1 / 24Ginger Rose
Harpley, Norfolk
A three bedroom house for six at Harpley in Norfolk, with enclosed gardens front and back, gated parking, a wood burner and two dogs welcome.
Start with the parking, because it is gated. Two spaces off the road behind a gate, an enclosed garden in front of the house and a second one behind it, and what that adds up to is an address with no open edge on it: a dog let out of the car is already inside something that shuts. Ginger Rose adds up to six across three bedrooms at Harpley in Norfolk, a dog friendly house taking two dogs.
The hall takes the boots, and past it the kitchen, lounge and dining run as one room. A breakfast bar takes one end and a six-seat table the other, French doors give straight out to the back garden, and the lounge looks at fields with a wood burner set among the seating. A shower room downstairs means two dogs never have to be walked up anything to get clean.
Three bedrooms sit above: a king at the front that gets the sunrise over the old mill, a second that is a king or a twin depending on what you ask for, and a bunk room kept for children under ten. The house is set for four adults and two children rather than six grown ones, a line to read before booking with another couple. A stairgate comes with it, which settles where a dog stops without anybody having to police it.
Houghton Hall stands in the next village, three miles off, a Palladian house with a walled garden, and deer on the parkland round it, which is the reason to go rather than the house. Harpley itself is a quiet street with a pub on it. Two dogs get parkland one day and empty lanes the rest of the week.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Ginger Rose dog friendly?
Yes, Ginger Rose welcomes up to two dogs. The property has been set up with dogs genuinely in mind — there's a gated driveway, enclosed gardens both front and back, and a downstairs shower room so muddy paws never need to go upstairs.
Are dogs allowed at Ginger Rose year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that the setup — enclosed gardens, gated parking, a wood burner for colder months — suits a dog-friendly stay at any time of year.
What should I know before visiting Ginger Rose with my dog?
The property takes a maximum of two dogs, so it's not the right fit if you're travelling with more. A stairgate is provided to keep dogs on the ground floor, which is also where the shower room sits — handy after a walk on the lanes around Harpley or a trip to the deer parkland at nearby Houghton Hall. If you're booking with another couple, it's worth noting the house is configured for four adults and two children rather than six adults.
