Property code: OC-88326

Bursting with wonderful, charming original features, this traditional thatched cottage epitomises peace and tranquillity, featuring plenty of outside space for you to soak up your coastal surroundings and four-legged friends to explore.

Leave your walking boots at the front door to hunker down for the evening in the charmingly quaint living room and soothe tired walking muscles by relaxing on one of the comfy sofas and admiring the rich heritage of the cottage through its gorgeous exposed ceiling beams and original brick floor. Step through to the traditional farmhouse-style kitchen/diner to rustle up a delicious meal with all the wonderful local produce you’ve collected. As day turns to night, wind your way up the rustic cottage staircase to find two spacious adjoining bedrooms underneath the eaves of the cottage with more beautiful exposed beams to admire. Invite the outside in by throwing open the patio doors at the rear of the cottage to dine alfresco on the compact patio, made private by some mature borders. Beyond the patio, there’s a lovely long lawn that children and four-legged friends will adore exploring.

Lying on the Norfolk coast between Cromer and Great Yarmouth, the friendly seaside village of Bacton is known for its quiet sandy beach offering miles of long walking trails up and down the coast along the shoreline and cliffs. Grab your hiking boots or two wheels and join up with the magical England Coast Path that passes through the village or join the Paston Way walking path that links Cromer and North Walsham to discover the area’s beautiful medieval churches and magical clifftop views of the coastline. Cromer (11 miles) and Sheringham (16 miles) offer a fantastic selection of shops, restaurants and cafes, as well as wonderful sandy stretches and quintessentially seaside amusements for you to discover.

The cottage is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues or children and would benefit from a handrail on the very steep staircase. The property was very tired and in need of refreshing including bedding, curtains and sofas. The location was delightful with easy access to the sea but the lack of parking made access difficult.

My girlfriend and I ( and our 2 dogs ) have just come back from a very pleasant 4 night stay at Garth cottage which is literally 100 meters from the beach and there is a pub 5 mins walk either along the beach top or along the road. It is a very quaint quirky cottage with a very tight staircase up to the 2 bedrooms. The lounge is very comfortable Read morewith 2 sofas and the kitchen is well equipped Hide

I will forever remember this lovely little cottage as the place I proposed to my girlfriend on the stunning beach just behind the cottage. What a wonderful cottage, time in our lives and the clean sandy beaches are to die for....Oh and our dogs had the best time as well.

Even better than the photos and descriptions on the web site. Clean, Warm, Welcoming. Ideal for dog owners, near to extensive sandy beaches. Very hard to better the location or welcome. Brenda and Keith. West Midlands (14th September 2025)

Lovely place to stay. Close to the beach. No phone reception in any room or WiFi, which was what we needed. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as stairs very tight, but fully understandable owing to property age.

Chose rhis cottage for its proximity to the beach as we were taking our 8 year old granddaughter who loves all things sea and sand so not disappointed. Very sweet looking cottage from the outside but very basic inside and very dark!! Needs updating and a bit of TLC. As others have mentioned very steep and narrow stairs
