Nature lovers should take a trip to Blakeney Point (29 miles) to see the country’s largest colony of grey seals. For bird watchers and walkers, the salt marshes at Cley (30 miles) are a real must-visit during your stay in Norfolk.

Two steps lead up to the front door. Once inside, guests can make themselves at home in the light-filled open-plan living area which has a kitchen to one side with a lounge area opposite. In the lounge area, there is an inviting sofa where guests can enjoy a relaxed evening in front of the Smart TV.

We had been looking forward to this holiday for 12 months having booked in June 2025 and we weren't disappointed - it was worth waiting for. So quiet, peaceful and away from it all. Everything you could possibly need and a lovely, sensible welcome pack. It didn't take us long to feel at home - comfy sofa, comfy bed. The added bonus being the secureRead more paddock for the dogs. Sara and Tony are a lovely couple and we will definitely be returning next year Hide

We had a brilliant week here. Lovely guests, clean neat tidy and warm cottage where everything worked as it should, which is in our experience rare, with the welcome basket being a nice touch. Icing on the cake was the private dog meadow for guest's exclusive use. Out of the way location but within easy reach of most places including the coast. 10/Read more10 and will return. Nice to have Peacocks as neighbours too, along with an orchard full of apples and pears to pick. Hide

A gorgeous cottage in a stunning location.

We had a very enjoyable holiday at the Norfolk Dumpling and the owners were very friendly. The cottage was well equipped for two with lots of land to explore. The peacocks were lovely to watch but they woke early and can be noisy. We would definitely recommend it.

The owners were absolutely lovely and so helpful and kind! Lovely peacocks (10) and pet sheep (4) and a Shetland pony. Warm and toasty. Good tv and comfy bed. Just be aware fridge and freezer is quite small eg if you are bringing food best to get 2 pint bottles of milk than 4 pint ones in view of size.Will definitely be coming back, loved it!

I really enjoyed my stay in Norfolk Dumpling. It's very comfortable and was beautifully dressed for Christmas . The owners were very welcoming and the farm is very dog friendly. The enclosed dog field is a real advantage. The resident peacocks and rescue sheep just add to the enjoyment.

Norfolk Dumpling is a great cottage in a wonderful location. The enclosed field is a superb facility and there are a number of dog friendly walks nearby. Tony and Sara could not have been more friendly and helpful from the moment they met us on arrival. We really hope to visit again in the future.

This small one bedroom cottage was perfect for me and my wife and two dogs. The owners provided us with a welcome pack. The dogs too had their own welcome pack which was lovely. Sara and Tom could not have been nicer or more helpful. Our dogs absolutely loved the field and garden and were allowed to treat it like their own home. There are peacocks Read morein the grounds which are wonderful and a privilege to see. They are almost tame. All in all we had a lovely week and we would love to return. Hide
