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.
