Saretta is a charming cottage, all on one level, in the centre of pretty Sea Palling village, just a 10 minute walk to the gorgeous Blue Flag beach. It is perfect for families, those seeking a more accessible cottage and has a private and secure garden for safe play

Saretta has a lovely secure garden, private parking and is a few minutes walk from that beautiful dog friendly beach. As it is all on one level, it is very accessible. It is a perfect, all year-round base from which to explore the Norfolk coast, countryside and Broads.
It is set well back on the residential street and it is just a 200 metre walk to the beach.
The dunes and coastline from Sea Palling to Winterton are officially designated ‘Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and it is an ideal place for walking, cycling, bird watching, fishing, water sports and, of course, seal-spotting.

Reactive Dog Guide
Saretta is situated on Beach Road (the main road in Sea Palling leading to the beach). There is more passing traffic in peak season.The garden is mostly to the rear (grassed) and has a 5 feet fence all the way around, apart from the front which is a 3 feet wall. Once the garden gate is closed the garden is secured (for non jumpers). There is a 3 feet high gate at the side of the property to secure dogs in the rear garden if required.There may be a number of passers-by at the front of the cottage as this road is the main access route to the beach. The driveway leading to Saretta has shared access and may have some footfall (but minimal). Saretta is set well back from the road so is quiet.

Anne Meredith –
What a fantastic base Saretta is from which to explore this beautiful part of Norfolk – amazing beaches, the Broads on the doorstep, lovely places to eat and such friendly and welcoming people! We loved being at Saretta – everything has been thought of to ensure that both humans and dogs are comfortable and happy. And Gail is such a responsive and helpful person if there is any issue whatsoever – eg she had a plumber at the house within 24 hours to fix a radiator, and went out of her way to ensure that everything was perfect. Our nervous greyhound loved the gardens and had a wonderful time exploring the huge, almost empty beaches in the October sunshine. Huge thanks! We will definitely be coming back!
Lesley –
Second time here and still a peaceful relaxing stay. Cola loved the beach
New owners of the local chippy now serving lobster on Fridays was amazing, bigger than at Hirst, which which we love and dog friendly (Dabs and Crabs)
Always spotless accommodation, sad to be leaving, already booking again for 2025
Well done Pack team and owners, thank you
Roy and Karen, Skye and Shannon –
Third visit to Saretta and enjoyed another stay at this idea cottage
Shannon had a wonderful time on the beach, Skye just lazed about (typical ex racer)
We hope to come again. The Greyhound Pub at Hickling serves very good food and of course, is very dog friendly

Our third stay now at Saretta. All was fabulous again! Beautiful house, has everything need! Doggies had a fab time. Welcome pack was enjoyed by all. Lobster and crab and chips – wonderful.

Carol and June –
Another great visit (3rd) Welcome pack was much appreciated,. Very dog friendly home from home, clean and well stocked
Christine Bailey –
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Saretta, despite dreadful weather! Comfortable, well-equipped bungalow just a few minutes from the glorious beach. It was a real joy to know that throws would be provided for the furniture, as they are so bulky to pack. Also provided are dog towels and bowls. All mod cons for the humans too. Nice secure garden, I can imagine the little conservatory would be really snug on a warm day too. We enjoyed the local beaches and NT estates for walks, and can recommend a trip out on the water with Ross’ Wildlife Tours – dogs are welcome- would be better without the drenching, but hey ho!
Barbara and Mike –
This is the fifth time we have been to Saretta over the last three years. It is like coming home – we love it so much. Pippa is very reluctant to leave and we have had to make her get into the car. She loves the beach too.
Christina and Scott, Wookie Kora Norman and Maggie –
Saretta is in a perfect location for lovely beach walks with the dogs.
It is clean and spacious with everything we needed. The dogs loved the large garden and it was so quiet and peaceful
We visited Cromer and Mundesley and enjoyed fish and chips from Sea Palling chippy and evenings at the arcades
Everywhere is so dog friendly – It was Koras first Pack Holiday (9 year old rscue) and she has made herself at home at Saretta. Thank you
Deborah, David and Bonnie and Audrey –
We have had a lovely relaxing week, despite the breezy weather – very bracing on the beach!
We have been very comfortable, conservatory was lovely and warm during the day and the dogs can come and go in the garden
We enjoyed a chippy tea from the Mermaids Catch (the cauliflower wings a nice veggie option). Had donuts and doggy ice cream from Sandy Hills. Lovely fresh asparagus and eggs from the farm shop and cakes from the local shop. Walked along the beach to Waxham and enjoyed a sandwich and halloumi bagette at Dunes Cafe

