Four Dog-Friendly Sites Across Norfolk, UK
mYminiBreak operates four sites across Norfolk, UK — on the coast, in ancient woodland, beside forest lakes and deep in Breckland pine forest. Every one of them welcomes dogs as full guests.
Hunstanton — The Coastal Site
mYminiBreak Hunstanton sits near the North Norfolk coast, within easy walking distance of dog-friendly beaches at Old Hunstanton and Holme-next-the-Sea. Both beaches permit dogs year-round — Hunstanton main beach restricts dogs between 10 April and 31 October, but Old Hunstanton and Holme have no seasonal restrictions at all.
Dogs can walk the coast path directly from the site, explore the dunes at Holme, and cool off in the shallow North Sea water. The site looks out over Wild Ken Hill — the rewilding estate that has become one of Norfolk’s most exciting nature destinations, where guests regularly spot red kites and white-tailed eagles overhead.
Holme-next-the-Sea — The Nature Reserve Site
mYminiBreak Holme sits adjacent to Holme Dunes National Nature Reserve — one of Norfolk’s most pristine coastal habitats. Dogs on leads are welcome in most of the reserve throughout the year. The beach at Holme is wide, wild and one of the least crowded on the entire North Norfolk coast.
Holt Woodland — The Lakeside Site
mYminiBreak Holt is a woodland and lakeside glamping site set 12 miles inland from the North Norfolk coast, near the market town of Holt. Shaded pitches, a private lake and acres of woodland walks from the tent door make this the perfect setting for dogs who love to explore. Things to do in Holt, North Norfolk includes recommended dog walks and dog-friendly cafes in the area.
Thetford Forest — The Forest Site
mYminiBreak Thetford is set within the Breckland landscape near Thetford Forest — 47,000 acres of dog-walking paradise.

This is the site for dogs who love long forest runs and wide open space without a lead in sight.
