The courtyard is lovely and the hot tub is the cherry on top! Will definitely return in the future. Brilliant location and fantastic hosts too! We had a lovely time with our two dogs, one of which can be very nervous, but he settled right in. Couldn’t ask for anything more, it was great! :) This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Jun 18, 2024 #### Beautiful, dog friendly property The cottage is very clean, well supplied with kitchen items and good quality furniture.

Apr 28, 2024 #### Perfect Peanut This is loveliest wee cottage for two people plus furry friends . It is situated in a quiet rural area with plenty of walks /beaches close by . Property has everything you would need and is beautifully decorated . The private enclosed garden and paddock were perfect for our feisty wee border terrier. ##### Ali M.

Mar 17, 2024 #### Sets the bar for all holiday lets The Peanut exceeded all our expectations- secure garden and surroundings for our dogs, thoughtful and stylish decor with super comfy sofa and bed, a well equipped kitchen and gorgeous shower. The Peanut was warm and cosy but also airy and surrounded by stunning countryside. The biggest treat was spending every evening listening to the birds while sitting in the hot tub. The owners are really lovely and welcoming and have clearly put their hearts and souls into their holiday lets. Best Norfolk holiday with the dogs in years and years ##### Fiona C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Apr 21, 2024 #### The best by far The Peanut was far the best cottage we have stayed in. We have been holidaying in Norfolk for almost 40 years several times a year. Paul and Stella were wonderful hosts. Our dog, Cav, loved the paddock and the long walks along the tracks. There were many excellent places to eat including The Poachers Pocket at Bacton, The Lighthouse at Walcott and Vera Café at A G Meales Garden Centre. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Apr 14, 2024 #### Beautiful Peanut is a beautifully presented cottage which has everything you need, including a lovely welcome pack and a great hot tub and dog paddock for morning zoomies. Walks from the doorstep, including to local cafe and pub, are great for dogs and hoomans alike. Thoroughly recommended, as is ERC generally - this was our fourth stay and we will be back. Thanks for the vouchers x This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan H. Feb 6, 2024 #### Wonderful stay for us and our dogs. Can’t think of anything that would have made our stay at the Peanut any better . Cosy , well thought out ( especially for the dogs ) , comfy and well equipped. The enclosed court yard and adjacent paddock were perfect for the dogs and took away any worries you sometimes have when on holiday with two big dogs. Great walk to the beach about two mile away ( with great dog friendly cafe ) and wonderful pub ( The Star ) about 20 mins. Our hosts made us feel so welcome and were very attentive. Great to find holiday accommodation so well thought out , we’ll be back. ##### Jonathan H.

Apr 10, 2024 #### Perfect Peanut We stayed at The Peanut as part of a family group, also booking The Walnut & The Bumblebee. The cottage has lovely views over the fields to Happisburgh Lighthouse. A secure garden with comfortable outdoor furniture and a hot tub. Perfect for listening to the birds & relaxing with a cuppa. The inside is beautifully decorated & furnished throughout. Lovely bathroom & shower with soft fluffy towels & robes. Fabulous properties in a great location. Would love to come back soon! ##### Katharine B.

This meant that we spent more time in than we normally would. Fortunately The Peanut is very comfortable and has a courtyard for our dog. The paddock is an excellent facility for dogs. Whilst we were there a hot tub was put in place which is very nice. An excellent place to stay, any couple with dogs would not be disappointed.

Beautiful cottages immaculate and clean everything is top quality from the kitchen, the bedrooms, bathrooms the patio area and hartman outdoor patio set then to top it off the high end hot tub was the icing on the cake!! So stunning in so many ways, the countryside walks on the doorstep were lovely and quiet for my reactive dogs. We were a mile or so from the beach, smallsticks cafe and the star at Lessingham with Tesco a 5 minute drive!! What more could you want from a break away beautiful peaceful countryside surroundings, high end luxury cottage and food and drink accessible. The hosts live on the grounds and are super helpful and lovely but not intrusive. The patio is a nice size and the paddock was lovely my 3 Mastiffs loved it and ran and rolled and played on the large grassed area just outside the side gate. It was perfect for me and my husband and our 3 dogues and with mum and dad next door in Bumblebee with their dog worked out the perfect solution for the dogs to have space and settle as well. ☆☆☆☆☆ 5 star for me all round .... would give 6 stars if there was the option!!!

Jul 2, 2024 #### Excellent holiday at The Peanut We had the most relaxing holiday at The Peanut. Everything single detail at the property had been so well thought out. The Peanut itself was spotlessly clean and so comfortable but also very dog friendly (dog bowls, throws, bed, treats etc all provided). The outside space is also great for dogs. The Peanut has a large patio and a small grassy area but with direct access to the shared paddock. Our dog can be reactive to other dogs but this wasn’t a problem at all. We could easily see if the paddock was being used or not. The location is great as it is situated in a lovely quiet rural area but only a 20 minute walk to the pub (The Star at Lessingham) and a 5 minute drive to the beach at Cart Gap and Smallsticks cafe. We would highly recommend The Peanut and will definitely be booking again. ##### Lee & Claire W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Feb 9, 2025 #### The Peanut, staying with two dogs Our first time in Norfolk. The Peanut is in a stunning spot. Great location. Lots of sandy beaches within 10 to 15 mins drive. There’s a very useful ‘secure’ paddock for your dogs but beware, if you have a jumper….. my setter had to stay on a longline as he would’ve easily cleared the height. Lovely and clean. Practical non slip flooring throughout and a wonderful welcome basket filled with all manner of goodies.

With a dog area which was well maintained. The owner were extremely welcoming and everything in the cottage was up to date and clean and comfortable. You are only a very short drive from a lovely beach and several beaches within a slightly longer drive. ##### Teresa Paddington This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent May 26, 2024 #### May holiday We had a nice relaxing stay at the peanut. Paul and Stella are very friendly and helpful hosts, the cottage is very well equipped and includes a lovely hot tub, the Star at Lessingham was a welcoming, dog friendly pub serving good food. Thank you to Paul and Stella for a great week, the dogs enjoyed their holiday too. The location is very good for access to nearby beaches and well suited for dog owners. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Mar 4, 2024 #### Fabulous short break The peanut is situated in a beautiful area, with lovely walks on the door step. Alternatively the location is a short drive to a plethora of dog friendly places to visit. The peanut is unique in the ability to offer a break to dog owners as they have really thought of what your pup requires. We have a lazy bulldog and the courtyard and the paddock for wet days was perfect . The owners were incredibly helpful and we look forward to returning soon.
