The cottage was previously owned by the Queen as part of the Sandringham Estate and has retained stunning features, including the cottage doors, wooden floors, and exposed brickwork. You’ll want to relax in the bright and light living room, get the wood burner going and chat over a glass of something. Next door is the pretty snug with a single day bed, which has an en-suite cloakroom and can be used as the third bedroom or a playroom. Rustle up memorable meals in the spacious cottage kitchen with a large gas Range-style oven, dining table, an original pamment tiled floor, and rear garden access. Upstairs are the two pretty double bedrooms, one has a nautical theme, the other a flower theme, there’s also a family bathroom. Take your pick of where to sit in the garden, on the front patio and AstroTurf lawn, or the rear decked area, all ideal for your morning coffee or a chilled sundowner.

Head on woodland walks with your furry friends and explore the canine friendly Snettisham beach (5 miles) and beaches at Heacham (7 miles). Wander around Sandringham House and Gardens while the youngsters have fun in the adventure playground. Bird watchers will love the RSPB reserve at Snettisham (2.5 miles), Norfolk Wildlife Trust at Holme-next-the-Sea (10 miles) and RSPB Titchwell March (12.5 miles).

Lovely cute cottage in an excellent location for exploring the stunning Norfolk coast. Cottage was well equipped and beautifully dressed. Pretty enclosed gardens for our 2 lil furballs too. Super close to Sandringham and perfectly placed for trips to Hunstanton, Wells and more. Would highly recommend.

The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. The cottage is in an excellent location for exploration of coastal resorts and interesting villages. Also very good for RSPB sites and for nature lovers in general.

Cleaning could have been better. Under sofas not clean, found items belonging to previous visitors in washing machine and back of ottoman box. No cleaning materials for kitchen, bathroom shower curtain filthy at bottom. Improved overall cleaning would have made the cottage really great.
