A Dog-Friendly Escape to North Norfolk: Discover Luxury at Worstead Estate
Looking for a holiday that your dog will love just as much as you do? North Norfolk has long been a haven for dog owners, with its expansive beaches, scenic countryside, and dog-welcoming pubs. But if you’re searching for a truly memorable getaway—where luxury meets the outdoors, and your four-legged friend is just as welcome as any guest—look no further than Worstead Estate.
Why Choose Worstead Estate?
Nestled in the heart of the North Norfolk countryside, Worstead Estate offers an exclusive retreat with a collection of beautifully restored, dog-friendly holiday cottages. Each cottage has been thoughtfully designed to blend rustic charm with modern luxury—think cosy log burners, elegant interiors, fully equipped kitchens, and private gardens where your dog can roam safely.
Unlike many accommodations that only tolerate dogs, Worstead Estate welcomes them. Dogs are part of the experience here—whether it's joining you on woodland walks, exploring the estate’s private park, or curling up by the fire after a day of adventure.
