Excellent

This was our first stay at the carpenters shop and we was not disappointed, There was six Adults and Nine dogs and the the carpenters shop was excellent for our needs the dogs really enjoyed the paddock for extra space to run in and knowing it was secure and exclusive for us only was brilliant, inside the house was perfect it is a beautiful place and all the extra decor adds to its character the lift to the upper floor was welcome for one off our group who is recovering from a operation this cottage is by farone off the best we have been to .

Excellent for dogs, brilliant location

We had the most wonderful time, the paddock for the dogs was without doubt, the best we’ve ever come across especially as it was a ‘dog’ holiday. House and location was excellent and if you get a chance, try the Kings arms four houses down, one of the best reassurances for quality we’ve also come across for a long time. This is the first ever holiday home we’ve rebooked for. That says it all. Enjoy!

Lovely house.

Lovely house with a fully equipped kitchen. It would be good if a travel cot and highchair could be provided. Lovely garden however with the paddock left overgrown it's very difficult to see any wildlife, one of our dogs chased rabbits and a cat because you carnt see.

Brilliant for dogs

The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we could ever need. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, and the dog beds, throws and of course the paddock were great for the dogs. One suggestion would be an extra freezer in the utility room for raw food, but the kitchen freezer was sufficient. We were nice and close to several beaches and other attractions, so well situated too. We had a lovely holiday at Carpenters shop.

Perfect for us

Two women. Two dogs. Lovely safe location. One of the dogs didn’t like the stairs or lift but just stayed downstairs. We visited many local beaches. All amazing. The paddock at the bag was perfect for a some dog training and letting the dogs off lead to have a stretch. A big bonus.

Lovely place to stay

We had a lovely stay at The Carpenters Shop. Kitchen had everything you need even tea coffee & sugar & a welcome hamper ( including treats for the dogs). The extra throws & dog beds were a nice touch. The lift was great ( without this we would not of booked) & the private field at the back was great for the dogs! All in all a very nice place to stay.

A perfect get away

We came down for my birthday! 5 adults 6 dogs! Sounds like it should have been crazy but it was just heaven! The garden is plenty big enough and a gorgeous quiet setting! The paddock behind the garden is great for high energy dogs! The rooms were cosy and very comfortable! It’s a 2 minute walk from the pub in the village which serves great food! We can’t wait to come again!

Amazing

Absolutely amazing. By far the best cottage we have ever stayed at. Really good quality and everything you would ever need. A beautiful welcome pack for humans and dogs and very well decorated for Christmas. The large garden was brilliant and the additional 2 acre private paddock was definitely a massive bonus.

A perfect place to stay

Our stay at The Carpenters Shop was amazing. Although quirky with the upside down living it worked perfectly for a multi generation family holiday. The dogs (& humans!) loved the garden and the paddock was great fun too with the pathways cut through the long grass. Conveniently located for all that Norfolk has to offer together with the bonus of a pub a few doors down. The house had everything you needed (& more) including a welcome basket of local produce. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Great dog and child friendly stay

We had a fantastic stay at The Carpenters Shop, it was perfect for our 7 dogs and 4 year old child. The garden and paddock were a great space and we were very fortunate with the weather so got to make the most of these and the bbq too. All bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen facilities were fantastic and there was every utensils needed in the kitchen. Everywhere was furnished well and the layout is superb. We loved the quaint and unique use of carpentry and mechanical tools - it made it really authentic. Our only 2 downsides from a safety perspective were; the open drive way off such a busy road and we would recommend thermostatic valves or the boiler output to be lower as the hot water taps throughout the house were scoldingly hot. We would defiantly visit again, it provided a great location for exploring all the local broads and beaches and we’d highly recommend eating at the Kings Arms for top standard food! Many thanks for sharing your wonderful and super dog friendly accommodation!

Simply perfect

What an amazing place to stay. Light, airy, roomy, clean, and well- equipped. I could go on. We stayed with our 2 dogs and could not have felt more welcome and at home. The addition of a secure dog paddock was amazing, and all of the extra touches specifically for our dogs made the Carpenters shop, by far, the best dog friendly property we have ever stayed in. We will definitely be back and have already recommended it to all of our friends.

Multi generation holiday and 2 dogs

The house had everything we could wish for and the lift meant the house was accessible to all. The tasteful decorations nodded to the buildings history and gave a unique feel. The attached paddock was well kept with pathways cut into the long grass and the pet beds provided were a hit with our dogs. During our stay we had a minor issue which was dealt with quickly.

Very comfortable The paddock was fantastic for our reactive dog. He roamed about freely.. Lots of places to visit locally. The food at The Kings Arms nearby was excellent . Very friendly people

A fabulous short stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Carpenters Shop which is a beautiful property, quirky, with lovely nods to its past and would highly recommend it to others. We went with our two labs and our yorkie cross. The house is totally dog focused and so well equipped it has everything for your dogs comfort and the secure garden and paddock were perfect for their exercise and fun ( a proper dogs holiday as well as ours) . Our daughter and her partner joined us during our stay , we barbecued and went out to The Kings Arms which has amazing food. We felt the house catered for our every need and we had the best time. Can’t wait to go back !!!!

A beautiful house in a very convenient position for the coast and The Broads

This is our fourth stay at The Carpenter's Shop..It is such a lovely place to be. Everything we could possibly need is provided. We loved the new coffee machine with coffee pods. Our only problem is that there are no window coverings in the main room downstairs. One of our dogs is reactive and he barks at anything that moves in the garden. We have to bring large sheets of cardboard with us to put up along the bottom of the patio windows at night to prevent him seeing lots of pigeons pecking at the grass early in the morning. We do manage and I am not sure what you could put on such large windows to get around this.

Couldn't have asked for more!

Everything was 1st class from the dog crate provided to the fresh milk, coffee and tea in the welcome pack - very welcome after a 5 hour drive up from the West Country! We wanted to walk and we could get to all the furthest points of the county within 1.5 hours drive - so we were very centrally placed. The local eateries recommended were wonderful and the village walks provided, helped us to get our bearings on the 1st day. The accommodation was suitable for everyone and the paddock at the back with walkways cut through the orchard was lovely. We will tell everyone one we know to visit.
