Take a break at this charming seaside escape on the North Norfolk coast and you’ll love its nautical decor, brightly lit rooms and oasis-style garden. Less than a mile from your doorstep you’ll find the seafront and Victorian resort of Hunstanton which offers something for all ages, from coastal walks and amusements to seal spotting boat trips.

Welcoming you into the property is the cosy living room, equipped with a wood burner for the winter months and a sumptuous corner sofa where you can sink in to watch a film. The room is tastefully styled, taking inspiration from the surrounding location with handpicked trinkets to ensure you feel immediately at home. Adjoining the lounge is the kitchen/diner which enjoys wooden floors and all-white interiors. The windows and patio doors light up the space with an airy feel, creating a lovely spot for mealtimes all through the day. Both bedrooms are located on the first floor, starting with the elegant master bedroom, furnished with a king-size bed and calming colours to help you get a good night’s rest. Bedroom two is a fun room, ideally suited to children featuring a set of twin beds and bunk beds in cool coastal colourways. Outside, the garden is small but perfectly formed with quirky seating where you can sit and sip your morning coffee whilst listening to the birds.

Avid walkers can join a stretch of the Norfolk Coast Path, travelling towards Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve or RSPB Snettisham, both of which are idyllic spots to stop off for a picnic. There are a number of exquisite historic houses to visit in the local area, including Sandringham Estate (10 miles) and Holkham Hall (15 miles), which offers a look into the past with beautifully manicured gardens for a relaxing afternoon stroll.

A lovely cottage with good bus links and only a 5 mins walk to the beach. A different pace of life, which is most welcoming

This is such a lovely, warm and comfortable cottage to stay in. The hosts have thought of everything you could possibly need. We did not want to leave! The cottage is very well situated to access a wonderful coast line and so many beautiful Norfolk villages. We had a fabulous week and will definitely be coming back.

This is a really nice cottage, everything you could need for a break away, nice and clean with comfortable beds, and quality bedding. In a perfect position between 2 hotels, for meals without using the car. We were lucky with the weather and were able to sit out in the courtyard garden,its small but a comfortable sun trap. Parking outside the propRead moreerty always a bonus. Hide

Had a lovely relaxing stay in this cute and cosy cottage. It was very clean and comfortable and a good location to all of north Norfolks attractions. I particularly liked that it was a five min walk to the beautiful beach. I was lucky enough to have some sunny weather and the little courtyard was a perfect sun trap. I would definitely book again.

An absolutely beautiful property with everything provided. Obviously lovingly put together by the owners. I particularly loved the little courtyard and how it was lit up at night. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too good and so we could only admire it from inside.

The house is really nice, it's the second time we've stayed there. The location is good, about 10 mins walk to the beach and close to the 3 hotels/pubs. The house has all you need and is very comfortable. The small patio area was really nice as we had very good weather during our stay.

Although this property is advertised for a maximum of six persons clothe storage for " smalls" is very limited and a family with children would have to live out of a suitcase.