Loved it here! The layout of the bungalow is perfect! We have had a very relaxing week. The weather stayed dry and it’s been so peaceful. Love that there are no streetlights.
Stars are bright on a clear night
Every pub we have been to has been dog friendly, thank you for the dog treats and biscuits!
TJ, Jules, Flo and Leo –
A lovely peaceful short break for us at Saretta and the weather was perfect for some lovely walks, including the Sea Palling circular. Oasis Indian (Stalham) and Kingfisher Fish Bar (Walcott) are highly recommended – battered Quorn sausage and pea fritter for veggies!!
The Star Inn at Lessingham is a real gem for real ale!
Thank you Pack Holidays for another dog friendly holiday 🙂 🙂

Barbara and Mike –
We had a wonderful holiday again at Saretta at Sea Palling. It did not rain but the wind was a little keen but it was everywhere else too. It did not stop us from walking miles a long the beach. Beautiful sand with the odd pebble which made it very interesting. Our son and young grandson stayed for a long weekend and we had a great time honing our skills with sand castles and sea defences! Pippa our English springer spaniel had a wonderful time and she remembered from the year before as to where we were staying. Saretta is very well equipped, extremely clean and has a lovely secure garden. Not being far from the beach was a great benefit. The whole village is dog friendly and made us all welcome. We have booked again for next year
Mike Barbara and Pippa –
Our second visit
When we arrived, Pippa knew exactly where she was going and made herself at home. We love the bungalow and Sea Palling. The beaches and walks are great. We hope to come again next year. Highly recommended xxx
Sue Brittain –
Beautiful, well-equipped and comfortable bungalow with a fabulous garden for the dogs. We enjoyed many walks on perfect beaches nearby and also visited Bacton Woods for a change of scenery – well worth it. So nice to have everything – shop, pub, cafe – within walking distance. Thank you for a lovely stay – definitely highly recommended 😊

So impressed with Saretta. Roomy, cosy, very clean + well equipped. Love the cupboard handles + the cooker!!
All furniture very comfy and easy to snooze on :). Fish + chips were lovely from Reefs bar; Indian from Oasis in Stalham was excellent, especially the delivery!
Dogs were happy in the garden + on the beach. Thanks for the tote bags, they’ll be used a lot!
We may well return 🙂

Lovely bungalow, well equipped and a good size. Thought of everything, dog cages, dog tags etc. 3 min walk to a lovely beach, dog friendly. Bought local honey from next door and food at Reefs Bar very good. Even with 3 dogs the garden was secure.
Looking to book again next year!

Our second fantastic visit here. Happisburgh beach perfect for the daily walks with the dogs. High recommend a visit to Hill House in Happisburgh for a pub lunch and historical interest, plus the St Mary of the Virgin Church. Star Inn always good. Wroxham Launch Hire for a trip on the Broads. Overall a wonderful holiday,. Thanks once again Pack Holidays!! xx
Nancy, David and Rosa –
We’ve had a very relaxing and peaceful time at Saretta, which is very clean, comfy and really well equipped. Would recommend Ross’ Nature Boat Trip from Horsey Wind Pump, we saw herons, marsh harriers, cranes and so many dragonflies and butterflies. Also lovely long dog walks at Blickling Hall and Felbrigg Hall, both National Trust.
Sea Palling beach great for a swim but alot of dogs for our reactive gir at busy times. Really appreciate the welcome pack too, thank you!
Carol, Annie, James, Luke and Scout –
Lovely place in the best location, thank you! Chips at the shop are fab but be prepared to queue.

We had a lovely time, our 4 dogs absolutely loved the garden, the nearby beach, we saw seals in the sea at Horsey Gap, saw a Jubilee party for the Queens 70th going on at the nearby beach at Sea Palling, looked lots of fun for children, although the weather was mostly rain, on Tuesday we had a lovely sunny visit to Hickling Broad
Absolutely loved the real fire. Thank you so much for a lovely 4 days. Your home Saretta is beautiful. Would love to return. Such a comfy bed too!
Loved the Fabulous beach at Sea Palling too.
Katerina, Eric & Crunchy –
Homely, comfortable and clean cottage!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, as did our dog.
Visited Mundesley, Winterton-on-Sea and the Museum of the Broads (plus the tiny Firehouse Museum) and best of all was the boat trip (with the pooch) on the Broads!
Definitely coming back.
Loved the Fabulous beach at Sea Palling too.
