Property code: OC-1689

Located in the picturesque village of Stiffkey, just 4 miles from the stunning Norfolk coast, this quirky property has plenty to offer. Sleeping four guests in two bedrooms, it boasts a wealth of period features, such as exposed beams, a traditional inglenook fireplace and an original bread nook, while modern comforts, such as underfloor heating, have been added to make your stay as relaxing as possible.

The open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room is a lovely place to unwind in the evening in the glow of the wood burner, exchanging stories on the comfortable sofas or watching a film on the TV. Gather around the dining table for home-cooked meals which are easy to prepare in the well-equipped kitchen space. Upstairs, beneath low, beamed, sloping ceilings, you’ll find a king-size and a twin bedroom, both with en-suite shower rooms. Outside, the private garden is a tranquil retreat, with a decked area for lounging or outdoor dining, surrounded by a steep bank bursting with colourful flowers. And a steep alley leads to a small seat and a wildflower meadow.

Wander the winding lanes from the village or take a pleasant stroll or bike ride through the saltmarshes, only 0.5 miles away. There's plenty to explore in the local area, with the long-distance Peddars Way (20 miles) and the Norfolk Coast Path (4 miles) close by. The stunning beaches are what really makes Stiffkey such a special location though, including Wells-next-the-Sea (4 miles) with its soft golden sands, dramatic pines and eye-catching beach huts. You can also take the ferry from Morston Quay (3 miles) and explore Blakeney Point, home of England's largest grey seal colony.

We loved Rose Cottage. Space to spread out. Excellently equipped and very comfortable overall. . Attractive decor. Being surrounded by the wildness of the garden didnt bother us, just the dawn chorus waking us at 4am was a bit unwelcome, but we preferred that to traffic noise anyday.

Stiffkey a great place to visit. Salt marshes nearby. Stiffkey stores wonderful and coast hopper bus really useful to avoid parking in Wells. Cottage ideally placed to enjoy all above.

The "cottage" is very spacious. Two sitting rooms and tiny conservatory give plenty of sitting/relaxing options. Main bedroom is also large and pleasant with additional seating. Wifi and mobile reception good upstairs. Ribbon village with attractive houses and extremely pleasant and useful local shop and PO. Admiral local bus service which travels Read morealong coast so makes walking one way along the coastal path and busing the other possible. Hide
