This was our 3rd stay at the Crib and it was just wonderful! The feel of this house is so homely and everything makes you feel very welcome. We also love the village of Happisburgh.

We had a lovely few days here with the dogs. The wooden floors and leather sofas made it much easier to be in than other dog friendly properties we have used. It was really spacious and had many useful things so we could pack light. The owner was super friendly when booking and left a lovely welcome pack. We will certainly be booking again for another stay.

We’ve been to The Crib many times and appreciate the dog friendly welcome. It’s always clean and the owners continue to make improvements notably a new kitchen this year. Our rescue dog settles well and it’s extremely comfortable for the humans too.

Lovely cottage, very well equipped and to a high standard - it is a super set up and great for humans and canines alike. The owners, Managers and Housekeeper do a great job in terms of administration and maintenance to ensure we had a great holiday. Lovely welcome pack, nice touch. Happisburgh is a nice place, lots of good walks and not too busy.

Helen and Chris have thought of everything you could possibly need for a truly dog holiday, the garden at the Crib is totally secure so you can relax knowing that your dog's are safe, the cottage itself is beautiful and the welcome pack we received was incredible thank you Helen, the Crib is short walk along the beach road to the dog friendly Happisburgh beach, Hill House pub is also a very short walk away and does lovely food, We loved so much we are booking for next year

We loved this cottage so much that we booked again for next year as soon as we got home! We took our XL bully so it was very important that the cottage and garden were secure and safe. There were gates which we could lock with our own padlocks and the property was secure. Our dog is noise and dog reactive but we found with quiet music on he ignored any sounds from the pedestrians and road outside. The cottage was clean, bright, airy and beautifully furnished. The garden is big and well kept. The owners were very easily contactable and responsive to messages. The whole experience was great. We loved it!

This was our fifth time at "The Crib"... whats to say? We love it there, its a perfect house and garden for us and our three dogs, who spent their time patrolling and chasing each-other about. The kitchen and the equipment are a great size, and the three bedrooms are comfortable and nicely "doggy decorated" Its a great place!

We spent a wonderful week at The Crib and felt instantly at home from the moment we walked through the garden gate - so much so that we genuinely didn't want to leave. The huge garden was the first thing that greeted us, beautifully laid out with trees, shrubs and plants and rounded off with a sunny patio and garden furniture to make the most of the wonderful week of weather we were lucky enough to enjoy. We shared the garden with a lovely fox and a family of rabbits who kept the dogs on their paws with their daily bunny patrol! The house itself is wonderfully decorated throughout with so many quirky pieces of art dotted around that showcase the owners' love of dogs and the local area. Being over 100 years old, the thick walls kept it nice and cool throughout the day and the large lounge with its comfy sofas and armchairs was a perfect spot to relax and chill after a day of exploring beach and countryside. Location was perfect and a short stroll to the wonderful beach at the end of the road where the dogs could run for miles and splash about in the sea. The village has everything we needed too from the wonderful Fair Maiden fish shop where we stocked up on locally caught crab, to a friendly and very dog welcoming pub. All in walking distance - what more could you want?! The welcome hamper was incredible and so generous with loads of treats for us as well as the locally produced Nero's Kitchen dog biscuits for the dogs. Everything the dogs could possibly need was there from throws to towels to spare leads, holiday tags, bowls etc. And the hot and cold outside tap was very welcome to hose down sandy paws along with the great supply of dog shampoo - which came in very handy when one of ours decided to cover themselves from head to tail in fox poo! The Crib really is a home from home, a haven to relax and unwind in and most definitely gets the paw stamp of approval. We can't wait to come back.

We stayed at the crib in happisburgh at the end of July, it was our first holiday in norfolk, & could not have asked for a better place to be based. Great cottage with a huge garden for our dog & children to play in. All you could possibly need & more provided for humans & dogs too. Lots of beautiful dog friendly beaches nearby, plenty of places to eat & a very comfortable cottage to go back to at the end of a busy day.

We had a great week at the Crib with our 3 hounds. The house was perfect for us and the dogs loved the extra comfy dog beds that were provided. The house was full of greyhound and lurcher paintings and ornaments so we really felt at home. Helen provided a very generous welcome pack and was on hand for any questions. We were the first people to stay after the new kitchen was fitted which has been done to a high standard and was very well equipped. Thanks for a lovely week away.

This was our second stay and The Crib was as lovely as we remembered- Fab garden for the dogs, cosy, quiet and just what we needed after the madness of Christmas. Welcome pack was fantastic and the dogs absolutely loved the Orvis dog beds - nothing but 5 star for them throughout the cottage. Both Sue and the owner Helen were great sorting out minor issues quickly, one caused by us!

We’ve stayed at many ERC cottages over the yrs we’ve been coming but this was our first time at the Crib . From the moment we entered we felt at home , such a well equipped, cosy cottage & so comfortable, the beds was like sleeping on fluffy clouds . The hamper that was left for us was amazing & very much appreciated by all . Our girl enjoyed the garden along with the lovely selection of dogs beds that are in the cottage when we returned from our beach outings to relaxing in front of the roaring fire . ( Bliss ) ! Would we return again ? Already booked . Thank you Sue & Helen for making our NYE trip so magical.
