Overview
Property code: OC-1642

A charming country cottage enveloped by a lush tropical garden and ideally situated for exploring the rugged Norfolk coast. Nestled behind a row of cottages in the sleepy village of Stiffkey, this romantic bolthole is the perfect escape for couples and their waggy-tailed third wheel. Inhale the salty ocean air as you seal spot from Blakeney Point (2.5 miles), then swirl a glass of chilled wine and pick through a snack board perched on the leafy patio.

This compact property boasts a tastefully styled interior with rich colours, plush fabrics, and traditional country house detailing. Ease out of muddy boots at the door then pad into the inviting lounge/diner. Tend to the crackling wood burner then sink amongst the plump cushions on the sofa. Browse the bookshelf for a holiday read or snuggle up with a film. Step beneath the archway into the shaker kitchen to brew a round of teas overlooking the garden. Take a relaxing rinse in the shower before turning in for the night. Slip into the cool sheets of the double bedroom decorated in calming white tones. Throw open the French doors to enjoy breakfast outside surrounded by mature shrubs and flowers.

Saunter barefoot alongside the colourful beach huts lining the shoreline of Wells-next-the-Sea Beach (5 miles) then tuck into an unbeatably fresh seafood platter at the Wells Crab House (4 miles). Admire the 13th Century monastic ruins of Binham Priory (3.5 miles) or peruse the selection of independent shops and cafes in the Georgian market town of Holt (9 miles).

We had a sunny week in Poppy cottage. It was a gorgeous walk to the salt marshes from the cottage. The cottage was ideally situated for visiting the surrounding area.

Access to the cottage was across the front of four cottages and around a corner, then across a courtyard, not easy with luggage or in the dark, and with a dog, with very limited lighting. Tiny scruffy private courtyard, not the one shown on the website.

Location, location, location. 5 minute walk down to the mud flats at Stiffkey and 5 minute walk to the Red Lion. The cottage is perfectly suitable for two people, is well equipped and makes good use of the space available. The shower unit and sink are either side of the corridor connecting the kitchen and bedroom which works out fine if you close tRead morehe doors to create a bathroom area. Plenty of space for car parking on Green Way but be aware that there is a short walk past the front and around the back of a row of cottages to get to the property so no unloading straight from the car. We really enjoyed our stay and would book again. Hide

Surprisingly comfortable and well equipped characterful small cottage. Friendly, welcoming neighbours. Excellent location for coastal walks in both directions. We didnt use the car all week thanks to the coasthopper bus pulling up outside. Great stay, thank you.

We found the property without any problems within a lovely garden with some lovely plants a real cottage garden. Was really quiet and relaxing, the adjoining neighbours were very helpful and friendly. So close to Cley & Titchwell wildlife reserves which I really enjoyed. Would definitely consider returning for another stay.

The cottage was lovely, clean and comfy. Amazing how you fitted so much in. Not sure about sharing space outside with others. We do like a garden when on holiday., so wouldn't use this cottage again.
