standard of cleaning was low on arrival - lots of hair on floor and even in the sheets. Many cobwebs and lots of dust. The rules on the booking page did not reflect the terms set out in the property info at the cottage e.g. the booking said 'one dog' whereas the booklet at the property said 'one small or medium dog'. Also, the property bookletRead more said that the dog was not allowed on furniture or upstairs. I can't think of anyone who doesn't let their dog on furniture or prevents them from using an entire floor of the property, so I honestly think that this means the property is not dog friendly. The booklet also stated that the fireplace was out of order, even though when I contacted the host (who was very lovely and helpful) she said this was out of date and incorrect. We ran out of supplies that were listed as provided, and had to buy our own toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, laundry capsules, kitchen roll, and washing up brush. The private garden space wasn't attached to the property directly, but was accessed via a communal space. This was disappointing as it meant we couldn't safely and securely let our dog outside, as we didn't want her in the neighbours spaces or even escaping onto the road if a neighbour opened the shared gate.
