1 / 24Railway Cuttings
Briston, Norfolk
A four bedroom flint cottage for eight at Briston in Norfolk, with a large enclosed garden over open fields, two doors out to it and two dogs welcome.
The owners point out that there are foxgloves growing in the garden and ask that dogs and children be supervised out there, which is the sort of thing most owners never think to write down. Enclosure is not in question: the garden is a large one and fenced. Railway Cuttings lays out eight across four bedrooms at Briston in Norfolk, dog friendly accommodation with a pair of dogs allowed.
Inside, the ground floor is a run of rooms rather than one space. A snug with two big sofas comes first off the hall, the lounge is next with more seating and a fireplace, and the dining area beyond takes a table for eight with patio doors at the end. The kitchen is off the dining room, and a utility with the washer dryer and a WC completes a floor two dogs can cross end to end.
Two doors give onto that garden, one in the utility and one the patio doors, which for two dogs and eight people means the wet route and the civilised route are different routes. Upstairs are two kings, an en-suite shower room to one of them, plus a double and a twin that share the family bathroom. What the garden looks at is open field and woodland with nothing built in between.
Briston stands ten miles from the nearest beach, which on this coast is a long way inland and is why the house looks at farmland rather than water. The village has its shops and pubs and a good deal of flint in its walls, and the lanes leaving it cross arable country. Two dogs get a field path out of the village and a coast at the end of a proper drive.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Railway Cuttings dog friendly?
Yes, Railway Cuttings welcomes dogs — up to two are allowed. The house works well for them too, with a ground floor they can roam end to end and two separate doors out to the garden, handy for muddy paws after a walk.
Are dogs allowed at Railway Cuttings 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. Given the enclosed garden and dog-friendly setup throughout the house, it reads as a place that's genuinely geared up for dogs whenever you visit.
What should I know before visiting Railway Cuttings with my dog?
The garden is large and fully enclosed, which is reassuring, but the owners specifically flag that foxgloves are growing out there — worth bearing in mind if your dog is a determined grazer. The nearest beach is around ten miles away, so it's a proper drive rather than a stroll, though there is a field path accessible from the village for a quicker leg-stretch.
