This quaint coastal cottage with characterful period features is sure to set tails wagging. This delightful escape is set back along the coastal road in the popular seaside resort town of Brancaster. It’s a welcoming retreat offering accommodation for a family of up to five and one pup, with all the elements you are sure to have on your beach holiday wish list.

Step in through the porch to the inviting living room with its cosy atmosphere that is carried through the rest of the cottage too. Your dog can spend the evening stretched out in front of the wood burner whilst you all relax into the comfortable seating and perhaps plan your next day of adventuring. The traditional galley kitchen with its original beams has been updated in a contemporary farmhouse style and offers all you’ll require to cater for your stay. Upstairs, there are three well-appointed bedrooms; a king-size master, a twin room and a third bedroom offering a built-in 4ft bed. The family bathroom is also on this floor. Outside, you can soak up the sun in the paved courtyard to the front of the property, a lovely place to enjoy your morning coffee.

This holiday cottage is set back from the coastal road to Brancaster, just 0.5 miles from the heart of the town, which itself is a popular holiday destination well known for its award-winning restaurants and fantastic local produce. Enjoy local delicacies such as muscles and other seasonal seafood dishes. The diverse local habitat is also celebrated, with salt marsh, reedbeds and freshwater lagoons at the RSPB reserve at Tichwell, 2 miles away.

Four of us stayed over Christmas week. The cottage is cosy and comfortable and in a wonderful location for walking and visiting the beach. It is on the main coast road route for the Coastliner bus. Plenty of places to eat nearby. Recommend Thornham Deli and Drovers. A good base for a coastal break.

Great location, with a lovely pub and a great village shop, and more excellent facilities down the road at Brancaster Staithes. Very close to the beach and some beautiful walks. Cosy lounge with a very welcome log burner. Very comfortable beds and nicely decorated bedrooms. The kitchen is adequate, but just needs some TLC in terms of sorting Read moreall the cupboards, as theyre jam packed with mostly unnecessary equipment. Hide
