Love Muckledyke Cottages! Such lovely neighbours and dogs! London Marathon training so lovely runs from the front door onto the coastal path left and right. Regular sightings of various deer. Really great dinner at the Red Lion, also super friendly folk. And a big shout out for Jo and Flo's sauna and coffee and crab rolls by the boat yards in Wells.

A lovely mini-break for a few days of recharge. Some lovely walks at neighbouring villages with the wonderful Norfolk skies. Very disappointed by the attitude of Stiffkey Stores regarding dogs as I was on my own so did not return, but everywhere else visited including all the wonderful shops in Holt gave a wonderful dog-friendly welcome.
