If you’re dreaming of a romantic getaway that combines rustic charm, luxury comfort, and the freedom to bring your furry friend along, then look no further than Hank’s Ranch — a unique adults-only, dog friendly glamping Norfolk retreat set in the heart of the West Norfolk countryside.
At Hank’s Ranch, couples can reconnect with nature, unwind in bespoke Wild West-themed cabins, and experience a glamping break like no other. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a weekend away, our ranch offers a slice of frontier life with all the luxury touches you deserve — and yes, your dog is more than welcome too.
Wild West Luxury Meets Romantic Norfolk Retreat
Tucked away on a peaceful meadow near Boughton Fen, Hank’s Ranch is a one-of-a-kind Norfolk glamping dog friendly escape. Our three handcrafted cabins — The Jail, The General Store, and The Church — are styled in authentic 1850s American frontier decor. Each cabin offers a king-size bed, an en-suite with a tin bucket-style shower, and private outdoor space with fire pits, seating, and unspoiled countryside views.
But this isn’t just themed accommodation — it’s an immersive, relaxing experience. Picture yourselves sipping coffee on the porch as the sun rises over the meadow, the scent of wildflowers in the air, and the distant call of Pablo the peacock echoing across the fields. Each stay includes a generous welcome hamper with fresh bread, butter, jam, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and handmade cowboy chocolates — because romance is in the details.
Why Couples Love Our Norfolk Glamping Dog Friendly Retreat
Hank’s Ranch is designed with couples in mind. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, minimoon, anniversary, birthday surprise or just some time away from screens and stress, our guests consistently say how peaceful, rejuvenating, and special their stay feels.
Here’s why couples keep returning:
1. Privacy and Peace
No kids. No crowds. Just you, your partner, your pup — and the quiet beauty of the Norfolk countryside. Our adults-only policy ensures calm surroundings, while each cabin is spaced for maximum privacy.
2. Romantic Extras
From the wood-fired cowboy hot tub to marshmallow kits, flowers, Prosecco, and indulgent cheese & wine hampers, you can tailor your stay to create the perfect romantic break.
3. Stargazing and Fire Pits
End your evening under Norfolk’s big skies. Snuggle up by the fire pit, toast marshmallows, and gaze at the stars — it’s a simple pleasure that feels magical here.
Your Dog Along for the Adventure
Too often, couples have to choose between a weekend away and leaving their beloved dog behind. Not at Hank’s Ranch.
We’re proud to offer glamping Norfolk dog friendly cabins where your canine companion is not only welcome — they’re spoiled too! Each cabin comes with blankets and dog biscuits, and your pup can enjoy the outdoor space (on a lead, to protect our wildlife — including Pistol Pete the cat and Pablo the peacock).
We welcome up to two medium dogs per cabin, and we’re surrounded by scenic walks, wild meadows, and dog-friendly attractions nearby. Whether it’s a gentle stroll through Thetford Forest or a day trip to the North Norfolk coast, your dog will love this adventure as much as you do.
