Property code: OC-2365

Perfectly placed on the edge of the bustling village of Heacham, offering a glorious sandy beach and long scenic walks on the promenade that stretches to the shoreline of Hunstanton, it would be hard to find a cosier coastal cottage bursting with charm and character.

After a long day exploring your surroundings, soothe sandy walking toes and paws beside the roaring wood burner in the open-plan lounge/diner before hunkering down on the comfy sofa to admire the charming characterful features that surround you, including exposed brickwork and rustic farmhouse-style furnishings. As the evening draws in, grab the delicious local produce you’ve collected and head into the rustic kitchen/diner to whip up a feast to feed the family seated around the dining table. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime any longer, find peace and tranquillity in either of the two lovingly furnished bedrooms and retire for a well-earned rest before tomorrow’s adventure. Soak up some sunshine no matter the weather in the light and bright conservatory or dine alfresco in the courtyard, enclosed by a high stone wall adorned with climbing ivy.

One of the sunniest spots in Norfolk, the coastal village of Heacham boasts two stunning beaches, both 1.5 miles away, offering sandcastle-perfect sand and calm shallow waters ideal for a peaceful paddle. While away an afternoon strolling along the promenade stretching to the shoreline to the neighbouring Victorian seaside town of Hunstanton 2.5 miles away, which offers everything you’d expect to find at a traditional seaside resort, from crazy golf to Esplanade Gardens. This area is a bird watcher’s paradise; nature enthusiasts can head 7.5 miles to reach the RSPB reserves at Snettisham and Titchwell whilst keen walkers can join up with a variety of coastal paths as well as the popular Peddars Way.

A lovely cosy cottage, great log burner for those chilly nights. One minute walk to the shop is helpful for supplies and 5 minute drive to the beach.

We stayed at Parcel Cottage this August, getting the best weather Norfolk has to offer and we fell in love with this beautiful area with so much to do! Evening swims at the beach whilst the sun was setting, a super day cycling the bikes we'd hired from the cycle shop in the village, Wednesday morning we enjoyed the car boot sale at the football cluRead moreb. Staying in such a well equipped and comfortable cottage meant we lacked for nothing! The beds were super comfy, and it was well decorated throughout. The owners are so attentive and helpful...they really have made it a true home from home. Thank you and I hope many others enjoy it! Hide

The standard of cleaning was low on arrival - lots of hair on floor and even in the sheets. Many cobwebs and lots of dust. The rules on the booking page did not reflect the terms set out in the property info at the cottage e.g. the booking said 'one dog' whereas the booklet at the property said 'one small or medium dog'. Also, the property bookletRead more said that the dog was not allowed on furniture or upstairs. I can't think of anyone who doesn't let their dog on furniture or prevents them from using an entire floor of the property, so I honestly think that this means the property is not dog friendly. The booklet also stated that the fireplace was out of order, even though when I contacted the host (who was very lovely and helpful) she said this was out of date and incorrect. We ran out of supplies that were listed as provided, and had to buy our own toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, laundry capsules, kitchen roll, and washing up brush. The private garden space wasn't attached to the property directly, but was accessed via a communal space. This was disappointing as it meant we couldn't safely and securely let our dog outside, as we didn't want her in the neighbours spaces or even escaping onto the road if a neighbour opened the shared gate.
