Property code: OC-1718

One of three pretty, thatched, single-storey cottages, this studio-style cottage creates a bijoux and delightful base for two. Everything for a comfortable holiday has been put in place from the neat kitchen area to the cosy bedroom with en-suite shower room. The outside courtyard is a sunny spot to relax in for breakfast or a place for an evening drink. Surrounded by National Trust woods and heathland and less than a mile from the sea, this is a lovely spot from which to explore this glorious part of Norfolk.

The compact open-plan sitting/dining/kitchen area has comfortable seating, a TV, a dining table and chairs for two guests. It’s perfect for when one of you is cooking but doesn’t want to miss out on the conversation. The kitchen has everything needed for whipping up a romantic meal. Move through this single-storey property and find the bedroom with its double bed and wooden floor. The en-suite shower room with its shower cubicle and WC can also be found here. To the front of the property, there is a small suntrap terrace with a table and chairs. This is a lovely spot for a little al fresco dinner as the sun goes down.

West Runton is an appealing seaside village nestled in the North Norfolk coastal landscape. It offers a family-friendly beach with crabbing and fossil hunting and there is a pub, a grocer, a station, two cafes, a gym, a golf course and swimming all to be found within half a mile of the cottage's front door. To the east, discover the resort of Cromer (3 miles) with its famous pier and cliff-top walks and further along this stretch of the coast are numerous flat, sandy beaches that are often not overpopulated even in the summer. Head west and discover the open marshes at Stiffkey and Cley-next-the-Sea and seaside villages such as Blakeney and Wells-next-the-Sea (all within 20 miles), each with their own unique character. With great pubs, delis, smokehouses, farm shops and cafes, there are plenty of places that showcase the produce that Norfolk is justifiably famous for such as crabs, mussels, cheeses, wines and more. The area is rich in history too with Felbrigg Hall (2.5 miles) and Blickling Hall (11 miles) both run by the National Trust, and Holkham Hall (22 miles), the seat of the Earl of Leicester, all nearby.

We really enjoyed our stay in Half Moon Cottage from 1st to 5th October 2024. The thing that struck us the most was the welcome, care and attention to detail. Its clear that the property owners want their guests to have a first class experience. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the appliances and fixtures and fittings were of a superior qualityRead more than some other places we have stayed in. The location is also very good. Set in beautiful woodland, most of the time, the only sound was that of the birds. Very enjoyable and highly recommended. Hide

The cottage was exactly as described and extremely clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and the little extras provided by the hosts, Julie and Michael (milk, Norfolk apple juice, tea/coffee, biscuits, home made marmalade and even a bowl of lovely fresh strawberries), made us feel very welcome. The fresh flRead moreowers from the garden in the bedroom and sitting room were a lovely touch too. Julie & Michael were on hand to greet us on arrival and to say goodbye when we left but they never imposed. Lovely people and beautiful accommodation which together made a great holiday. Hide

Had a great week in this lovely cottage. Enjoyed chatting to the owners who are lovely people. The cottage is in an idyllic position. Very close to Felbrigg and Blickling Halls and close to the sea between Sheringham and Cromer. Its quiet and peaceful and had everything we needed, warm and cosy. We would have liked to sit on the pretty patio but thRead moree week was so cold and windy. Many thanks to Michael and Julie. We really hope to return. Hide

Our accommodation was perfect for 2 people and had a very calm and quiet atmosphere. Ideally situated to get to the towns, supermarkets, restaurants/pubs, the beach or woodland walks. The cottage itself had a high qualRead moreity level with all appliances/facilities we needed. We felt our cottage and the gardens were tended with a lot of love. Highly recommended. Hide
