Overview
Property code: OC-1792

This charming cottage, situated in the pretty village of Stanhoe just outside the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is the perfect romantic bolthole for two. Sleeping you both in a beautiful king-size bedroom, this idyllic countryside retreat will leave you feeling as if you’ve escaped the pressures of busy life after just a few days here. With variable mobile signal, you can truly switch off; spend summer evenings grilling up a BBQ and dining alfresco, enjoying your surroundings in the mature garden.

The property, which welcomes you in via a stunning rose-covered arch up to the front door, is full of character. Have relaxing breakfasts in the contemporary kitchen diner, throwing open the patio doors to let the fresh air in, or spend chilly evenings in the lounge. Spectacular exposed beams and a gorgeous original brick fireplace beckon you to sink into the sofa in front of the wood burner, watching your favourite show on TV or simply snuggling up together and chatting about your day. Take a sumptuous soak in the free-standing bath in the bathroom surrounded by rich wood furniture and calming neutral decor before heading to bed in the tranquil bedroom. Get ready for the day in the wonderful dressing room that’s flooded with light.

Head off to Brancaster Beach (8 miles) where miles of unspoilt golden sand make it perfect for strolls along to the harbour or to the Branodunum, a Scheduled Ancient Monument that was once a Roman army fort. Climb the five floors up to Bircham Windmill (5 miles) and see it in action, or soak in the history at Walsingham Abbey (9.5 miles). Make sure you visit Norfolk Lavender (7.5 miles) to pick up one of the many varieties of lavender plants as a souvenir of your visit.

Beautiful, cosy, romantic little cottage, great facilities, loved the bath and log burner, The Duck Inn serves excellent food and in walking distance. Take a torch. So many places to visit. Spiral staircase may not be for everyone.

Lovely cosy cottage. Lovely to see the table set and flowers in it. Nice surprise was the champagne in the fridge. Log burner was lovely Not far from Sandringham or Hunstanton. The carpet was hard on your feet so slippers are recommended.

A great cosy little cottage with everything we needed for the week. Plenty to visit, I think we never had to drive more than 30 minutes distance away every day, definitely go and see the seals at Blakeney. Also treated ourselves to a nice dinner at the local pub (The Duck), can highly recommend. Only downside was that it was too hot to make use of Read morethe logburner, perhaps a return in the winter is required. Hide

The cottage is in an excellent location for exploring north Norfolk and it had everything you could want in terms of kitchen equipment and it was decorated very prettily in keeping with cottage syle but the comfort of guests would be improved if they could take hot showers, have more privacy at the back of the house if window coverings were put on Read morethe french doors The feather duvet/pillows also seemed to become a bit damp and retain moisture in the heat and for hygiene reasons a synthetic duvet/pillows would be better as they can be easily laundered The stairs are also very steep and whilst there was a grab handle, it did worry us if we had to get up in the dead of night to use the bathroom downtairs and potentially falling down the stairs so more emphasis should be put on the cottage details listed on the website referring to this as older people will potentially struggle to get up and down the stairs. Some little side tables in the living room would be handy for putting drinks down on. Hide
