1 / 23Rose Cottage Wighton
Wighton, Norfolk
An eighteenth century cottage for four at Wighton in north Norfolk, with a small enclosed garden behind, a larger open one in front, a wood burner and two dogs welcome.
The railway that passes this village is a miniature one, running between Wells and Walsingham along the trackbed the old branch line left behind, and it is the sort of thing a dog watches with real suspicion. Rose Cottage is dog friendly at Wighton in north Norfolk, four across two bedrooms, two bathrooms between them, a burner in the lounge and two dogs on the booking.
You come in to the lounge, beams overhead and the burner in it. The dining room beyond keeps its original floorboards and seats six, which in a house sleeping four means nobody eats standing up, and the galley kitchen runs off the back of it. Above, the double keeps a shower room to itself, the twin has the long view, and the family bathroom serves both. Two dogs get the ground floor and the door at the end of it.
The small garden behind is the fenced one, mostly paved with a patch of lawn and the furniture on it, looking over the village playing field, so two dogs have somebody else's football to supervise. The bigger garden is at the front, seating on it and no fence round it, which is why the small one behind is the one that matters here.
Wighton keeps a green, a church and a handful of flint and brick houses a few miles back from the coast, and what leaves the door is field path and lane through arable country with very little on it. North of the village the land runs out into creek, marsh and a great deal of sand. Two dogs get quiet lanes at the gate and a tideline when somebody says so.

Is Rose Cottage Wighton dog friendly?
Yes, Rose Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. They have the run of the ground floor and access to the small enclosed garden at the back of the house, which is fenced and looks out over the village playing field.
Are dogs allowed at Rose Cottage Wighton 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 surrounding north Norfolk countryside — quiet lanes, field paths, creeks, marsh and sandy coastline — makes it a genuinely good base for dogs in any season.
What should I know before visiting Rose Cottage Wighton with my dog?
The property accepts two dogs, and they're set up on the ground floor with access to the rear garden, which is the one that matters — it's enclosed and fenced, unlike the larger front garden which has no fence around it. From the door you have quiet lanes and field paths through arable countryside, with coast, creek and sand to the north when you're ready for a longer outing.
