This traditional Norfolk cottage sits in the village of South Creake, just 7 miles from the coast. Sleeping four guests, the pet-friendly property suits couples and small families looking to explore all that North Norfolk has to offer. As well as the glorious beaches nearby, you'll be within easy reach of top attractions such as Norfolk Lavender (12 miles) and Holkham Hall (6 miles).

The brick and flint cottage has been beautifully decorated and styled, with a calming colour scheme and an array of creature comforts. From the front door, step into the lounge, which boasts a cosy wood burner, a Smart TV, and bi-fold doors opening onto the garden. The lounge area leads through to a country-style kitchen, with everything needed for a self-catered stay. The separate dining room is full of character and has a large dining table to seat everyone. From the lounge, a curved, cottage-style staircase leads to the first-floor landing, where you'll find a cute reading nook and space to hang clothes. This floor has two double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. Outside, the enclosed courtyard garden has a choice of seating areas, including a space for al fresco dining plus a covered corner seat. The garden also has a handy dog shower. Private parking is available for two cars.

South Creake is the starting point for several local walks, either following the river or through the surrounding countryside. After a long walk, refuel in the village pub. The bustling market town of Fakenham is 6 miles away and offers a good range of eateries. You'll also be just 4.5 miles from the pretty village of Burnham Market, which is renowned for its independent boutiques, galleries, and antique stores. For a day at the seaside, journey to the golden sands of Wells-next-the-Sea (6.5 miles).

We had a fab time at Sandpiper Cottage. Everything we needed was there for a comfortable week's stay. The cottage is nicely situated for all the sights but in a sleepy village. There was an issue with the dishwasher while we were there but that was quickly and easily sorted by the owner Ian. We will definitely be back!

The cottage is lovely and is well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay . Its situated in a beautiful village with great walks on the doorstep, it's close to lots of places to visit and the coast we would definitely recommend. The owners are very quick to respond to any problems.
