Fabulous repeat stay

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Dormy again. It is in the most perfect location for the beach and provides all the home comforts that any human or dog could wish for.

Another fab stay.

Our second stay at the beautiful Dorny. The Welcome Packs for both humans and doggies were again excellent promoting local produce, which is a must for us. Fabulous location, doggies enjoyed their daily beach walks - we couldn’t do the usual numerous miles due to our senior boy (13) and senior girl (11) but they loved it. Still remains our plan to retire to beautiful Norfolk one day! My only negative is the road leading to the property has deteriorated since our previous stay, Thank you for a great stay.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic area. Had everything we needed and the secure garden was huge. 5 minutes walk to the beach which was great for us and our dog.

Perfect holiday

A relaxing bungalow in excellent condition with everything you would need for a holiday with your dog. Being close to the dog friendly beach was a bonus.

Hotel quality dog friendly home at the sea

We have stayed in this part of Norfolk before and love the area but it was our first time at Dormy. We were impressed with all the facilities in the cottage, comfy beds, very fluffy towels, all mod cons in the kitchen and a large comfy sofa that we could all fit on and relax. Everything was spotlessly clean and there’s a dish washer so no one has to wash up on holiday. You can hear the sea and the view out the front is lovely too, we enjoyed watching the large skeins of Pink-footed Geese every morning and small murmurations of Starlings too. We saw deer in the dunes at the back too, lovely to be surrounded by wildlife. The garden is large and secure so our dogs enjoyed exploring that too. We all felt very at home by the end of our stay and would love to visit again next year.

Fantastic stay!

It was the absolute best dog friendly, cleanest, most comfortable stay we’ve been to. Everything for dogs ( & Hoomans!) catered for. Great location with a very short walk to beach and secure gardens back and front. Lovely and quiet- just the waves to listen to. Thank you

A week's break in Dormy

Here is a more professional, polished version with gentle expansion while keeping the original sentiment and details intact: --- This was our second stay at Dormy and, once again, it proved to be an excellent choice for us and our seven dogs. The house was immaculately clean, tastefully modern in its styling, and clearly designed with practicality and comfort in mind. It functioned exceptionally well as a living space, particularly for a large group with dogs. We made full use of the local area, enjoying trips to the beach, walks in Bacton Woods, and frequent visits to the nearby dog fields, whose close proximity was a real advantage. The hot washing facilities were especially welcome after outings with the dogs, particularly following muddy walks at Bacton. We also revisited some excellent local eateries: The Swan at Ingham was, once again, delightful, and the Sea Marge Hotel at Overstrand was equally enjoyable. Overall, Dormy was a truly lovely place to stay. It met our needs perfectly, provided a relaxed and comfortable base, and most importantly, our dogs were very happy there—which meant that we were too.

Relaxing short break

This was our second stay at delightful Dormy (the first having been to avoid fireworks). We love the great location, so close to the beach so not needing to necessarily use the car, but also not too far to travel for a day out. Cannot fault the accommodation - clean, well presented and equipped, comfortable, wonderful welcome pack, plenty of local information provided. Everything dogs and humans could possibly need to enjoy a chilled and relaxing holiday.

Outstanding

Our holiday staying at Dormy was by far the best we’ve had. Dormy is an exceptional property, perfectly clean, well equipped, in a fantastic location so so close to a very peaceful beach. Dormy was extremely dog friendly, and with our dogs feeling right at home, allowed everywhere and supplied with lovely throws and beds and a lovely basket of goodies for the dogs and humans. The gardens were completely enclosed and safe. We have booked to return next year.

A great place to stay…

A great place to stay with dogs welcome. Dormy had everything we needed. Comfortable, warm and very well equipped. The access road is currently a bit challenging but I guess that’s not down to the property owners. Ample safe parking at the property. Being so near to a fabulous beach was for us a major advantage. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

We had a perfect Dormy Christmas.

