If you're on holiday with your dog(s) this is the place to be. Amazing garden and surrounding fields available to walk. The bungalow is so spacious.

Thank you for sharing your cottage. Everything was perfect! Our two dogs loved the large enclosed garden, it allowed us to relax knowing they were safe. It would be lovely in the warmer months to sit outside. The property itself was lovely, clean and so spacious. We loved having a dining room for eating and then a table in the lounge for jigsaws anRead mored games. The kitchen was one of the best equipped cottages we've stayed in. Thank you, we loved it and wouldn't hesitate to return. Hide

The property suited us well as we had family history work to do in Scarning itself and we also wanted access to Norwich and Downham Market and to the north Norfolk coast which we love. So for us the location was perfect and the tiredness of much of the property's furnishings weren't a problem.

We had a great week here . Everything you need is there. Garden is huge & dog friendly & the walks out the back are lovely. Being so far in land it's more fore walkers & cycling & if you like long runs out you can get to the beach in 45 mins which we did on three separate occasions. All round it really good.

The cottage could be lovely, the kitchen is really well equipped. The rest of the cottage could do with having the carpets replaced. When I spoke to the owner she said that they have had a lot of dogs in the last five months. There are holes in the patio that need filling in as they are quite large and a chair leg could easily go down it.
