Found Pack Holidays by chance and in desperation for a holiday with 5 dogs - what a choice, I rang Gail and she helped shortlist the properties that would be most suitable. We had a fab week, admittedly the weather was amazing but so was the house, garden and Gail. Would highly recommend. We went during term time and the beach at low tide was breath taking and we had it to ourselves

Hi Mandy,

Thank you so much for this wonderful 5-star review! I am absolutely delighted that you stumbled across Pack Holidays and that we could help turn holiday desperation into such a fantastic week!

Finding a place that truly welcomes five dogs can feel like a mammoth task, so I was more than happy to help narrow down the list to find the perfect fit for your pack. Orchard Cottage is such a special spot, and hearing that you loved the house, the garden, and those stunning, empty low-tide beach walks completely makes my day.

Having an entire Norfolk beach to yourselves with five happy dogs running free is pure magic, isn't it?

Thank you so much for choosing Pack Holidays, Mandy, and for your lovely recommendation. I would love to welcome you and all five of your pooches back for another peaceful break whenever you're ready!

Best wishes,

Yet another fabulous week at Wilfred’s Farm with Pack Holidays. Our third visit and this one didn’t disappoint. The situation of the house so close to Weavers Way and on a no through road makes it so tranquil. The garden is totally secure and so no escaping dogs. The house is clean and tidy and has all the necessary amenities to make it a pleasurable stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone and of course Gail at Pack Holidays is an absolute dream to deal with. Thank you!

Hi Deb,

Thank you so much for this beautiful 5-star review! It was an absolute joy to welcome you back to Wilfred's Farm for your third visit—you are a truly valued part of the Pack Holidays family.

I am so thrilled that the farm never fails to disappoint you and your pack! That tranquil little spot on the no-through road right by the Weavers' Way is pure magic, isn't it? It’s the ultimate place to just switch off, and knowing that you can let the dogs out into the garden without a single worry about escape artists is exactly what makes it a real holiday.

Thank you so much for your incredibly sweet words about dealing with me, Deb. It is always an absolute pleasure helping you organise your getaways. We are already looking forward to visit number four whenever you and the pups are ready for another peaceful break!

Huge huge best wishes,

We had a week at Poets Corner in Mundesley, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The amazing weather helped, but we loved the house - so comfortable and well equipped, and the garden - perfect for our greyhound and lurcher to find shade / sun as they pleased. Unlike many other "dog friendly" holiday companies, Pack Holidays start with the dogs and bring humans along for the ride - I like that!!

Hi Ciara,

Thank you so much for this incredible 5-star review! I am absolutely delighted that you had such a thoroughly enjoyable week at Poets Corner.

You have no idea how much I love your description that we 'start with the dogs and bring humans along for the ride'—you have completely summed up my entire business philosophy in one sentence! It really is all about the pups, and when they are happy, we know the humans will have a great time too.

I'm so glad the gorgeous Mundesley weather turned up for you and that the garden was the perfect sanctuary for your greyhound and lurcher. Sighthounds are absolute experts at finding the ultimate lounging spots, so knowing they could track the sun and shade to their hearts' content is just lovely.

Thank you for choosing Pack Holidays, Ciara. We would love to welcome you, your humans, and your beautiful hounds back to Poets Corner whenever you need another relaxing coastal break!

Best wishes,

Superb. The only cottages that truly are dog friendly and aren't banned from sofas and beds. I searched and searched and finally after some years found what we needed with Pack Holidays. And what a house we had. A massive enclosed garden, more like a field, that my dog absolutely loved. A fantastic house in the heart of beautiful surroundings. This is the only holiday company I will use from now on as it really is the only company I have found that properly caters for people with dogs. Gail is lovely and extremely efficient. 10 stars out of 5.

Hi Kev,

Wow—thank you so much! Your review has completely blown me away and put the biggest smile on my face. Giving us '10 stars out of 5' is the ultimate compliment!

Hearing that you spent years searching for a holiday company that truly understands dog owners, and that you finally found your home with Pack Holidays, means the absolute world to me. You hit the nail right on the head—nobody wants to spend their holiday playing 'sofa police' or worrying about the beds. When the dogs are relaxed, the humans can finally unwind!

I am so thrilled that your pup fell in love with that massive garden (it really is a proper zoomie field, isn't it?) and that the house and surroundings were everything you needed.

Thank you for your incredibly kind words about my efficiency, too. Matching wonderful people and their packs to their perfect holiday haven is my absolute passion. Welcome to the family, Kev—we are so proud to have you as a customer for life and already can't wait to welcome you back for your next adventure!

