Mermaid Cottage

A recently renovated quaint little cottage based in a hamlet of old fishermen's cottages in Newport, Hemsby. These quirky homes are now rare to come by, built for local people making a living from the sea from as far back as 1750, and are now make up a designated conservation area. Built from beach pebbles and lime mortar with clay in a style known as ‘Caister Cobble’, Mermaid Cottage sits just behind sand dunes a stone’s throw from the beach and boasts beautiful sea views from both bedrooms.

The cottage is well-equipped for your self-catered stay, and suitable all year round for families or friends; cosy up on the comfortable seating provided in front of the telly and warm your toes after a long walk on the beach with the wood-burner, or bask in the sunshine in your own private courtyard garden.
