1 / 24Meadowside
West Runton, Norfolk
A four bedroom house for eight at West Runton, five star, with an enclosed garden holding a hot tub, a ground floor shower room and three dogs welcome, a mile from the beach.
Meadowside takes three dogs, which on this stretch of the north Norfolk coast is a number very few houses of any size will go to. Dog friendly, it sleeps eight at West Runton and carries five stars, four bedrooms, three shower and bath rooms, and an enclosed garden with a tub standing out on it. The owners keep stairgates and will put them out, which tells you what sort of household they had in mind.
Four bedrooms and three of them kings, the fourth splitting into twins, so this is four couples or a family that has grown up rather than a house full of children. One of the shower rooms sits at ground level. That single fact does most of the work with three dogs in a building, because the wet ones can be dealt with downstairs while everybody else carries on with the evening upstairs.
There is a pool table and a table tennis table for the hours nobody wants to be outdoors, an Everhot range in the kitchen, and a utility room with a tumble dryer to absorb what three dogs bring in off a beach. The garden is enclosed, the tub is in it, and by the end of a week the lawn belongs to the animals and everybody has accepted it.
The beach is a mile off, sand under low crumbling cliffs, and those cliffs are why anybody outside Norfolk has heard of the village: the most complete steppe mammoth skeleton ever found in Britain came out of them, and the cliff still sheds fossils. Inland the Felbrigg Hall estate opens its parkland and woods, which is where three dogs get the best long walk within a short drive of the door.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Meadowside dog friendly?
Meadowside welcomes up to three dogs, which is a notably generous allowance for a holiday house on this stretch of the north Norfolk coast. The property has been genuinely set up with dogs in mind — there's an enclosed garden, a ground floor shower room for rinsing muddy paws, a utility room with a tumble dryer for damp gear, and stairgates available if you need them.
Are dogs allowed at Meadowside year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the property details suggests otherwise. If you want to confirm availability for a specific time of year, it's worth checking directly with the owners when you book.
What should I know before visiting Meadowside with my dog?
The practical setup here is unusually well thought through for three dogs — the enclosed garden means you're not worrying about escapes, and the ground floor shower room is the key detail, letting you deal with wet or sandy dogs downstairs while the rest of the party gets on with the evening. The beach is a mile away, and for longer walks the Felbrigg Hall parkland and woods are a short drive and well worth the trip with bigger dogs.
