Pooch Friendly

Greenbanks’ central location in Norfolk, means your pooch has the choice of both the countryside and the beautiful coastline! Thetford Forest – Holkham – Titchwell – and many more!

The Hotel staff love to greet furry visitors, along with Ollie and Rufus, the resident Hungarian Vizslas (if appropriate).

Well behaved dogs, are welcome to stay in the room whilst you dine in the restaurant, enjoy your Norfolk breakfast, or take a dip in the pool. All of the dog friendly rooms are on the ground floor and have walk in showers, for after those muddy fun days! Greenbanks accepts up to 2 dogs per room and charges £10 per dog per night; please specify at time of booking if you wish to bring your pooch, as it will determine which room is allocated.

The lake makes for a good morning stroll, before heading out further afield for the day. Along with your reservation confirmation, you will receive a pdf. with information of the Norfolk Coastline and beaches; including those with no dog restrictions.
