Take a break at this charming seaside escape on the North Norfolk coast and you’ll love its nautical decor, brightly lit rooms and oasis-style garden. Less than a mile from your doorstep you’ll find the seafront and Victorian resort of Hunstanton which offers something for all ages, from coastal walks and amusements to seal spotting boat trips.

Welcoming you into the property is the cosy living room, equipped with a wood burner for the winter months and a sumptuous corner sofa where you can sink in to watch a film. The room is tastefully styled, taking inspiration from the surrounding location with handpicked trinkets to ensure you feel immediately at home. Adjoining the lounge is the kitchen/diner which enjoys wooden floors and all-white interiors. The windows and patio doors light up the space with an airy feel, creating a lovely spot for mealtimes all through the day. Both bedrooms are located on the first floor, starting with the elegant master bedroom, furnished with a king-size bed and calming colours to help you get a good night’s rest. Bedroom two is a fun room, ideally suited to children featuring a set of twin beds and bunk beds in cool coastal colourways. Outside, the garden is small but perfectly formed with quirky seating where you can sit and sip your morning coffee whilst listening to the birds.

Avid walkers can join a stretch of the Norfolk Coast Path, travelling towards Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve or RSPB Snettisham, both of which are idyllic spots to stop off for a picnic. There are a number of exquisite historic houses to visit in the local area, including Sandringham Estate (10 miles) and Holkham Hall (15 miles), which offers a look into the past with beautifully manicured gardens for a relaxing afternoon stroll.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location. The accommodation is clean and comfortable, with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. A welcome pack on arrival is an added bonus. Plenty of good restaurants within easy reach. A short walk to the beach, where we saw amazing views of the sunset. Would definitely recommend this property.

A lovely, comfortable holiday cottage. Everything was clean with all the items you need for a good stay. The small patio with seating would be nice in warmer weather. The location is really good for local amenities - a stone's throw from Caley Hotel- literally across the road. We had a good meal there. Not much further and the Lodge Hotel is also gRead moreood for food and drinks. Highly recommend the Old Town beach cafe - the food, location and ambiance is excellent. The beach in is wonderful.

We had a lovely week and were very comfortable and happy staying at Sleepy Gull. An added bonus was being close to the bus stop for the Coastliner bus between Wells-next-the-Sea and Fakenham

Homely modern cottage, and convenient position. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Full Sky TV a welcome bonus, as was nice welcome pack. Our second visit, and our family have visited as well. When next in the area hope to return again.

Warm and welcoming holiday home. Great location for the beach, eating out and buses up and down the coast. Hunstanton has it all, from busy seaside to quiet areas such as Old Hunstanton.

A very convenient location for the north coast wildlife areas, while being within a few minutes of the shops in Hunstanton by car. House is comfortable and warm with all the usual facilities. Everything works well, except the very low flow/pressure in the bathroom washbasin hot tap. We have been coming to Sleepy Gull for years and it has never beenRead more fixed despite reporting it regularly, as have others. Can this be sorted out, please? Hide
