  • Wonderful,cosy flint cottage located in a peaceful North Norfolk village within easy reach of the beautiful North Norfolk coastline

  • An ideal base for family or friends to explore the stunning North Norfolk coast and countryside
Overview
Property code: OC-76562

With the stunning North Norfolk coast on its doorstep, this cosy cottage is perfectly placed for a peaceful East of England retreat. Sleeping five over three comfortable bedrooms and with space for up to two furry friends, you could all soon be spending your days getting sandy feet and paws on the nearby beaches, before unwinding beside the wood burner at night. With lots of incredible countryside to roam too, you’ll have ample opportunity for walkies.

Traditionally styled with welcoming and homely touches, the cottage exudes comfort and charm. Relax in the characterful lounge, where the wood burner stands within the original open fire. Catch up with your favourite TV show or unwind with a good book after a busy day exploring. The kitchen/diner provides enough space for five guests, making it the perfect spot for a family meal at any time of day, although in warmer months you may wish to dine alfresco in the enclosed garden while your hounds enjoy the fresh air and space to roam. Upstairs, you’ll find the three cosy bedrooms with plenty of storage.

Get a taste for Norfolk life at the local pub, just 150 metres from the cottage’s front door, or head to nearby Wells-next-the-Sea for a range of shops and eateries. From here, join one of the boat trips from the town’s harbour or enjoy a day at the beach, relaxing on the fine golden sands while the dogs and kids enjoy a paddle. Blickling Estate (19.5 miles) is a fantastic spot to bring your hounds for a run around, with 4,600 acres to explore. The circular trails at Holt Country Park (10.5 miles), on the edge of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, are also great for exploring and stick-chasing.

We thought that everything came together to make a wonderful experience. The rooms were spacious, the decor and furnishings (oh, the luxury of having a sofa each!) fitted the character of the cottage very well. The location couldn't be bettered. The cottage's location in a rural countryside was both attractive and relaxing, added to by the lovelyRead more village pub which served excellent food while being only a few steps away from"home". Also, closer by than we thought, Wells next the Sea was charming, the dogs would have stayed forever on Holkham Beach and don't miss the signposts to "The Parlour" very close by, selling very good food as well as raw milk and a good selection of local cheeses. As you can no doubt gather from the above, we had a wonderful time and can't praise the cottage and its owners highly enough Hide

The house is in a fantastic location for the Norfolk coast with a lovely pub just down the road and good off road parking.
