About the property

All about the inside:

Entry through the private courtyard straight into the

Open plan lounge/kitchen/diner
Karndean flooring throughout this very well fitted and stylish kitchen with an electric cooker with induction hob, dishwasher, Tassimo coffee machine, microwave and toaster. There’s a large smart TV in the lounge and free unlimited superfast Wi-Fi so you can access all your usual online viewing whilst chilling out on the comfortable sofa.

Kingsize bedroom
Very comfortable king size bed with wardrobe, chest of drawers and hair dryer.  Views across the fields.

En-suite shower room
Modern spacious shower room, with toilet, sink, shaver point and storage.

All about the outside:

Courtyard
The Peanut has its own large patio with outside seating, a grassed area which is fully enclosed with 3ft stock fencing and additional plastic-coated chicken wire for those small escape artists to one side, 3ft boarded fencing to the second side and 5ft solid wooden fencing to the third side.  There is direct access to the paddock from The Peanut’s patio garden. Peanut also has its own two-seater hot tub for the ultimate relaxing holiday.

Paddock
The paddock fencing is slightly higher than the courtyard, but not solid. There is wire stock fencing between the post and rail fencing. There are no passing dogs/people or car traffic. Guests have shared access to the paddock with The Walnut and Bumblebee Cottage, but only one property may have use at one time.

Will this property suit my dogs?


If your dog is a jumper then they may well be able to clear the wall around the courtyard but if they are not then this could be a perfect place for them!  The courtyard is walled and the paddock is fenced.  The parking area is gated too. There are two other dog friendly properties on this site; the parking area is shared as well as the paddock but paddock use is limited to one property at a time unless mutually agreed to share (quite fun if you have sociable dogs) . The owners have dogs but they are kept separate from The Peanut and they totally understand the need of their doggy guests.

Please note:


  • The Peanut is a non smoking property.

  • Bookings are from Saturday – Saturday with short breaks sometimes available out of season (Nov – Feb excluding school hols) if there is the availability

How to find us


The Peanut, Willow Tree Holidays, Lower Street, Happisburgh, NR12 0RS
What3Words location:  ///fountain.gives.hazelnuts

Directions

The Peanut is in the small hamlet of Happisburgh Common, approximately 1 mile from the coast.

From the A149 Stalham – Wroxham road, take the B1159 towards Bacton. Follow signs to Happisburgh. Just after East Ruston church on the brow of the hill, turn right down Vicarage Road and go past the internationally famous East Ruston Vicarage Gardens (well worth a visit!)  At the end of this road is a T junction, turn right here.   About 200 metres on your left, opposite the flint house turn down the drive.  Stay on the right hand side, going past cottages and then turn right through the 5 bar gate.  The Peanut is on your left, opposite the paddock and next to Bumblebee Cottage – clearly marked on the gates.
