Property code: OC-2382

Tell Fido to take a rest from watchdog duty – you can all lap up the uninterrupted views of North Norfolk’s evocative coastline from this one-of-a-kind holiday home. With two en-suite bedrooms, two sitting rooms and direct access to Morston Quay, it’s an idyllic retreat for a family or two couples and their salty sea dog.

Sea air and salt marshes will ensure lots of waggy-tailed time at this quirky coastal abode… but there’s plenty to please those who simply want to get away from it all too. A traditional cottage-style entrance welcomes you inside; step into the characterful kitchen and you’ll find all the self-catering essentials plus plenty of space for your pet to stay close as you share meals at the rustic dining suite. One of the property''s two bedrooms is on the ground floor: a twin room with zip-n-link single beds which can be made into a super-king-size double bed on request. For ultra-convenience, this room has its en-suite shower room. Moving upstairs, you’ll find an open-plan sitting room where on cooler nights you can curl up on the sofa before the wood burner and watch TV. Whatever the weather, you’ll want to spend time in the second social space here: a stunning look-out with additional seating, a dining table and triple-aspect floor-to-ceiling windows that offer uninterrupted views across Morston Creek and Blakeney Point. A double bedroom with an en-suite shower room completes the floorplan. When you want a sniff of fresh air, simply step out onto the first-floor balcony or unwind with Fido in the courtyard garden – your lawned area has direct access to Morston Quay and the Norfolk Coast Path.

One of North Norfolk’s most atmospheric locations, Morston is a paradise for walkers and wildlife-watchers. Morston Quay is a busy tidal harbour with beautiful walks leading to Blakeney (1.5 miles), Wells (6.6 miles) and beyond. Spot the local seals with a boat trip – dog-friendly excursions embark at Morston Quay and Blakeney. Alternatively, walk the parklands at some of East Anglia’s finest country houses: Holkham Hall is 9 miles along the coast and Sheringham Park is 10.5 miles.

  • 2 bedrooms - 1 double, 1 twin (zip-and-link can be made as a super-king on request)
  • 2 bathrooms - 2 en-suite shower rooms
  • Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and freezer, 2 additional fridges, washing machine, dishwasher and coffee machine
  • Smart TV Wood burner (1st basket of logs provided)
  • Patio area with garden furniture, courtyard garden area and lawned area
  • Private Parking for 2 cars
  • Pub less than a mile, Shop 1.3 miles, beach 8 miles

Had the most relaxing stay at The Lookout, couldn't have asked for anything more. Fantastic cottage, clean, comfortable & well equipped. Incredible views from the balcony, the high spring tides rolling in were spectacular. Seal trips from the bottom of the garden pretty much & lovely walk along the coastal path to Blakeney a must.

The Lookout in Morston is a wonderful place to stay, its location next to Morston Quay is ideal if you like walking and birdwatching. My husband and I are keen birdwatchers, we would recommend this place to stay if you are the same. Morston Hall Hotel is a 2 minute walk, the tasting menu is so good for a special occasion, we loved it, but it is verRead morey pricey. Hide

There cannot be many holiday properties on the Norfolk Coast which give an uninterrupted view from Wells round to Cley. Very peaceful with fantastic views of sunsets (and a 4.30am sunrise) from the balcony.

Lovely cottage with amazing views. Had difficulty parking when we arrived but easily sorted out. Also no hot water but once we had read the welcome pack we found how to turn it on. We had a lovely stay, certainly plenty of room for 4 people and one dog. We walked to Blakeney and explored the local area. The only thing that would have been good is sRead moreome binoculars to watch all the birds. Hide
