1 / 22Lackford Cottage
Strumpshaw, Norfolk
A one bedroom annexe for two at Strumpshaw in Norfolk, with a twin bedroom, an enclosed garden and two dogs welcome, half a mile from Strumpshaw Fen.
The bedroom is a twin. In an annexe built for two that is a decision, and it quietly changes who the place is for: two friends, or a parent and a grown child, rather than a couple, and two dogs come with it, which works out at one each. Lackford Cottage stops at two people and two dogs at Strumpshaw in Norfolk, a dog friendly annexe on the owners' ground.
It stands within those grounds, and the enclosed garden is the guests' own, a patio outside the lounge door opening onto fenced ground, a table and four chairs standing out on it for the dogs to walk round. The owners' land carries on beyond and is theirs, so the lead comes off inside the fence and goes on outside it, and the arrangement is stated rather than assumed.
Inside is one level and a single open room, the kitchen along one end, a sofa and a chair facing the television at the other, and a table for two between them, which is as far as either dog will ever have to travel. The twin bedroom and its en-suite shower room finish it. Close quarters by design for two people and two dogs, and a door straight out to the garden from the room everybody is in.
Strumpshaw Fen begins half a mile away, an RSPB reserve of reedbed, fen and marsh on the River Yare with trails and hides worked through it. Dogs go on the lead among the birds, which is the deal at every reserve like it. Two dogs get water and reed one way and quiet Broads-edge lanes the other.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Lackford Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Lackford Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. It's a self-contained annexe with an enclosed garden of its own, so your dogs can be off the lead within the fenced grounds without any fuss.
Are dogs allowed at Lackford Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the setup — an enclosed private garden, single-level living, and direct garden access from the main room — suggests it's designed with dogs in mind as a permanent feature rather than a concession.
What should I know before visiting Lackford Cottage with my dog?
The enclosed garden is yours to use freely, but the lead goes on once you step beyond the fence onto the owners' wider land — that's clearly stated rather than left to chance. Half a mile away, Strumpshaw Fen RSPB reserve offers walks through reedbed and fen, though dogs are on leads there among the birds, as you'd expect at any nature reserve.
