It was comfortable and had everything we needed. The garden was amazing, our dogs were very spoilt. We had 5 adults and 2 dogs in the house and all had our own space.We used the fab bbq nearly every day. The broad is just across the road. You see so many different birds and boats going by. The village is lovely and you are in easy reach of boat yards and the coast. Also you can walk to two pubs! ##### Alison K.

Only suggestion is that the carpets are a little tired and could do with replacing to also remove rugs as trip hazards. That aside you will not regret hiring this cottage for your 2 and 4 legged family ##### Ian A.

This visit was our 9th.... All of our big family have stayed at one time or another. Jane and her team always prepare the house sooo very very well for visitors. And she herself is always full of kindness and joy if ever she pops in whilst we're there. We thank her for her continued attention to details for our comfort. And also a huge thank you to her for unloading and packing away our rather massive Waitrose grocery order on the Saturday morning before our arrival.

This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel T. 6 Feb 2024 #### A wonderful weekend break Red roofs was exactly what our party was looking for! A peaceful and comfortable place that allowed our dogs to stay too and with complete peace of mind of their security with the huge, enclosed garden. The rooms were warm and comfortable and the dining area big enough to accommodate all of us. The views of the surrounding water were wonderful. The local pub was in walking distance and staff there were very friendly and served great food. Only a short 10 minute drive to the beach provided us with a delightful walk along the coast. It was just a shame we only spent the weekend there as it would have been great to explore the Broads right on our doorstep. A return visit is a must! ##### Rachel T.

The house is large and was ideal for us as most bedrooms are downstairs. The upstairs bedroom was huge and great for my parents to have their own space away from the kids and dogs. It had a lovely seating area and bathroom up there too. Comfy lounge and a nice big dining room to all eat together. By far the best thing about the house is the garden, a huge back garden all enclosed which was fab for the dogs and kids, a big gas bbq too. And the front garden is large too, we sat out there in the evenings. We also used the rowing boat a few times, this is a great addition to the house. A lovely welcome too with cake, some local goodies and milk meant we arrived and instantly put our feet up in the garden after a long hot drive! Thanks for a fabulous holiday! ##### Kathryn M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah T. 10 Aug 2025 #### Perfect Family Home We chose Red Roofs because we needed a dog friendly home with four double bedrooms for a family holiday. Jane was fantastic in making sure the house was safe and ready for a toddler and a baby providing a larger travel cot and a baby chair. We arrived early while Jane was there and she was lovely, coming back to bring the baby chair. There was plenty of room for four couples to have a comfortable week and enough space to have time alone if needed. All the beds were incredibly comfortable and the bedrooms were very spacious with lots of storage. The little ones went in the upstairs room with their parents as it was huge with their own bathroom and a sofa bed if needed. The kitchen was a good size with everything and more that you could need for a weeks stay. We never ran out of crockery or cutlery. The welcome pack was wonderful with delicious homemade Victoria sponge cake. There are plenty of doggy items so you don’t need to pack your own - towels, beds, crates, throws, ball thrower! Ralph needs a raised bowl so we did bring our own with us. He even got some food and treats in the welcome pack. A doggy pushchair was provided as an extra. We didn’t need it in the end but for £10 it was worth having just in case. The back garden is huge and fully fenced in making this ideal for Ralph the dog and Archie the toddler. They absolutely loved running up and down playing. The front wasn’t enclosed so we kept the front doors locked as it looked out onto the broads. Plenty of space to park out front and lots of lovely walks from the house. We walked to the Norfolk nature reserve and enjoyed a boat trip. Lovely pub a very short walk away too. Archie enjoyed the play park at the community centre. The only small thing was the rowing boat wasn’t available, which would have been nice to have a go in. We went to Sea Palling beach as it was more toddler friendly but there were quieter beaches nearby too. The area was beautiful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing week together with extended family. ##### Sarah T.

I just can't put into words to say how fond we all are of this beautiful home and garden. Hickling Broad over the track at the front of the house is a joy to look at. The house itself has a lived in, country house feel, which makes it all the more delightful to arrive there.. It's like being welcomed back into comforting arms which immediately relaxes it's occupants. All age groups from our family have stayed there....from 2 year olds up to 70+ year olds. It's perfect for all. Our dogs have all been so happy there too. Jane and her team always leave amazing goodies on our arrival day. So a massive thankyou to them. Our only major disappointment is that The Pleasure Boat Inn has closed down .We used to row many, many times to it, for drinks and food. Also that Whispering Reeds no longer hire out boats...we all used every craft that they had. A GREAT SHAME!

