1 / 23Wagtail Cottage - Sheringham
Sheringham, Norfolk
A three bedroom cottage for six at Sheringham over three floors, with an enclosed garden looking out over common land, a wood burner and two dogs welcome.
The enclosed ground at this one lies in front of the cottage instead of behind it, and what it faces is open common rather than another fence. Wagtail Cottage is a dog friendly cottage at Sheringham, six sleeping over three floors, two bathrooms, a burner downstairs and two dogs on the booking. A second patio round the back takes the table and chairs.
That front garden is the fact worth having. Common ground begins where the boundary stops, protected land rather than a field that may be built on one day, so two dogs get something moving to watch from inside the garden, and the first walk of the day begins at the gate. It is enclosed, holds furniture and a small timber outbuilding, and the evening light comes across the whole of it.
The top of the house is the best part of it, a double up there that has its own shower room, about as near to a separate flat as a cottage this size gets. Below it a king and a room of bunks share the bathroom downstairs, so the stairs stay busy, and they are steep old ones two dogs will form an opinion of. A utility off the kitchen absorbs the washing, which after a week of sand is no small provision.
Sheringham's beach is half a mile away, sand at low water below a promenade and sea wall, the town behind it keeping a proper high street rather than a front full of amusements. The cliff path leaves eastward along the top, rising as it goes. Common at the gate, sand before breakfast and cliff in the afternoon: two dogs can have the whole day without anybody starting a car.

Are dogs allowed at Wagtail Cottage - Sheringham 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.
