Make the most of your time with your loved ones at this charming two-storey cottage in the village of Snettisham, where exposed wooden beams, ornamental brick fireplaces and a light-filled conservatory opening onto a long enclosed garden create a beautifully characterful base for a North Norfolk coastal break. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it's ideal for families or groups of friends who are searching for a characterful village retreat to call home while they explore the nature reserves, royal estates and beaches of the Norfolk coastline together. Head to the RSPB Snettisham Nature Reserve (1.5 miles) at high tide for one of the most spectacular wildlife events in Britain – where vast flocks of wading birds rise from the mudflats of the Wash to perform a breathtaking aerial display. In the evening, come home relax in the conservatory with a glass of wine in hand.
Step inside this pretty cottage and you’ll discover an attractive open-plan lounge and dining area where exposed wooden beams, ornamental brick fireplaces and rustic touches create an immediately warm and characterful atmosphere. Rustle up your favourite dishes in the stylish kitchen and get everyone together in the dining area to share a proper family meal. Alternatively step out into the long enclosed garden and dine alfresco on the patio. Afterwards, head to the conservatory and open a bottle of something cool and crisp – it’s a lovely place to play a board game or to simply watching the birds in the garden – or make your way back to the lounge area to stretch out in front of the Smart TV for movie night. When the day is done, two bedrooms await on the first floor (please note the open-tread staircase should be used with care) - a king-size and a twin (the twin can be converted into a king-size on request). A family bathroom with a bath and shower complete the layout. Parking for one car is available on the driveway (small space, no dropped kerb).
Make your way to the Sandringham Royal Estate (3.5 miles) to explore the extensive gardens at the Royal family's beloved Norfolk retreat. Or head into Old Hunstanton (6 miles) to see its distinctive striped chalk cliffs and rolling sand dunes and to try your hand at kitesurfing or stand-up paddleboarding.
