How far is the coast?<\/strong> Beaches The beaches in Norfolk are a great draw when visiting the county. Most of them are sandy and great places to walk with or without dogs. Dogs are welcome all year round on Norfolk beaches, there may be some areas of a particular beach that are restricted during peak times May-September, but there is usually part of the beach that allows dogs all year round. And on some beaches when the tide is in you can walk across the sand dunes. What is there to do?<\/strong> Are there any golf courses close by? What Museums are there locally?

Yes indeed, both of them very much welcome dogs. Do ask about how many you can bring as it will be dependent on breed. As an example, we would suggest two well behaved medium sized dogs or three if a smaller breed.<\/p>\n
No extra charge for your dogs<\/p>\n
Dogs are allowed on the sofas, we just ask that you bring your own throws, and if your dog is used to sleeping on your bed, then we ask that throws are also used or that you bring your own bed linen<\/p>\n
The market town of Reepham is just over 2 miles away, so a five-minute drive or about a 40 minute steady walk along quiet country lanes and footpaths. There is a good selection of independent shops and cafes in the market place including The Norfolk Farmshop and Deli, Dianes Pantry, Robertsons the Butcher, Motts the Pharmacy, Newsagent and PostOffice, Gift shop and Spar convenience store and ATM. There is a traditional pub The Kings Arms in the marketplace that serves great ale and a good selection of home cooked meals. Its usually quite busy so worth booking a table if you are wanting to eat, it is also doggie friendly. There are also several cafes for a cup of coffee and a slice of cake.
The footpath beside the cottage also takes you to Bawdeswell which is about a 35 minute walk or 5 minute drive. You will find The Old Workhouse pub for a drink, a Mccolls convenience store, Bawdeswell Garden Centre and caf\u00e9 and five minutes further on is Hamptons at The Barn, caf\u00e9 and gift shop.<\/p>\n

The major supermarkets do deliver here, so yes book one and save yourself that trip. There are some shops in Reepham so you can always get something you\u2019ve forgotten. If you need to book a delivery time before you arrive do let me know so I can arrange to meet them.<\/p>\n
There are several farm shops locally for fresh veg and a lot more besides. Reepham Farmshop and Deli in the market place has fruit and veg, cheese, bread, local meats, fish and lots more. Robertsons the butcher is good for all meat and has a good bbq range. Bawdeswell Garden Centre also has a well stocked deli shop.<\/p>\n

We are blessed with traditional coastal towns and so many award-winning beaches, unspoilt sand dunes and salt flats along the North Norfolk Coast which are about 30-45 minutes away.
The pretty seaside towns of Cromer, Sheringham and Wells-next-the-Sea with great sandy beaches, museums, surfing, plenty of attractions and wonderful walking along the Norfolk Coastal Path. Blakeney is a charming coastal village and was a medieval commercial port transporting spices and oriental cloths, and no doubt a few smugglers! You can enjoy sailing, power boats, paddle boarding as well as seal and bird spotting trips. The nature reserves at Bakeney, Cley Holkham, Titchwell and Snettisham to name but a few are great way of enjoying the countryside and seeing nature close up.<\/p>\n
Holkham \u2013 certainly \u201cthe biggest beach in the world\u201d, it\u2019s a long walk if you want to paddle but stunning all the same with dunes and forests to explore. The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery spend a few days In Norfolk on training exercise and have been seen on the beach at Holkham in September.
Wells Next the Sea is picture postcard with the little train, beach huts on stilts and golden sand, it s a real bucket and spade beach. There is a lifeguard and a hooter sounds when the tide is changing, it certainly comes in at speed so beware if you are swimming or on the islands. A caf\u00e9 and toilets are located in the carpark.
Burham Overy Boats, salt marshes, sand dunes and peace, it\u2019s about a mile walk to the beach but well worth it.
