Property code: OC-2141

Stay at this romantic, cosy cottage to enjoy homely surroundings and period features with your loved one and canine companion. This delightful property provides an idyllic position of coast and country, close to a fantastic choice of nearby walks, handy shops for those kitchen essentials and a couple of local pubs serving fresh Norfolk fare.

Despite only sleeping two guests and one pup, this accommodation supplies plenty of room to unwind and is complemented with traditional period features, adding that extra level of cosiness. Head into the welcoming lounge/diner and snuggle up on the sofa in front of the wood burner after a long day of rambling. Refuel with delicious dishes made in the stylishly updated kitchen space, which is also equipped with everything needed for any culinary creations. Sitting at the rear of the room is the dining table, where you can share food, wine and raise a glass to your romantic stay. At the end of the night, go up the steep staggered cottage-style stairs to be greeted with a king-size bedroom with stacks of storage space for all your beach accessories. On lazy days, wake up to coffee brewing in the kitchen and a lovely shingle courtyard where you can begin to plan for the day ahead.

Make the most of your fantastic location by spending balmy mornings visiting Sheringham Park (1.5 miles). Stroll hand in hand around rolling parkland, wild gardens and rugged woodlands before rewarding your efforts with a bacon bap and cup of tea. Holt Country Park (4 miles) is also perfect for avid walkers. There are many beaches nearby, including Weybourne, Sheringham, Salthouse and Cromer, all within 6.5 miles of the property. Nature enthusiasts may want to venture to the spectacular Cley Marshes (6.5 miles) to see one of the country's most famous birdwatching sites, with the chance to observe spoonbills, snow bunting and North America's white-crowned sparrow.

What a gem: Penny Cottage is a lovely place to stay. The fittings and furnishings are great, it was very clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. Its a 150 year old building so the downstairs ceilings are a little low (watch out if 6ft or over) and the staircase steep but that it adds to the charm of the place. Its very well situated in a loveRead morely quiet village and a great place to explore North Norfolk. Adam came to say hello and introduce himself along with some homemade wine (it was lovely) and came to our rescue when we stupidly locked ourselves out. The welcome hamper was very thoughtful and much appreciated, it even included treats for the dog! A wonderful and comfortable place to stay, if Im ever back in Norfolk I would definitely see if Penny Cottage was available. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely little cottage. It had everything you could hope for and the welcome pack was a real treat. The stairs were an interesting work out. A great location for exploring North Norfolk. Would recommend visiting The Wizard Maze - great day out for the children.

Pub within walking distance closed Sunday, Monday, Tuesday nights, therefore not much of a selling point. And the staircase was a challenge (we are fit and able), but would be a massive issue for those with mobility issues - shouldve made clearer on website. Outside area within courtyard with other cottages, so not much privacy. Cottage otherwise Read morecosy and clean. Hide
