"We had an amazing week at Red Roofs on Hickling Broad. Whilst the house can easily accommodate 8, we made use of the discount for smaller groups, which was perfect for our 2 humans, 2 big hounds family. We often find that holiday homes are either great for the humans, or great for the dogs. Rarely do we find places which are perfect for all of us. But Red Roofs cracked it. When we arrive at other holiday cottages one of us usually takes the dogs for a walk whilst the other dog proofs the accommodation (inappropriate rugs up, delicate things hidden, our vet beds down). No need for any of that at Red Roofs, you can just settled right in straight away. It is a stunning location and an amazing home. The huge back garden is fully secure so we could just leave the door open and let the dogs wander in and out. There is a dog entrance, complete with dog towels and a dog gate. The beautiful flower border has been fenced, so there was no need to worry about my big boy trampling the daffodils. Dog crates, beds, towels and sofa coverings are provided, so you really can relax safe in the knowledge that this is a truly ‘dog friendly’ accommodation provider. The best way I can describe it is to say it’s like going to stay with your favourite dog-mad Aunt… beautiful home, Victoria sponge waiting for your arrival, big comfy furniture – with all the lovely ornaments up high just out of tail reach. Dog throws for every sofa and washable rugs covering the carpet so you can all truly relax and wooden dog gates in case you want to stop your four legged family members from accessing certain areas. For the humans, Red Roofs is equally accommodating. The superking bed was super comfy. If I tell you there are 5 teapots to choose from, you’ll understand how well equipped the kitchen is. Logs and coal were available without additional cost, so we had a fire most evenings. Garden furniture meant breakfast on the patio. The bathroom has a shower and bath. The dining table would seat 8 easily and there are jigsaws in the cupboard (just as you would expect from your favourite Aunt!) I’ve not even mentioned the location yet. It’s on Hickling Broad… Across the track from the property and you’re on the water. There are easy dog walks from the property and a dog-friendly pub serving great food a short stroll away at The Pleasureboat Inn. It’s just down the road from the Norfolk Wildlife Trust reserve, and we heard cranes bugling from the back garden. We spent far longer than anticipated just relaxing at Red Roofs, playing with the dogs in the garden, playing board games on the kitchen table and reading by the fire. All in all, a brilliant week."

"Had a lovely stay here. The property is very comfortable, and has everything you need to relax. Julie was great with communication and very helpful. Its in a great location for exploring this part of Norfolk and is a 10 min drive to the beach. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if I was visiting this area again in the future."

"Very welcoming and it was perfect."

"Lovely pet friendly property. Great secure outdoor space for the dog. Lovely kitchen and living area."

"Such an amazing beautiful place staff are so friendly and welcoming breakfast was plentiful lots of choice and all fresh "

"The cottage is is in a lovely setting and very peaceful. The hot tub is a treat and well maintained and the living and dining area is a perfect size for six adults. The fishing on site was superb and very much appreciated. There was not really anything within in walking distance but was not a concern for us.The kitchen utensils could do with some maintenance and thought. It was difficult to cook for six people due to lack of utensils and cooking equipment. The bedrooms were a decent size but beds not the most comfortable and there was no where to put toiletries in the bathroom although there were plenty of room available. I would recommend for a long weekend."
