This delightful cottage is set in a tranquil location in Snettisham and invites you to experience a slice of coastal and countryside life within beautiful Norfolk. Perfect for small families of four and their two pups, this charming home has everything you need for a stress-free holiday with your little ones.

Kick off your walking boots in the hallway and admire the 18th-century settle, listed door with the original key. This historic start is sure to get you fired up for an exciting trip away! Choose your spot in the lounge/diner and feel instantly transported back in time thanks to the stylish antique furnishings, solid oak mantelpiece and internal cottage doors. A cosy spot on the sofa is ideal after a long day, while the flickering wood burner helps to nurse chilly toes. Take on cheffing duties in the well-equipped kitchen with everything needed to experiment with flavours. Or fire up the BBQ for a night of burgers, sausages and glasses of Pimms in the fully enclosed courtyard garden. Treat yourself to a long soak in the claw-foot bathtub on the first floor before putting on your comfiest pyjamas and taking your pick from one of two elegant bedrooms.

The unspoilt seaside of Snettisham Beach (2.5 miles) gives ample space for relaxing on the coast, lounging in the sunshine, dipping in the sea and viewing wide varieties of birdlife at Snettisham RSPB Nature Reserve. If the children are begging you to take them out for the day, jump in the car and meet the animals, feed the lambs, and go on pony rides at Snettisham Park (1 mile). For those with a fondness for history, visit Sandringham Estate (5 miles) or Holkham Hall (17 miles).

An attractive cottage in a great location in a lovely friendly village. The cottage is comfortable and spacious with everything required. All the equipment functioned properly and was easy to use. Some TLC is required. The sofas are very worn, the curtains and carpets are a bit grubby. The door to the garden can be difficult to open and a simple stRead moreop would prevent the door crashing into the bathroom wall. A proper clean and some attention to detail would improve things. That said it was a very comfortable stay and we enjoyed the cottage for its features and location. Hide

Such a fantastic cottage. Right in the heart of the village, which is great. Secure yard if you're taking a dig and brilliant circular walks right on your doorstep. The idea place to explore North Norfolk. You've also got what's probably the best caf in Norfolk about 20 yards away!!

The cottage was lovely and quirky and the furniture added to its charm. There were quite a few nails that were sticking up on the floorboards which need addressing, so tread carefully. The location and area were beautiful, which made it very easy to travel to other local areas of interest, especially Holt, which was the most friendly dog place weRead more have visited. We would recommend this cottage for a lovely peaceful break. Hide

We had a lovely stay at Dutch house with our 3 month old and 3 dogs. I had seen a review suggesting may not be good for dogs or babies due to noise from the restaurant next door. We slept with the windows open and didnt have any issues with noise. We stayed Monday - Friday so perhaps it is noisier over the weekend but for us was fine. The courtRead moreyard garden was ideal for our three dogs. The walls and gate are a good 6ft high. There is a small gap under the gate, but we just moved the bins infront of this so our escape artists couldnt succeed! The cottage was well equipped and is in a great location being just minutes walk away from the shop and pubs. Parking was ideal being right infront of the door. We did have an issue with an alarm going off, but the owner came straight out to resolve this nice and quickly. Hide
