Reactive Dog Guide
Stable Cottage is situated in a residential but quiet area of North Walsham market town. All the cottages are off the residential road and contained in the grounds of Marshgate House.Once inside, you cannot see the residential road. Stable Cottage has a cottage garden (non grassed, cobbled) which is secured by a 5 foot wall one side (with entry gate), a 5 foot wall (with fencing above) on the facing side of the cottage and on the third side (left hand side of exiting the cottage) a 3.5 foot picket fence (at lowest point).This fenced section leads to the owner’s garden which is also secured by a 6 foot wall all around (including a closed exit gate) so if access was gained to this area, dogs are still secure. The exit gate from Stable Cottage leads to a shared (with The Dairy) outer parking courtyard. The outer courtyard is totally secure, with 9 foot locked gates leading to the road outside.The cottage garden is accessed directly from the open plan kitchen/dining/living room doors and dogs can be supervised/seen from all the downstairs windows in Stable Cottage. The wall shared with The Dairy has a courtyard garden on the other side and this means that you may hear dogs in the adjoining property on occasion. Please bear this in mind if you have a noise reactive dog.There is a quiet field walk to the side of the properties, but note, you may meet the occasional other dog walker. We have had no reports of bird scarers in this location but as it is residential you may hear other dogs bark on occasion. There are no passers by as the unit is self contained and cannot be seen.Parking is in the shared outer courtyard (shared with The Dairy) and once the outer 9 foot gates are closed, it is totally secure.
Accessibility guide
Stable Cottage has both bedrooms upstairs. There is one step into the dining / kitchen area. The stairs to the bedrooms are wide and straight but do check with me if you have mobility restrictions

Mr Nick Powell –
This was the first time staying at stable cottage with our 2 dogs and the first time using pack holidays, the cottage was lovely and well presented on arrival, situated in a lovely quiet area our 2 dogs enjoyed exploring the garden, we visited a few of the lovely beaches and very impressed on how clean they were, also had some lovely walks along the weavers way and the 2 local woods. The cottage met all our requirements and loved the welcoming touches highly recommend a stay and we would certainly use pack holidays again.
Dennis and Sally –
We stayed at Stable Cottage last week and were very impressed. It met all our needs and those of our 9 month old Labrador on his first holiday away from our home county. A crate was provided for him, along with a generous chill-out area for him, which he made regular use of. He made himself right at home, as did we. The owners, Simon and Felicity, along with Gail, were kindness itself. On what was to be our last day we had a family bereavement in the county and we requested another night’s stay. Not only did they agree, but refused to accept payment for the extra day. We were so touched. Highly recommended, and we would go back in an instant
Irena, Roy, Dawn, Nick and Dogs –
We had such a lovely stay, comfortable cottage and we all enjoyed watching the birds. The location of the cottage is a great base, near to the Broads and coast. Happisburgh beach was great and definitely our favourite – Max met a seal! We also went to the local garden centre which was lovely for scones and cakes.
Marianne, Tony, Eva and Alfie –
We had a fantastic stay, everything you need. Simon being on hand if you need any help was great. The Lighthouse Inn provides great food, with a very friendly landlord, well worth a visit. We are hoping to return and thank you so much for all the lovely arrival treats we got!
Jennifer and Peter, Millie and Basil –

Dorothy + Elizabeth –
We have had a fantastic few days days here, have come with our Collie chaos friends 6 adults and 13 dogs, 3 cottages. such fun and laughter, marvellous accommodation all we could possibly need for our comfort and all the dogs.
here in the stable we have Ellie and Misty and the others are staying close by. Misty just loves that she can look over the wall, balanced on a small brick to see Gem, Leo, Wiggey, Merlin, Danny and Cracker in the dairy. Then great excitement when Ruby, Bongle, Bradley, Meg and Jake arrive through the other gate. Breakfast and Dinner altogether what could be better
Karl and Louise + dogs –
Had a lovely few days here at Stable cottage, we have now stayed in all 3 of Simon and Felicity’s properties here. Found Stable to be very spacious and airy, equipped with everything you need for a relaxing break. The dogs loved the garden, plenty to explore and sniff, the weather was very hot so found Bacton woods and the beach at night the best for the dogs.
Thank you, will be back.
Kelly, Sue, Beryl, Maddie + Woody –
Had a lovely stay at “Stable Cottage”, 3 adults and a 15 year old and our dog Woody. Visited lots of lovely beaches, Cromer, Sheringham, Overstrand and Eccles-on-sea. Everything we needed inside the cottage.
Look forward to returning!

