The Old Piggery is one of the most dog-friendly cottages in Norfolk. The former farm building is now a comfortably stylish self-catering holiday home where up to six guests can sleep in comfort, or up to 16 people if you book the cottage together with the adjacent Running Hare Barn. There is no limit to the number of dogs who can stay, and no extra costs for taking your dog on holiday. The country-chic interior is the ideal foil for the expansive countryside views, and when you factor in the miles of dog-friendly beaches and footpaths in the vicinity, this is a family holiday that everyone can enjoy.
One of the reasons this cottage is perfect for a relaxing pet-friendly holiday is not only for its quiet location on the edge of East Ruston village but also because of the many footpaths that weave their way around the countryside, with little or no livestock to avoid. A gentle way to stretch your legs is along the circular route that leads beside the Dilham Canal and around Honing Common, or along part of the 56-mile long distance Weavers Way to Stalham and Brumstead Common. There are also pooch-approved walks around Bacton and Trunch woods, Happisburgh Common and Briggate.
It isn't just kids who love a trip to the seaside - dogs also love the opportunity to run and play on the sand. The water at Sea Palling is suitable for swimming and paddling, while Cart Gap is better for more timid dogs who do not like being around lots of other people or animals. Both of these beaches have restrictions between May and October, while Horsea and Waxham are no-go zones for dogs in the winter when scores of seals use the beach and dunes as a maternity ward and nursery for their pups. Winterton-on-Sea is dog-friendly all year round.
The Old Piggery is ideal for families and friends who want a fuss-free holiday in a beautiful location, and who do not want to sacrifice style and comfort for the sake of staying somewhere their dog is also welcome. The owners of The Old Piggery and Running Hare Barn have created a space where no compromise is necessary and where everyone can enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
