This rustic cottage, just 7 miles from Wells-next-the-Sea, is set in a quiet residential area with a traditional pub that serves fantastic food and real ales. It is surrounded by a patchwork of farmland, dissected by winding country lanes leading to a wealth of attractions across the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Ideal for families or groups of friends with a dog, the cottage’s roomy conservatory and outhouse are just two of the umpteen corners where guests can recharge.
Separated from the road leading into Langham by a spacious gravel driveway, the true character of the cottage will rush forward to greet you the moment the front door is opened. Tasteful soft furnishings pepper rooms with a bright colour scheme, not least in the lounge, which enjoys the natural light pouring in from the windows to the beautiful garden. The kitchen/diner offers a similar colour palette, a place where a certain four-pawed friend will patrol well before indulgent recipes finish their time on the oven. Enjoy the seclusion of the roomy conservatory with only a book for company, restorative sprays in the shower room and guilt-free lie-ins in either of the two twin bedrooms that stand nearby. Watch your children and excitable hound run about the garden while you relax with a refreshment or tend to the BBQ beside the wooden outhouse, an attractive option for some quiet time.
Head through the Norfolk Coast AONB to stretch your legs on the beach at Wells-next-the-Sea (7 miles), home to vibrant streets, the quay and the harbour. Explore the sand dunes on Holkham Beach (9.5 miles) before a wander around the estate’s vast grounds. Morston or Blakeney (both 2.5 miles) are the perfect launch pads from which to explore the wealth of wildlife found across the area’s rivers and marshes.
