We were very excited to arrive along a quiet track next to Hickling Broad to find a wonderful, traditional and spacious house right next to the broads.
We had such a lovely welcome with a tasty homemade cake waiting for us.
The huge secure garden was a real hit with our dogs. They did a lot of partying in the garden, mainly chasing birds. And then a lot of snoozing by the open fire. The owner, Jane, was very caring and popped by with extra wood and to check we were warm and comfortable.
The kitchen larder was well stocked with lots of crockery and glasses. Plus, two teapots!
Red Roofs is a real gem of a property. If you want a traditional get away from it all type of living experience with wildlife on your doorstep and fabulous sunrises and sunsets, then Red Roofs is perfect. .

Red Roofs is a large character house. Very spacious with comfortable beds in airy large rooms. The gardens back & front are huge. The back garden is a dogs delight & perfect for all breeds of dogs playing ball & sniffy games.
I have never seen such a large amount of goodies for humans including enormous sponge cake with the tastiest of jams. This house is perfect for family / friends meet up.
Our favourite pub The Grey Hound was easy walk from the house except this time of year not always serving food but the Pleasure boat inn is of equal distance right onto Hickling Broad lake so you could walk off your meal.
Sea Palling is a very short drive so the dogs & humans can get their beach fix with a great coffee & food at Beach Rock cafe after your walk.

The cottage is lovely and thoughtfully decorated and but even though it is big we did find it difficult to find space to put too large crates next to each other which ended up in the already quite small kitchen. There were also some stains on the lounge and main bedroom carpet which were a bit yuk. We spent quite a long time trying to log onto the wifi which we later found out from the owner wasnt working so we mostly used our personal data to access the internet and operate the television and my husband had to buy additional data for this purposes. On the upside the dogs loved the garden and despite the storm Amy throwing the worst at us had a great time. The area is lovely and the boathouses very quaint. We probably wouldnt book again as in hind sight I prefer a propery which has mostly hard floors rather than carpets.
