About this apartment rental

ALL ABOUT THE INSIDE:
Entry is through the front door into the well lit entrance lobby which has plenty of room for coats, boots and leads.

Lounge
Off the hallway is the large and well fitted lounge. Leather sofas give enough seating for 8 and the original brick fireplace is a great feature with an electric, realistic looking electric woodburner. Huge TV and solid wood tables. The view out onto the front courtyard. There is a fascinating heavy horse harness collar on the wall, reflecting the history of the farm and a perfect corner for a large dog crate if your dog needs one.

Games Room 1
On the other side of the stairs is the games room with pool table, dart board and a great selection of other board games. Also a smaller, safe dart board for children. Some lovely seaside art on the walls too.

Games Room 2
Through the lounge there is a door leading to the secondary games room. This includes table tennis, table football, darts and more!

Library
Sit quietly in here for a bit of peace and quiet, reading time or laptop time. A selection seating, books and tables. You are more than welcome to take the books and replace them with your own. There is a toilet and sink in a separate room just off this. Back through the games room and left into the …

Kitchen and breakfast/dining room
Very well fitted galley style kitchen with lots of storage. Large 50/50 fridge/freezer, washing machine, dish washer, tumble drier, electric oven and hob, microwave, toaster, kettle. The breakfast bar faces the open plan breakfast/dining area which is on the other side of the kitchen, allowing a lot of socialising in this area and helping the cook! There is enough dining seating for 8, with a TV to watch too if you want.

Large Master bedroom with ensuite shower room
This room has a king-size bed with an additional single bed too (ideal for parents and a young child). Wardrobe and dressing table with drawers plus bedside cabinets and lamps. Lovely views out of the windows to the front of the house.

King size bedroom
With views over the back garden and fields beyond, this room has a king size bed, a wardrobe and bedside cabinets.

Twin bedroom
With views over the back garden and fields, this room has twin beds, a wardrobe and bedside cabinets.

Separate bathroom and toilet in between these 2 bedrooms. The bathroom has an over the bath shower. The toilet is next door but separate.

Conservatory
At the back of the kitchen there is a small conservatory leading out to the garden. Fitted with blinds to reduce the heat if needed and fitted with a separate heater for the colder weather. There is also a fan for those really hot days.

ALL ABOUT THE OUTSIDE:
At the front, when you arrive, parking is off the road and outside the house with plenty of room for 4 cars on the gravelled area. This area is gated and walled, so once in, you can safely let your dogs out. Minimum height approx 4ft and small dogs might be able to squeeze through the gate. However, the back garden is FULLY secure.

At the side of the house there is another gate, leading into the garden. Solid, high and lockable from the garden side with a notice on it to let anyone who might visit (highly unlikely) that dogs could be loose in the garden. You can also access the garden through the conservatory. Near to the gate is a large enclosed dog washing area for the muddy or sandy paws (the dogs or yours!) with towels provided.

The garden is fully secure with solid, high fencing and walls. Nothing can be seen by dogs outside of the garden. Mostly laid to grass with some mature shrubs. There is a patio/seating area to the side of the house.

There is some basic agility equipment stored in garden boxes that you can use if you want to have a play with your dogs. Please note this is only basic and is to be used at your own / your dog’s risk.

We had a fantastic time here, will definitely be back. Beautiful house and they couldn’t have done more. Especially as we had massive problems at the end of the holiday. The welcome pack for people and dogs was amazing.

The farmhouse is a large, dog friendly house with two games rooms. We enjoy our time at the farmhouse this is our second visit we are a small family but this house gets us together and off phones and i pads. Playing Pool and darts are our main games and we have other family members who we visit when in Norfolk so they also come and enjoy the games rooms. When the farmhouse is full of people it’s large enough for everyone to find something to do or find a space for quiet chill out time or a chat.

I stayed with friends and 2 dogs at The Farmhouse at the end of January, and we really enjoyed our stay. Warm, comfortable house with an amazing choice of games/activities (including a pool table, which we loved!), and set in a great location - few minutes drive (or longer walk) to beaches plus lots of interesting walks across country from the door. The Farmhouse is in a very peaceful location, too. The garden is fully secure and a good size for dogs and humans! The dog shower was brilliant for hosing down the dogs after muddy walks, and having the conservatory as an entrance made it super easy with the dogs, too. We were greeted by Tim and Tricia, the owners, who gave a quick guided tour when we arrived which helped us settle in quickly. Lots of useful information / guides in the house, including a Yellow Dog tabard and lead we could borrow, which was really useful for one of my more anxious dogs. The welcome hamper was also incredibly generous, with eggs, milk, chocolate, snacks and homemade biscuits for the dogs. We would definitely recommend staying here!!

We stayed in The Farmhouse over new years. The games rooms are fantastic and were made good use of. Each of the bedrooms are great sizes and having 2 en suites was great. Lots of space for people to chill out in different areas if needed. Great garden space which I assume would be fabulous in the summer. Hosts were so lovely and helpful but not intrusive at all. The most generous welcome package ever!!! So good for the dogs from the beds and bowls to the toys and agility equipment.

We booked this wonderful Farmhouse for the Christmas week for a mixed generation family holiday and just couldn’t believe how magical it looked when we walked in with such a beautiful display of Christmas decorations. The various games rooms were a tremendous attraction for all the different age groups and indeed all the rooms in the house were very well equipped with everything anybody could possibly want. Tim and Tricia welcomed us warmly upon arrival to explain everything we might need and left us with the most incredible array of goodies for all to enjoy. Such lovely hosts. Of course our two dogs were extremely well looked after, with all the equipment provided for them, and the hot doggie shower was just wonderful. Can thoroughly recommend The Farmhouse.

We have visited on many occasions over the last few years and have never been disappointed beautiful in every season the hosts are always there if you need anything x we will be booking again for next year. My husband and grown up kids love all the games available and I enjoy the lovely peace and quiet. Thanks for having us again x

Fantastic place to stay with reactive dogs, Tim was very welcoming. Great location, out the way but not far from everything - beaches, shops, walks, historical houses. Amazing big welcome hamper and some lovely added touches like dog first aid kit, dog buggy, the dog shower outside was brilliant and the games rooms were a bit hit, especially as the weather wasn’t brilliant some days. Couple of things could be improved, the house was a bit damp in places, the showers have no pressure so two of the group ended up using the dog shower to wash their hair. One of the kingsize beds had a nail sticking out and think they’ve been broken in the past as held together with brackets/screws. It wasn’t the cleanest but not sure if the cleaning company just hadn’t had time to turn it around or had maybe forgotten to do things. Overall we enjoyed our week away and would definitely return if these things were improved.

This is a lovely big house that easy fitted in our 6 adults, 2 children and 2 infants. There are plenty of areas in the house to be able to not be on top of each other. Lovely south facing rear garden that is fully fenced ensuring our 2 dogs were able to roam free without fear of them escaping. The outdoor doggy shower was ideal for wet days after walking the dogs in nearby fields or bringing them back from the beach.
