Pet-friendly summary
Happydaze is a privately let caravan on Beach Haven Caravan Park at Bacton, a couple of minutes from one of the quieter stretches of the north Norfolk coast. For dog owners the appeal is simple: a self-contained van with its own terrace, a beach at the end of the road, and no reception desk or shared corridors to manage.
Up to two pets can stay. Guests travelling with a pair of small dogs report no difficulty, and several mention that they were not charged extra for the dog, though that is not published as a formal policy so it is worth confirming when you book.
The owners come up repeatedly in reviews as the reason the stay went smoothly: clear communication before arrival, an easy handover, and small touches on the day such as a welcome bottle left in the van. The caravan itself is described as clean, well equipped and genuinely a home from home, with the terrace giving useful extra outdoor space when the weather cooperates.
Bacton is a low-key village rather than a resort, which is rather the point. The beach is long and sandy and stays quiet outside high summer, and the coast path runs towards Happisburgh in one direction and Mundesley in the other for longer walks. Bear in mind it is a caravan park, so dogs need to be under control around other pitches, and the terrace is outdoor seating rather than a secure garden.
With a 4.7/5 paw rating, Happydaze suits couples with one or two small-to-medium dogs who want a straightforward Norfolk coast break within walking distance of the sand.
