  Our dog loved staying here, having lots of new walks and things to see and sniff, and we all enjoyed visiting Cromer which is the most dog friendly town we've visited.

  The good: The location is good, 20 paces from the car to the door, quiet site with easy access to running and exploring spaces for dogs, and pleasant walks for humans too. Morrisons is only 4 minutes drive away if you avoid peak traffic in the town center. The kitchen has a range of good quality pans, trays and utensils (no tongs), microwave, oven and hob all as expected and clean. The TV has HDMI and USB inputs so you can take your own media to watch when the internet is down. The not so good: The beds sound and feel like sacks of rocks and spanners. The bedding was dirty with muddy paw prints on the sheets, greasy sweat stains on one pillow case and what I would describe as "meaty dog slobber" on another. Electricity "included" was one unit. 1kWh. 22p of power on a 7 night rental. Additional energy was 55p per unit, or £1 for 1.8kWh, via a coin fed mechanical meter. Many dead insects...on floors, walls, ceilings, pictures, tangled in the dust drifts... The internet connection is "3 mobile broadband", so speed varies from 30Mb early morning to 0.3Mb at 6pm on a Saturday. The dead animal smell when we arrived was identified as an open bag of hairy rabbit ears which was on top of the kitchen cupboards. There is a large selection of back crippling furniture in the dining room arranged to make moving around as difficult as possible. The can't be helped: The doorways are short - mind your head. Due to the nearby tall trees the building received no direct sunlight at all, so was chilly throughout our stay (mid september) even on sunny days. Tips for guests: Don't look behind the sofa. Take warm indoor clothes if it's not summer. The comfortable chairs are under the beds in the back bedroom. Morrisons sell clean bedding and blankets. You can get bags of £1 coins for the meter from the post-office inside the coop by the church. O2/GiffGaff mobile data was more reliable than 3, if you need internet for work. If you need things from Amazon, there's a pickup locker you can walk a dog to above the pier.

  Great stay at Owlets. Probably one of the best holiday lets we have stayed in. The close proximity to Heacham Manor Hotel made up for the one mile walk to the nearest shops and pubs. The walk to the beach took 15 minutes across the Golf Course and a further 10 minutes to the promenade. In fact we walked the whole way to Old Hunstanton and a wonderful sandy beach with dunes. Took the little train back to Hunstanton and the bus which stopped right opposite Owlets. Owlets with its modern well equipped open plan kitchen and living area was a perfect space to keep an eye on our Grandkids and the stair gate a sensible place. The little back yard with parasol, seating and BBQ became a nice winding down haven. Parking for two cars right outside the back door away from the road also meant we had no worries getting the kids in and out safely. Great stay good attentive owners.

  14 Westgate proved to be a magnificent wildlife hide during our stay. Most days, kites came close, as did muntjac deer, a hare, and barn owl. Holme-next-the-sea was a great opportunity to see June orchids. The ancient dunes hosting large numbers of pyramidal orchids. Littler terns were breeding on the beach and spoonbills feeding in the lagoon. The ruins of the Carmelite Friary in Friar Lane, Burnham Norton was very atmospheric of the areas medieval past and wildlife. Not mentioned in the Norfolk Hideaways information but it deserves a visit, with or without a dog, especially as its so close. A big thank you for such a wonderful place to stay. We really loved our walk along the sea/ river wall at Burnham Overy Staithe. The accommodation was excellent, comfortable and perfectly situated.

  I think this might be one of the best places I've ever stayed! It is the most quirky and adorable little pod with every home comfort you could wish for. With the heating it was super cosy, not glamping at all really...and a lovely ensuite shower room, absolute luxury! The fox touches all around were perfect and it was so much fun climbing the stairs to the mezzanine to go to bed (although not for the unsteady, people with vertigo or after a few too many drinks!!!) The outside space with the fire basket, log seating and solar fairy lights was just lovely although a bit too chilly on this occasion for us to use. The location is great, ideal for exploring all of Norfolk's charms but isolated enough to properly get away from it all. We will definitely be returning!

  Clean, bright and warm accommodation which suited us perfectly- 4 adults and 2 dogs.

  The welcome basket was appreciated, as was the friendly communication with Mark. The garden was fully enclosed for our 4 legged friends- the only problem was that because the garden was all grass it started to get muddy near the door with them running over the same patch constantly and there was nowhere outside to clean off their paws and so some mud and cut grass was brought into the property although we tried to keep it to a minimum. (we did have a westie with green feet for a couple of days). Squirrel Lodge is in a good location for visiting The Broads and local dog-friendly beaches- Happisburgh being our favourite. Thanks again.
