  • Charming semi-detached cottage in a peaceful Norfolk village, close to the North Norfolk coast

  • Burnham Market, Wells-next-the-Sea, Blakeney, Cley and Holt are all within easy reach
Property code: OC-D27204

This wonderful property, situated in the heart of the Norfolk countryside in the sleepy village of East Rudham, is the perfect escape for couples or small families. Sleeping four guests over two bright and airy bedrooms, this cottage is ideal for those that want to explore the superb coast and country that Norfolk has to offer. Go seal spotting at Blakeney Point (20 miles) or head off down a trail at Pensthorpe Natural Park (14 miles) before heading back to base to be welcomed by homely interiors and soft lighting.

The cottage, which has a delightful traditional Norfolk winder staircase, is cosy and inviting with an open-plan style. Beamed ceilings, comfortable furniture and neutral decor in the lounge beckon you to sink into the sofa in front of the wood burner, as you watch your favourite show on the smart TV or chat about your day. Cook a hearty breakfast to set you up for the day in the contemporary kitchen and eat at the breakfast bar before going off on an adventure. Both en-suite bedrooms have a stylish, country-cottage atmosphere; taller guests might prefer the first-floor bedroom with more headroom in both the bedroom and en-suite. Outside, the secluded garden is a wonderful spot to laze in the sun and listen to the wildlife.

There are plenty of things to do in the area to keep everyone busy; visit Sandringham Estate and its museum or Castle Acre Priory (both 11 miles) for a bit of history, or let the kids run riot at Holkham Hall (13 miles) where there is a fun outdoor play area. Wells-next-the-Sea Beach (15 miles) is perfect for building sandcastles, while Brancaster Beach (13 miles) features the fascinating half-buried wreck of the SS Vina. Take the children for a ride on the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway (10.5 miles) or on a historic sea tour aboard Dunkirk veteran Lucy Lavers with Curlew Coastal Charters (14.5 miles).

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 king-size room and 1 double room
  • 2 bathrooms - 2 en-suites with shower over bath and WC
  • Electric oven and hob, fridge with ice compartment, microwave and washing machine
  • Smart TV and DVD in the lounge and TV with DVD in upstairs bedroom
  • Wood burner (starter pack of logs provided in the winter only)
  • Due to the style of the staircase, this property may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility
  • Secluded garden and patio area with furniture provided
  • Free and abundant on-street parking on a first-come, first-served basis

Highly recommend Dale Cottage. It was in a great location, easily accessible to the surrouding area and further afield. Great if you want country roads near cottage to walk on. Very well equipped, no detail has been overlooked. Nice touch of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. Hope to return again

We enjoyed our stay in this cottage overall.. It is compact and very cosy.- tucked away with a lovely garden. Having a log fire is always a treat but slightly disappointing that there wasn't enough wood left for a good fire. You will have to buy your own...which is fine if you know in advance! The blinds are very tricky. Some work. Some don't. As aRead more person with mobility issues, it would have been a kind gesture to have been given an extra bit of time (20 minutes maybe) on the leaving morning. It states to be out before ten which is not ideal or easy. Most cottages we have stayed in are 11.00.We did ask! So, make sure you leave on the dot, as the cleaner hovering outside slightly ruined our holiday even though we left on time. Hide
