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.

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.

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.

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.

The Carpenters Shop was a great find. So well equipped and such a nice place for our dogs. They loved the paddock and exploring the long grass.

Spacious and well equipped house decorated to the highest standard. Huge paddock for the dog to run off lead. Centrally located. We have never stayed anywhere better. Absolutely brilliant. Thoroughly recommend. We will be going back.

Our family of 4 adults plus 2 dogs had an excellent few days. This was our third visit to the house. Beautiful sunshine for 4 days.🌞 Everything you could possibly need in the house. 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.

We have just returned from The Carpenters Shop and have already booked to return next year. It is beautifully laid out, comfortable and equipped with everything you could need. The garden is spacious and the paddock is a lovely space to use when you just want a play with the dogs or maybe some search games or training. There are several lovely beaches nearby, Winterton was our favourite. Tacons farm shop has lovely fresh veg, meat, cheese, homemade pies, bread and cakes. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Nippy Chippy food van serves from the car park opposite. Food can be pre ordered and is freshly cooked. If your dogs are people reactive, the bungalow next door overlooks the garden, but the occupants are friendly. A busy road runs past it but once inside, it doesn't cause a disturbance.
We can't wait to go back next year.

Carpenters Shop is just the nicest property. On arrival immaculately clean and tidy, everything we could possibly need right on hand. Top of the range cooking facilities, Ninja included! The upside down living was perfect and the lift to get food supplies upstairs on arrival was welcomed and loved by the 12 year old in our party. Parking a doddle and access to the garden spot on. Great location for exploring this part of Norfolk, well furnished with nice shops and pubs nearby. The 2.5 acre orchard/paddock was the highlight for us and our 13 dogs - so nice to be able to use this as well as our daily walks and ensure they had as good a holiday as we humans did. One of the very few holiday homes I've stayed in that I'd love to live in forever - was sad to leave and hope to be back. Don't hesitate on booking this fabulous, quirky, well set out and thoughtful property.

We booked to stay at the Carpenter Shop as the ‘parents’ of 3 dogs - 1 being very reactive - as the property comes with a private 2 and a half acre paddock. This did prove to be a winner! Internally, the house has an upstairs and a downstairs sitting room, which is great if your nervous dogs don’t like spiral staircases or lifts (as ours didn’t!). There were a lot of thoughtful touches - especially the very well equipped kitchen with salt & pepper grinder, cling film, foil, etc … it’s the little things! The gorgeous Winterton-on-Sea is close by for dog walks (thankfully the seals were in the sea and not on the beach!) and the local pub - The Kings Arms - was fantastic (more restaurant than pub). Overall, a great stay.

We had a lovely fortnight at this family home. A lovely relaxing feel. Clean and everything you need whilst there. Dogs are not forgotten with beds and bowls for them. Throws for furniture. The garden is a lovely size. We only used the paddock after we checked for cats etc. Everything felt like it was 15-25 mins away such a great location to visit so many places. We loved going to the beach at Winterton each morning. If you’re looking to visit Norfolk I can highly recommend this lovely house. Information and correspondence was excellent also.

We had a lovely week at Capenters shop. The property is very well equipped and was clean, a nice touch was the welcome box, enjoyed! Dog friendly with multiple dog beds, throws for the furniture, water bowel, towels and some treats. Lovely garden and paddock, we didn't use the paddock much as our 2 labs spotted multiple cats in there...say no more. The area is lovely and within easy reach of multiple dog friendly beaches. We also visited Felbrigg Hall abd Sherringham park, Horsey windpump and walked some of the weavers way. Wouldn't hesitate to come back.

We had booked this for my mums 80th birthday, and what a wonderful house it is. Very well equipped and the lift was a huge bonus for my mum and her two older dogs. The outside paddock was fabulous and enjoyed everything the house offered. The weather wasn’t kind but made the best of it. Beautiful village with a lovely feel. Norwich city was a real hit, lovely to see a thriving shopping area and almost no empty shops! Had everything including a fabulous market. The carpenter shop was perfect, thank you.

Stayed for a week at The Carpenter's shop - 4 adults and 2 greyhounds. The house was spotless and everything we could need was provided. The large dog beds were perfect for lazy greyhounds and they loved doing zoomies in the secure paddock. Some sunshine, wonderful food in the Kings Arms and days out at the beach made for a lovely holiday and we'd love to come back again next year!!

What a lovely and interesting property, spotlessly clean when we arrived too! :-) Loved the layout and the furniture and decor was all top quality. The garden was fantastic and a wonderfully well equipped kitchen. Our dog loved the numerous dog beds around the house, this was a lovely thoughtful touch. The biggest highlight for us was the attached paddock, which we used several times a day. The only improvement which could be made is to add some screening to the small area of the neighbours garden which boarders the paddock, if possible?!? The neighbour had 2 dogs and as our dog is reactive then we couldn't quite fully relax in the paddock in case the neighbours dogs were let out and may come close to the fence on their side. If there could be some screening just against that small piece of fence it would really great. :-) We have booked a return visit to the property and looking forward to it.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house (2 adults and 4 dogs). The lift was perfect as my oldest dog is disabled and can’t do stairs, he loved riding up and down to the lounge with me. The garden and field were perfect, the dogs enjoyed a lovely early morning and late evening play in the field and the older boy went round a couple of times at lunchtime too as he can’t manage hills and soft going. The pub food is awesome, but also check out the Filby Bridge Restaurant, a total hidden gem with amazing food. Lovely local beaches and we walked miles with the dogs. So much to see and do and a perfect base that is totally dog friendly to do it. Really friendly neighbours, and fully equipped for the dogs . Hope to be back one day.
