Property code: OC-2076

This characterful and quaint cottage, set on the edge of the Royal Sandringham Estate, provides a fabulous retreat for a family of five and two canine companions. Have a ball exploring the 243 hectares of parkland around you or spend days beside the sea before relaxing at this wonderful retreat.

Enter this welcoming cottage into the pretty lounge. This is the ideal spot to unwind after a busy day, as the dogs snooze in front of the warming wood burner. Adjacent is a separate snug, which can double up as a single bedroom, perfect for the children of the group to socialise together. The large kitchen/diner features the original pamment floor and has everything you need to rustle up delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Upstairs are the two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. You will be spoilt for choice outside with two enclosed spaces to enjoy. To the front is an artificial grass lawn with a patio area, and to the rear is a decked area filled with shrubs and plants. Enjoy dining alfresco, stargazing, or sipping a morning coffee as the dogs safely explore.

Dersingham is a pretty village that borders the Sandringham Estate. It has a range of shops and eateries that you can easily reach on foot and paw, or head into Sandringham’s grounds where there are waymarked nature trails and woodlands. Go barking mad on Norfolk’s superb coastline, with the fabulous beaches of Heacham (6.5 miles) nearby. Hunstanton (8.5 miles) is a pretty seaside town with a couple of sandy beaches and a wonderful promenade to take a stroll along.

A lovely, pretty, quiet cottage with lots of good features. Homely warm and comfy. The area is pretty and quiet but near shops etc. We found we did not have to travel far to get to nice villages etc. Sandringham is close by and is a lovely place to go and we loved the name of one road we went on, Donkey Pond Hill, brilliant. Petals tearoom andRead more gift shop just down the road is excellent. They are dog friendly and give treats and take photos of them and put on a slide show on display. Local homemade things for sale. Excellent food and drinks well worth a visit or two. Best pub Three Horseshoe in Roydon, lovely food, very good value and friendly helpful staff, went 3 times. A really great holiday and relaxing. Hide

Lovely cute cottage in an excellent location for exploring the stunning Norfolk coast. Cottage was well equipped and beautifully dressed. Pretty enclosed gardens for our 2 lil furballs too. Super close to Sandringham and perfectly placed for trips to Hunstanton, Wells and more. Would highly recommend.

The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. The cottage is in an excellent location for exploration of coastal resorts and interesting villages. Also very good for RSPB sites and for nature lovers in general.

Cleaning could have been better. Under sofas not clean, found items belonging to previous visitors in washing machine and back of ottoman box. No cleaning materials for kitchen, bathroom shower curtain filthy at bottom. Improved overall cleaning would have made the cottage really great.
