Amazing

Absolutely amazing. By far the best cottage we have ever stayed at. Really good quality and everything you would ever need. A beautiful welcome pack for humans and dogs and very well decorated for Christmas. The large garden was brilliant and the additional 2 acre private paddock was definitely a massive bonus.

Simply perfect

What an amazing place to stay. Light, airy, roomy, clean, and well- equipped. I could go on. We stayed with our 2 dogs and could not have felt more welcome and at home. The addition of a secure dog paddock was amazing, and all of the extra touches specifically for our dogs made the Carpenters shop, by far, the best dog friendly property we have ever stayed in. We will definitely be back and have already recommended it to all of our friends.

A fabulous short stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Carpenters Shop which is a beautiful property, quirky, with lovely nods to its past and would highly recommend it to others. We went with our two labs and our yorkie cross. The house is totally dog focused and so well equipped it has everything for your dogs comfort and the secure garden and paddock were perfect for their exercise and fun ( a proper dogs holiday as well as ours) . Our daughter and her partner joined us during our stay , we barbecued and went out to The Kings Arms which has amazing food. We felt the house catered for our every need and we had the best time. Can’t wait to go back !!!!

A wonderful place to stay

We have just returned from The Carpenters Shop and have already booked to return next year. It is beautifully laid out, comfortable and equipped with everything you could need. The garden is spacious and the paddock is a lovely space to use when you just want a play with the dogs or maybe some search games or training. There are several lovely beaches nearby, Winterton was our favourite. Tacons farm shop has lovely fresh veg, meat, cheese, homemade pies, bread and cakes. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Nippy Chippy food van serves from the car park opposite. Food can be pre ordered and is freshly cooked. If your dogs are people reactive, the bungalow next door overlooks the garden, but the occupants are friendly. A busy road runs past it but once inside, it doesn't cause a disturbance. We can't wait to go back next year.

A home we'd love to live in forever

Carpenters Shop is just the nicest property. On arrival immaculately clean and tidy, everything we could possibly need right on hand. Top of the range cooking facilities, Ninja included! The upside down living was perfect and the lift to get food supplies upstairs on arrival was welcomed and loved by the 12 year old in our party. Parking a doddle and access to the garden spot on. Great location for exploring this part of Norfolk, well furnished with nice shops and pubs nearby. The 2.5 acre orchard/paddock was the highlight for us and our 13 dogs - so nice to be able to use this as well as our daily walks and ensure they had as good a holiday as we humans did. One of the very few holiday homes I've stayed in that I'd love to live in forever - was sad to leave and hope to be back. Don't hesitate on booking this fabulous, quirky, well set out and thoughtful property.

Winter stay

A great property for those with physical disabilities thanks to the lift. What let's this down as perfect is the low toilets with zero hand rails etc. So for those with physical disabilities who struggle to rise bringing a raiser or similar is essential. We experienced 4 seasons in one week, rain, sun, gales and snow and ice. The paddock, great, we didn't need to drive in the snow and ice. The garden, great, for those with reactive dogs the garden, whilst secure, looks openly onto the next doors drive and front door meaning dogs are seeing people coming and going which was triggering so supervision was needed whilst the dogs were outside. We had a few issues with repairs shower handle, broken blind, no working tin opener which took 7 days upon reporting for someone to attend and supply ones and check the issues. The location is great, although, the property photos made it seem like it was set back from the road but in reality it's right on a busy road so care needs to be taken getting dogs in and out. I would definitely recommend this property and book again bringing equipment needed to mitigate the low toilets. The only word of warning to note is keep the windows closed on Tuesday evenings, we had looked forward to sampling the chips from the chip can across the road but the smell of the old oil and fish was not appealing.

Such a pleasant stay

The carpenters house was a great find. So well equipped and such a nice place for our dogs. They loved the paddock and exploring the long grass.

A perfect place to stay

Our stay at The Carpenters Shop was amazing. Although quirky with the upside down living it worked perfectly for a multi generation family holiday. The dogs (& humans!) loved the garden and the paddock was great fun too with the pathways cut through the long grass. Conveniently located for all that Norfolk has to offer together with the bonus of a pub a few doors down. The house had everything you needed (& more) including a welcome basket of local produce. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Multi generation holiday and 2 dogs

The house had everything we could wish for and the lift meant the house was accessible to all. The tasteful decorations nodded to the buildings history and gave a unique feel. The attached paddock was well kept with pathways cut into the long grass and the pet beds provided were a hit with our dogs. During our stay we had a minor issue which was dealt with quickly.

Excellent for dogs!

Our family of 4 adults plus 2 dogs had an excellent few days. This was our third visit to the house. Beautiful sunshine for 4 days. Everything you could possibly need in the house. Very comfortable The paddock was fantastic for our reactive dog. He roamed about freely.. Lots of places to visit locally. The food at The Kings Arms nearby was excellent . Very friendly people

Couldn't have asked for more!

Everything was 1st class from the dog crate provided to the fresh milk, coffee and tea in the welcome pack - very welcome after a 5 hour drive up from the West Country! We wanted to walk and we could get to all the furthest points of the county within 1.5 hours drive - so we were very centrally placed. The local eateries recommended were wonderful and the village walks provided, helped us to get our bearings on the 1st day. The accommodation was suitable for everyone and the paddock at the back with walkways cut through the orchard was lovely. We will tell everyone one we know to visit.

For & against

The property sits back on a busy road which can’t be heard from inside. Very comfortable beds & sofas & a well equipped kitchen. We couldn’t use the paddock at the rear of the property as the grass has been left to grow for the wildlife with tracks cut in but unsuitable for our small dachshunds the grass hadn’t been cut in the garden for a couple of weeks or so & looked uncared for. The oil fuelled boiler had a strong smell of fumes which is next to one of the bedrooms this was mentioned to the company that manages the holiday let but the reply was that they all smell like that. The washing machine had a broken piece inside the drum & lots of black mould in the door seal & drawer. It’s a shame these points let the property down as a little more attention to detail would have made our stay more enjoyable.
