About the property
All about the inside:
Living Room
Two lovely big sofas to seat 6 and a chair. The room is a proper cottage living room so we can’t fit any more big sofas in but there is other seating in the kitchen. The new electric woodburning stove delivers instant warmth and comfort without the hassle and mess of a wood burner. Operational by remote control with optional smoke effects; can your dogs tell the difference? There is a 40″ flat screen TV (with Freesat) and some lovely art works. From here into the…

There are double doors opening out onto the glassed balcony (flush to the wall) looking over the garden so you can enjoy the fresh air and sound of the sea!
All about the outside:
The garden is a reasonable size and fully enclosed with a nearly 6ft high thick hedge, backed with a solid fence – really secure!
You can hear the sea and the gulls from the garden with just a field between you and the sea. There is a garden room with sofas for enjoying the sun or an evening barbecue (provided) and a dog poo loo to save using plastic bags AND a warm dog shower too.
Your pack can really let loose in this garden on their holidays – Seaview Cottage has such a secure boundary!
There is parking out the front of the property for three cars.
The cottage is approx. 100m to the beach, there is a public bench at the top of the steps for those that would like to watch without travelling down the steps. Hand rails either side of purpose built concrete beach access steps.
Will this property suit my dogs?
This superbly secure property suits most dogs and they are truly welcome! The garden is a reasonable size for running around and playing, no other dogs can be seen or heard nearby. There is hardly any passing traffic and only a few people will be walking past the house on the way to the beach and that is at the front. No-one passing can be seen from the garden at the back. The walk to the beach is very short and the beach itself is generally quiet. Reactive dogs are usually very happy here! We truly understand the needs of reactive dogs – have a read of our website blog.
Please note:
- No smoking in the house please.
- Electric car, bike or scooter/wheelchair charging is NOT available at this property.

they will be settled, please contact us for dog sitting recommendations. - The lane access to the cottage is a single track, residential lane – please travel along it slowly for the safety of all.

“Thank you so much for a fantastic stay at Seaview Cottage you really have thought of everything here and it really maded our stay that bit more enjoyable. The outside shower had been a godsend being able to wash the sea and sand from the dogs, all without freexing our hands off in this wet and blustery weather. So good we’re going to install one at home! Thank you as well for the excellent recommendations, the dogs loved Bacton woods and seal spotting at Winterton. The Gunton Arms is a must if you like quirk interior and great food. Loved seeing the red deer herd there too. This has been our first stay in Norfolk but we most certainly will be back and wouldn’t hestiate booking with ERC again and returning to Seaview Cottage.” – Emma, Steven, Purdy and Pip, Jan 2023
“A wonderful week away in this lovely cottage – so comfortable and cosy! We loved being so close to the beach Guiness and Elia had so much fun and will miss the long walks along the spectactular beach each day! We spotted some seals at Horsey Gap and on the one rainy day explored nearby villages including Knapton + the beautiful church of St Peter + St Paul with its amazing ‘angel’ roof. Everything was perfect and peaceful, too. The welcome cake was delicious and soon to be devoured, will definitely be back.” – Barbara and Tom, Jan 2023

How to find us
Seaview Cottage, Watchhouse Lane, Bacton, Norfolk, NR12 0HL.
What3Words location: ///choppers.enchanted.rave
Directions
Drive through Bacton or Walcott on the B1159, depending on which way you are coming, and opposite the lane leading to Bromholme Priory (private) there is a small road between the houses. This is Watchouse Lane. Drive a couple of hundred yards along this, towards the sea and on your left will be two semi detached houses. The furthest is Seaview Cottage. To leave the cottage it is safest to come out of the alternative entrance, so leave the cottage and instead of turning towards the Priory road, keep going and come out on the small layby by some historic houses. This is only a very short distance from the other entrance but easier and safer to come out of.
