Dog‑Friendly B&B Cottage Rooms at The Dairy Farm | Heacham, Hunstanton | Rustic Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast by the Beach
Tucked away just behind the dunes of Heacham South Beach, on the west coast of Norfolk, you’ll find Norfolk Accommodation with mYminiBreak – a once‑working dairy farm now lovingly transformed into a relaxed coastal B&B retreat.
As you turn off the lane and roll gently down into our sheltered farmyard, the road disappears, the sky opens up, and you’re greeted by the quiet of the Norfolk countryside and the distant sound of the sea. Our dog‑friendly B&B cottage rooms blend the charm of a rural farmhouse stay with the convenience of a bed and breakfast by the beach, just a 2‑minute walk from Heacham Beach and a short drive from Hunstanton.
Here, you wake to birdsong, soft morning light over the courtyard, and the promise of a country‑style breakfast before wandering down to the sand with your four‑legged friend. It’s a place to slow down, switch off, and enjoy simple coastal living on the Norfolk coast.

Former Dairy Farm Turned Coastal Retreat
Before becoming a Norfolk holiday retreat, this was a busy working dairy farm. Today, the tractors and churns are gone, but the country‑farm character remains in every corner:
Exposed beams, sloping ceilings and rustic details tell the story of the old farm buildings
A laid‑back, rural atmosphere encourages you to slow down and simply enjoy being by the coast
The courtyard setting, open skies and fresh sea air create a peaceful, “tucked‑away” feel
Because we sit dropped below the road, you feel wonderfully hidden away – sheltered from the sea breeze and shielded from traffic and passers‑by. There’s a real sense of being away from it all, yet in just a few minutes you can be:
Wandering through Heacham village or down to Heacham South or North Beach
Enjoying a classic day out in Hunstanton (around 3 miles away)
Exploring woodlands, coastal walks and royal estates such as Sandringham
It’s a Norfolk farmhouse B&B that still feels like a little working‑landscape hideaway, right by the Norfolk coast.
