Take a break in the peaceful countryside of Norfolk and stay in this traditional Carrstone period cottage situated on the coast road leading you to all North Norfolk villages, beaches and attractions within the matter of minutes. This typical Carrstone cottage in this lovely part of the Royal Norfolk coast, that is full of character, refurbished to a high standard and makes a fabulous holiday home for friends, families and larger gatherings to enjoy.  The large garden features varying levels and offers space to let off steam for young and old alike.  The house is a pleasurable place for relaxing, with great beaches and Ringstead Downs on the doorstep, don't forget to bring your four legged friend so the whole family can enjoy this fantastic part of Norfolk. Top End Cottages sleeps eight guests comfortably. So that smaller groups can also enjoy this lovely property there are discounts available on selected low season weeks. 

You’ll feel right at home as soon as you step inside and put your feet up on the sofa in the reading room/hallway, admiring the warm wooden floors and characterful exposed beams. Whip up some home-cooked treats in the kitchen/dining room and then settle down for the evening in the lounge. Here, you can pop some tunes on the Bluetooth speakers or relax beside the crackling wood burner with a film on the TV. As well as a separate WC, there is also an en-suite double bedroom on the ground floor, while the remaining bedrooms and family bathroom are on the first floor. Choose between a master king-size which sits adjacent to the bathroom, an en-suite double, and an en-suite twin. Outside, the garden is a real spectacle, with a beautiful patio area equipped with an outdoor dining set for up to eight to enjoy. Beyond this, some steps lead up to a gravelled part of the garden which falls to the lawn and provides a perfect space for a variety of activities on sunny days.

Ringstead is a hidden prize tucked slightly inland from the Royal Norfolk coast just waiting to be discovered. With houses in the village from the 16th Century and beyond, it is an attractive spot for a holiday. The 17th Century village pub serves delicious meals using local produce and the well-stocked village store is a true delight, showcasing local food and drink, an ale list of over 70 local brews and a complex of rooms and courtyards full of things old and new, which is a treasure hunter's delight! The village is next to Ringstead Downs, an attractive chalk grassland located in a deep set valley and The Peddars Way and Norfolk Costal Path are also within easy reach. The Ringstead Loop cycle route is part of the national cycle network, which passes through the village and runs for 23 miles if you have the legs for it! The wide beaches of the west coast are close by at Old Hunstanton, Holme-next-the-Sea and Brancaster and are great for family days out, rock pooling, sand kiting, wind surfing and some amazing sunsets. Thornham a popular coastal village is nearby with a deli/restaurant, several pubs, and Drove farm which has a farm shop and other retail outlets. The RSPB Bird Reserve at Titchwell is just a few miles up the coast and the elegant Georgian village of Burnham Market with its eclectic shops and galleries should not be missed. Holkham House with its deer park, great house and pinewood backed beach and the Royal Estate at Sandringham can also be found in this delightful corner of Norfolk, which will draw you back time and again.

We had a very comfortable, enjoyable stay at 3 Top End cottage. The house was very well equipped and spotless and situated in a lovely part of North Norfolk.

Lovely spacious cottage in a very picturesque village. The local pub - The Gin Trap was perfect for an evening drink and the local general store sold absolutely everything! There were 4 generations staying at the property and the downstairs bedroom and ensuite was a real bonus. Hoping to all go back again next summer!

Lovely spacious and well equipped cottage, with each room having its own bathroom. Perfect location for visiting beautiful Norfolk. Off road parking for 4 cars which worked really well for our group of 4 couples. Owners were helpful and promptly answered our questions.

A lovely property in a great location. If travelling with a nervous dog as we were, it should be noted the garden is not private as there is another property situated in the garden, meaning there was no outside space that we could let our dog out it that was entirely private.

Would rather not post a review. We enjoyed the stay on the whole and it's a lovely house but see the issues above.

We all loved the coastal walks and lunches/dinners at the local pubs, its great that so many of them are dog friendly. we spent many hours walking about the villages looking at the old buildings and do some bird watching in Titchwell, this Part of NorfoRead morelk really is beautiful, and we cant wait to return. Thank you for a memorable and rejuvenating stay! Hide

Cant fault this house or Ringstead. Ringstead is so close to the coast and we all loved exploring this part of Norfolk. Best days out where in Wells, Burnham Market for shopping, and Thormham to the deli for lunch, a real lovely place to visit. We will be back and recommend to friends and family. Thank you.

A lovely cottage with everything we could need and a lovely village too. We ate a few times at The Gin trap - can also recommend The White Horse, Brancaster Staithe and The Globe, Wells. We had a lovely walk in Ringstead Common just south of the village. Also great days out in Old Hunstanton & Wells-Next-The-Sea.

This was a great base for a three generation family holiday. Very comfortable, spacious enough that we didn't feel on top of one another - a real top quality cottage.
