1 / 24Ivy Cottage Ingoldisthorpe
Ingoldisthorpe, Norfolk
A three bedroom cottage for six at Ingoldisthorpe in Norfolk, with a ground floor twin, an enclosed garden up a few steps, a firepit and one dog welcome.
One dog here, where the two other cottages in this village take two. That narrows who it is for and it sharpens what it offers: a single animal gets an enclosed garden, a firepit to lie beside and a bedroom on the ground floor without sharing any of it. Ivy Cottage divides six across three bedrooms, dog friendly at Ingoldisthorpe in Norfolk, one dog only.
The twin is the downstairs room, off the ground floor along with a separate WC, so the dog can end the day level with the door it goes out of. The lounge is the room you walk into, wide and light with seating for everybody, and the kitchen and diner is through from it, seating six at one table.
A few steps lead up into the garden, which is worth knowing if the dog is old or short, and past them it is lawn and patio inside a fence, furniture out on it and the firepit at one side. The bathroom upstairs is the unusual one: a bath with a handheld shower and, standing separately, a walk-in shower, so a muddy animal and a person wanting a proper wash are not competing for the same corner. Two doubles share the floor with it. The house sleeps six but the owners cap it at four adults with two children.
Roydon Common opens four miles south, a National Nature Reserve of wet heath, mire and birch scrub with paths across it, and it is a landscape you will not find on the coast road at all. A dog gets heath one way and, on the days somebody drives, sand the other.

Is Ivy Cottage Ingoldisthorpe dog friendly?
Yes, Ivy Cottage welcomes one dog. It has an enclosed garden with a patio and firepit, and the ground floor twin bedroom means your dog can sleep on the same level as the door it uses to go outside.
Are dogs allowed at Ivy Cottage Ingoldisthorpe year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owners directly to confirm availability for your dates. What is clear is that the setup — enclosed garden, ground floor bedroom, and a separate upstairs bathroom for muddy rinses — is designed with a dog in mind throughout.
What should I know before visiting Ivy Cottage Ingoldisthorpe with my dog?
The cottage accepts one dog only, which is worth noting if you were hoping to bring more — two other cottages in the same village take two dogs, so it's worth checking those if you have multiple animals. The garden is accessed via a few steps, so if your dog is elderly or small that's useful to bear in mind. Nearby, Roydon Common National Nature Reserve is about four miles south and offers heathland walking that makes a good change from the coast.
