Keymer Cottage, Salthouse, North Norfolk by Craig Atton

In a county where dogs are better catered for than their owners, Keymer Cottage on the North Norfolk coast is a haven for both. The dogs get their own room with sofa and a lookout window to the sea along with a fantastic garden, stocked with multiple fruit trees. The humans have a choice of 3 bedrooms, a well equipped living area, that wonderful fully enclosed garden (if the dogs will share it with you) with barbecue and furniture to take advantage of the clean unpolluted air day and night - the stars on a clear night are mesmerising! There are multiple walks both coastal and inland directly from the front door, which sees you directly onto the coast road, salt marshes and then the beach/sea. If you want to go further afield there are so many choices along this stretch of coast. However, you could quite happily spend days at a time not leaving this lovely cottage - the views of the church, sea and many many birds who make the marshes their home are a joy in themselves. Within a quick walk are a local store/newsagent, Cookies Crab Shack and a fantastic local pub the Dun Cow serving delicious meals from mostly local produce (including the beef, which grazes on the salt marsh opposite). We have stayed at Keymer Cottage 6 times in the last couple of years and we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else but here - and neither would Morph, Izzie and Phoebe our four legged holiday companions each time! If you are looking for a dog friendly base from which to explore this wonderful part of the world from, Keymer Cottage would be hard to beat.
