The friendly owner met us as we were unpacking to show us around the outside seating and where to find the bins etc. The cottage is on a fairly busy road but has off-road parking and everything we needed for a comfy week away. There are dog walks and pub meals in easy walking distance, beaches and woods a short drive away - what more could you and your dog want?

Yarmouth which are all in easy reach. Very friendly and helpful owner who supplied us with loads of useful information. The cottage although fairly small was very well presented and it was nice to see that we had been left bread, butter, eggs etc on our arrival to get us going. I would say this is an ideal location for a couple (with or without dogs). Highly recommended!!!

The facilities were comfortable and clean, situated on a main road but it didn't effect us getting a good night's sleep. Very small enclosed area for dogs but a park nearby.