Best wishes,

As ever with Pack Holidays everything has been thought of for the dogs. They are happy and secure so you can just enjoy your holiday. Avocet in Pakefield is 2 minutes from a dog friendly beach, but also urban enough to have plenty of choice for eating without having to get in the car. The apartment and garden are small but perfectly set out with everything you might need and very clean.

Hi Lauraine,

Awwwwh. Thank you so much for the lovely 5-star review! It is always a pleasure to welcome you back, and I'm so pleased that Avocet hit the spot for your latest getaway.

I love your description of Pakefield—it really is the perfect little coastal hub, isn't it? Being just two minutes from the beach but having all those wonderful places to eat right on your doorstep means you truly get a break from driving.

We try so hard to maximize every single inch of our smaller properties to ensure they are packed with everything you and the dogs could possibly need, so hearing that it felt perfectly set out and secure means the world to me. When the dogs are safe and happy, the holiday can truly begin!

Thank you again for your continued support, Lauraine. I can't wait to help you book your next adventure with the pack!

Best wishes,

What a fabulous holiday! We (by that I mean our Rescue Ralph and us his servants) had a great time at Nautilus from the moment we got there. The bungalow was perfect, with everything we needed. Whilst it got quite hot on one day, we were easily able to keep the bungalow cool and the garden was perfect for us. Lots of sun, but a great breeze from the sea. The main bedroom was lovely, and we all slept like we had slipped into a coma, as it was so peaceful. We did venture out on a few days, but mainly for the air con in the car, and everywhere we went was lovely - really pretty surrounding areas, and all very dog friendly. We spent most of the time on the beach at Eccles, and in the garden at Nautilus. The beach was a short quiet walk, and then wow! Clean, quiet and calm. Just what Ralph needed. After early morning walks, then relaxing in the garden (a real first for Ralph), and a late evening walk on the beach, we crashed out and did very little else. It was perfect. Our first Pack Holidays, and I'm just annoyed that I didn't find Gail and her team sooner. Also, our first visit to Norfolk, but definitely not our last. In fact we have already booked with Pack Holidays for a spring break next year. Loved the communications with Gail, who helped us pick the best place for Ralph, and really appreciated her knowledge and frankness about our options. Can't recommend both Pack Holidays and Nautilus highly enough, exactly as described with everything done to make the holiday the best for all of us (and particularly Ralph 😀). We all had a great holiday and will be counting down the weeks until we return. Not just 'dogs tolerated' or even just 'dog friendly', but absolutely 'holiday heaven' for dogs, and that's exactly what we needed. Ralph was really happy which made us more relaxed and happy than ever! Thank you xx

Hi Joanne (and of course, the wonderful Prince Ralph!),

Thank you so much for this absolutely beautiful 5-star review. To say I am over the moon reading it is an understatement—it has completely made my week!

Hearing that Nautilus provided a safe space where Ralph could relax in a garden for the very first time actually brought a little tear to my eye. That is exactly why I do this. For a rescue pup to feel that secure, and for you all to sleep like you'd slipped into a coma because it was so peaceful—well, that is the ultimate dream!

I'm so glad my recommendations helped you find the perfect match for him. Nautilus really is a little haven with that sea breeze, and having those quiet, calm stretches of Eccles beach just a short walk away is pure magic.

Welcome to Norfolk, and welcome to the Pack Holidays family! Thank you for trusting us with Ralph's first trip. We are so honoured to have you as members, and we are already counting down the weeks with you until your spring break next year!

Give the gorgeous Ralph a massive squeeze from me.

Love Pack Holidays and Gail Adams! Winterton on Sea for us this year with the lovely Evie 🐾 Absolutely, totally dog friendly cottages with dog treats, water and food bowls, dog towels and dog holiday tags for your stay! There are plenty of throws available for the bed if you fancy a doggy cuddle in the mornings. Linens, towels, hand soap and fairy liquid are also provided. Plus dishwasher tablets and washing tablets should you need them. Herring Cottage was beautiful and only a 5minute walk to the beach where the is a dune cafe for a cuppa and more after a long beach walk. A local pub called the fisherman’s Return is close by too. Foods ok, outside seating area with a good atmosphere. Ranworth has the Malsters pub, again dog friendly and in a lovely setting with the broads in full view. Also Acle Bridge pub, it has the views too plus a choice of baguettes as well as tasty hot food. The steak was perfect. And the beer garden was gorgeous. All pubs in Norfolk seem to cater for dogs. Back in Winterton there’s Poppies Tea room and need I say it’s dog friendly too? Lovely coffee and breakfasts. Well done again Gail. Amazing cottage, just what we needed along with the sea breeze 🐾 🏖️ 🍺 🫖 🍷 🐾

Hi Jenny,

Oh, wow—thank you so much! Your wonderful review has completely made my day and left me with the biggest smile on my face.

