This spacious riverside cottage with a large garden and traditional interiors boasting an exposed brick fireplace and a roll-top bath is an excellent choice for a dog-friendly, family getaway in north Norfolk. Spend your time away exploring the tranquil countryside, nearby market towns and historical attractions or beyond, into the Norfolk Coast National Landscape.

Step inside and find yourself in the characterful lounge with neutral tones throughout, nature-themed art and a vast inglenook fireplace with a wood burner-effect gas fire. A slouched sofa and plush velvet armchair sit beside a bookshelf and in front of the coffee table and TV. Continue into the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner with tones of green throughout, slate flooring and wooden countertops on the U-shaped fitted units. Next to this is a wooden dining table with bench seating and chairs. Also on the ground floor is a utility room and a WC. Climb the cottage-style stairs to reach a family bathroom with a roll-top bath and a walk-in shower plus three bedrooms – a king-size, twin and single room. Outside is a half-acre enclosed garden which backs onto the river, with plants, a hammock, a lawned area and furniture.

While staying in Great Ryburgh, stroll along the river and explore the village centre to find a fish and chip shop, post office, village shop and brewery (within 0.5 miles). Take your four-legged friends for a run around the pools of Pensthorpe Nature Reserve (0.5 miles). Head into the neighbouring market town of Fakenham (5 miles) for a wider selection of shops and eateries. Visit the historic Walsingham Abbey (7.5 miles) or Hindringham Hall Gardens (8.5 miles). Pack a picnic and spend a day walking along the coast path and relaxing on the sandy beaches of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape (9.5 miles).

Comfortable cottage with the river at the back of the garden. The website info said pub nearby but when we went to the pub it was closed. We were then told by locals that it had been mostly closed for the last couple of years! It also says in the cottage information book about the pub and that it serves food. This had a very negative effect on our Read moreholiday as I like to have a pub in the village I stay to avoid taking the car. It also mentions a butcher but locals say that's been closed for years!

We loved the cottage, itts not a show home, it's lived in condition was more than acceptable to us. Well equipped in all areas, the garden is fantastic, we had our canoe with us and took advantage of the river location. I would cut back the undergrowth on both banks along the garden stretch and make a real feature of the river.

We really enjoyed a spring holiday in River Cottage. Lots of wildlife , friendly swans, barn owl, frogs and numerous birds. Beware if you have a dog that chases - as deers pass through. Well equipped and Wi Fi a welcome addition.

Comfortable and homely. Well equipped with all you need. Full of old world charm. Good garden for wildlife and for our dog to run around and enjoy. We had a great holiday even though the weather wasn't as kind as it could have been.

Lovely comfortable cottage, great large garden and a river, which our dog loved. Challenging stairs and low doorways typical of this style of cottage.

Comfy cottage with very challenging almost vertical stairs . Gardens are amazing on the river but access can be stopped if you have small children as no life saving equipment by the river . We were 3 adults so really enjoyed the garden. All necessary equipment is provided and we had an enjoyable week
