Property code: OC-2257

This attractive cottage overlooks Aldborough village green, and is just 8 miles from the gorgeous Norfolk coast. The village boasts a friendly pub and is a great starting point for many picturesque walks, including the long-distance Weavers’ Way. Sleeping three guests, the cottage is perfect for small families and couples looking to switch off and relax in breathtaking countryside surroundings. Nearby days out include Blakeney Point, Felbrigg Hall, and Amazona Zoo (all within 15 miles).

Step inside the red-brick cottage and into the bright, open-plan lounge/diner, where cool tones and delicate soft furnishings create a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy mealtimes together at the wooden dining table, before sinking into the sofas to watch the Smart TV and warm your toes in front of the cosy wood burner. There’s also a plump dog bed for four-legged guests, as well as books and games to keep you entertained. A step leads up into the separate kitchen, which has everything needed to whip up delicious breakfasts, dinners, and snacks. A stylish family bathroom with underfloor heating completes the ground floor, and you’ll find the two beautiful bedrooms upstairs. The peaceful garden is detached from the property, just a few steps away, and is fully enclosed with a lawn, outdoor furniture, and a BBQ.

There are some fantastic beach resorts within easy reach, including Mundesley (10.5 miles) with its Victorian seaside vibe, colourful beach huts, and cute eateries. You’ll also be just 8 miles from Cromer, where you’ll find a wide, sandy beach, pier with entertainment, and the opportunity to try a whole host of water sports. The bustling market towns of Holt (10 miles) and Aylsham (7 miles) make great days out, and from the latter you can hop on the steam train to visit the idyllic Broads village of Wroxham.

We had a wonderful time at Ivy Cottage, it was very clean and comfortable, and a good location for exploring the surrounding areas. The excellent Pub in the village is a bonus.

The cottage is lovely. The decor and fitting out have obviously been carefully thought through and it was scrupulously clean. We spent a lovely peaceful and relaxing weekend in Aldborough. Look carefully at google maps so you understand where the garden is, relative to the cottage, particularly if you have a dog and are considering late night aRead morend early morning trips outside. It's also worth being aware that rural Norfolk generally has terrible mobile signals - neither my husband nor I had a signal in the house (two different providers) which wouldn't normally matter except that because of a storm there was no internet either. Absolutely not the fault of the cottage owner but, if a good mobile phone signal is important to you, this might not be the holiday home for you. Hide

Lovely cottage, in a lovely village. The cottage had everything we needed, and the welcome gifts much appreciated after a long drive. We enjoyed some great walks out from the cottage, particularly a walk to Alby craft centre - we'd recommend a trip there. Beautiful countryside all around, and not too busy anywhere we went.

This was our second stay at Ivy Cottage and we really enjoyed ourselves again. We decided to come here for our last holiday before our first baby arrives in a few months. A lovely welcome bundle, easy checking in and out, great location. The cottage is really well kept and presented and feels like a real home from home once settled. I was initiallyRead more concerned about having no dedicated parking but on both visits there's always been plenty of space in the village and we never had any trouble. I can't recommend Ivy Cottage enough! Hide

Lovely cottage in a quiet village location, updated to a high standard. Locals are very friendly, and the Cricketers is a very nice pub. Post Office stocks all the essentials you need. Situated here, you are just a short drive from loads of great beaches.

We spent a delightful, very comfortable week at Ivy Cottage. It was immaculate both in cleanliness and decor and the welcome pack of milk and wine was much appreciated..