Wow what a location, Hickling Broads is stunning. The house itself is very big and caters for all your needs and more. It’s not modern but that adds to the character. Thank you for the more than generous welcome goodies. The garden is huge and perfect for dogs. Our 2 Westies loved doing their zoomies around it. There’s also a table, chairs & umbrella for the humans and a big gas BBQ, which we made use of. Perfectly located to enjoy lovely walks from the door with the dogs. The NWT Hickling Broad reserve is only a 20 mins walk away or 5 min drive (dogs not allowed), where we saw the famous Swallowtail Butterfly and lots of others wildlife. Many beaches are only a short drive away and the shops and amenities are also within easy reach. Some recommendations - we enjoyed hiring an electric boat from Martham Ferry Boatyard, very peaceful trip along the broads. Dogs enjoyed it too. Also tried out paddling boarding for the first time at Go Paddle, great instructors and highly recommend. Visited Felbrigg Hall for a nice long walk with the dogs. Had a lovely takeaway lunch from The Butchers Arms. Great fish & chips from Broadlands Fish & Chips. We have thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay and look forward to returning again soon!

It is an ideal place to stay with a boisterous escape artist of a dog given its large secure garden and access to off the road walks out of the front door. The location is ideal with 2 pubs & a nature reserve in walking distance & the beach 20mins drive away. There are a range of water activities close by or you can watch the yachts & wind surfers from the chairs by the upstirs window Customer service deserves a higher score than 5stars! ##### Margaret S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### William E. 12 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay on Hickling Broad A 60th birthday celebration with sailing, kayaking and canoeing. Great place with lovely garden and easy access to broad via public slipway and local boatyard. Relaxing house with everything you could need. Loved the homemade cake and provisions left by Jane. ##### William E.

Fantastic welcome pack. Ideal location for dog walking (& dog friendly beaches a short drive away), bird watching or just enjoying the view over the broad. Now the Pleasure boat Inn has reopened there are 2 dog friendly pubs within walking distance. East Rushton Cottages is by far the friendliest & most helpful letting agency I have dealt with ##### Margaret S.

Just returned from a fantastic week at Red Roof, we loved the location right on Hickling Broad. The Gardens front and back are huge and extremely well maintained. We took 3 dogs, 1 of them an escapologist we appreciated the rear Garden was absolutely secure and we were able to relax and let them out unsupervised. The House is large and very comfortable , the furniture and carpet are dated however everything is there that you need and you do not have to worry about the Dog jumping on the settee so makes for a very relaxing holiday. The house comes complete with a rowing boat which we took advantage of and enjoyed a lovely sunny morning on the Broad. Very generous Welcome Pack on arrival. Circular Country Walk perfect for the Dogs right outside the front Door. Thank You Jane for having us.

Very dog friendly. Good showers and very comfortable beds. ##### Julie D. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 2 Jul 2024 #### Stunning location Our 2nd stay at Red Roofs and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. The location is stunning, right on the broads and can’t be beaten. The views and scenery are amazing. Only a short walk or drive to the NWT Hickling nature reserve too, where we saw numerous Swallowtail butterflies. All the local amenities are a short drive away and there’s lots of dog friendly beaches to choose from. Good dog walks straight from the door. The house itself is comfortable with lots of room and the garden is huge! Perfect for dog zoomies. Nice gas BBQ in the garden and a table and chairs. Recommendations: Martham Ferry electric boat hire / Broadland Fish & Chips in Stalahm / A.G. Meale farm shop in Stalham / Fair Maiden fish shop in Happisburgh. Also thanks to Jane the owner for the very generous welcome goodies.

What an absolutely beautiful location, with wonderful views across Hickling Broads, it is so peaceful with hardly anyone walking past and hardly any traffic. We stayed for a week, the weather was mixed but the house was welcoming and comfortable. Red Roofs is a little 'dated' in its decor, but it was warm and cosy, with enough sofas for two dogs and two humans that like to spread out, plenty of hot water and an open fire, not that we needed to use it as the heating did a good job. The kitchen has everything you need, if a little small but the dining room has plenty of space. The view from the upstairs bedroom is gorgeous and sitting outside listening to birds and nothing else was just lovely. We loved the location, everyone we met was super friendly and understanding of our 'I need space' anxious girl. Stunning walks, beach dunes and we enjoyed eating at The Greyhound, The Ingham Swan (dogs outside only, it was a lovely day) and The Gunton Arms (husband is a foodie).

