“The cottage was very comfortable, clean and everything we needed.”

The gardens and meadow were lovely to sit and stroll in. The dog loved the ducks. The hosts were lovely, always at hand for any help and ideas where to visit.

“The cottage was just as described and advertised in the pictures.”

The hot tub is lovely and if you choose to go in it at night it has fairy lights and an outdoor heater which is a lovely touch - it is more than big enough for the four guests staying in the Hayloft so if you book it for private use, it is very spacious and makes for a lovely evening. The Hayloft lounge has three sofas which made for a really spacious and comfortable communal space - we were four adults and two dogs and we had lots of room to relax. The log burner is a lovely touch and gives it a really cosy feel. The owner had put up and decorated a real Christmas tree which was such a lovely surprise to walk in and see. The bedrooms are large - one is massive. Really comfy beds, plenty of storage, complete peace at night. The bathroom is spacious and clean with a great shower. Having our own fenced off paddock for the dogs was ideal and the dog agility space gave them plenty of space to run around and socialise with the other visiting dogs. There is a pub about a 20 min walk away - not all of this is paved so not that easy to walk in the dark but the cottage does provide a torch. There are other pubs within a short driving distance that we went to on the Sunday for food as the pub near the cottage stops serving food on a Sunday past 1.30pm. Would be great if bathrobes and slippers were provided for the walk to the hot tub - I think other cottages may offer this as the welcome book mentioned it but we could not find these in the Hayloft. But that is a tiny suggestion as otherwise everything was great - would definitely recommend.

“We have now been taking our dogs on holiday for the past 5 years and this has by far been the nicest cottage we have stayed in.”

From a spacious lounge with plenty of seating to unbelievably large and comfortable beds. Every room is tastefully decorated and has kept its cottage feel. A perfect place to take your dogs with a large paddock area for them to run loose in and outdoor washing facility’s for when they get mucky. Throw in the hot tub and log burner and what more could you possibly ask for? The owner Karen is extremely friendly and helpful and we certainly would recommend this cottage to our friends. The only thing we would have liked is walks on the doorstep or around the village, but there are so many places to visit to take our dogs walking within a 30 or 40 minute drive that even that wasn’t a huge negative.

- Mr Hickman, November 2019
“Great lovely cosy cottage, very nicely furnished and very comfortable .”

Massive thumbs up from us.

- Mr Tuffield, October 2019
“Lovely cottage”

Stayed here for a week in October the cottage was lovely warm and relaxing. You would never know it was dog friendly no doggy smells at all, the paddock for the dog was a great idea and there own little pamper area. The hot tub was a great hit after a day dog walking and exploring. Would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone.

“Amazing Place”

We stayed with our almost 1 year old and 5 year old daughters. For a place that is for dog lovers you'd never know it. Property is so well maintained and absolutely located in the most amazing area! Easy to get to. Owners were beyond helpful and friendly. The grounds, well we spent 4 of 7 days just in the garden. Stunning! The hot tub, it is a shared usage and you can reserve it for private use which I think is a fantastic idea. You can sit and watch the moon rise from the hot tub, spent many evenings relaxing in there while the kids were asleep. I have family 2 miles from here too so I will 110% stay again! No doubt in my mind. (We booked this because it looked amazing, didnt even know my family were just down the road). Cant fault you in anyway at all! Superb!

- Danielle W, September 2019
“Wonderful place”

My family and I stayed here with my three dogs in August 2019. We stayed in the hayloft. It was clean, very relaxing and very comfortable. The village of Saham Toney was very friendly and is situated in unspoilt Norfolk countryside. We had a fabulous time and would recommend it to anyone

A very pleasant place to stay for a few days, the dog particularly enjoyed the safe paddock to run around in - location is excellent for forests and beaches are within an hours drive and well worth that drive

- Mrs Sternfeld, March 2019
“The cottage is on a blind bend quite a busy road so have to be very careful when leaving to go out and as there is no gate to stop dogs running out in to road so.”

Keep dogs on lead. There is a place on site to let dogs play which was good

- Mr Simmonds, February 2019
“A lovely cosy cottage great location ideal for the dogs, spotlessly clean.”

Owner very helpful it was a perfect break in a busy working schedule

- Mr Maasz, February 2019
“We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful cottage which had everything you needed and more !”

Literally everything had been thought about and the cottage was spotlessly clean even though it caters for dogs We would like to say a massive thank you fir making our stay most enjoyable

- Mr Osborne, November 2018
“Very friendly and helpful owners”

We stayed in the Hayloft for 6 nights in June 2018. The situation was very central for visiting the Kings Lynn to Cromer area. Karen and Stuart could not have been more helpful... when we asked for some cleaning material they told us not to worry... we were on holiday! The accommodation fitted the bill for 4 of us (no doggy smells either). We enjoyed visits to Kings Lynn, Sandringham, Old Hunstanton, Burnham Market & Burnham Overy Staithe and over to Felbrigg Hall. The weather was perfect too. Warm enough (in low 20's). I would strongly recommend The SwanInn at Hilborough (IP26 5BW) for meals. We went 3 times and were not disappointed. Ray

“Relaxing, clean and so comfortable”

The owner, Karen was so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Stayed at The Hayloft, Karen showed us around The Barn and The Dairy. Highly recommend these cottages especially The Barn. All three were furnished to a high standard. Very dog friendly, I sadly lost my dog two days before travelling, arrived to find a vase of yellow roses. The paddock for dog walks and fresh eggs were excellent. First time in Norfolk, and would definitely go back and stay at the cottages.

- Tony L, October 2016
“The pictures do not do it justice! Delightful!”

We have just come to the end of a week in the Hayloft. Children and dogs in tow we have had a most relaxing week. The set up for dogs is superb - mine will be crying as we leave. The cottage is delightful, and hot tub utter bliss - we are so keen to return! Great service - would highly recommend!

- Heather H, September 2015
“Brilliant & Relaxing”

We had a great stay we celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary New year & a birthday. the Christmas tree was still up. We also had friends in the Barn next to use which made it even better. We had our own party and not far to walk home and the hot tub was fantastic. The owners are such lovely people with a good story behind them. We had milk, eggs and wine on arrival and they invited us to their new year celebrations. They were great hosts with good food and fantastic eggs! Our girls enjoyed watching the fireworks from the hot tub which was fantastic and our 2 dogs felt at home. The cottage was well equip very home from home and very very warm. Cant fault it.

- Liz T, April 2015
“most chilled”

Just returned from a week at the hayloft, can honestly say the owner's are the most friendliest people ever. The surroundings are perfect for a peaceful holiday and being able to take the dogs and not worry is a bonus . Great area for dogs to run around and a hot tub as an added bonus for us ..fed the chickens and collected the eggs , all in all was lovely and cant say one negative thing .. Book , you won't be disappointed .

- sudsnsnips, August 2014
“Dog friendly cottage”

This was a lovely restful cottage with plenty of room for the dogs to run about. The owners were lovely (even when my dog killed one of their chickens!). The dogs are allowed to sit on settees, go upstairs, whatever they are allowed to do at home which was great as you didn't have to keep worrying about what they were doing. Facilities good, and hot tib lovely.

“Perfect week in a lovely cottage!!”

Fantastic holiday. The cottage was perfect and set in a lovely location. The owners Karen & Stuart catered for our every need and couldn't have been nicer. The hot tub was great, so relaxing at the end of the day. Would recommend to everyone.
