Property code: OC-T32433

This stylishly renovated flint cottage makes a comfortable base for outdoorsy groups and families seeking to explore the sights of Norfolk. Nestled in the lovely village of Cley-next-the-Sea, this relaxing holiday home offers walks, beaches and spectacular countryside, all within a moment's notice.

This beautifully updated period cottage features two welcoming spaces for relaxing: a snug and a lounge. Each boasts its own wood burner, comfortable furniture, and a Smart TV so all party members can catch their favourite shows. Cook up delicious meals in the sleek, well-equipped kitchen that offers a handsome apex ceiling, luxury vinyl flooring and attractive dark cabinets – then gather around the table to tuck in. When it comes to bedtime, the cottage continues to charm. Downstairs, there's a lovely double room with a modern en-suite. Upstairs, the king-size bedroom feels like a peaceful retreat, and the twin is perfect for little ones or extra guests. The bathroom is a bit special too, with a roll-top bath in the middle just asking for bubbles and a long soak. In the morning, throw open the doors, let the fresh Norfolk air in, and watch the kids run around the enclosed lawn while you enjoy your coffee. Free parking is available at the village hall 100 metres away.

Situated on the Norfolk coast, you’re well-placed for birdwatching, outdoor pursuits, and beach days out. A visit to the village centre of Cley will introduce you to its 18th-century windmill, bookshops, smokehouse and an excellent deli. The shingle beach is just over a mile away and offers pretty scenery while you stroll. For the avid birdwatchers, you’re well-placed to visit the National Trust's Blakeney National Nature Reserve (1.5 miles), while over in Cromer (13 miles), you can join the Norfolk Coast Path before finishing off with a Cromer crab appetiser.

We had a lovely stay at The Cottage and found the area delightful, great for dog walks and great for eating close by, good access for nearby villages etc. The Cottage is very peaceful and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. North Norfolk is our new favourite place, the beach on your doorstep in the countryside, perfect!

Lovely cottage, in excellent order throughout. Imaginative decor and consideration given to comfort in every room, a pleasure to go home to at the end of each busy day. Enjoyed the countryside and beaches in spite of a chill wind and lots to see and do in the area. Many very good eateries within walking distance of the cottage. Pebble approach Read moremight be a problem for someone with mobility problems, but other than that, this was the perfect holiday stay. Hide

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location. Everything you could need for a holiday. Even down to a wheelbarrow to help you bring bags from your car. Very comfortable, peaceful retreat to get away from it all.

The Cottage was absolutely beautiful. Clean and immaculately decorated and styled throughout. Plenty of storage options and everything you could possibly need to hand. The two living rooms were really useful when staying with other family members or children. The garden was spacious and contained for dogs and children with beautifully kept flowers Read moreand plenty of seating. The whole place felt homely and cosy and was a delight to stay in, with a few lovely pubs in walking distance and a great spot to be based for enjoying the Norfolk Coast and surrounding areas. The only challenge was the walk from the village hall car park to the cottage. Although not particularly far (a few mintues), it was a deep gravel path on a slight hill so was a challenge for elderly and children and pushing the pram on especially in the rain when you wanted to get to the cottage quickly from the car). Overall, a lovely little spot that I would absolutely recommend and come to again! Hide

This has to be the most immaculately presented holiday home we have ever stayed in. Gorgeous bedding, comfy carpets, well stocked kitchen, games cupboard, excellent garden with sunshine, lots of character and charm. Honestly we felt like we were at home. It was just exceptional. We loved walking up the gravel path and along the road to the lovely pRead moreub and went on some nice runs from the cottage to the sea. Easy to drive from Cley to towns. Holt was beautiful and I enjoyed shopping there in the lovely independent shops. I cannot recommend this cottage enough...it just has everything you need, great location, well thought out, beautiful touches and comfortable. Easy to check in with key safe. Hide

This cottage is really spacious and luxurious. We absolutely loved it and didnt want to leave. The garden is beautiful with enough space for kids to run around, plus the playground is so close you can pop whenever you like. The snug space was a winner and we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again!
