1 / 23Beechcroft
Horningtoft, Norfolk
A three bedroom bungalow for six at Horningtoft in Norfolk, with a fenced section of garden kept for dogs, a games room and two dogs welcome.
The owners have fenced part of the garden and left the rest of it open. Read that carefully, because it is not the usual arrangement: this is a large garden, and part of it has been enclosed specifically so that dogs can be let go there. The fenced part is the dogs' part. Everything past that line is garden you walk in with them on a lead. Beechcroft fills three bedrooms with six dog friendly at Horningtoft in Norfolk, two dogs.
It is a bungalow, so the hall you come into leads level to everything, with space in it for coats and shoes and somewhere to sit while you take them off. The lounge has two sofas arranged round the television, and the kitchen and diner beyond is the room the evening ends up in, dogs included.
The utility is the one the owners clearly thought about, washer and dryer both in it and a door through to the games room, and after an hour on the fenced section it is where a wet dog gets dealt with before anything soft. The games room keeps a pool table and a dartboard for the afternoons the weather makes the decision. There are three bedrooms, an en-suite and a bathroom besides, a cloakroom, and a freezer out in the garage.
Gressenhall stands a few miles off, a Georgian workhouse turned farm and workhouse museum with fields and woodland walks laid out round the buildings. Two dogs get somewhere with a story attached and a great deal of quiet arable in every other direction.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Beechcroft dog friendly?
Yes, Beechcroft welcomes up to two dogs. It's a single-storey bungalow, so there are no stairs to navigate, and the layout means dogs can move comfortably between the main living areas including the kitchen, diner and lounge.
Are dogs allowed at Beechcroft year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, so it's worth checking directly with the owners if you're planning a visit at a particular time of year. What is clear is that the property has been set up with dogs genuinely in mind, from the fenced garden section to the utility room for drying off wet dogs after a walk.
What should I know before visiting Beechcroft with my dog?
The garden arrangement is worth understanding before you arrive: part of it is fully fenced and reserved specifically for dogs to run freely, while the rest of the garden is open and dogs should be kept on a lead there. Inside, the utility room has a washer, dryer and direct access from the garden, making it the practical first stop after a muddy outing. The nearby Gressenhall farm and workhouse museum also has fields and woodland walks if you're looking for somewhere to explore with your dogs during your stay.
