1 / 12Great Bircham Cottage
Great Bircham, Norfolk
A two bedroom barn conversion for four at Great Bircham in Norfolk, with a private enclosed garden, a wood burner, dogs downstairs and two dogs welcome.
The landing is a bed. A large sofa bed up there sleeps two more, which is how a two bedroom barn takes six, and it is also why the owners ask that dogs stay on the ground floor: upstairs is somebody's bedroom rather than spare space. Great Bircham Cottage takes four across two bedrooms and two more on the landing at Great Bircham in Norfolk, dog friendly, two dogs welcome.
The ground floor is arranged so the rule takes nothing away from a dog. You come into an open kitchen and lounge, the wood burner set in it with the sofas turned to face it, a separate dining room off to one side, and a family shower room down here with a corner cubicle and a heated towel rail on the wall. Two dogs, a burner and a towel rail in the same half of the house is most of a winter evening organised.
Outside, the garden is private, enclosed, and planted rather than merely laid, mature shrubs round the edges of it and a deck carrying the furniture and the barbecue. It looks over fields to the village beyond, and two dogs get the run of all of it. Upstairs the king keeps an en-suite shower room of its own and the second bedroom is a twin.
The lane in passes the working windmill at Great Bircham, which is a working one, and the country round it is arable and quiet with the coast a drive away rather than a walk. Two dogs get field edges and lanes from the door and sand when somebody feels like the car.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Great Bircham Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Great Bircham Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. There's a private enclosed garden for them to roam freely, a wood burner to settle beside in the evenings, and a heated towel rail in the ground floor shower room — handy after muddy walks. Field edges and country lanes are accessible straight from the door.
Are dogs allowed at Great Bircham Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions, and the setup feels very much like a place designed with year-round dog visits in mind. The wood burner, enclosed garden and ground floor shower room all point to a cottage that works just as well in winter as in summer.
What should I know before visiting Great Bircham Cottage with my dog?
The main thing to be aware of is that dogs are asked to stay on the ground floor — this is because the landing upstairs serves as a sleeping area for guests rather than spare space, so it's a practical and fair arrangement. The good news is the ground floor is well set up for dogs, with the open kitchen and lounge, wood burner and shower room all down there. You're welcome to bring two dogs.
