Perched in the coastal village of Bacton near the sweeping sandy beach, this beautifully renovated property offers a magical escape to couples and small families. Sleeping four guests in two double bedrooms, it’s perfect for those who love to get away from it all, while having easy access to a wealth of attractions and amenities.

Lovely comfortable quiet cottage, with easy access to the beach. The milk, eggs, crisps and biscuits were a welcome treat. It was nice that the owner Sam kept in touch prior to our arrival and on our departure.

Lovely stylish cottage with all you need. Good location close to beach and broads. Plenty to do in the area including NT houses and wildlife locations. Good garden to relax in too.

A lovely, well equipped little cottage. Comfy beds with cotton linen. Lovely large towels - beach towels were also provided which was a nice touch as was the welcome pack of milk, eggs, biscuits and snacks. The open fire was cosy on chilly March evenings. Central location for a wide range of activities. Lovely clean beach. There is a short cut to tRead morehe beach which unfortunately we didn't discover until the last day of our short break. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Coastguard Cottage. Hide

Lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and a great spot. Our winter stays was warm and cosy. The village has all that you could need, pub, beach, and a couple of nice coffee shops all on the doorstep. Check-in time was listed as 5pm, but we had a message from the owner at about 12 saying it was ready for us - a great bonus.

Very clean, comfortable beds, well equipped though shower was hand-held arrangement above stand-alone bath which was awkward to use. Very good wifi, nice garden, pub with good food, shop and beach short walk away.

We had such a lovely stay! It was a beautiful cottage with a lovely view overlooking the fields. About a 5 minute walk from the beach too. The owner of the property was so kind and attentive also. Couldn't recommend enough!

Cottage is extremely cosy and comfortable. Open fire added to the atmosphere, and decor fab. Heating kept it very warm all day and night. Stairs quite steep and bed in lower bedroom quite low, so not suitable for all. Location perfect for beach access, and shop, pub and a few cafes within walking distance. Plenty of larger towns to visit within 20 Read moremins by car. Highly recommend. Hide

An absolutely charming cottage in a truly delightful area. We parked the car and didnt use it again until we left. Gorgeous beach walks just five minutes from the door. A very comfortable and clean property with very welcoming little touches including fresh milk and eggs. We hope to return for another glorious stay by the beach.