I am absolutely thrilled that you and the lovely Evie had such a beautiful stay at Herring Cottage. We always try to make sure that everything is covered—from the essentials like dishwasher tablets right down to the extra dog tags and plenty of cosy throws for those important morning cuddles on the bed! When the pack is happy, the humans can finally relax.

You have truly mapped out the ultimate Norfolk holiday itinerary here! From the steak at Acle Bridge to the gorgeous views at The Maltsters and breakfasts at Poppies, it sounds like Evie got to experience the very best hospitality Norfolk has to offer. And of course, that 5-minute stroll from Herring Cottage down to the dunes and the beach is just the icing on the cake.

Thank you so much for your lovely words and for being such a fantastic part of the Pack Holidays family. We already can't wait to welcome you and Evie back for more sea breezes!

We have just had our 3rd Pack Holiday and again were over the moon with everything. We stayed again at Avocet in Pakefield and despite the awful weather (for the 1st week of June it rained every day and was a lot cooler and windier than May) we really enjoyed it. We made use of the local pubs (Jolly Sailor and its sister pub The Bell Inn) and we went to Oulton Broad and the brilliant Nicholas Everitt Park with it's Tea Room and then went out to Southwold as well. Every Pack Holiday is all about the Dog/s and they are catered for really well. At Avocet the lovely owner, Clare, had left us goodies and little notes for advice on heating etc. The garden is fully secure so no worries about escaping dogs. If you have not tried a Pack Holiday you need to give it a go.

We had a fantastic stay at Pompian Lodge in Lancashire June 2026 with 3 dogs. The bungalow was spacious, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. A lot of thought has gone into creating a relaxing place. The pool table and sauna were great additions and gave us plenty to do during the evenings and when wet and windy. The highlight for us was having West Lancs K9 Splash & Hydro on site. Our dogs swam every morning, which was perfect with the weather a bit grotty. Fab facility and clean. Ian was great with our three dogs and their confidence grew with every session. After a swim, it was back for food and a nap before heading out to explore the local area each afternoon. There is a small area for dogs to go outside overlooking the ménage, which was not in use while guests present. Behind the ménage, a paddock where three horses grazed during the day, added to the peaceful countryside setting. There are walks directly from the property, although we did not explore them due to bird nesting season. We instead chose to visit a local beach and other dog friendly off lead locations. Formby Beach is only around 30 minutes away, which made for a great day out and a real treat for the dogs. We also enjoyed walks in Leyland Park, canal-side strolls and had a couple of dog friendly pub lunches, all within easy reach of the lodge. The hosts Ian and Gill were friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We felt at home from the moment we arrived. They were available if needed, yet gave us complete privacy to relax and enjoy our holiday. Their attention to detail and genuine care for both guests and dogs helped make our stay especially enjoyable. We have no hesitation in recommending Pompian Lodge and would happily stay again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hi Laura,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful, detailed review! I am absolutely over the moon to hear that you and your three pups had such a fantastic stay with us this June.

Ian and Gill are absolute stars, and I’m so pleased to hear how much your dogs' confidence grew in the pool with Ian each morning—even if the British weather was being a bit grotty! There really is nothing better than the 'swim, eat, nap' routine for a happy hound.

It sounds like you made the absolute most of the area too. Formby is such a treat for a proper doggy zoomie, and you can’t beat a good canal stroll followed by a dog-friendly pub lunch!

We always want our guests to feel like they can completely unwind and exhale, so knowing you felt at home from the moment you arrived means the world to us.

Thank you again for recommending us, and you are officially part of the Pack now! We would love to welcome you and your lovely trio back on another Pack Holiday whenever you feel

Best,

Wonderfully relaxing dog friendly holiday at Snowdrop Cottage, Winterton-on-Sea. Not having to worry about if the dogs go on the sofa, up the stairs or escape from the back garden means that you are already 100% more relaxed than other holidays. Really good communication from the owner meant that we knew exactly where everything was in the property, how to get to the beach, and dog friendly places in the village. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a real dog friendly holiday.

Hi Sheena,

Thank you so much for this wonderful 5-star review! I am absolutely over the moon to hear that you had such a relaxing holiday at Snowdrop Cottage.

