  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.

  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.

  Only discovered The Cabin when our previous cottage couldn't accommodate us, but what a find! Spacious and comfortable with a lovely large courtyard garden. Also so close to the quay with its shops and restaurants. We come to Norfolk, especially Wells, every year. We love the beaches, Wells and Holkham, the quaint villages - Blakeney, Burnham Market, the Walsinghams, and the wonderful countryside. Our lab Bonnie loves it too! Sands Restaurant and The Crab House we would highly recommend. The Crab House you need to book at the beginning of your stay or you wont get a table. Would love to come back again next year but gather you only take one dog - next year we will have two!

  We stayed in South Lodge East last year and had such a wonderful time that we couldn’t wait to come back. The estate is as amazing as we remembered but Palmers Lodge was a big disappointment. The downstairs of the property was cold and damp in spite of putting the heating on. The bathrooms were grubby and cold. There were spiders and bugs everywhere. Our clothing smelled of damp. We were basically very uncomfortable -even the bed seemed damp. The welcome pack would have been more useful if it included a small loaf of bread and a pint of milk. I expected much more comfort from this property and I do not think it is good value for money.

  We absolutely loved the lodge. Lovely location, fantastic site and lovely views. The lodge had everything we needed for a week’s stay. Burnham Market is a gorgeous village. Recommend The Hero in Burnham Overy Staithe! We had our dog Teddy with us, so went to Brancaster Beach which was great for dogs but not much else there, Holkham Beach which was beautiful and lovely for all, with Holkham Park and shops being close by. Wells-Next-the-Sea town and beach was our favourite, also great for dogs and some lovely shops. Also Holt was a lovely town to walk around. Loved our week here and would stay again!
