  • This is an ideal retreat in tranquil surroundings to get away from it all, set in a picturesque Norfolk village 
  • The traditional seaside towns of Cromer and Sheringham are just a short drive away with their lovely beaches and ideal for visiting the stunning Georgian town of Holt with shops, pubs and restaurants
  • Perfect for discovering the North Norfolk coast and countryside and visit the beautiful National Trust sites of Felbrigg and Bickling Hall
Property code: OC-75916

Bursting with charm and character, this beautiful cottage is a homely bolthole for four from which to explore North Norfolk. The Victorian seaside resort of Sheringham, and Cromer with its famous pier are both within 5 miles of your door, as is the Norfolk Coast Path where you can enjoy breathtaking ocean views. After adventures, curl up with a loved one or family members beneath rustic, exposed beams and stay warm by the roaring wood burner or head into the cosy snug for some peace and quiet.

Step inside the open-plan lounge/diner where exposed beams line the ceiling and you can light the wood burner which sits in a charming brick fireplace. There’s a stash of books to delve into if you fancy some light reading or you can steal away for a moment of peace in the snug where the TV/DVD is perfect for film nights and you’ll find a further selection of books. Stylish and characterful, the kitchen is great for cooking up delicious dinners which can be savoured at the dining table or plated up al fresco in your large back garden. Blooming with flowers, the garden is a relaxing space in which to enjoy a drink and is enclosed so your pup can chase their tail safely. Upstairs, a pair of peaceful bedrooms await weary heads so you can doze off and feel rested and ready for the adventures ahead.

Brilliantly located for beach days, make the 5-mile trip to Cromer where you can walk the pier, devour local crab or hop on the Norfolk Coast Path. At the end of the pier, you can watch the traditional variety show or you could travel 23 miles to the city of Norwich and enjoy a trip to the Theatre Royal after a well-deserved meal out at one of the city’s many restaurants.

A really lovely cottage which we found very comfortable and pleasant to stay in. We did a mixture of relaxing at the cottage (such a tranquil and relaxing garden) and going out - we walked from the doorstep to Sheringham & Felbrigg, both very nice walks through mix of fields/wooded areas/country lanes and tracks. We cooked most nights and found eveRead morerything we needed for this. Really generous and thoughtful hamper. Shops not far by car to Cromer. Very peaceful location. Would highly recommend. Hide

A very well equipped cottage, with lovely garden. An amazing welcome basket, the best we have ever had. Good location for Holt, Holkham and Wells. Two National Trust Estates nearby namely Felbrigg and Blickling which are both worth a visit. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A fantastic dog friendly cottage with everything you could desire for a great week's stay. The location is fantastic, so close to many attractions, we had some great days out. Some great pubs and restauants in the area and only a short drive to supermarkets. The cottage was very peaceful and relaxing and great to come home to after a days exploringRead more. There was a fantastic welcome pack when we arrived that was the best we have ever received. Would highly recommend. Hide

The cottage and garden were splendid apart from the dog escape route over the low wall. The welcome basket was second to none and I wish other cottage owners would follow suit as in the past we have had some very poor offerings.