Your comment about being '100% more relaxed' truly made my day, because that is exactly why Pack Holidays exists! There is nothing worse than spending your break stressing over sofas, stairs, or checking the garden fence every two minutes. When the dogs are trusted and secure, the humans can finally take a deep breath and unwind.

Winterton-on-Sea is such a special village, and I'm so glad my notes helped you find your way around the best doggy spots and down to that gorgeous beach easily. Thank you for such a glowing recommendation—it means the world to me. We would love to welcome you and your clever pack back on a Pack Holiday whenever you need another dose of pure relaxation!

Best wishes,

We stayed at Snowdrop Cottage in Winterton on Sea last week and it was lovely. Amazing to be somewhere that is actually really dog friendly, with handy guides on where to walk and eat always a bonus. Can confirm the Fishermans Return and Hermanus are both dog friendly too

Hi Anna,

Thank you so much for the lovely 5-star review! I am absolutely delighted to hear that you and your pack had such a wonderful week at Heath Cottage.

We work really hard to make sure our cottages are just as clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured when you arrive, so hearing that it lived up to expectations means the world to me. I'm so glad that your three pooches had plenty of room to stretch their legs in that lovely big garden—peace of mind for the humans and freedom for the dogs is what it's all about!

It really is a beautiful area, and being just a short 5-minute drive from the beach is the perfect setup for a relaxing getaway. Thank you for choosing Pack Holidays, Anna—we would love to welcome you and your three pups back for another stay whenever you're ready for more coastal adventures!

We loved our stay at Herring House at Winterton on sea. We managed to dodge the rain, on our beach and circular walks. Ruby and Nym loved to climb and explore the large rocks on the beach and then happily chilling whilst we finished off with a coffee by the beach.

Hi Julie,

Thank you so much for the lovely 5-star review! I am absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Herring House.

Dodging the rain showers is all part of the Norfolk adventure, isn't it? I'm so glad the weather co-operated enough for you to get those beautiful beach and circular walks in. It sounds like Ruby and Nym had an absolute ball playing explorer on the rocks! There is nothing better than watching them tire themselves out, followed by that well-deserved, peaceful coffee by the sea while they happily chill out beside you.

Thank you for choosing Pack Holidays for your getaway. We would love to welcome you, Ruby, and Nym back for more coastal adventures whenever you need another break!

Stayed at Berrichon Holidays in France for 7 nights. I cannot recommend enough. Sarah and Steven were really helpful before arriving with clear instructions as well as local recommendations and even local vets. This was the first time Ive taken my 4 collies abroad and Ive booked for 2 weeks next year. The gite was perfect. 3 bedrooms, stone floors and a large and secure garden, all fencing was 6ft apart from the gate but Sarah asked if any were jumpers and offered to put an extra over the top of the gate if needed. There was a paddling pool (and a pool for me)provided for the dogs, as well as covers for the furniture, a jar of dog treats and poo bags left. There was a stair gate if you didn't want your dogs upstairs and fans (chose the hottest week). Walks from the doorstep into the country and lots of local recommendations provided! My dogs will be coming away with me every year following this great find!

We have just returned from a lovely week at Herring house Winterton on sea. The upside down living made it so spacious and very relaxing. The house was very comfortable with all we needed for our stay. It's well equipped for the dogs as well with raised bowls and a basket of dog towels by the door, even plenty of throws for the beds and sofa. This was our second visit to Winterton and really love the village, beach and places to eat. Spencer our Labrador especially likes the Seal view café as he gets given sausage by the lovely staff. He remembered where he was straight away and was off across the dunes and heading to the beach. We have had such positive experiences on both our pack holidays and will be booking again.

Hi Lynn,

Thank you so much for the lovely 5-star review! I am absolutely thrilled that you had another wonderful, relaxing week.

That upside-down layout at Herring House really does make the living space feel so special and airy, doesn't it? It's the perfect spot to unwind. I’m also so glad that Spencer approved of all the doggy touches—we try to make sure everything from the raised bowls to the towels and throws are ready to go, so the pups can feel right at home from the second they walk through the door.

Speaking of Spencer... I absolutely love that he remembered his way across the dunes! Labradors have a built-in compass for sausages and fun, don't they? 🌭 Boundary-free beach runs and cafe treats—he truly had the ultimate holiday!

Thank you for choosing Pack Holidays for your getaways. We can’t wait to welcome you, your family, and the clever Spencer back for trip number three whenever you're ready!

Best wishes,
