With an abundance of attractions within reach to suit all ages and tastes there is no shortage of places to go when staying in this pretty Victorian home. For those who enjoy energetic pursuits the well-known Peddars Way can be accessed from the village where a trail of 46 miles is perfect for walkers and cyclists. Nature lovers will find day trips to the Norfolk Broads and RSPB reserves particularly memorable while superb family days out can be found all along the North Norfolk coastline offering traditional seaside fun. Steeped in history the famous St Mary s church at Houghton-on-the-Hill is definitely worth a visit. Anyone with a competitive nature may wish to visit the local go-kart track or for a more sedate pace and retail therapy head into Swaffham or historic City of Norwich. Guests entering this beautiful detached house will initially find the porch ideal for coats and shoes or wiping down muddy paws before stepping into the entrance hall. From here guests will be greeted by two separate lounges ideal for larger parties who wish to find some time for themselves. Both lounges have comfortable sofas one with Smart TV s to help relax and recharge after spending a day exploring the local area. One of the lounges also features an open fire enabling guests to create a cosy atmosphere and the other has one side of the dual facing wood burner. The kitchen/diner offers guests the chance to cook up a feast with an Aga style gas oven and hob fridge freezer and microwave. There is a handy utility cupboard in the kitchen/diner which has a dishwasher and washing machine. The dining area has a table and chairs to seat all and the other side of the dual facing wood burner providing a perfect backdrop to celebrate any occasion.

The Glebe House North Pickenham is a real stay in Houghton, and it is here so you know it exists. But we have not been able to find a dog policy for it that we would stand behind, so we are not going to guess at one. No verdict, no stamp, no date.
If this is your business, tell us whether dogs are welcome and we will put a stamp on it — free, and it stays free. Tell us your dog policy. Want the whole page — photos, prices, your own words? Claim this listing.
If you have been and you know the answer, tell us and we will go and confirm it.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Cafe Eden is a place to eat in Houghton. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
George and Dragon is a pub on The Street, Houghton. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
Cumbria Wildlife Trust's northern office sits on a small organic working farm two miles north of Carlisle, named after a beck that runs down to the Eden, and the public and permissive paths through it are open to walk. The circuit takes in the wildlife garden, boardwalks across the wet ground, pasture and a strip of woodland, and it is short and level enough for a dog that has had enough of pavements. Cattle graze the pasture as part of the management, which is why the lead rule exists rather than being decorative. Houghton Road buses from Carlisle stop near the entrance.
Nobody has written one for The Glebe House North Pickenham. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
Know one we have missed?
Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
