Full of appealing original features, this immaculately decorated cottage is set in a lovely Norfolk village and makes a wonderful choice for couples, friends or small families.

This pretty terraced brick-and-flint cottage has heaps of charm, and cleverly blends period character with modern amenities. Step down to the front door and leave your walking boots in the hallway/boot room, then head into the cosy and welcoming lounge, with its rustic beams and ornamental brick fireplace.

Step outside and you can relax in the huge walled garden, which has a patio, lawn and flower beds, enjoying drinks or meals alfresco and relishing the fresh sea air.

The cottage is located in Wiveton, just 1.5 miles from both Blakeney and Cley-next-the-Sea. In the village, you''ll find a lovely cafe offering farm-to-table dining, while in Holt, 4 miles away, you''ll find plenty of shops, galleries and antiques outlets.

Cottage was pleasant and good base for going out for the day, garden very nice and secure for dogs. some people reviews mention tight turn to get on the drive which is correct, i have a large Nissan Quashqi but made the turn, however it would be difficult had neighbouring cottages had their cars parked on the lane but i was lucky enough not to haveRead more them parked near by when i was parking. First thing i looked for in pics on advert was to see if there were Rads for heating which you can see, however, heating is via one of these stupid heat pumps and was insufficient to say the least, you have no control over the temperature to increase or decrease and rads were luke warm at best in the evening so we had to sit watching TV with Hoodies on and blankets over us. I would still recommend the cottage just make sure you go in warmer months the five nights we had were cold. Hide

Very quiet location and ideally places to explore the North Norfolk coast. Very dog friendly with most secure garden of all the cottages we've stayed in.

We complained a couple of times but the Read morewholee arrangement was unsatisfactory. Probably idillic though in summer. Thank you for your feedback. When we visited the property to ensure everything was in order we found that the radiator thermostats had been turned down, which was quickly adjusted.

Lovely cosy cottage in the heart of North Norfolk. Visited in February so weather was mixed of course, but the cosy wood burning stove was a bonus.

Very lovely 'cottagie' cottage, tastefully decorated and furnished and with a very homily feel to it, There is a well working wood burner for extra atmosphere though you need to get your own logs. The kitchen is well equipped and with good appliances. Washing up liquid, kitchen cloth and towels were kindly provided. The cottage is in walking distanRead morece to Blakeney and Cley next the Sea and the walks through the marshes. Overall, a good location to explore the northern part of Norfolk. We were missing some local dog walking options, ie local footpaths through the countryside (other than the marshes) which we did not manage to find really. Many walks involve quite a bit of pavement.. so we ended up driving to Holkham beach on 3 of the days. Hide