My husband and I and a friend arrived with our two dogs and were thrilled at the location - so peaceful with amazing views across Hickling Broad. The house has a dated charm that immediately made us feel at home and was very comfortable, plus the very large secure back garden was a total hit with our new Spanish galgo rescue, whose favourite thing is playing fetch. The description stated there was a barbecue, but it wasn’t out when we arrived. However, a quick message to Jane the owner and on our return after a trip to the beach, the garden chairs, parasol and barbecue were in place, with an apology saying the weather had taken her by surprise! The house is so well equipped for dogs and humans alike, including plenty of games to keep young children amused. Our visit was May, but can imagine it would be a wonderful place to have a large family Christmas, with the open fire in the lounge.

Plenty of space and an awesome sized fully enclosed garden. Lovely large upstairs main bedroom and bathroom away from the main areas - so grandparents could escape to peace and quiet and an awesome view of Hickling Broad. The furnishings are old and sturdy and it was great knowing that the children could do no damage while running about. Kitchen again a little old fashioned but has everything that you could possibly need. It was great having family meals in the separate dining room. Two of the three downstairs bedrooms are tucked away towards the end of the building so children could get to sleep and not be disturbed by the grown ups in the main sitting room. The welcome pack far exceeded our expectations with a wonderful home made sponge with all our goodies, thank you. We also appreciated the plentiful supply of tea, coffee, dishwasher tabs, tea towels and lots of throws for the sofas. Thank you for a gorgeous company stay. ##### Catherine B.

Huge rear, fully enclosed garden for the dogs - my 3 loved it. Ideally located between the coast and the rest of the Broads. Both the pre-ordered seafood platter and the pizza making kits were superb. Also recommend The Greyhound pub in the village.Thoroughly recommend whether travelling solo or with company.

This location and holiday home is ideal for family members and multi dogs, having a massive garden with trees shrubs lots of lawn for them to do zoomies! The inside is spacious and the beds comfortable, An open fireplace with guards provided a cosy lounge on a colder evening and very easy to light with lots of wood and coal free, The kitchen has every modern facility, although the house isn’t modern, but a lovely place for chilling and such a quiet area, hardly any traffic, only neighbours vehicles and a few delivery vans. Ideal round walk from the house taking in nature and moored boats, Thank you to the owner Jane for a home made scrumptious cake and goodies left for guests!

Lost count of the number of stays we've had at Redroofs. The location is perfect and the huge, secure back garden offers great peace of mind that dogs are safe outdoors. Always tidy and beautifully tended. It's a big house so ideal for perhaps multi-family or multi-generation get-togethers, especially with 3 bedrooms on the ground floor. And there's plenty of everything in the kitchen! Short walk to village pub (Greyhound, Hickling Green), short drive to all the wonderful beaches of East Norfolk. Whats not to love ... ##### Joy S.

The location is stunning directly opposite Hickling Broad and it's very peaceful. There are plenty of walks from the doorstep and we enjoyed walking at dusk to see the deer and flocks of geese in the neighbouring fields. There is a rowing boat available to use during the summer and we had fun on the broad with this. I must mention ERC and Sue in particular who is always so helpful and who arranged a dog stroller at very short notice for one of our dogs struggling to walk and we collected this from another ERC property where it wasn't being used, a true community of owners willing to support guests at other properties is quite rare and is testament to Sue's hard work. We love Norfolk and can't wait to return.

It was our second stay, so we were familiar with the area and greatly enjoyed visits to Sea Palling, Winterton and Bacton beaches. Stalham vintage market was joyous surprise and we spent hours pottering up and down the stalls looking for hidden gems and reminiscing about some of the objects that we’d used in the past to the great hilarity of the teenage contingent of the party. The house suited us well, fitted us all in and with the downstairs bedrooms and bathroom facilitated Nanny with her mobility issues. Pepper loved the huge garden especially chasing off the pigeons and occasional rabbit who she shared it with. It’s in an idyllic quiet location overlooking Hickling Broad. The Greyhound Inn was welcoming and the food was delicious , you will need to book as it’s very popular. The quiz on Sunday evening was great fun. Thank you for a second lovely stay, it’s great to find somewhere we can bring all the family together and we were so blessed with the weather which added to our 2 weeks of happiness. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coppid Beech Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Hotels-The-Coppid-Beech-Hotel.h3809.Hotel-Information) > > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
