Pet-friendly summary
Binks Bungalow is one of the more comfortable dog-friendly lets on this stretch of the Norfolk coast, and it earns a 4.8/5 paw rating. The combination that makes it work is simple: a fully enclosed rear garden, everything on one level, and an owner who clearly plans for dogs rather than merely permitting them.
The garden is the feature guests with dogs mention first. It is secure, described as big enough for a game of fetch without being unmanageable, and it opens onto a patio and decking where people sit while the dog pothers about. Being a bungalow helps too, particularly for an older or arthritic dog that struggles with stairs.
The welcome itself is thorough. Arriving dogs have found treats, toys, bowls and a dog bed already laid out, which removes a good chunk of what you would otherwise pack. The property takes up to two dogs, asks that they are booked in before you arrive, and does not want them left alone in the bungalow. A charge of £50 per dog applies if the place needs extra cleaning for hair or mess, so it is worth checking what else is payable when you book. Communication with the owner is consistently described as quick and helpful from booking through to departure.
Inside, the bungalow is spotless and generously equipped, with a proper kitchen that makes staying in easy on an evening when you would rather not leave the dog. The street is quiet and residential, the beach is within about a twenty-minute walk, and there is a supermarket close by. Sunsets over the Wash are visible from the decking, which is a Hunstanton speciality since it is one of the few east-coast towns that faces west.
There is little to hold against it from a dog's point of view. The practical points guests raise are cosmetic ones inside the house rather than anything affecting a pet. The main thing to check before travelling is seasonal dog restrictions on the beaches, which vary along this coast and change through the year. For a couple or a small family with one or two dogs who want a secure garden and a short walk to sand, it is an easy recommendation.
