You could pack half the house for a holiday with your dogs…

Or you could come to Saretta. 🐾🌊

Over time, we’ve built up quite a collection of useful bits and pieces to make holidays with dogs that little bit easier.

At Saretta you’ll find:

🐾 Dog crates
🐾 Dog buggies
🐾 A full toy hamper with choices for all
🐾 Raised feeders, bowls & water bottles
🐾 Long lines, flexi leads & spare leads
🐾 Drying coats & plenty of dog towels
🐾 Cool mats
🐾 Lick mats, puzzle feeders & slow feeders
🐾 Grooming bits & a doggy first-aid kit
🐾 Sofa steps/ramp for shorter legs
🐾 Secure bike storage in Dog HQ
🐾 And space for up to FIVE dogs — with no extra dog charge

Then, for the humans: two king bedrooms, off-road parking, a well-equipped kitchen, an open fire for cosy evenings and Sea Palling beach around a five-minute walk away. 🌊

We know every dog — and every dog holiday — is different, so the aim has always been simple:

Make it easy to arrive, unpack… and get on with enjoying Norfolk. 💙

What’s the one thing you always end up packing for your dog when you go away?

Some treats are just too good not to shout about twice… 🍬💙

If you’ve stayed at Saretta, there’s a good chance you’ve already discovered The Fudge Lady tucked into your welcome basket.

We love being able to include something made locally, especially when it comes from a small independent Norfolk business.

And, frankly, arriving on holiday to find fudge waiting for you feels like a pretty decent start to the week. 😁

And if you decide you simply can’t go home without a second batch — we completely understand. 😂 You can pick up more locally from The Shack, Grove Cottage, Irstead Road, Neatishead, Norwich, NR12 8BJ.

Not in Norfolk? There’s a postal service too, so the fudge doesn’t necessarily have to end when the holiday does. 📦🍬

So this week’s Saturday Shout-Out is a return visit to one of our local favourites — The Fudge Lady

Small business, locally made, and very happily part of the Saretta welcome. 💙

One walk. Two completely different sides of Norfolk. 🐾🌾🌊

Start beside one of Norfolk’s most recognisable landmarks at Horsey Windpump, then head out through the wide-open grazing marshes towards the dunes and coast.

The National Trust’s Windpump-to-beach walk is around 3 miles / 4.8km, taking roughly 2 hours, with grassy tracks, marshland, dunes and beach along the way — and you may even spot some of Horsey’s famous seals. 🦭

🐕 Dogs are welcome, but keep them on leads or under close control around livestock and give the seals plenty of space.

🚗 Parking:
National Trust Horsey Windpump car park
Horsey, Great Yarmouth
NR29 4EE

Paths here can get muddy and sections of the route occasionally close, so it’s worth checking the latest National Trust walking information before you set off.

A rather lovely Wednesday Walkies option when you fancy swapping the usual beach stroll for a little bit of Broads and coast in the same outing. 💙

Dog friendly… or properly dog friendly? 🐾

One of the things that makes us happiest when we read the Saretta guest book is seeing how often guests mention just how welcome their dogs feel here.

A few recent favourites…

“You truly know the meaning of the words ‘dog welcome’.”

“It’s so lovely to be able to relax in a proper dog friendly place.”

“Dogs are so well catered for. You really only need to bring their food. Everything else is provided.”

“You have thought of everything for the dogs — we brought 4!”

And that is exactly what we want Saretta to be.

Not somewhere dogs are simply tolerated, but somewhere they are genuinely part of the holiday too. 🐶💙

With dog beds, bowls, towels, buggies, drying robes, crates, toys, treats and a secure garden, we try to make life as easy as possible for both dogs and their humans.

Because when the dogs are happy and settled, everyone gets to relax a little more. 🐾

Saretta sleeps 4, welcomes up to 5 dogs free (more by arrangement), and dogs are welcome throughout. Sea Palling beach is just a 5-minute walk away, with local amenities close at hand & open all year round too.

Fast forward a few months…

A Norfolk Pause between one year and the next 🌊........

Your summer holiday feels like a distant memory. The darker evenings have arrived, the Christmas rush has been and gone and now you’re in that funny little space between one year and the next.

You’ve hosted, travelled, shopped, cooked, socialised, eaten too much, spent too much… and generally December-ed yourself into submission.

Then you pack a bag, put the dogs in the car and head to the Norfolk coast.

No itinerary.

Long beach walks with the dogs. Sandy paws. Sea air. Coffee. Books. Maybe a dog-friendly pub lunch.

Back to Saretta as the light fades. Dogs snoozing. Feet up. Glass of wine by the open fire.

And somewhere in amongst it all, a little space to reflect.

What was good about this year?
What wasn’t?
What do you want more of next year?
What are you happy to leave behind?

No resolutions. No pressure to reinvent yourself. Just a little time and space for you and your dogs to slow down, breathe out and reset before stepping into a new year.

🐾 Sleeps 4
🐾 Up to 5 dogs stay free
🌊 3-night minimum stay
🍽️ Local pubs, shops and amenities remain open over the winter

Our New Year break is available to book now.

📣 Saturday Shoutout: Smallsticks Café Happisburgh ☕🐾

This week's shoutout takes us to Cart Gap, Happisburgh — and a lovely little spot to add to your Norfolk list.

Smallsticks Café is a family-run café tucked away on farmland just a short stroll from Cart Gap beach, making it rather perfectly placed for combining two of our favourite things… a good dog walk and something delicious afterwards! 🐕🌊☕

The menu is packed with home-cooked breakfasts and lunches, homemade cakes and plenty of locally sourced produce — including crab and lobster landed at Cart Gap and eggs and potatoes from their own farm.

🐾 And what about the dogs?

Dogs aren't permitted inside the café, but they are very welcome in the enclosed rear garden, where there are also covered huts offering a little shelter from the Norfolk weather.

We think this sounds like a rather lovely Saretta morning:

🌊 Head to Cart Gap from Sea Palling, enjoying a lovely beach walk with the dogs
🐾 Work up an appetite in the sea air
☕ Then wander over to Smallsticks for coffee, breakfast, lunch or perhaps a slice of cake

You'll even get views across the farmland towards Happisburgh Lighthouse while you're there. ❤️

📍 Cart Gap Road, Happisburgh, NR12 0QL (if you'd prefer to drive there)

Another lovely independent Norfolk business to pop on your list for your next stay at Saretta.

A little Norfolk pause 🌾....

It doesn’t have to be a famous view.

Sometimes it’s just a quiet path, sunshine through the trees and grasses moving in the breeze.

The sort of place you’d probably walk straight past if you were in a hurry.

Good job we’re not. 💚
