1 / 21Malthouse Court 3
Thornham, Norfolk
A three bedroom house for six at Thornham on the north Norfolk coast, with an enclosed garden, a heated cabin standing in it and two dogs welcome, under a mile from the beach.
Thornham's beach is 0.8 miles from this door and every yard of that distance is marsh. You go out along a track between creek and reed, and by the time two dogs reach sand they have had the better half of the walk. Malthouse Court 3 is dog friendly at Thornham, six people over three bedrooms, an enclosed garden behind and two dogs allowed.
Standing in that garden is a heated and furnished cabin, which is a room out of doors rather than a shed, and it changes what the outside of a house is for. There is a table beside it and a barbecue, and enough ground round the pair of them that two dogs are not underfoot while somebody is cooking on it.
Indoors an open fire holds the lounge and a utility off the kitchen keeps the machines away from the cooking. Six sleep across three bedrooms served by two bathrooms with a WC downstairs, the largest room being en-suite and the other two sharing. Dogs come back off a marsh in a condition, and there is a whole ground floor here to deal with them on before anybody thinks about going up.
Thornham keeps a harbour that is really a creek, a few boats sitting in the mud when the tide is out and a channel winding away through the marsh to find the sea. The coast path runs through the village and goes east and west along the top of that marsh for however long anybody feels like keeping on. A dog gets level going, wide sky and salt in the air for miles of it, and hardly any of that shared with a road.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Malthouse Court 3 dog friendly?
Yes, Malthouse Court 3 welcomes up to two dogs. There's an enclosed garden for them to use safely, and the ground floor layout means you can sort out muddy paws after a walk before heading upstairs.
Are dogs allowed at Malthouse Court 3 year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that the north Norfolk coast is a rewarding destination for dogs in any season, with miles of coastal path and a beach less than a mile away.
What should I know before visiting Malthouse Court 3 with my dog?
The maximum is two dogs, so if you're travelling with more you'll need to look elsewhere. The beach at Thornham is 0.8 miles away along a track through the marsh, so expect your dogs to arrive at the sand already well exercised — and well muddy. The whole ground floor is available for dealing with them after a walk, which makes that part of the day considerably easier.
