This rural bolthole is in the quaint village of Great Bircham, surrounded by the beautiful Norfolk countryside. The property sleeps four guests, making it ideal for couples and small families, and has a choice of dining areas both inside and in the large, tranquil garden. The bustling village of Burnham Market is 8 miles away, and nearby attractions include Norfolk Lavender and Sandringham Estate (both within 8 miles).

The countryside retreat has been tastefully decorated and furnished, with a neutral colour scheme, elegant furniture and carefully chosen artwork and accessories. Enter the property into the spacious kitchen/lounge, which boasts far-reaching views across open countryside. Spend time here, preparing meals in the sleek kitchen area and relaxing on the comfortable sofas next to the cosy wood burner. Just off the kitchen/lounge is a separate dining room which, again, benefits from fabulous rural views. A stylish shower room rounds off the ground floor. The two relaxing bedrooms are set in the eaves on the first floor, one of which has an en-suite shower room. Please note, both bedrooms have restricted head height in some areas, and there’s also a snug area on the landing with a TV and a sofa bed that can accommodate a further two guests. Outside, a haven of tranquillity awaits in the enclosed garden, where you’ll discover a large lawn, mature trees and shrubs, and a decked area with furniture and a BBQ for outdoor dining.

You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to nearby beaches. Heading north, you’ll soon reach Brancaster (7.5 miles), with its miles upon miles of unspoilt, golden sand. Alternatively, head to the west coast and the Victorian resort of Hunstanton (9.5 miles) which has a sand and shingle beach, long promenade, and traditional seaside shops and amusements. For a spot of retail therapy, journey to the picturesque village of Burnham Market. The olde-worlde village is full of character cottages and historic buildings, and is also home to over 30 independent shops, boutiques, and galleries.

This cottage was fantastic, a great location as fairly close to some of my favourite places in Norfolk Holkam, Burnham Market and Brancaster. A great cottage for star gazing, there is no light pollution so a few nights we got to sit out and sea the stars really clearly :-) Would highly recommend this property.

This is a lovely cottage in a great location, just 15-20 minutes from several beaches and a great base to explore the Norfolk coast. The entrance/driveway is shared with the owners and their house is next door but they give you privacy and sent some useful recommendations. There's a great secure garden for dogs though the owners have two dogs whichRead more do like to bark when in the garden which is adjacent (like mine is, so no complaints but something for others to be aware of!).

The property is deceptively large, well finished and very comfortable. At the end of a track, the accommodation is quiet and ideal for a quiet break, whilst only a few minutes drive from Snettisham, Brancaster etc. there are many pub restaurants nearby and we were lucky in that the owner gave us several pointers as to where to eat. Best to book forRead more meals as the restaurants were very busy. Lovely evenings spent on terrace relaxing and watching the bats. Hide

As said by earlier guests, the garden furniture and decking could do with an upgrade, but otherwise all was fine.

Lovely location, lots of wildlife to see and very quiet. Cottage needs upgrading in places and garden areas/furniture need a tidy. Facilities ok, but towels and bedding need replacing. A small welcome pack would have been good, never been anywhere before without a pint of milk left for that first cuppa!

Good location, the owner who lives next door is very helpful. But work is needed in tidying up the garden furniture and immediate approach to the cottage.

Overall we had a lovely holiday, a great location and Richard came and said hello and was very friendly.
