We had such a good time at Sandy Paws. The sofas and beds were comfy, the kitchen was well equipped. The showers were excellent. There are lots of small shops nearby for essentials, and lots of takeaways for treats. The beautiful beach at Gorleston is only a short walk away, and we were very lucky with the weather. We will definitely be back again!

We enjoyed our stay at sandy paws it was very clean and comfortable The dogs enjoyed their treats however our bottle of wine was empty but it did make us laugh Could do with a bigger and better TV in the lounge and maybe a rug so the dogs nails don't keep clip clopping on the floor Would definitely stay again
