6 Reasons to book a Norfolk Winter break

We think there are LOADS of reasons to book a dog friendly winter break with us, but here are the top 6 we think you should think about getting away in the cooler months.

Seals!

One of the most amazing things to be able to see at this time of the year are the Grey Seals in their pupping season - an incredible sight, watching 100s of seals on the beaches with their babies.  People come back year after year to watch this.  Do make sure dogs are kept on leads near the seals though.   Find out more on our blog about what you can see, when and where: Norfolk Seals

Empty Beaches

Norfolk offers 90 miles of joined up beaches which are pretty quiet all year round, but in winter it's not unusual to have the beach to yourself!  Winter also means you don't have to get up early to see an amazing sunrise, or stay up late to get a fantastic sunset.

Empty beach walks

Log burners and open fires

Is there anything better after a crisp winter walk than to pop into a local pub or go back to your cottage and enjoy the roaring fire - I bet your dogs would love it!
Corner Cottage and Badger's Retreat have two of the best fireplaces; Rooster Barn has a stunning one too.  Red Roofs has an open fire and there are many of our other dog friendly Norfolk cottages that are perfect for cosying up after a day of exploring with the dogs!

Short breaks and flexible stays

In the winter months many of our cottages offer short breaks and flexible stays.  So if there is a weather window that looks good and you want to get away just for a few days that suit you, now is the time.
Vineyard Cottage and 1 Paynes Cottage are very flexible on dates.  Pollywiggle and Bishy Barnaby too!

The weather

Norfolk is pretty amazing at this time of the year, boasting much better and steadier weather than the rest of the UK, and even the squalls blow over quickly.  Meaning that those dog walks on the beaches will be mostly dry (apart from the dogs getting wet paws!)

Christmas Markets!

There are a huge amount to choose from over the next few months, from traditional to Christmas Food Festivals, Vegan Festivals and more, take your pick! Grab yourself some fantastic local produce, or top up on Christmas presents. Norfolk Christmas Markets
