Lovely cottage in a fantastic area. Had everything we needed and the secure garden was huge. 5 minutes walk to the beach which was great for us and our dog.

Another fab stay.
Our second stay at the beautiful Dorny. The Welcome Packs for both humans and doggies were again excellent promoting local produce, which is a must for us.
Fabulous location, doggies enjoyed their daily beach walks - we couldn’t do the usual numerous miles due to our senior boy (13) and senior girl (11) but they loved it. Still remains our plan to retire to beautiful Norfolk one day!
My only negative is the road leading to the property has deteriorated since our previous stay,
Thank you for a great stay.

Fantastic stay!
It was the absolute best dog friendly, cleanest, most comfortable stay we’ve been to. Everything for dogs ( & Hoomans!) catered for. Great location with a very short walk to beach and secure gardens back and front. Lovely and quiet- just the waves to listen to. Thank you

So nice, we came twice
A return visit to the cleanest Holiday accommodation I have ever experienced. Located so near to the beach, and the large garden with high fences is a delight for the dogs. The entire property has been planned with dogs in mind relieving anxiety for their owners.

Relaxing short break
This was our second stay at delightful Dormy (the first having been to avoid fireworks). We love the great location, so close to the beach so not needing to necessarily use the car, but also not too far to travel for a day out. Cannot fault the accommodation - clean, well presented and equipped, comfortable, wonderful welcome pack, plenty of local information provided. Everything dogs and humans could possibly need to enjoy a chilled and relaxing holiday.

A great place to stay…
A great place to stay with dogs welcome. Dormy had everything we needed. Comfortable, warm and very well equipped. The access road is currently a bit challenging but I guess that’s not down to the property owners. Ample safe parking at the property. Being so near to a fabulous beach was for us a major advantage. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

A Wonderful Find
We stayed at Dormy for a week and wished it could have been longer. This is definitely one of the nicest dog friendly holiday homes we have stayed in. The accommodation was so comfortable, including the beds, very nicely decorated and everything was to a high standard and worked! The large garden was a big plus for the dogs too! We would definitely recommend a stay here.

Outstanding
Our holiday staying at Dormy was by far the best we’ve had. Dormy is an exceptional property, perfectly clean, well equipped, in a fantastic location so so close to a very peaceful beach. Dormy was extremely dog friendly, and with our dogs feeling right at home, allowed everywhere and supplied with lovely throws and beds and a lovely basket of goodies for the dogs and humans. The gardens were completely enclosed and safe. We have booked to return next year.

Hotel quality dog friendly home at the sea
We have stayed in this part of Norfolk before and love the area but it was our first time at Dormy. We were impressed with all the facilities in the cottage, comfy beds, very fluffy towels, all mod cons in the kitchen and a large comfy sofa that we could all fit on and relax. Everything was spotlessly clean and there’s a dish washer so no one has to wash up on holiday. You can hear the sea and the view out the front is lovely too, we enjoyed watching the large skeins of Pink-footed Geese every morning and small murmurations of Starlings too. We saw deer in the dunes at the back too, lovely to be surrounded by wildlife. The garden is large and secure so our dogs enjoyed exploring that too. We all felt very at home by the end of our stay and would love to visit again next year.

Peaceful, relaxing dog friendly cottage
The cottage was super clean, warm and well equipped. The beds were really comfy and there was an amazing welcome hamper for us with treats for our dog too! The whole cottage was really geared towards our dog which made our whole stay so much more relaxing. And the walks on the beach were literally a 2 minute walk away - and we were often joined on our walks by seals bobbing along in the waves. I highly recommend Dormy!

A great place for dogs
A great place for a holiday with our dog , everything was catered for even treats for Dexter and a welcome pack for us which was amazing, the bungalow was clean , spacious and the gardens were brilliant and safe to let the dog out.
If you can't walk very far you do need a car to get you to places , the little cafe around the corner didn't open when we were there which was a shame as it comes highly recommended

Amazing Dormy!
We absolutely loved our stay at Dormy. The property is homely, cosy, light and airy. It was spotlessly clean, Dormy is really well equipped and beautifully furnished to a high standard. We received an amazing welcome pack for us and the dogs. Lovely rural views from the front of the property and can hear the sea from the back garden. A couple of minutes walk to the beach. Wonderful location and perfect for the dogs with a nice large, secure back garden.

The perfect place!
Second time at Dormy. Such a bright, sunny and spacious place. The back garden is great too - totally enclosed and big grassy area so dogs are safe and secure to play and run around.
Just a 2 min walk to the sandy track leading to the super beach. The best bit… loved being able to hear the waves from the back garden.

Everything a dog could need
Best feature are the well fenced front and back gardens with high fences. Then walk a few yards along the lane to the path over the dunes and onto the dog friendly, Sandy beach. The wooden shed contains all sorts of useful dog items such as crates, mattresses etc. Then, for the humans, lovely comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, and comfy sofa with throws allowing dogs on the sofa. We have stayed three years in succession. Ned we say any more!

Amazing place to stay ✨️
We had the most amazing couple of days in Dormy with our teenage children and our pooch.
The place has absolutely everything you could wish for, a real home from home.
Furnished to a high standard, equipped with all that you and your dog could need. Made our first holiday with our dog stress free.
The welcome pack was amazingly generous and so lovely to eat local produce.
Lots of beautiful walks straight from the property and also local amenities all super friendly.
5 star property, we can't wait to return.

Stay at Dormsy
Accommodation was clean & very comfortable. Everything that you needed was there especially for our dogs. Very well equipped. Lovely little food hamper when we arrived with lots of gorgeous goodies.
Wonderful location, so close to beach. Best dog friendly cottage that we have stayed in.
Only downside was the extremely bad potholes in the lane.

Great facilities, really dog friendly with big secure garden.
Had a very enjoyable stay at Dormy. The location is great for the beach which is excellent for our very energetic working cocker spaniel. Facilities within the bungalow were very good, the air fryer and the coffee machine were a great bonus, so much so that we bought the same model coffee machine when we got home. Fabulous welcome pack( with artisan dog treats) and a secure gardens for the hound. The whole accommodation is really dog friendly We also had the bonus of sunny weather.
We had a great holiday. Thank you.
