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.

If you're disabled this cottage is not for you. Step into kitchen from lounge quite big. Stairs to bedrooms really hard to negotiate and then further steps into main bedroom. Shower over bath so difficult to use if disabled. Cottage is adequately equipped. No garden apart from small area with 2 chairs and a table that barely fit the space. So not Read morevery dog friendly Hide

The cottage was comfortable and welcoming. It could benefit from an addition mirror in the master bedroom, one that does move around!

This is a very nice cottage. We spent a lovely week there, and benefitted from some beautiful weather.The bathroom and Kitchen were very clean and the property looks as though it has recently been redecorated throughout. It is in an excellent position for many tourist attractions and it is also on the bus route, and the buses are very reliable.

The cottage is perfectly located for exploring the Norfolk coast, Sandringham and Wroxham broad. It is spacious downstairs with excellent facilities.

Overall the cottage has charm and although the outside sitting area is limited but mitigated by Heacham beach nearby and a long promenade suitable for wheelchair use.. There was only my wife and I so the property more than fulfilled our needs. It would be a challenge accommodating 4 mature adults but when our children were younger they would have loved the bunk beds. The welcome pack was a nice touch. The owners were available if needed but we had no issues at all. Hide

All in all the cottage that we booked very very much last minute was really lovely - big enough for a couple & a doggie - minimal outdoor area to sit / play out in - but close enough to the beach.
