The long-established Wroxham yard behind Broads Tours, hiring cruisers and day boats and letting waterside cottages. It runs a dog-friendly holiday programme for both boats and cottages, and points out that dogs are not usually allowed on the nature reserves you will pass. A hundred and twenty-five miles of lock-free water starts at the bridge.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The rooms that take dogs, and where they sleep.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
What a night actually costs, so nobody has to ring to find out.
How many dog-friendly rooms, whether they are ground floor, where the dog sleeps.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Four and a half miles there and back, a flat and undemanding two and a quarter hours on the compacted trackbed that runs beside the fifteen-inch Bure Valley Railway for its nine miles between Wroxham and Aylsham. Start at the railway station car park at Hoveton and Wroxham beside the bridge, which is the trail head and has the largest parking in the village; the whole path can be walked one way with a train back if you time it with the timetable. It is traffic-free the entire distance with no stiles and good width for a nervous dog, the Bure is reachable at Belaugh and Coltishall for a drink, and steam trains pass close enough that a noise-shy dog wants a lead.
The big riverside pub on the Hoveton bank at Wroxham bridge, with its own moorings and a terrace over the Bure. Its facilities list names it as dog friendly, and it is the easiest place in Wroxham to eat with a dog after a day-boat trip. Rooms are available, though the pub does not say whether dogs may use them.
Five and a quarter miles in about two and a half hours, dead flat on lanes, oak-lined tracks and the riverbank, out from the boatyards at Wroxham Bridge to the beach and moorings at Salhouse Broad and back through Salhouse village. Park at the Salhouse Broad car park on Lower Street, postcode NR13 6RX, which is pay and display at £3.60 for two hours and £5 all day and sits a ten-minute walk above the water, or use the station car park at Hoveton and Wroxham. Salhouse asks that all dogs are kept under close control and out of the surrounding fields, and on a lead if recall is unreliable or the dog is likely to chase wildfowl; the broad has a genuine shallow sand beach for a swim.
Nobody has written one for Norfolk Broads Direct. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
