Hello!

I’m Victoria and this is Pip and we’re giving you a big friendly welcome to Stones Throw! I’ve lived in Norfolk for over a decade now and can say, Norfolk has my heart, even though I’ve lived in many beautiful places. For me it’s the space this county offers, its gentle feel, expansive coastline, the miles of golden sand, backed by glorious countryside; a county teaming with wildlife and its diverse habitats.

Born on the Isle of Wight, the seaside was a big part of my early life and it’s been great to circle back ‘home’ after a long time away. I’ve felt warmly welcomed in Norfolk and every day I enjoy the benefits of this, beyond dog friendly county!

My wish to share what I’ve found here, led me to Stones Throw. Now, much loved by my guests, I offer it to you, your family, friends and beloved four-legged companions.

I hope you enjoy it here and have many, many wonderful adventures together.

Parking

Will this property suit my dogs?

Yes! The garden, although not huge, is very secure.  It’s possible you may hear noise from the adjoining gardens so do bear this in mind if your dog is reactive but there will be no chance of escape and lots of chances of running and sniffing! Nothing can be seen from within the garden. If your dogs love the beach, this is the house for them!

  • Stones Throw is a non smoking property.
  • Electric car, bike or scooter/wheelchair charging is NOT available at this property.
  • Guests can arrange hot tub hire via Norfolk Spa and Leisure
  • All major supermarkets deliver here.  Please make sure you are here to receive delivery.
  • Dogs are welcome to join you on the beds.
  • We would prefer that your dogs are not left alone in the property unless you are 100% confident that they will not get stressed.  If they are crate trained and you would like to use a crate, please do ask us. We know how bulky they are to pack!

Accessibility

Parking is right outside the house but is on gravel.  The gravel continues to a concrete sloped path leading to the front door.  The dining and lounge area are open plan so plenty of space for moving around and the floors are solid with rugs. The bathroom has a bath with grab rails and a shower over.

“Thank you for providing a lovely home from home. It was a fantastic bonus to be able to walk the dogs almost directly on to the beach. Location couldn’t have been better. Thanks also for providing a crate so we didn’t have to bring our own. I expect we’ll return again” – Jason and Donna, Jan 26

“The bungalow was really nice, very clean and with comfy beds. The beach is only a short walk away, and there was always beach there even at high tide. The dogs really loved it. Lovely walks in the area , Bacton Woods and the Weavers Way being two of them.” – Anne, Nov 2025

“Wow! Thank you, so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. It is one of the cleanest homes we have stayed in and it smelled amazing! The beach is beautiful, our cockerpoo loved it, as he did Bacton woods, which we visited most mornings. We’d like to come back again this year, as it’s been one of the best holidays we have had in recent times.” – Mel, July ’25

“We have enjoyed a lovely, peaceful, relaxing holiday, surrounded by comfortable furnishings and very pleasant scenery. Our dog loved the beach for exercise and between the Poachers Pocket, Watsons and The Oriental Garden, we were well fed. I can’t imagine you will ever be short on bookings at this ideal property.” – Jackie, June ’25

“A last-minute decision to have a break and we struck lucky with Stones Throw. It was quiet, spotlessly clean, spacious, with everything we needed. The enclosed garden was very much appreciated for the Yorkshire Terrier! Despite the weather change, we still got out for walks and had a lovely time. A birthday celebrated, we are relaxed and content.” – Elaine, May ’25

Stones Throw is a wonderful, warm and welcoming home from home. The location is just superb, with the beach for the dogs, just minutes away. Good food and service at the Poachers Pocket. Even when the weather was at its worst, we were all cosy and happy. Thank you for a most relaxing and comfortable stay.” – Pauline, Jan ’25

“A very clean and comfortable cottage, minutes from the beach, where you can walk for hours. We were so lucky to see many seals swimming along. It was so quiet here you could hear a pin drop. The welcome cake was a real treat.  A small walk on the beach takes you to the Kingfisher Café and Fish Bar. In the other direction, Watson’s for coffee, exceptional cake and sandwiches. Already thinking about a return visit.” – David, Nov ’24
