The bedrooms were spacious with plenty of room for putting everything. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need, the only problem I had was me being too short to reach the higher cupboards ( maybe a folding step would help for shorter people). The garden was fenced

The welcome basket was appreciated, as was the friendly communication with Mark. The garden was fully enclosed for our 4 legged friends- the only problem was that because the garden was all grass it started to get muddy near the door with them running over the same patch constantly and there was nowhere outside to clean off their paws and so some mud and cut grass was brought into the property although we tried to keep it to a minimum. (we did have a westie with green feet for a couple of days). Squirrel Lodge is in a good location for visiting The Broads and local dog-friendly beaches- Happisburgh being our favourite. Thanks again.
