Enjoyed our time at the cottage. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. The garden however is complete separate to the cottage and is accessed by a narrow grassy path. It is not lit and difficult to see where you are going in the dark. We did take a lantern with us which was very useful. The are is lovely and near to Sheringham, which was lovely.

As a cottage the Hoot was acceptable but as a Dog Friendly cottage it missed the mark, with the (excellent) garden 150 yards away it was not at all convenient for us and our dogs.
