Karen June 2023

“The Dairy is a well presented, well equipped, cosy cottage in a lovely quiet area.”

Ideal for dogs as not only is there a small secure area with the cottage there is also access to a larger secure paddock for exercise/play. Relax in the Hot Tub and listen to the owners duck playing in their pond!! There's a nice walks from the doorstep to local pubs, and you're well situated for visiting to other areas of Norfolk. e.g Sandringham, Wells By The Sea, Thetford Forest.

- Karen, June 2023
Andrew June 2023

“Truly excellent.”

The Dairy was a stunning property with everything needed for a relaxing break. The surrounding area is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Having your own private garden is also a huge bonus, especially if you have dogs like we do. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners. They were attentive and helpful, without being intrusive. Overall, a truly fantastic break and we will definitely be returning.

- Vicky, March 2023
Rebecca March 2023

“We had a great stay - good facilities, friendly owners and fantastic for holidaying with a dog.”

The hot tub is shared, but the system works really well and we got to use it when we wanted to. The dog washing facility and fields are also a huge bonus. The only slight drawback was the lack of storage shelves in the bedroom to unpack clothing.

“Karen and Stuart are fabulous, kind, helpful hosts and all of their rentals are the perfect places to spend time away with your dogs.”

Karen has a wonderful way with dogs and mine felt at home instantly with the paddock as a super safe place for mine to roam around off their leads. The Dairy was a stunning place to stay with every comfort available. The bed was extremely comfortable with splendid crisp bedding, towels and robes along with a super shower or bath. Loved the hot tub too. Being located in a quiet rural village the quietness was so welcoming and every night gave a wonderful nights sleep.

“Really and truly dog friendly.”

We were lucky that there was only one other dog staying so we practically had the grounds to ourselves. The hot tub was a lovely addition and even with Covid we were able to explore and visit many lovely places. Would go again and would recommend.

- Janice, August 2020
Richard August 2020

“We are just back from a wonderful and relaxing week in The Dairy, and it was exactly what we needed!”

Karen was so welcoming and hospitable, and the house was just perfect for the two of us. Even with the other two accommodations occupied adjacent, we barely noticed anyone else was around. The house was adorable, especially the upstairs suite, and was clean, and the owners fully mindful of the covid advice, which was great. And the garden, surrounding field, and the ducks we’re a total pleasure. So many lovely places to visit in the vicinity and beyond and super cycle routes. Thank you very much, it was truly peaceful and a perfect week’s staycation!

- Richard, August 2020
Jo July 2020

“We had a wonderful stay at the Dairy.”

The property is lovely and decorated to a high standard, making you feel very much at home. Karen is a friendly and welcoming host and ensured we settled in. The hot tub is a fab addition, also being under cover means it can be enjoyed in all weathers. The shared gardens are beautifully kept and there is so much room that privacy is never an issue. Couple of very minor points; we had a couple of issues with intermittent wifi and the kitchen could do with some additional cooking utensils; serving dishes etc. We found plenty to do in the area and short drives away. We are already planning a return visit and may look at coming with other family members if we can book more than one property at once.

- Jo, July 2020
Pauline July 2020

“We had a lovely week in the dairy .”

.The cottage was lovely and clean and had everything you needed we took our push bikes and did the peddars way and was lovely to get back and enjoy the hot tub .it was a shared hot tub but it was nt a problem just need to put your name on the board and what time you wanted to go in . It's a really good dog friendly place loads of room for them to run around and even have a tub with taps and shower head to hose the dogs down .I would recommend this cottage to my friends and family and even go back myself sometime

- Pauline, July 2020
Gemma February 2020

“We stayed in the dairy.”

.Bed could do with a deep clean as large amount of human and pet hair in the slats, bed and pillows too soft for me personally. There is lots of dust and cob webs, shower tray wasn't cleaned or bathroom floor needs good wash..however beautiful cottage, hot tub was great addition and the owner was very helpful and friendly! Enjoy our stay regualess, thank you!

- Gemma, February 2020
Susan October 2019

“Warm welcome from Karen.”

Very comfy cottage in a lovely location. Heating system was excellent. The grounds were well maintained and the use of the paddock was great for our dogs. If you are looking for a totally dog friendly cottage then this is it. There is even a bath for the dogs with hot/cold water and towels provided. Would recommend this cottage .

- Susan, October 2019

Catherine October 2019

“This was one of the best dog friendly cottages we have ever stayed in.”

We were greeted on arrival by the owner who took time to show us around and also explain the free use of the communal garden space and paddock area where dogs could be exercised. The cottage itself was cosy and comfortable with lots of thoughtful extras to make it feel like a home from home. The hot tub was a first for us but we enjoyed using it on several evenings- very relaxing!

“The Dairy fully met and exceeded our expectations.”

The property was fantastic, our hosts were always there for advice and nothing was too much trouble. Have already recommended to friends and family.

Sherringham Park is amazing, Castle Acre a lovely place and well signposted walks. Will definitely go back. And very dog friendly!

Robert July 2019

“This cottage, facilities and location certainly all have the WOW factor from the moment we drove into the drive.”

Fabulous welcome from the owner who took the time to show us around and left us a lovely welcome pack. Having booked cottages previously to cater for our two dogs this one ticked all the boxes with three vast secure gardens. The facilities are fabulous with Hot Tub and dog washing facilities with towels, shampoos etc. Great location to see all the sights of North Norfolk within about an hours drive, Norwich, Sandringham, Cromer, Norfolk Broads, Bury St Edmonds and Thetford Forest and not forgetting the lovely Swaffam only 7 miles away. This is a one huge bed cottage but there are two other larger ones privately adjacent.

- Robert, July 2019
Danielle June 2019

“This was a stunning little cottage.”

Perfect for a break away and it was great to be able to bring our dogs. Karen was really lovely and welcoming. She could not do enough to help us and had some really good ideas of where to go.

The cottage is very dog friendly and our dog loved the enclosed paddock which was reassuring for us. The cottage itself was perfect for our needs, we spent 3 nights there and would definitely stay again. It was warm and cosy with a comfortable bed. We visited the local pub in Saham Toney one night, good pub grub and our dog Monty was made a great fuss of. We didn't make use of the hot tub due to time restrictions but it looked fantastic, maybe next time!

- Nancy, January 2019
