1 / 16Turnstone Cottage
Great Walsingham, Norfolk
A two bedroom cottage for four at Great Walsingham in Norfolk, with an enclosed garden, a wood burner and two dogs welcome, a short walk from where you leave the car.
The car does not come to the door. You leave it on a grassy area a short walk off, when there is room on it, and finish the arrival on foot. For two dogs that have just done a motorway that is the right order of events. Turnstone Cottage holds four in two bedrooms at Great Walsingham in Norfolk, dog friendly, one wood burner and a pair of dogs.
The enclosed ground is the garden at the back, and that is where the lead comes off. Between the car and the front door there is village to cross, so the lead stays on for that, which is a small thing to trade for two dogs and a fenced garden at the end of it.
Inside, the lounge takes a wood burner and enough seating for four, and the kitchen has one side of the room with a table at the end of it. A lobby sits between the house and the rear garden, which is the small room every dog owner wants and few cottages have: somewhere for the wet things to stop before the carpet starts. The stairs up are steep, worth knowing before the first night, and above them a double and a twin sharing one family bathroom.
Little Walsingham stands next along, the pilgrim village, with the shrine in it and a run of medieval timber-framed buildings either side of the street. Great Walsingham keeps the quieter half of that: a farm shop, a pub and lanes that empty out within a hundred yards. Two dogs get an old village at one end of the walk and open Norfolk at the other.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Turnstone Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Turnstone Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. It has an enclosed rear garden where dogs can run off lead, and a lobby between the house and garden — just the kind of practical space that makes life easier when you're travelling with muddy dogs.
Are dogs allowed at Turnstone Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's best to check directly with the owner when booking to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that the cottage is set up with dogs genuinely in mind, with the fenced garden and lobby making it a practical choice whatever the season.
What should I know before visiting Turnstone Cottage with my dog?
A couple of things are worth knowing ahead of arrival. You park on a grassy area a short walk from the cottage, so you'll cross a stretch of village on lead before reaching the front door — not a hardship, but good to be prepared for. The rear garden is enclosed and that's where the lead comes off, and there's a lobby between the garden and the main living space to keep wet dogs and wet kit from reaching the carpet.
