  • Large, enclosed garden with lawn and summer house
  • Spacious rooms throughout including a sunny conservatory for relaxation
Property code: OC-1369

Treat a group of friends or family to a tranquil getaway in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This bright and spacious, three-bed, brick and flint property features a conservatory, and an enclosed garden with a summerhouse and a BBQ. Spend your day spotting wildlife at the nearby nature reserves, relaxing on the beach and strolling along the coastal paths.

Step inside the neutral-toned lounge to find two comfortable sofas and an armchair around the ornamental fireplace and Smart TV, with plenty of room for your four-legged friends to stretch out on the floor by your feet. Glass doors lead to the sunny conservatory with more soft seating plus a small bistro table. Continue into the homely farmhouse-style kitchen with warm tones and shaker-style cabinets. Completing the ground floor is a utility room and a separate WC. Upstairs is a family bathroom plus three generous sized bedrooms – a super-king-size with an en-suite shower room, a twin and a king-size.

Beautiful house, well equipped and in a very quiet location - just what we needed. Lovely garden, which we used a lot in our second week once the weather warmed up. Would highly recommend this property.

We thought Avocet Cottage was great. Very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Location is very convenient for many places on the North Norfolk coast. We would rent it again.

Excellent base for exploring North Norfolk. The property was comfortable and well stocked, with a sizeable enclosed rear garden which proved ideal for the dog. Overall, very recommended.

Perfect location with easy access to local places of interest. Superb house with everything you could possibly need. The weather was kind to us so we were able to enjoy breakfast on the patio on a couple of occasions. Pub within waking distance which was very friendly and served delicious food. Thoroughly recommend Avocet House

House excellent but a big eucalyptus tree I. The back garden shed its leaves hourly, leaving dead leaves all over the lawn and outside table and chairs. I was given an incorrect key code by the booking agency so could not get into the property until the housekeeper arrived. She was very helpful and explained the code was one digit wrong.

We had a lovely week at Avocet House. The house is spacious and very comfortable. The back garden is totally secure which was ideal for us as we have an inquisitive dog. The beautiful, sandy beaches of Wells, Holkham and Brancaster are about a 20 minute drive away and have dog friendly areas all year. We didn't eat in the local pub (Blue Bell) Read morebut did have a very good Sunday lunch at The Three Swallows at Cley next the Sea. Hide
