This beautiful two-storey cottage in the charming village of Briston is ideal for families or friends looking for a restful holiday in North Norfolk, close to the sandy beaches. There are local walks from the doorstep to Briston Common and along the river at Melton Constable (1.5 miles). Holt's Georgian market town is four miles away and has a lovely Owl Trail to discover the best hidden architectural gems. Alternatively, head to Holt Country Park, enjoy the day exploring the trails through the mixed woodland and then stop off at the tea shop.

This real home-from-home has a coastal and poppy theme imaginatively weaved through the decor and furnishings. Original features, including exposed brick fireplaces and wooden ceiling beams, add a delightful charm. Downstairs you will find a living room with plenty of comfortable seating to lounge on while chatting or watching the TV. A wood burner provides a cosy feel for the cooler months, making this a great year-round choice. The kitchen has all the appliances you need to cook up a storm, and there is a pretty dining area to linger over meals. The kitchen has a door leading to the garden, and a contemporary bathroom completes the downstairs features. Upstairs has one double bedroom, and one zip and link room which can be made into twins or a double on request. A lovely patio area with garden furniture is outside, perfect for a morning brew. A step down into the garden, covered with shingle, takes you to the summer house.

Sheringham (10.5 miles) has a lovely sandy beach at low tide (so check tide times) and walks along the promenade when the tide is in. Alternatively, head to Wells-next-the-Sea and enjoy the vast sandy beach and colourful beach huts, fly kites or build sandcastles. Salthouse and Cley-next-the-Sea are less than ten miles and are great bird-watching locations.

Poppy Cottage is very well situated in North Norfolk. Its a very quaint, well equipped cottage and we were very comfortable staying there for a week. We had a query about linen whilst we were there and this was rectified very quickly through the owner with no fuss. I would recommend staying here - and it helps that there is a lovely friendly pub/reRead morestaurant at the end of the road! Hide

We had an excellent week staying at Poppy Cottage it was warm and cosy but if you have difficulty with stairs these are very steep. The area has so much to see that you did not need to be on the road for too long before you found somewhere to visit The three horseshoes is only a few steps away and the village Butcher, Bakers and general stores are Read morevery handy with all you need. The Steam railway and National trust are all nearby. This is our first time in the area and look forward to visiting again. Hide
