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.

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.

Ivy Cottage is a beautiful property to unwind and relax. The location is fabulous overlooking one of the biggest village greens weve ever seen. Tranquil well equipped and a stones through from a cracking pub. Add to that a quiet enclosed garden and the fact that its very pet friendly, whats not to like?
