The dog friendly beach which our Lab loved is a 5 minute walk from the property. We have rented numerous holiday homes and Stepping Stone cottage is one of the best so far .We would highly recommend it if you are planning to visiting Norfolk ##### Keith Corbett This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reg Harris 2 Dec 2025 #### This cottage exceeded our expectations. This cottage exceeded our expectations. Nevertheless we would draw attention to some of the small problems we came across which I think would make this perfect. There is no doubt that the owners have created a well equipped house with the choice of the equipment and furnishings of a very very good standard but we would make some mention where we think it could make made better with little or no cost. The comprehensive book of information lacked something of importance. There was an absence of a contact name and number should issues arise. For example, the wifi worked when we first arrived but failed from day 2 onwards. After numerous factory restarts connection was made but failed to stabilise, breaking down within a minute. Logs for the fire were in an outdoor locked shed but where was the key? However, our remarks should not deter anyone since they are easily and otherwise detract anyone from enjoying this cottage. They will not be disappointed.Finally, it would be helpful if the BLACK BOOK was updated and corrected where necessary.We did look at remarks left by other visitors and the use of 'wonderful' appeared in all we looked at and feel this was well deserved. ##### Reg Harris This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Ellis 11 Jul 2025 #### We really enjoyed our short break, with our dog, at this wonderful cosy cottage. We really enjoyed our short break, with our dog, at this wonderful cosy cottage. The owners left good clear instructions throughout the booking process and the place was spotlessly clean upon our arrival. A thoughtful basket of essentials was left for us, so that we didn't have to rush out straight away for the very basic provisions. The property is very dog friendly, with a fully enclosed garden, toys, throws over the furniture and even a few doggy treats. On one of the very coldest days we enjoyed using the would burner, but even without that, the cottage was toasty warm. There is a large supermarket about 15 mins drive away, and a local convenience store just 10 minutes walk from the property. Fantastic beach walks are just a stones throw away, as well as a dog friendly pub. We also really enjoyed the fish and chips from the local shop (next the the convenience store), the best we've tasted in a long time. Only one tiny niggle; whilst the property has a washing machine there was no clothes rack to air your clothes and the outdoor line wasn't much use in the dead of winter. Also, the bulbs above the cooker hood had failed or were dying... just minor... but not the best lighting to cook with. Our overall impression was fabulous though, a love property, in a great location, for a peaceful break with our four-legged friend, and great value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to strongly recommend. Thank you. ##### David Ellis ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Wroxham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Hotel-Wroxham.h12688693.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Farm Hotel & Leisure](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Park-Farm-Hotel-Leisure.h1466553.Hotel-Information) > > [Wensum Valley Hotel Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Wensum-Valley-Hotel-Golf-Country-Club.h1780519.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Manor-Hotel.h1891808.Hotel-Information) > > [Barnham Broom Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Barnham-Broom-Hotel.h1411.Hotel-Information) > > [Spacious converted barn in North Norfolk with private hot tub & close to beaches](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Spacious-Barn-In-North-Norfolk-With-Private-Hot-Tub-Close-To-Beaches.h27122758.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Elm Farm Country House, Norwich Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-OYO-Elm-Farm-Country-House.h12338549.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bird in Hand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Bird-In-Hand.h31281619.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Self Catering 5 Bedroom Waterside Retreat Cottage Wroxham, Norfolk Broads, Eng](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Self-Catering-5-Bedroom-Waterside-Retreat-Cottage-Wroxham.h33589779.Hotel-Information) > > [Kings Head Hotel by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Kings-Head-Hotel-By-Greene-King-Inns.h10414421.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barns at Thorpe Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Barns-At-Thorpe-Market.h4565002.Hotel-Information) > > [The Honingham Buck](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Honingham-Buck.h15437673.Hotel-Information) > > [Sprowston Manor Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Sprowston-Manor-Hotel.h536513.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kings Head Bawburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Kings-Head-Bawburgh.h13064295.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Holiday Cottage Nr The Iconic Wroxham Bridge. 2-Bedroom Pet-Friendly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Riverside-Holiday-Cottage-Nr-The-Iconic-Wroxham-Bridge-2-Bedroom-Pet-Friendly.h18991234.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ship Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Ship-Inn.h35607084.Hotel-Information) > > [Norfolk Mead](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Norfolk-Mead.h9083254.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [4 Bedroom Brightside Cottage In Wroxham, Norfolk, Norfolk Broads England](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-4-Bedroom-Brightside-Cottage-In-Wroxham.h33582325.Hotel-Information) > > [Stower Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Stower-Grange-Hotel.h4865955.Hotel-Information) > > [Broadview Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Broadview-Lodge.h75206860.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oaklands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Oaklands-Hotel.h799755.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Rectory Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Old-Rectory-Hotel.h5074137.Hotel-Information) > > [The Roman Camp Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Roman-Camp-Inn.h28829224.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ram at Tivetshall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Old-Ram-Coaching-Inn.h11899341.Hotel-Information) > > [The Plough Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Plough-Inn.h2876436.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) ---
