We had a lovely stay at the cottage, it is in a perfect location for exploring north Norfolk, and there are some nice walks around the village with lots of quiet country lanes. The friendly owners live next door, are unobtrusive, but are easily contactable which is handy if anything goes wrong! The cottage is very dated, but comfy and homely. As Read morementioned, there is only one downstairs bathroom with very steep stairs, so do take care! We saw a log burner in the pictures (though admittedly not in the description), so had hoped this might be available, but it looks like its been out of action for a while. Lastly, unfortunately the garden is not secure, as although there are metal gates across the driveway, any small dog could squeeze through and most determined dogs could easily jump it. Thankfully the lane the cottage is on is quiet so we didnt have any issues, but meant we had to supervise the dogs at all times in the garden. Hide

Lovely cottage located in a quiet cul-de-sac. It's in a good location for accessing Norwich and the East, West and North coast of Norfolk. There's a good butcher/general shop and Post Office in the village and a lovely pub at the end of Horseshoe Lane (booking for Sunday lunch recommended). Definitely dog friendly with a towel, wash station and a tRead morehrow for the sofa, nice secure garden. Hide

This cottage is comfortable, spacious and well located. It was ideal as we had dogs with us. The staircase is very steep but ok on a short break.

Very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Large enclosed garden so no worries about the dog escaping. Plenty of parking for at least 2 cars. Steep stairs and a downstairs bathroom so taking a torch was useful for midnight visits to the toilet. We would happily stay here again

Pear Tree Cottage was very comfortable. The location was a great base for exploring. The garden was lovey & brilliant to have the wash down area for the dog. We had a great holiday.
