Escape to this beautifully presented cottage within 150 metres of Walcott’s sandy beach, one of many attractive stretches of shoreline on the North Norfolk coast. The dog-friendly cottage features a cosy lounge/kitchen/diner, a patio garden and access to shared lawned areas. It is a convenient base for families or two couples eager to explore the area at their own speed, with the thriving market towns of Stalham and North Walsham within 6 miles.

The one-storey cottage is located in a complex off the main coastal road and is surrounded by properties of a similar size and character. Its pretty interior is bright and neat, with soft furnishings scattered about strategically to make the best use of this lovely space. The lounge/kitchen/diner is a real treat, a comfortable setting for film nights, hearty meals and refreshments after a long day. The cottage’s two double bedrooms guarantee a restful night’s sleep, with the option to enjoy an indulgent soak in the shower room before or after a trip to the Land of Nod. The patio area offers a scenic perch for morning coffees or al fresco snacks, and the dogs can stretch their legs on the shared lawned areas.

Walcott’s beach (150 metres) is great for sunbathing and water sports, with dogs welcome on certain stretches throughout the year. The village (0.5 miles) is great for essentials, and there are great shops, pubs and eateries in Stalham and North Walsham (within 6 miles). Bacton Wood (within 5 miles) is great for long bike rides or dog walks, while the Victorian charm of Cromer (12 miles) has drawn in visitors for generations.

This chalet provided an excellent base for our week away. It was very clean on our arrival, warm and a perfect space for me, my elderly mum and my dog. I thought with so many chalets around that it might be a bit noisy but it was the absolute opposite, so very quiet. There was plenty of crockery, pots and pans and oven dishes and trays for cooking.Read more The beds were comfortable as was the sofa and the whole place was much larger inside than we were expecting. The beach was great for walking the dog with a circular walk via Bacton quite achievable. Hide
