How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 101 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.2/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet-friendly summary
The Annex is a self-contained one-room stay on a quiet road in Briston, in the middle of north Norfolk, and it works well as a base for a night or two with a dog. It has its own parking space at the front and its own small walled courtyard, so there is somewhere to let a dog out that is not a shared garden or a corridor full of other guests.
Dogs are welcome, and the owner keeps dogs of her own, which shows in how relaxed the arrangement is. Guests arriving with dogs describe an easy check-in and no fuss about it. Parties have brought a pair of small dogs without difficulty, so the room copes with more than one.
The room is better equipped than its size suggests: a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster and coffee machine, with a generous continental breakfast left in, plus a comfortable bed and a good bathroom. The road is quiet with no traffic noise, and blackout blinds and fans are available if you need them.
The main limitation is practical rather than pet-related. There is no kitchen sink, so washing up has to happen in the bathroom, and with limited seating the room suits short stays better than a week. Briston sits close to Holt, Melton Constable and the north Norfolk coast, so most proper walking is a short drive rather than out of the door.
Best suited to a couple with one or two small to medium dogs looking for a tidy, private base for exploring north Norfolk. It holds a 4.5/5 paw rating.