Sally, with Ozzie Nella & Ruby & Berni and Summer with Sandy –
Another fab Pack Holiday 🙂 The most comfortable beds EVER!!! We’ve managed to wear all 4 dogs out after trips to Wells, Bacton Woods and Cromer. Looking forward to visiting again to enjoy this peaceful cottage and it’s beautiful garden with lots of bird life, listening to their morning chorus. Thanks for a great few days
Helen & Greg –
We had such a warm welcome to Stable Cottage, North Walsham with Kettle crisps, the most delicious cookies and a pint of milk waiting for us (and some special biscuits for our doggy too!) The cottage had everything we needed for a week away at our home from home. Bath towels, a ‘Who Gives a Crap’ toilet and kitchen roll, cleaning products and antibac gel and even an eco egg if we wanted to do some washing. Our dog wasb’t left out either with a towel, bed, throws and most everything else he may need too!.
The cottage is an ideal central location to visit so many dog friendly attractions. We took our dog to:
– Redwings Horse Sanctuary in Aylsham
– A Broads 2 hour boat tour from Wroxham
– The Bure Valley steam train from Wroxham to Aylsham (and back)
– Mundesley beach (you can walk dogs along the prom and they can go on the beach at the end of the prom)
– Happisburgh beach (unrestricted for dogs but not a lot there apart from toilets)
– Cromer (dogs can be walked along the prom, on the pier and can go on the beach at the end of the prom)
– The Doggy Diner in Cromer which has a great fun menu for dogs as well as humans
– Bacton Woods which was lovely and shady on a very hot day
North Walsham itself is a lovely town to walk around and very dog friendly – We had a wonderful brunch at The Shambles with our dog and spent hours browsing the many charity shops, some of which were happy to have dogs too! Thank you for sharing this lovely cottage in this beautiful part of the country, for responding to our texts so quickly before and during our holidays and for recognising that dogs are a part of our family too!
P.S. our dog has never been given so many treats from so many people than he has this week!!!
David and Siobhan Dawson –
This is our first visit to Norfolk. We have loved this area so much that we have booked to return in September (before we left Stable Cottage). The cottage is beautiful and well furnished / maintained. The garden is the most beautiful, wildlife-friendly oasis. We have three very active Border Collies and they loved it!! Cottage owners Simon and Felicity are a wonderful pair of hosts
Anne & Graham, Bertie & Rupert 🐾 –
What a fabulous week we have had, beautiful cottage, fabulous weather, would come back in a heartbeat. It was made even more specialy by a daily visit from a female backbird with a broken wing (we called her Barbara. She came inside the cottage and we have some lovely photos. Please continue to give her scraps etc…
A VERY BIG THANK YOU!!!
Sue, Neil & Betty-Boo –
Dear Gail & All at Pack Holidays
We’ve had an absoloutely wonderful time staying here at Stable Cottage, North Walsham. Our dog loved the many walks we could do from here or just a short train ride away. So luxurious to have a washing machine and so much room. A great array of plates, pots and pans plus cutlery, everything was spot on!
The dog treats, dog bed, bowls plus human treats were such a lovely touch and very welcoming.
Thanks so very much!
Mike, Kora, Barney and Jem –
Thanks for the welcoming treats – dogs loved the biscuits. The weather is wonderful as is the location for all of North Norfolk. The bed is comfortable and extremely well equipped amenities (a sharp knife is the only thing missing but we understand why!) A truly wonderful outdoor space for us all to relax in, is a bonus. Thank you for everything. We recommend The Bluebell Inn, Bacton Woods, Southrepps Common Nature Reserves, Horsey Gap, Cart Gap – especially good for doggies. Pigneys Wood – very local and useful
Gemma and Phil Dore and Harry the greyhound –
This is our first holiday with our dog Harry: thank you for helping to make it a memorable one. We explored the local beaches, Harry particularly enjoyed Winterton and Sea Palling (had a doggie ice cream at Sea Palling too!) Bacton Woods was a favourite with us all and we recommend the walking trails / gardens at Felbrigg Hall (National Trust). We had drinks in the lovely garden at the Vernon Arms and enjoyed a gorgeous lunch at The Lighthouse Inn, Walcott. Thank you again for an enjoyable week. We look forward to booking another Pack Holiday soon