We were very excited to arrive at Dormy for Christmas. Stepping inside, it was perfectly decorated for Christmas with the little tree on a table - out of a dog’s reach! Phew! The lovely welcome tray is always a nice surprise but we were blown away by the Christmas extras for humans and dogs. Pure luxury was discovered when we opened the generous hamper plus the beautifully wrapped big box of luxurious dog treats. Just brilliant and so thoughtful of the owners. We were very touched by their thoughtful gifts. Dormy was immaculate until the Cypriots slobbered their sandy/muddy noses on the patio windows. Dormy is definitely our favourite house from the ERC portfolio as it is just a few steps from the beach and located down a bumpy little lane which makes it feel like a unique location. The sunsets are wonderful to see without getting up from the sofa. Beautifully fresh interior, excellent secure rear garden for dogs, and feels like home as soon as you walk through the door. We did not want to leave!

Beach walks

Beautifully furnished and so comfortable. Everything you could possibly need for a holiday with your dog was provided. Lovely big safe garden and a two minute walk to the sandy beach.

So nice, we came twice

A return visit to the cleanest Holiday accommodation I have ever experienced. Located so near to the beach, and the large garden with high fences is a delight for the dogs. The entire property has been planned with dogs in mind relieving anxiety for their owners.

Everything a dog could need

Best feature are the well fenced front and back gardens with high fences. Then walk a few yards along the lane to the path over the dunes and onto the dog friendly, Sandy beach. The wooden shed contains all sorts of useful dog items such as crates, mattresses etc. Then, for the humans, lovely comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, and comfy sofa with throws allowing dogs on the sofa. We have stayed three years in succession. Ned we say any more!

Peaceful, relaxing dog friendly cottage

The cottage was super clean, warm and well equipped. The beds were really comfy and there was an amazing welcome hamper for us with treats for our dog too! The whole cottage was really geared towards our dog which made our whole stay so much more relaxing. And the walks on the beach were literally a 2 minute walk away - and we were often joined on our walks by seals bobbing along in the waves. I highly recommend Dormy!

A Wonderful Find

We stayed at Dormy for a week and wished it could have been longer. This is definitely one of the nicest dog friendly holiday homes we have stayed in. The accommodation was so comfortable, including the beds, very nicely decorated and everything was to a high standard and worked! The large garden was a big plus for the dogs too! We would definitely recommend a stay here.

Amazing Dormy!

We absolutely loved our stay at Dormy. The property is homely, cosy, light and airy. It was spotlessly clean, Dormy is really well equipped and beautifully furnished to a high standard. We received an amazing welcome pack for us and the dogs. Lovely rural views from the front of the property and can hear the sea from the back garden. A couple of minutes walk to the beach. Wonderful location and perfect for the dogs with a nice large, secure back garden.

Great facilities, really dog friendly with big secure garden.

Had a very enjoyable stay at Dormy. The location is great for the beach which is excellent for our very energetic working cocker spaniel. Facilities within the bungalow were very good, the air fryer and the coffee machine were a great bonus, so much so that we bought the same model coffee machine when we got home. Fabulous welcome pack( with artisan dog treats) and a secure gardens for the hound. The whole accommodation is really dog friendly We also had the bonus of sunny weather. We had a great holiday. Thank you. Helen, John & Milo

A great place for dogs

A great place for a holiday with our dog , everything was catered for even treats for Dexter and a welcome pack for us which was amazing, the bungalow was clean , spacious and the gardens were brilliant and safe to let the dog out. If you can't walk very far you do need a car to get you to places , the little cafe around the corner didn't open when we were there which was a shame as it comes highly recommended

The perfect place!

Second time at Dormy. Such a bright, sunny and spacious place. The back garden is great too - totally enclosed and big grassy area so dogs are safe and secure to play and run around. Just a 2 min walk to the sandy track leading to the super beach. The best bit… loved being able to hear the waves from the back garden.
