Escape to this charming 16th-century family cottage and immerse yourself in its historic ambience whilst enjoying the shared swimming pool and games room with the never-ending sands of Bacton Beach nearby.

One of four cottages on site, this beautiful home exudes a timeless charm with its exposed beams, stained glass windows, and picturesque thatched roof. Step inside and discover a spacious living room with comfortable seating, an inviting electric fire, and a Smart TV, providing the perfect space for relaxation. Prepare delicious meals for your loved ones in the well-equipped kitchen, then gather around the antique dining table and chairs to savour your culinary creations. When it's time to retire for the night, choose from one of two inviting bedrooms. The first bedroom, located on the ground floor, is a cosy twin room with doors leading out to the garden. The second bedroom is accessed via steep wooden steps leading up to a beautiful galley, where you'll find a comfortable double bed tucked under the sloping eaves of the roof. Outside, the cottage boasts its own private patio area equipped with a table, chairs, and a gas BBQ, perfect for alfresco dining and soaking up the sunshine. Additionally, guests have access to shared grounds and the complex's shared facilities, including an indoor swimming pool, a mini gym, and a games room.

For bucket and spade days, a path leads from the property directly to the beach, less than 200 metres away. Alternatively, stroll along the Norfolk Coast Path, which conveniently runs right behind the property. Explore the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and visit the seaside villages of Mundesley (4 miles) or Happisburgh (3.5 miles), with its iconic red and white striped lighthouse. For nature enthusiasts, the Broads National Park is a must-visit destination, offering a vast wetland teeming with diverse wildlife.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was well equipped, warm and cosy, and with the added benefit of a beautiful swimming pool. The welcome basket was a very pleasant surprise and extremely helpful. We have not visited Norfolk before but loved our stay and will consider coming back.

This is a really lovely spot on the coast. The beach is a short walk away. The accommodation was lovely and comfortable and really well equipped. The swimming pool is amazing. The manager Maxine was available to answer any questions which was great. The welcome pack was a lovely generous gesture. Thank you!

The location and exterior of the cottage are hard to beat. Lovely stained glass touches around the complex. Beautiful setting and an outstanding separate pool building with a sauna (not working when we were there) The beds are very comfortable. The positives really end there. Weve actually stayed in the complex 3 times now (due to the pool and locaRead moretion near the beach) and it appears its not being adequately maintained despite the quite hefty accommodation charges. The interior of the cottage is very rustic and needs updating and some fixtures are not up to standard. Its definitely not 4 star. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm that we will discuss this with the owner. Hide

We had such a lovely time here. The beach is just a couple of minutes walk awayreally quiet and sandy, perfect for morning coffees or evening paddles.

We arrived to a lovely welcome basket with fresh bread, butter, eggs, jam, biscuitsand even a bottle of fizz, which was such a nice touch. Maxine, who looks after the place, was so kind and helpful. And everyone we met locally was really friendly. We felt instantly at home. Already planning when we can come back! Hide
