Living room Very light and white and spacious with engineered laminate floor throughout - easy to clean and not too slippery for paws. There is a large leather sofa and footstool and whilst the idea of a large white leather sofa might worry some dog owners, this has been specifically chosen for its easy clean (wipeable) surface. (Tracie and Neil who own the house have dogs of their own and lots of experience so they do know what dog owners need). Dogs are welcome to join you on it as long as you can bring your own throws with you. The flat screen TV has Sky and there is good wifi here.
Kitchen Very well fitted with enough seating for 4. There is everything you need here - washing machine, tumble drier, dishwasher, fridge, freezer with enough room for raw food supplies - don't forget our local Raw Dog Food Company deliver to all our properties for free. To cook on there is a hob and oven plus microwave, kettle and toaster and a filtered water tap too.
Ensuite bedroom King size bed with plenty of storage and hanging space and another tv with Freeview for bedtime viewing. The ensuite bathroom has a bath with a shower over it plus a toilet, sink and bidet too.
OUTSIDE When you arrive, pull in through the large metal (electric) gates and onto the gravel parking in front of the annexe. The main house is to the right and the annexe is in front of you. Parking is in front of the pallisade fencing. The courtyard area here is the outside area for the annexe. Astroturf grass means no muddy paws and there is a hose outside too for washing it down. The bbq is a really neat one with a detachable top so you can take it over to the table and chairs outside (seats 4). There are even a couple of loungers, a parasol and beach chairs for sitting out and enjoying the sunshine!

Beautiful place to stay
Everything was was wonderful, the owner was reall kind and helpful.
The only thing we can say to balance a wonderful stay is we had to drive to the nearest pub

Lovely welcoming mini break
We had a lovely stay in this pretty and well equipped dog-friendly property. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We managed to time our arrival with Storm Amy blowing in, and were delighted that she had ensured the accommodation was toasty warm. Being Norfolk, the sun magically managed to put in an appearance each day. The stunning sandy beach was within walking distance, as was Happisburgh’s iconic lighthouse.

A very comfortable cottage with lovely hosts .
My dogs and I really loved our stay in Edelweiss. Loved our Bloodhound neighbours and great beach walks.
It’s a very comfortable cottage, fab welcome pack and very near to beaches which are dog welcoming.
Thank you for a great 5* review & we'll hopefully see you again. Sue

Perfect for short break with the dogs
Lovely little cottage with everything we needed. Practical outdoor space for a sit down and the dogs to get out but under close control. Offroad walks a few metres from front door. Good location for beaches and to explore Norfolk. On-line info pack spot on and very simple booking.

Lovely cottage
We had a lovely stay in the cottage. Primary reason for going away was to avoid fireworks, which was completely fulfilled. We had some great walks on the beach where our dog could run and play off lead. Excellent place for anyone with dogs.

Lovely and relaxing.
We needed a short break away from the stresses of moving house. Edelweiss was the perfect place. The owners made us feel really welcome and the cottage was wonderful and well equipped. Our dogs had every thing they needed and loved visiting all the local beaches.

Perfect place for us and our two dogs
We enjoyed a lovely week at Edelweiss - easy to get to nice local beaches for dog walks and other visitor attractions in the wider area. Accommodation was comfortable and just right for us and our two dogs. Great to have enclosed outdoor space and off road parking.
Well looked after by Tracie who made us very welcome and checked we were comfortable.

Great dog friendly getaway
We have just returned from a stay at Edelweiss and can't fault it. The cottage was lovely, clean, well equipped and 100% dog friendly. Perfectly located to visit all the local beaches, woods, waterways, pubs and shops. Our hosts Tracy and Neil provided everything for a home away from home and were friendly and on hand if we needed anything. Thank you from us and our crazy whippets.

Lovely place and lovely owner
I had a lovely time at Edelweiss. Tracie was very helpful and left some wonderful gifts for my furbabies and me!
The beaches are lovely and Bacton Wood was a great place to take the dogs for a walk in the shade.
Thank you

Perfect
We had a wonderful week in Edelweiss. Apart from the lovely accommodation, the first lovely surprise was the gorgeous welcome pack - the best we have had in all our cottage holidays. The weather was perfect and the beach was only a short walk away. Other beautiful beaches to explore nearby. We walked our dog after breakfast and spent the afternoons relaxing in the sunny garden. Our host Tracie made us very welcome and couldn't do enough for us. We will certainly be returning.

Lovely few days away
Our first visit to Happisburgh. Located in a quiet and ideal location for lovely beach walks. We walked miles every day on almost deserted sandy dog friendly beaches.
The accommodation was lovely and perfect for doggy holidays. The bed was really comfortable and we both slept well. Our only thought was that the bathroom would benefit from modernising as it looked tired and dated.

A great place for some peace and quiet.
We stayed for 3 nights and it was so relaxing
Lovely quiet spot away from the hussel and bussel.
Tracie, the owner was so welcoming and left humans and dogs some treats, we didn’t have to go out finding bread, milk, butter, tea and coffee. It was all provided, it was so relaxing knowing that our dogs were welcome too.
We were so happy that in the evenings we could relax knowing the dogs were safe in a secure garden.
Looking forward to staying again next year.

Another fab stay
Yet another wonderful stay at Edelweiss. I think this was our 3rd or 4th stay and every time has been perfect. It's ideally situated and close to our favourites beaches, pubs, restaurants and walks. Tracie is a lovely host and was great in providing a large crate, at short notice, for a dog on veterinary instructed bed rest!
We walked miles on this holiday but came back very rested! The dogs loved their treats left for them and really enjoyed their stay. We definitely hope to return.

A gem
Edelweiss was a gem, a haven. Lots of space, very comfortable and very dog friendly. Kitchen was well equipped and catered for all. Lovely box of treats on arrival, dog included. It was great to discover there was a farm track nearby to give access to the coastal path and in easy walking distance of Happisburgh lighthouse and Cart Gap. Tracie the owner was very friendly and always on hand for any needs. I really enjoyed my stay, even relaxing in the sunshine outside the cottage. I returned home refreshed, recharged and longing to return again.
