East Cottage, Waxham
East Cottage (which has been newly renovated for our lovely guests) is situated in the rear of the farm grounds, next to West Cottage (also a dog friendly holiday cottage). It is quiet, peaceful and very, very tranquil. A hot tub can be hired seperately here.
Waxham is a fabulously quiet and peaceful hamlet, with lots of wildlife, fresh air and opportunities to explore the outdoors. Sea Palling Cycle Hire is a short drive/walk away, with Horsey (and its famous Poppylands, Horsey Mill and Ross’ Wildlife Boat Trips) just along the road, and Sea Palling the other way, with its Blue Flag beach, dog friendly pub and cafe.
We have (of course) wonderful coastal path walking, there is a 1.7 mile private dog walk on site at Walnut Farm and some lovely bridle paths taking you towards the old Horsey Mill. There is also a NEW and very short walk to the beach direct from the cottage (5-10 mins to the dunes!!)

Reactive Dog Guide
East Cottage is a 3 star Reactive Friendly Pack Holidays cottage. Here are the reasons why, but also more importantly, what aspects of the cottage may not be suitable for your reactive. East Cottage is situated in a very quiet area, off the beaten track and at the rear of a non working farm / and live caravan site. There are touring caravans at the front of the site which cannot be seen from the cottages. The cottages are at the rear of the land and in a well protected, and quiet location. There are two static caravans on the other side of the garden fence however, these caravans can only be seen from an upstairs bedroom window.The fencing around the cottage is at least 5 feet high (and higher in some areas) with the whole lot being solid fencing and no gaps. There is a cottage next door (which is another holiday let) so will tend to have dogs. The fencing between the cottages is high but please be aware if you have very noise reactive dogs, you may wish to contact Gail to discuss any concerns. The cottage does not look into another oneParking is at the front of the property with access directly through the front door. The parking area is not fenced so please be aware of this.Please note that as this is a very rural location, there may be on occasion, the slight possibility of hearing a bird scarer. We have had no reports of bird scarers at any time in the past 2years, but given the location (and the possibility of crop rotation) we cannot rule it out for future.There are nice quiet walks around the locality including a private 1/5 mile walk around the land surrounding Walnut Farm. Please be aware there may be others using it too.

We had a lovely last minute stay in East Cottage. We found fabulous beaches, all within walking distance, and with an unpredictable dog, the fact there were so many deserted beaches came as a real blessing. The owner, Helen, said they are the same even in busier periods. The walk around the farm fields was great, we clocked it as almost 2 miles. Lovely hot tub, great to relax those tired muscles after so many walks. One happy dog too with all those walks! We were lucky with the weather and spent a couple afternoons relaxing in the garden, which is very dog friendly and fully secure. I would highly recommend Walnut Farm and East Cottage. A wonderful part of the world.

We had a lovely week, even though on the coolish side we still spent time in garden playing Scrabble!
Our girls loved visiting the beaches. East Cottage setting is so tranquil, its lovely. We had a scrummy welcome pack on our arrival, the doggos loved their Cheesy Bones! We made short work of the rolls, cake and bacon! Please pass on our thanks for this. The ‘girl’s will be back for another round next Fri with my daughter and her other half in West Cottage……might have to try and sneak myself in with the dog food lol.

We left this lovely cottage yesterday, it is a beautiful location, with all the beaches being dog friendly. My favourite beach was Horsey Gap where you can watch the seals. This is about a 2 minute drive from West Cottage. The cottage is lovely and very dog friendly, complete with dog tags for your poo bags in case they get lost. The pubs all allow dogs too!! Can’t recommend this enough!! Thank you Helen for letting us stay xx
