Bursting with cosy charm and a subtle nautical theme that reflects the enchanting surrounding coastline, this quaint Victorian cottage is the ultimate home from home. The serenity of the tide washing over miles of golden sand is just outside your doorstep.

With a roaring wood burner, comfy sofas and a Smart TV, the scene is set for peace and relaxation in the homely lounge, adorned with a subtle nautical theme, reflecting the surrounding coastline. After a long day’s adventure, whip up a delicious feast with all the lovely local produce you’ve foraged in the contemporary, shaker-style kitchen/diner and enjoy precious family time around the dining table. Before bed, soothe tired walking muscles and wash off sandy toes in the impressive walk-in shower upstairs before retreating to either of the well-presented, simply furnished bedrooms that’ll send you soundly to sleep. Soak up your surroundings by dining alfresco in the quaint enclosed courtyard patio, and stargaze way past bedtime.

Lying just south of Great Yarmouth, the pretty riverside village of Gorleston-on-Sea boasts a curved, sandy bay with perfect conditions for windsurfing, surfing and bodyboarding, and an Edwardian theatre with an all-year-round programme. Take a stroll along the promenade, half a mile away, before whiling away the afternoon on a traditional deckchair at one of the beachside cafes and enjoying views over the whole bay. Behind the promenade are several independent shops and some traditional seaside amusements that children will adore discovering. Thrillseekers can head 3 miles along the coast to Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach to ride some impressive rollercoasters and visit Sealife World and the Marina Centre.

A very clean, well-stocked cottage. The stairs are quite steep and the treads quite narrow, so people with difficulty using stairs would be advised to think carefully before booking. The cottage is only a couple of minutes from a superb beach, and two hotels which provide really good meals.
